Lunar New Year 2022
Number of Event Mice: 16
Starting Date: 31 January 2022
Ending Date: 15 February 2022

Overview

During the Lunar New Year 2022 event, Hunters should head to designated stockpile locations throughout the Kingdom first to claim a Tiger Lunar Lantern from the HUD.

Then, Hunters can hunt normally in the same stockpile locations to obtain Dumpling Cheese as loot from regular mice. Dumpling Cheese (or Nian Gao'da Cheese) can then be armed to attract Lunar New Year Mice that drop Lunar Lantern Candles (or Red Lunar Lantern Candles if Nian Gao'da Cheese is armed).

Finally, Hunters can light Lunar Lantern Candles and Red Lunar Lantern Candles throughout the Kingdom to obtain various bonuses and gain extra rewards depending on the number of candles lit.

HUD

Hunters can track their progress within the event through the Heads-Up Display.

It can be divided into several segments:

  • Top Left:
    • An indicator that shows whether the Hunter is in a stockpile location:
      • If the Hunter is in one, the display reads Lunar Stockpile Found
      • If the Hunter is not in one, the display reads No Lunar Stockpile
      • Regardless, hovering the mouse over the display reveals a text bubble:
      Gather Dumpling Cheese at Lunar Stockpiles from regular mice. Use it to attract and defeat the Costumed Mice!
    • Dumpling Cheese - Quick arm/disarm
      • When armed in a non-stockpile location, the following warning appears in the centre display:
      No Lunar New Year mice here!
      You should select another bait or travel to a Stockpile Location.
      Click "More Info" in the top-right!
      • Hovering the mouse over the Dumpling Cheese reveals a text bubble:
      Dumpling Cheese attracts Lunar New Year and Costumed Mice at Stockpile Locations!
  • Bottom Left:
    • Lunar Lantern Candles - Quick arm/disarm and buy
      • When Lunar Lantern Candles are armed, a sign labelled Double Drops lights up in colour (it is uncoloured when not armed)
      • Hovering the mouse over the Lunar Lantern Candles reveals a text bubble:
      When you have the Tiger Lunar Lantern, you can use Lunar Lantern Candles to DOUBLE most loot drops!
  • Centre:
  • Top Right:
    • Clicking More Info will open a window with the following:
      • An overview of the event:
      Hunt with Dumpling Cheese to attract Event Mice at stockpile locations to earn candles for the Tiger Lantern!
      As you burn Lunar Lantern Candles, your Tiger Lantern will lift into the air and gain extra rewards!
      • An explanation of the loot doubling and tripling effects as well as restrictions:
      Double or even TRIPLE your loot!
      The Tiger Lunar Lantern will boost the loot a captured mouse is carrying! However, there are a few things it can't quite figure out how to duplicate.
      It will not duplicate:
      Dumpling Cheese
      Nian Gao'da Cheese
      Red or White Lunar Lantern Candles
      Map Pieces
      Treasure Map Clues
      A mouse's gold or points
      Items added by bases, charms, auras or other special effects
      Certain items with quantity restrictions
      Library Research Assignment Items
      Itself
      Hunters.
      Attempting to duplicate any of these items could break the laws of space-time itself! The King frowns upon that sort of thing.
      Additionally, the Lunar Lantern will not accelerate progress for Bristle Woods Rift Chambers or other areas where mouse loot affects progress.
      Lunar Stockpiles have popped up all over Gnawnia!
      Hunt in these areas below to find Dumpling Cheese, then equip it to attract Lunar New Year mice!
    • Nian Gao'da Cheese - Quick arm/disarm and buy
      • Hovering the mouse over the Nian Gao'da Cheese reveals a text bubble:
      Nian Gao'da Cheese attracts a special stockpile mouse that drops Red Lunar Candles!
  • Bottom Right:
    • Red Lunar Lantern Candles - Quick arm/disarm and buy
      • When Red Lunar Lantern Candles are armed, a sign labelled Triple Treat lights up in colour (it is uncoloured when not armed)
      • Hovering the mouse over the Red Lunar Lantern Candles reveals a text bubble:
      When you have the Tiger Lunar Lantern, you can use Red Lunar Lantern Candles to TRIPLE most loot drops!

Stockpiles of Dumpling Cheese

Stockpiles of Dumpling Cheese can be found in 12 locations within the Kingdom.
Hunt with the cheeses that attract the mice normally found in these locations to obtain Dumpling Cheese as loot.
Hunting with either Dumpling Cheese or Nian Gao'da Cheese in Stockpile locations is the only way to attract the Lunar New Year Mice and may improve the attraction rate of some of the rarer mice in these locations.

Dumpling Cheese and Nian Gao'da Cheese will not attract mice outside of the stockpile locations.

Lunar Lantern and Candles

After claiming the Tiger Lunar Lantern from the event HUD one of the stockpile locations, the Hunter can light either Lunar Lantern Candles or Red Lunar Lantern Candles to obtain the bonuses stated below.
The Tiger Lunar Lantern will provide the bonuses only when it is lit.
Regardless of the type of candle used and the outcome of the hunt, 1 candle will be consumed with each hunt.

Luck Bonus

  • Each Lunar Lantern Candle burned will raise the lantern height by 1 foot.
  • Each Red Lunar Lantern Candle burned will raise the height by 2 feet.
  • Every 10 feet of the lantern height will add +1 luck.
  • The maximum height is 500 feet, hence the maximum possible luck bonus is +50.

Loot Doubling and Tripling Bonus

  • Loot is doubled when Lunar Lantern Candles are in use.
    • The Hunter's Journal will show the following message:
    By the light of the Tiger Lunar Lantern, I also earned the following bonus loot:
    ...
  • Loot is tripled when Red Lunar Lantern Candles are in use.
    • The Hunter's Journal will show the following message:
    By the power of the Red Candles and the light of the Tiger Lunar Lantern, I also earned the following bonus loot:
    ...
  • Almost any item that appears as mouse loot in the journal entry after the message below will be multiplied, subject to the restrictions stated above.
The mouse also dropped the following loot:
  • If an item's quantity limit is exceeded as a result of the candle's boost, the indicator (Max Quantity Reached) will appear beside the item and the Hunter will not receive any loot beyond the quantity limit.
