7 June 2011

New Discovery at the Muridae Trapsmith!

The Trapsmith at the Muridae Market has made a ground-breaking discovery on how to utilize delicate sheets of Papyrus to create a base with an impressive luck bonus! The Papyrus base has a good mix of both power and luck, offering 400 power along with 10 luck. It's made from razor-thin sheets of Papyrus contained within a metal binding.

Visit the Trapsmith at the Muridae Market for more details.

New Location: Muridae Market Needs Help!

2 June 2011

The Muridae Market Needs Help!

The Muridae Market, located in the Sandtail Desert, has been left in a state of disrepair after recent attacks by the Marching Flame! The market is calling out for the help of hunters who have helped push the Marching Flame back by capturing a Warmonger Mouse to aid in the repair of the market. If you have captured a Warmonger Mouse, you'll now be able to travel to the Muridae Market where you can help in the rebuilding process.

Collecting Construction Materials

To help rebuild the various shops in the Muridae Market, you'll first need to find suitable construction materials! Although the market has ordered a variety of building materials, the shipments are constantly being ransacked by mice! You'll need to hunt mice at the Muridae Market to recover Limestone Bricks, Coconut Timber and Shards of Glass that you will then be able to use to rebuild the Cheese Shoppe, General Store, Trapsmith, Charm Shoppe and Cartographer. Not only will each shop owner give you a small reward for your help, but you'll also be able to purchase new items from each shop you help rebuild! New crafting items, traps and charms await!

Rebuilding the Cheese Shoppe

The Cheese Shop appears to be the least damaged of the shops. Rebuilding it will earn you a cheese reward and unlock the ability to purchase most of the basic types of cheese for a reasonable price, making restocking your bait a little more convenient while hunting in the remote desert.

Rebuilding the General Store

Rebuilding the General Store will prove extremely helpful while rebuilding other shops in the market. At the General Store you'll be able to trade any excess building materials you have for other types of building materials you need. It's also the only place you'll find Molten Glass, which is needed to rebuild some of the more damaged shops in the market.

Rebuilding the Trapsmith

The Muridae Trapsmith offers some extremely powerful traps that will be very useful if you're looking to upgrade your trap to better hunt in the mice in the market. Once you have rebuilt the Trapsmith you'll be able to purchase the Sandtail Sentinel and the Dimensional Chest Trap, both of which have impressive power and luck stats! These traps are powered by Flameshards, so make sure you have some handy before visiting the shop to purchase a trap!

Rebuilding the Charm Shoppe

Rebuilding the Charm Shoppe will allow you to purchase a wide variety of interesting charms that can help you better hunt in both the Muridae Market, as well as help you fight off future Marching Flame attacks in the Fiery Warpath. One charm of particular interest is the Artisan Charm, which will attract a couple of elusive mice that drop a particularly rare building material: Papyrus. Finding a few pieces of Papyrus is needed in order to rebuild the Cartographer.

Rebuilding the Cartographer

The Cartographer at the Muridae Market is responsible for creating keys used to access the enchanted garden that sits within the massive dome atop the market. The garden was severely damaged during the attacks, causing the magical desert flowers within the garden to be be wiped out in a wall of flame. The garden's keepers are hard at work re-growing these flowers, but it is a slow and tedious process that will no doubt take a considerable amount of time.

Until the gardeners have finished their work, no hunters will be permitted into the Living Garden; however, you may purchase a key to be ready for when the garden opens.

Hints and Tips for Rebuilding

• You can rebuild the shops in any order you wish. However, keep in mind that you'll need to rebuild the General Store to be able to purchase Molten Glass, which is used to rebuild some of the more damaged shops.
• If you find yourself having a large excess of a particular building material you can visit the General Store to trade it for other building materials.
• Rebuilding the Trapsmith will prove extremely useful if you're looking for a more powerful trap to hunt mice at the market.
• To find Papyrus and rebuild the Cartographer, you'll need to purchase Artisan Charms after rebuilding the Charm Shoppe.
• If you're unsure of which shop to rebuild next, you may visit them to see a preview of their goods.

King's Supply Kits and Gift Baskets

To help rebuild the city the King has assembled a few baskets and supply kits to aid hunters who are helping to rebuild the Muridae Market. These kits contain SUPER|brie+ and provide the Lucky Golden Shield. As a small bonus, the King has also included a small amount of construction materials to lend a hand with rebuilding the city. The Mega Supply Kit also has a few Artisan Charms to help attract a greater variety of mice!
