:::Defeat the Sandmouse to trick-and-treat throughout the Kingdom!
 
  
−
====Spooky Sandcastle and the Sandmouse====
+
:::A meteor has crashed into Varmint Valley, transforming the mice!
−
The spooky season of Halloween is upon us and a mouse obsessed with the moon is plotting to bring nightmares to hunters in Gnawnia!
 
  
−
The Sandmouse has constructed an elaborate Sandcastle in the heart of Gnawnia. The eerie glowing moon is conjuring images of the moon crashing into the Kingdom, causing nightmares for all who gaze upon the castle. The King needs the help of hunters to track down the Sandmouse and force the mischievous mouse to surrender.
+
====Fort Rox Defensive Position====
 +
The eerily glowing moon signals atop the Spooky Sandcastle have pulled a massive meteor towards Gnawnia! The otherworldly chunk of rock has crashed into Varmint Valley, just south of the Gnawnian Express Station.
  
−
A new adventure has been added to your adventure book to embark upon this spooky (but sweet) adventure! You'll be setting up a candy bowl, trick-and-treating, and tracking down a Magical Pillowcase!
+
The cosmic radiation from the glowing chunk of space rock has had a profound effect on the local mice -- they're transforming into powerful weremice at night! The King needs the help of Baron/Baroness (and up) hunters to setup a defensive grid between the meteorite and the rest of Varmint Valley. Get ready to embark on a lycan-slaying, mutant-hunting endeavour, hunters!
  
−
====Capture the Sandmouse Adventure====
+
There's a new adventure available that starts with obtaining the Fort Rox Battle Summons from the Claw Shot City Cartographer. Head there with some Fool's Gold to get started!
−
The adventure to capture the Sandmouse will have you handing out treats to friends, navigating a Haunted Dream and Terrible Nightmare, capturing the Sandmouse, and then collecting Halloween Treats from mice throughout the Kingdom!
 
  
−
'''Prepare to Trick-or-Treat'''<br/>
+
====Building Your First Wall====
−
Prepare a candy dish on your hunter profile and choose whether to hand out Ghoulgonzola or Candy Corn cheese to your friends. You can visit your friends' profiles to collect these tasty treats!
+
The first line of defense you'll build is a basic wall made of sturdy Meteorite Pieces. Fortunately, the mice in Fort Rox seem to be adept at mining and have been spotted carrying massive quantities of Meteorite Pieces around the area. Setup your trap with a Law power type weapon and Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ to start hunting these meteorite-dropping mice!
  
−
'''Collect Some Spooky Cheese'''<br/>
+
Keep an eye out for the Mining Materials Manager Mouse -- this mouse drops the most Meteorite Pieces of all! You'll encounter this mouse most often by using SUPER|brie+.
−
You can collect Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese by either hunting at the Spooky Sandcastle with any "standard bait" (Swiss, Gouda, SUPER|brie+, etc.) or by visiting your friends' hunter profiles.
 
  
−
If you are collecting Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese at the Spooky Sandcastle, the Hollowhead and Dire Lycan mice drop these cheeses most often. You'll attract these mice a little more often when using SUPER|brie+.
+
You can push your meteroite gathering to the extreme by building a Mage Tower at Fort Rox. The tower can be activated by burning Tower Mana each hunt to DOUBLE all your Meteorite Piece loot drops!
  
−
'''Besiege the Spooky Sandcastle'''<br/>
+
*'''75 SUPER|brie+'''
−
One you have a supply of Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese, you can navigate the castle through a Haunted Dream and Terrible Nightmare phase. Use Candy Corn to "treat" mice and Ghoulgonzola to "trick" mice. You'll need to treat and trick a number of mice to move through each phase.
+
:Attracts better mice!
 +
*'''50 Tower Mana'''
 +
:Doubles loot drops!
  
−
'''Defeat the Pumpkin Dream Guardians'''<br/>
+
====Hunting at Night====
−
The final mice you'll encounter while trick-or-treating in the Spooky Sandcastle the Trick and Treat mice. You'll need to defeat these two guardians before you can encounter the Sandmouse.
+
Once your defenses are prepared, click the "Defend Fort" button on the HUD to indicate you're prepared for the coming night. When night falls, the relatively normal mice change from mild-mannered miners to enraged Weremice!
  
−
'''Capture the King of the Castle'''<br/>
+
Each hunt you take during night will bring you closer to dawn. When night first falls, you'll encounter Weremice that are weak to Shadow traps, however, as dawn approaches, more Cosmic Critter mice will appear that are primarily week to Arcane traps. The Fort Fox HUD will help you spot when it's time to change your setup.
−
Once the Trick and Treat mice have been captured, the Sandmouse will be on the loose, no doubt looking to put an end to your meddling! Capture the Sandmouse and obtain its Magical Pillowcase to end his sinister plan and put the pillowcase to a much "sweeter" use!
 
  
−
'''Collect Some Tasty Treats'''<br/>
+
During night, it's best to use one of two lunar-themed cheeses to lure the Weremice and Cosmic Critters towards your trap and away from your wall. If you fail to attract or fail to capture a mouse, it will slip past your trap and assault your wall, causing damage.
−
With the Sandmouse defeated and the moon illusions put to rest, the entire Kingdom will transform into a candy-filled playground! Visit and capture any mice '''throughout the entire Kingdom''' to fill your newly-obtained pillowcase with Halloween Treats! The type of treats you find depend on where you go to hunt and which mice you capture.
 
  
−
Fill your Magical Pillowcase with 100 Halloween Treats and you will be able to open it and see what's inside. Do this three times to complete the sweet adventure!
+
'''Crescent Cheese'''<br/>
 +
Crescent cheese is crafted by combining three Meteorite Pieces and three Curds and Whey. It has an attraction rate slightly better than Gouda during night and will lure a few more mice that drop valuable resources and loot.
  
−
*'''100 Candy Corn Cheese'''
+
'''Moon Cheese'''<br/>
−
:Treat Sandcastle mice
+
Moon Cheese is crafted by combining one Meteorite Piece, three Curds and Whey, and two Magic Essence. It has a near-perfect attraction rate during night and will lure more mice that drop valuable resources and loot!
−
*'''100 Ghoulgonzola'''
 
−
:Trick Sandcastle mice
 
  
−
'''Limited Edition Sandcastle Shard Trap'''<br/>
+
*'''100 Moon Cheese'''
−
Completing the Capture the Sandmouse adventure rewards the Sandcastle Shard, an impressive Shadow trap with 3,000 Power and 12 Luck. The eerie magic of the Sandcastle Shard is especially in tune with the creepy Harvester Mouse in Zugzwang's Seasonal Garden. When capturing a Harvester Mouse with this trap, there's a chance that your Tower Amplifier will instantly fill!
+
:Avoid the Battering Ram Mouse!
 +
*'''250 Moon Cheese'''
 +
:Collect more loot!
  
−
====Boost Your Sandcastle Exploration====
+
'''Other Cheeses and the Battering Ram Mouse'''<br/>
−
To help light your path and find more treats each hunter has been issued a slightly spooky-looking flashlight! Turn on your Spooky Flashlight to trick or treat TWO treats with each hunt. You can also light your path to explore the Sandcastle quicker and save event cheese.
+
Lurking throughout the night is the fearsome Battering Ram Mouse. This mouse has been specially-trained by being constantly exposed to light from the moon in order to keep him in his enraged state. At night, when the moon is out, this mouse will charge headlong towards your fort, unimpeded by traps, and will always cause damage to your wall even if captured!
  
−
Each hunt you take with your flashlight on will consume a super high-quality Flashlight Battery. Batteries can occasionally be found as loot from mice at the Sandcastle. The burst of light emitted by draining an entire battery every 15 minutes can be quite intense -- make sure to never look directly into the light blast!
+
However, if you use Crescent or Moon Cheese, the presence of two sources of moonlight will confuse this mouse and send him into a blind, uncontrollable rage, causing him to flee from the battlefield altogether, screaming incoherently.
  
−
While hunting you may also find Shortcut Charms as loot from mice at the Sandcastle. Arming these charms will also trick or treat +1 mice each hunt. With a Shortcut Charm armed and your Flashlight on, you'll trick or treat THREE mice each hunt and fly through the Spooky Sandcastle to the Sandmouse in no time!
+
====Upgrading your Fort====
 +
*'''Wall'''
 +
:Upgrading your wall will increase its health, allowing your wall to withstand more damage during night!
  
−
*'''15 Flashlight Batteries'''
+
*'''Moat'''
−
:+1 progress each hunt
+
:The moat will reduce the damage your wall takes when failing to capture or failing to attract a mouse.
−
*'''15 Shortcut Charms'''
 
−
:+1 progress each hunt
 
  
−
====Filling your Pillowcase====
+
*'''Ballista'''
−
Once you have a pillowcase, you can visit and capture mice anywhere in the entire Kingdom to collect Halloween Treats! Each mouse you visit will put a treat into your pillowcase, with some mice handing out Sweet Halloween Treats! Sweet treats might be a handful of small goodies or occasionally something much more special!
+
:The Ballista specifically targets Weremice, Shadow type mice found in the early parts of the night. As you upgrade the Ballista, it will gain more specialized abilities to help capture Weremice.
  
−
'''Sugar Rush Aura'''<br/>
+
*'''Cannon'''
−
Fill your pillowcase with 100 treats and open it to obtain the Sugar Rush Aura for two days! While the aura is active, all mice have a chance to drop Spooky Shuffle Tickets and Candy Charms.
+
:The Cannon specifically targets Cosmic Critters, Arcane type mice that are found as you get closer to dawn. As you upgrade your Cannon, it will gain more specialized abilities to help survive the night and make it to dawn.
  
−
With the Sugar Rush Aura active, your trap will also receive a sweet 10% Power Bonus to help you capture more mice! The aura will also dramatically boost the strength of Candy Charms, adding an additional 600 Power, 5 Luck, 5% Attraction Bonus and 5% Power Bonus! SWEET!
+
*'''Mage Tower'''
 +
The Mage Tower is an especially powerful upgrade that has a variety of effects that work both during day and night! The Mage Tower is activated by clicking a button on the HUD. While active, the tower burns 1 Tower Mana each hunt and will cast a variety of spells to boost your hunting!
  
−
If you open a pillowcase again before the aura expires, the aura's time will be extended! Keep opening pillowcases as quickly as you can to stretch your aura time out. The aura will continue to work even after Halloween ends, so open up as many pillowcases as you can to keep that sweet Sugar Rush going!
+
As you upgrade and enchant your Mage Tower, it will double certain loot drops, instantly capture mice, heal your wall, and even speed up the night!
  
−
*'''100 Candy Charms'''
+
*'''50 Tower Mana'''
−
:Great with Sugar Rush!
+
:Double loot drops!
 +
*'''150 Tower Mana'''
 +
:Domination!
  
−
'''Spooky Shuffle Tickets'''<br/>
+
====Surviving until Dawn====
−
Each time you open your pillowcase with 100+ treats you'll find 2 Spooky Shuffle Tickets, and mice also have a chance of dropping a ticket while the Sugar Rush Aura is active. You'll also be given tickets each day in your Daily Loyalty Chest.
+
Once you've upgraded your fort, your defenses should be able to hold back the mice and allow your wall to remain standing when dawn arrives. The rising light summons two more big, bad mice to assault the fort in an epic final showdown: The Dawn Guardian and the Monster of the Meteor.
  
−
This year, the Spooky Shuffle board has been upgraded! You'll find some event-related treats, however, you'll also find prizes depending on your Hunter's Title that are different each time you play a board. You'll find a variety of prizes including different types of cheese and other area resources.
+
During dawn, your wall will still take normal damage when failing to capture these mice. However, each time you defeat the Monster of the Meteor, it will enrage him and his company of guards, causing them all to inflict more damage should you fail to capture them.
  
−
*'''Spooky Shuffle Pack'''
+
The Monster of the Meteor has a chance to drop the most valuable loot found during night -- Silver Bolts and an Animatronic Bird! These strange items can be exchanged at the Fort Rox Trapsmith for a powerful Shadow and Arcane trap, respectively. You can also sell these items on the Marketplace or sell Silver Bolts directly to the General Store for gold.

Defend Varmint Valley at Fort Rox

3 November 2016

A meteor has crashed into Varmint Valley, transforming the mice!

Fort Rox Defensive Position

The eerily glowing moon signals atop the Spooky Sandcastle have pulled a massive meteor towards Gnawnia! The otherworldly chunk of rock has crashed into Varmint Valley, just south of the Gnawnian Express Station.

The cosmic radiation from the glowing chunk of space rock has had a profound effect on the local mice -- they're transforming into powerful weremice at night! The King needs the help of Baron/Baroness (and up) hunters to setup a defensive grid between the meteorite and the rest of Varmint Valley. Get ready to embark on a lycan-slaying, mutant-hunting endeavour, hunters!

There's a new adventure available that starts with obtaining the Fort Rox Battle Summons from the Claw Shot City Cartographer. Head there with some Fool's Gold to get started!

Building Your First Wall

The first line of defense you'll build is a basic wall made of sturdy Meteorite Pieces. Fortunately, the mice in Fort Rox seem to be adept at mining and have been spotted carrying massive quantities of Meteorite Pieces around the area. Setup your trap with a Law power type weapon and Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ to start hunting these meteorite-dropping mice!

Keep an eye out for the Mining Materials Manager Mouse -- this mouse drops the most Meteorite Pieces of all! You'll encounter this mouse most often by using SUPER|brie+.

You can push your meteroite gathering to the extreme by building a Mage Tower at Fort Rox. The tower can be activated by burning Tower Mana each hunt to DOUBLE all your Meteorite Piece loot drops!

  • 75 SUPER|brie+
Attracts better mice!
  • 50 Tower Mana
Doubles loot drops!

Hunting at Night

Once your defenses are prepared, click the "Defend Fort" button on the HUD to indicate you're prepared for the coming night. When night falls, the relatively normal mice change from mild-mannered miners to enraged Weremice!

Each hunt you take during night will bring you closer to dawn. When night first falls, you'll encounter Weremice that are weak to Shadow traps, however, as dawn approaches, more Cosmic Critter mice will appear that are primarily week to Arcane traps. The Fort Fox HUD will help you spot when it's time to change your setup.

During night, it's best to use one of two lunar-themed cheeses to lure the Weremice and Cosmic Critters towards your trap and away from your wall. If you fail to attract or fail to capture a mouse, it will slip past your trap and assault your wall, causing damage.

Crescent Cheese
Crescent cheese is crafted by combining three Meteorite Pieces and three Curds and Whey. It has an attraction rate slightly better than Gouda during night and will lure a few more mice that drop valuable resources and loot.

Moon Cheese
Moon Cheese is crafted by combining one Meteorite Piece, three Curds and Whey, and two Magic Essence. It has a near-perfect attraction rate during night and will lure more mice that drop valuable resources and loot!

  • 100 Moon Cheese
Avoid the Battering Ram Mouse!
  • 250 Moon Cheese
Collect more loot!

Other Cheeses and the Battering Ram Mouse
Lurking throughout the night is the fearsome Battering Ram Mouse. This mouse has been specially-trained by being constantly exposed to light from the moon in order to keep him in his enraged state. At night, when the moon is out, this mouse will charge headlong towards your fort, unimpeded by traps, and will always cause damage to your wall even if captured!

However, if you use Crescent or Moon Cheese, the presence of two sources of moonlight will confuse this mouse and send him into a blind, uncontrollable rage, causing him to flee from the battlefield altogether, screaming incoherently.

Upgrading your Fort

  • Wall
Upgrading your wall will increase its health, allowing your wall to withstand more damage during night!
  • Moat
The moat will reduce the damage your wall takes when failing to capture or failing to attract a mouse.
  • Ballista
The Ballista specifically targets Weremice, Shadow type mice found in the early parts of the night. As you upgrade the Ballista, it will gain more specialized abilities to help capture Weremice.
  • Cannon
The Cannon specifically targets Cosmic Critters, Arcane type mice that are found as you get closer to dawn. As you upgrade your Cannon, it will gain more specialized abilities to help survive the night and make it to dawn.
  • Mage Tower

The Mage Tower is an especially powerful upgrade that has a variety of effects that work both during day and night! The Mage Tower is activated by clicking a button on the HUD. While active, the tower burns 1 Tower Mana each hunt and will cast a variety of spells to boost your hunting!

As you upgrade and enchant your Mage Tower, it will double certain loot drops, instantly capture mice, heal your wall, and even speed up the night!

  • 50 Tower Mana
Double loot drops!
  • 150 Tower Mana
Domination!

Surviving until Dawn

Once you've upgraded your fort, your defenses should be able to hold back the mice and allow your wall to remain standing when dawn arrives. The rising light summons two more big, bad mice to assault the fort in an epic final showdown: The Dawn Guardian and the Monster of the Meteor.

During dawn, your wall will still take normal damage when failing to capture these mice. However, each time you defeat the Monster of the Meteor, it will enrage him and his company of guards, causing them all to inflict more damage should you fail to capture them.

The Monster of the Meteor has a chance to drop the most valuable loot found during night -- Silver Bolts and an Animatronic Bird! These strange items can be exchanged at the Fort Rox Trapsmith for a powerful Shadow and Arcane trap, respectively. You can also sell these items on the Marketplace or sell Silver Bolts directly to the General Store for gold.

How long will your defenses hold out?

10 of these special-tipped bolts are used to assemble the Interdimensional Crossbow Trap and can be purchased with Dawn Dust collected during dawn. You may also find this item as a loot drop during dawn, in which case the General Store will gladly purchase any extras you have, if you don't want to sell them to other hunters on the Marketplace that is.

Animatronic Bird
This intelligent bird is used to assemble the Droid Archmagus Trap and can be purchased with Dawn Dust collected during dawn. The bird can also be sold to other hunters on the Marketplace.

Meteorite Pieces
You can exchange excess Howlite at the General Store in return for two Meteorite Pieces each. If you've proven yourself as a capable defender by earning a Train Badge, the General Store owner will give you a better exchange rate, offering three Meteorite Pieces per Howlite!

Tower Mana
You can purchase Tower Mana with your excess Bloodstone and Howlite from the General Store at a rate of two Bloodstone and one Howlite for one Tower Mana. If you've proven yourself as an especially capable defender by earning three Train Badges, the General Store owner will give you a better exchange rate, offering two Tower Mana for three Bloodstone.
