====Tracking Valentine's Mice====
Eight unique costumed mice have appeared in nine locations in the Kingdom! Visit one of nine "Lunar Stockpile" locations to collect Dumpling Cheese and lure the costumed and other event mice out of hiding. Use Dumpling Cheese to capture each of the eight costumed mice and confront the Costumed Rooster Mouse to find a Rooster Lunar Lantern!

Valentine's Mice have been spotted in a variety of locations throughout the Kingdom! Each Valentine's Mouse you track down will drop a King's Credit, Valentine's Charm, and bonus loot based on where you're hunting!
  
=====Lunar Stockpile Locations=====
+
Pick from one of 12 different locations and collect bonus loot drops from Valentine's Mice before they're gone!
*[[Fungal Cavern]]
 
*[[Gnawnia Rift]]
 
*[[Muridae Market]]
 
*[[Claw Shot City]]
 
*[[King's Gauntlet]]
 
*[[S.S. Huntington]]
 
*[[Dojo]]
 
*[[Great Gnarled Tree]]
 
*[[Town of Gnawnia]]
 
  
Visit any one of these nine locations to collect Dumpling Cheese as loot drops from the mice normally native to that location. Hunting with SUPER|brie+ will attract mice with more loot drops! Then, arm Dumpling Cheese in those same locations to potentially lure the Lunar New Year Event Mice to your trap.
+
====Valentine's Hunting Locations and Bonus Loot====
 +
Valentine's Mice are present in 12 different locations where you can attract them to your trap by using any "regular" type of bait such as Swiss, Brie, Gouda, and SUPER|brie+. The type of loot they drop is determined by where you capture them, so pick wisely!
  
====Light up your Lunar Lantern!====
+
*'''Town of Gnawnia'''
The various Lunar New Year mice drop Lunar Lantern Candles that you can use to illuminate your Rooster Lunar Lantern. While your lantern is lit, you'll use one candle with each hunt you take, but you'll also DOUBLE most loot dropped by mice you capture. Every 10 hunts you take with your lantern lit will also add a +1 Luck bonus to the lantern that will be active while the lantern is lit. You can earn up to +50 Luck!
+
:Basic supplies to help new hunters.
 +
*'''Harbour'''
 +
:Pinches of gold to fill your coffers.
 +
*'''Great Gnarled Tree'''
 +
:Gnarly and damp supplies.
 +
*'''Town of Digby'''
 +
:Glowing globes and pieces of bait.
 +
*'''Bazaar'''
 +
:Carefully crafted orbs of glass aplenty!
 +
*'''Training Grounds'''
 +
:Furoma supplies to lure Student and Master alike.
 +
*'''Cape Clawed'''
 +
:Wide array of isle supplies, even some rare finds!
 +
*'''Slushy Shoreline'''
 +
:Scraps of war and invasion supplies.
 +
*'''Muridae Market'''
 +
:Regroup at the market to supply against the Marching Flame!
 +
*'''Sunken City'''
 +
:Both docked and diving, collect oxygen and more!
 +
*'''Gnawnia Rift'''
 +
:Essences and calcified bits of mist.
 +
*'''Fungal Cavern'''
 +
:Fungus, Nightshade, Minerals, and more!
  
====The Lantern's loot-doubling and bonus luck effects work ANYWHERE in the Kingdom!====
+
Note: Although Valentine's Mice have been able to brace the underwater currents outside the Sunken City, they're not quite talented enough swimmers to reach all underwater zones. You won't encounter any Valentine's Mice within the following zones: Sand Dollar Sea Bar, Feeding Ground, Pearl Patch, Carnivore Cove, Sunken Treasure, Monster Trench, Oxygen Stream, Magma Flow, and Lair of the Ancient.
'''Lantern Loot Doubling'''<br/>
 
While the lantern is lit, you'll find double loot for most items dropped by mice. The magic of the lantern works for most loot drops, however, there are a few drops not affected by your lantern.
 
  
''''Items Not Doubled by Lunar Lantern''''
+
====Valentine's Treasure Maps====
*[[Dumpling Cheese]]
+
Available from Cartographers in all Valentine's location is a Valentine's Scroll Case containing a lovely map to track down each of the eight Valentine's Mice. The search for treasure leads to a Valentine's Treasure Chest containing King's Credits, Points, Gold, Ancient Charms, Valentine's Charms, Lucky Valentine's Charms, and potentially a Valentine's trap skin! Dust the map to discover a rare chest which contains substantially more charms and is guaranteed to have a trap skin inside!
*[[Lunar Lantern Candle]]s
 
*[[Treasure Map Clue]]s
 
*[[Map Piece]]s
 
*A mouse's standard gold or points
 
*Items added directly to hunters' inventories from bases, charms, auras, etc.
 
*Certain items with maximum inventory quantity restrictions
 
  
'''Lantern and Other Loot Bonuses'''<br/>
+
*'''Rare Map Dust'''
The lantern loot bonus does not stack with most other loot-increasing effects or bonus loot provided directly by charms, auras, bases, etc. For example, the Nightshade Farming Charm puts Nightshade directly into hunters' inventories and is not dropped by the mouse itself. Nightshade from the charm will not be doubled.
+
:More charms and guaranteed trap skin!
  
However, if the mouse's loot is modified by some effect, that loot will still double. For example, Rift Vacuum Charms add Calcified Rift Mist directly to a mouse's loot and will therefore be doubled. Basically, as long as the mouse is dropping it and it's not one of the items above, the lantern will double it!  
+
====Valentine's Trap Skins and Kits====
 +
Dress up your trap to impress, or, pick up a basket or box of Valentine's treats to share with someone special!
  
Additionally, if an item has a maximum inventory quantity, the lantern may not be able to double your loot drops depending on how many of that item you already own.
+
*'''15 Valentine Charms'''
 +
:25% Attraction Bonus!
 +
*'''50 Lucky Valentine Charms'''
 +
:25% Attraction, +5 Luck!
 +
*'''<3 Gift Basket'''
 +
:Great gift!
 +
*'''Lovely Valentine Bouquet'''
 +
:Boost attraction!
 +
*'''Crystal Heart Mynorca Skin'''
 +
:New this year!
 +
*'''Chocolate Covered Reaper's Perch Skin'''
 +
:Reap the sweets!
 +
*'''Chocolate Box Trap Skin'''
 +
:Life is like a box of mice
 +
*'''Labyrinth of Love Trap Skin'''
 +
:Lost in love!
 +
*'''Lovecraft Shelf Skin'''
 +
:Romance novels!
 +
*'''The Heart Stopper Skin'''
 +
:Love is the law!
  
====Lantern Luck Bonus up to +50 Luck====
+
====Valentine's Bonus Loot ends: Thursday, February 16====
Every 10 hunts you take with your lantern lit will add a +1 Luck bonus to the lantern which will be active while your lantern is lit. Your lantern can be upgraded to have a maximum of +50 Luck, meaning after you take 500 hunts with your lantern lit it will be fully upgraded!
 
  
For example: If you take 80 hunts with your lantern lit, your trap will have a +8 Luck Bonus while the lantern is lit. Your trap will only take advantage of the +8 Luck Bonus while your lantern is lit. Keep those Lunar Lantern Candles burning!
 
 
====Gift Baskets and Supply Kits====
 
 
Get the celebration started with these special supplies assembled by the King!
 
 
*'''15 Dumpling Cheese'''
 
:Attract event mice!
