An eerie glow has cast itself across the lands of Gnawnia...

The winter [[Advent Calendar|advent calendar]] is coming in December!

<blockquote>
====Bad Ship Rising...====
 
Our old friend Carl is back and he's really getting into the spooky spirit of things! Instead of touring Gnawnia on a cozy cruiseship, he's built a bunch of creepy, floating ghostships...? What a creepy guy! He's also sporting a rather convincing costume!
 
  
The ghostships have all picked a region in Gnawnia to haunt, spilling ghastly, ghoulish mice into otherwise ghost-free environs. Hunters will have to visit their favourite hunting location and help ground these ghostships!
+
====Tasty Chocolate Treats====
  
Hey Carl... You, uh, doing okay there, buddy?
+
From December 1 to December 24, hunters can open a door on their [[Advent Calendar]] for a tasty [[Advent Chocolate]]! If you open the door on the same day it unlocks, you'll also find a bonus item as a reward!
  
====Bring Down the Ghostships====
+
If your [[Advent Calendar]] has a door waiting to be opened, a special banner will appear above your [[Hunter's Journal]] to remind you. You can also access the [[Advent Calendar]] by clicking the link in the navigation bar at the very top of the game.
Several regions across Gnawnia have cursed ghostships disrupting the local mouse populations with spooky mice! Some locations are a bit different than the rest... These "haunted" locations seem to be the focal points for these visiting ghostships, and mice of an undead and otherwordly nature are invading these areas.
 
  
*When hunting in a "haunted" location with cheese you'd normally use in that area, mice will drop '''Ghastly Galleon Gouda''', which attracts the spooky mice of Halloween!
 
*Some of these mice carry '''Ethereal Cannonballs''', which hold the key to bringing down the ghostships.
 
*Defeated ghostships drop '''Lockbox Limburger''', an attractive cheese to high-ranked undead pirates!
 
  
When hunters have gathered Ethereal Cannonballs, they can hurl them at the floating ghostships in their region to slowly bring them down! Hunters can fire cannonballs at ghostships from any location where a ghostship is present.
+
====[[Advent Chocolate]]====
 +
These tasty chocolates are found behind each door in your [[Advent Calendar]]. Once the [[Great Winter Hunt]] arrives, you'll be able to trade these tasty treats in for a variety of trap [[skin]]s. There will be a number of [[skin]]s to choose from, so pick wisely!
  
When your cannon is armed with an Ethereal Cannonball, catching a mouse will damage the ghostship by the same number of points of the captured mouse! The more valued the mouse, the more damage your cannon deals. The ghostship they affect is based on the location from which hunters attack.
 
  
For example, the Furoma Ghostship can be attacked from the Training Grounds, Dojo, Meditation Room, or Pinnacle Chamber. In that particular region, only the Dojo itself is "haunted". This means that Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be found in that area, but cannonballs can be fired from any other location to bring down the regional ghostship.
+
====Daily Bonus Rewards====
 +
If you open a door on your [[Advent Calendar]] on the same day that it becomes available, you'll find a special bonus reward! These items are different from previous years' rewards and cover a wide variety of items and uses! Make sure to check back and open a door every day!
  
''Remember that you can fire Ethereal Cannonballs from any location where a ghostship resides! However, Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be collected within the Haunted Ghostship Locations in these regions, listed below. Savvy hunters will save their cannonballs and hunt mice in the location worth the highest points, like the Master of the Dojo in the Furoma region, to bring down the ghostships even faster!''
 
  
====Ghostship Rewards====
+
====Upcoming====
When a ghostship is defeated, it’ll crash to the ground and explode into loot! Cover your eyes: Splintered Wood is sharp!
+
Can you feel that chill in the air? That's the [[Great Winter Hunt]] approaching! Get in the festive spirit by opening your [[Advent Calendar]] every day and keep watching this space for an announcement when the [[Great Winter Hunt]] has begun!
 
 
The rewards provided are based on the region in which the ghostship was defeated. Expect to find gold, some basic and specialty baits, charms, and even items to help you in environments found within the region. You might find token packs for Furoma, Living Garden Essences, crafting items for Hollow Heights, and more!
 
 
 
In addition to regional loot rewards, hunters will find some Spooky Shuffle Tickets and Lockbox Limburger Cheese, used for hunting down the mysterious Captain Cannonball!
 
 
 
====Spooky Aura====
 
Defeating a ghostship grants the Spooky Aura, which provides bonus loot and a 30% Power Bonus to your trap!
 
 
 
When the aura is active, hunters will receive...
 
*30% Power Bonus
 
*Chance to find Wealth Charms
 
*Chance to find Cursed Gold
 
 
 
The amount of time the aura will remain active depends on the regional ghostship that was defeated. Each time you defeat a ghostship, the aura will be extended. It cannot be extended beyond December 1, 2017.
 
 
 
====Capture Captain Cannonball====
 
The dreaded pirate Captain Cannonball is said to be behind this ghostly incursion! Though, at this point, we also wonder how much of an influence Carl might have been... The King might have to have a word with him!
 
 
 
Use Lockbox Limburger Cheese found by defeating ghostships in one of the "haunted" locations to attract this mouse and bring an end to his spine-chilling reign. Capturing this mouse will complete this year's Halloween adventure, earning hunters a new Limited Edition trap and a new spooky journal theme!
 
 
 
====Halloween Haunted Shipwreck Trap====
 
A sunken ghostship wrested from the command of Captain Cannonball, it has been salvaged and repurposed by paranormal trapologists to function as a high-powered Hydro trap.
 
 
 
Hunting with this trap in the Sunken City will help you find extra loot when exploring Haunted Shipwrecks.
 
 
 
'''This limited edition trap can be earned by completing this year's Halloween adventure!'''
 
 
 
====Haunted Ghostship Locations====
