<blockquote>
  
====Visit Sweltering Queso Canyon====
+
====Ronza's Traveling Shoppe Open for a Limited Time!====
The King's Royal Explorers have returned from their exploratory expedition to Queso Canyon with detailed information about where to hunters can setup their camp sites. Hunters who have obtained the Queso Dowsing Rod from the Fort Rox Cartographer can now travel to this new region where there are three new areas to explore!
+
Ronza visits far and distant lands looking for new hunting equipment to bring to the Kingdom of Gnawnia. After a lengthy journey, Ronza has finally returned with a wide array of equipment for sale! Her schedule is a busy one, and she never stays for long, so make sure to visit her shop and browse her wares!
  
The areas in the region require the hunter rank of Count/Countess or higher to enter and the explorers recommend first setting up camp at the Queso River. The river contains a special pump, however, the mice there are relentlessly attacking it. You'll need to '''attract''' a mouse away from the pump '''and catch it''' to secure the delicious Bland Queso from the river!
+
Pay special attention to which of Ronza's wares are '''Limited Edition'''. Anything marked as Limited Edition is in short supply and will not ever return to the Kingdom!
  
*'''Queso River'''
+
====New items at Ronza's Trapsmith====
:Use a specialized pump to extract Bland Queso from the river.
+
'''Denture Base'''<br>
 +
This base harnesses the thunderous storm energy that resides within Ful'Mina's incredible teeth! Although its initial stats may appear meagre, when powered by fragments of Ful'Mina's Teeth this base rises to a level of prowess never before seen in Gnawnia!
  
*'''Prickly Plains'''
+
To empower the base, smash a Ful'Mina's Tooth to receive 15 Ful'mina's Charged Toothlets. While you have any Toothlets in your inventory the stats of your Denture Base be dramatically boosted to:
:Harvest spicy leaves to flavour your Bland Queso and blend new varieties.
 
  
*'''Cantera Quarry'''
+
'''1,500 Power, 20 Luck, 25% Power Bonus, and 25% Attraction Bonus!'''
:Mine for a slightly salty metal known as Nachore to upgrade your Queso Pump.
 
  
====Blending Flavourful Queso====
+
However, with great power there comes a cost: Each time you successfully capture a mouse there's a 50% chance that one of your Charged Toothlets will succumb to the sweet release of lightning, causing the Toothlet to decay into dust.
Explore all that Queso Canyon has to offer to discover six unique varieties of queso. The pump at the Queso River will extract Bland Queso from the flowing river with each successful hunt which you can use to then hunt at both the Prickly Plains and Cantera Quarry.
 
  
Hunt at the Prickly Plains for Spice Leaves which you can then blend with Bland Queso to create Mild, Medium, Hot, or even Flamin' Queso! The spicier your queso, the more powerful (and lucrative) mice you'll encounter.
+
'''Chrome Storm Wrought Ballista''' (Upgrade for the Storm Wrought Ballista)<br>
 +
Ronza's General Store stocks a kit capable of upgrading the Storm Wrought Ballsita trap to harness the lucky shine of chrome! Smash your Storm Wrought Ballista and combine it with an upgrade kit for a Draconic trap with 6,200 Power and 20 Luck!
  
Hunt at the Cantera Quarry to collect the valuable Nachore resource, which you can use to upgrade your pump. Higher level pumps will extract more queso at the river, boosting your production capabilities!
+
'''Well of Wisdom''' (Limited Edition)<br>
 +
A clever tactical trap that focuses on attraction by luring mice toward a bottomless pit with the sweet scent of cheese. The Well of Wisdom has 4,000 Power, 22 Luck, and a 25% Attraction Bonus.
  
====Boost Your Collection Capabilities====
+
'''Paradise Falls''' (Limited Edition)<br>
Made from a secret source of wild desert flowers, Wild Tonic is a big ol' bottle of YEE-HAW! Its magical properties carry all sorts of benefits for hunters in the region. At the Queso River, Wild Tonic will aide your pump, DOUBLING the quantity of queso extracted. In the Prickly Plains, Wild Tonic will fertilize the soil to DOUBLE the quantity of spices dropped by mice. At the Cantera Quarry, Wild Tonic will violently erupt, blasting through the rock, DOUBLING the quantity of Nachore.
+
What at first looks like a tranquil place to enjoy a quick bite of cheese quickly turns into a permanent underwater residence for mice. The beautiful landscape focuses on attracting mice. This capable Hydro trap has 4,000 Power, 22 Luck, and a 25% Attraction Bonus.
  
The pump at Queso River can also be doubled in efficiency by utilizing Queso Pump Charms. These trinkets of technology will operate your pump for you each time you capture a mouse ANYWHERE in the Kingdom (except magical locales like The Rift and related areas). The additional pump operation will not be affected by any bonuses such as Wild Tonic, but if you use them in the river your pump will effectively operate TWICE per capture.
+
'''Tribal Law Trap Skin'''<br>
 +
Dress up your Judge Droid Trap with some jungle flair! A council of Tribal droids await to deliver Tribal punishment to any who fall before the court.
  
*'''50 Wild Tonic'''
+
'''Phantom Hot Springs Trap Skin'''<br>
:Doubles loot drops!
+
Make your Phantasmic Oasis Trap stand out from the crowd by adding some lush greenery amongst the powerful hydro phantoms!
*'''25 Queso Pump Charms'''
 
:Collect queso anywhere!
 
  
====Blazin' Hot Rewards and Equipment====
+
'''Icefire Turbo Turbine Trap Skin'''<br>
The shoppes in Queso Canyon are stocked with a wide variety of equipment and items that you'll find useful both during and after your adventure there!
+
Turn the most powerful and lucky shadow trap, the Temporal Turbine into something even cooler with an icy-hot trap skin!
  
'''Overgrown Ember Stone Base'''<br>
+
====New items at Ronza's Charm Shoppe====
450 Power, +12 Luck, Boosts Bland Queso Production<br>
+
'''Super Lantern Oil Charm'''<br>
A bed of Ember Stone with a vine of wild Ember Root thriving within it. This base has impressive power and luck and will increase queso production when armed at Queso River by 50%!
+
During Ronza's visit you can visit her shop to have her upgrade Lantern Oil Charms into a super version capable of adding +2 clues while navigating the Labyrinth.
  
'''Scarlet Ember Root Trap'''<br>
+
'''Super Dragonbane Charm'''<br>
6,000 Forgotten Power, +7 Luck<br>
+
Upgrade your Dragonbane Charms into a version twice as powerful! Super Dragonbane Charms provide a hidden 600% Power Bonus against all Storm Dragons as well as the Dragon Mouse.
Once believed to be long lost, this powerful tree entity can be utilized as a Forgotten trap to lure and entangle mice.
 
  
'''Blazing Ember Spear Trap'''<br>
+
'''Super Queso Pump Charm'''<br>
5,500 Draconic Power, +12 Luck<br>
+
This design improves upon the original Queso Pump Charm by harnessing a few drops of Wild Tonic. Like their counterparts, these charms will allow you to operate your Queso Pump from nearly anywhere in the Kingdom. However, they'll pump DOUBLE the quantity of Bland Queso!
A glowing hot spear pointed skyward to tame even the most agile of dragons.
 
  
'''Ember Prison Core Trap'''<br>
+
====New items at Ronza's General Store====
4,500 Law Power, +16 Luck<br>
+
'''Chrome Storm Wrought Ballista Upgrade Kit'''<br>
Absolutely unmatched by any other currently discovered Law trap, this molten hot prison maintains a temperature for mice somewhere between incarceration and incineration.
+
Upgrade your Storm Wrought Ballista to boost its power and luck! Due to the limited supply of chrome, hunters are limited to 3 upgrade kits.
  
'''Unstable Ember Gadget'''<br>
+
'''Tiki Base Blueprints'''<br>
Poke to discover what's inside!<br>
+
After a seven year hiatus, Ronza has secured another stash of Tiki Base Blueprints. These blueprints provide upgrade plans for the Tribal Base to create the Tiki Base featuring 200 Power and an impressive 18% Power Bonus. Perfect for Knightly hunters looking to take their trap setup to new heights of power.
This gadget is a critical component of the Ember Prison Core Trap, however, its unstable nature can also be exploited to discover loot! Rumour has it a charm with an unimaginable '''500% Power Bonus''' is locked inside some of these gadgets, but such a rumour can't be true... Can it?
 
  
'''Various other hunting supplies'''<br>
+
====Return of Supply Ships!====

The Cartographer at the Queso River has assembled a Queso Canyoneer Scroll Case containing a treasure map covering the three current locations within Queso Canyon.

Pick up a Scroll Case from Queso River Cartographer and embark on a hunt for 20 Treasure Map Clues with your map mates!

Rare chests also contain a larger quantity of loot, including more Wild Tonic, Queso Pump Charms, Bland Queso Cheese, a chance of containing higher tier spices, and even a rare chance of containing some "jackpot" items from the Queso River Charm Shoppe!
  
The region of Queso Canyon is located east of Varmint Valley and south of Valour. The region's landscape is defined by a river flowing with delicious liquid queso cheese! Along the shores grow desert plants with spicy leaves and just past the canyon lies an enormous quarry where a slighty-salty metal known is Nachore can be extracted.

The King's Royal Explorers are still charting the river flow to know the exact places where hunters can setup camp sites, but you can get prepared in advance by obtaining a Queso Dowsing Rod from the Cartographer at Fort Rox.
+
====Map Hunting Updates====
 +
Looking for map mates beyond your close-knit hunter's group of friends? A new user preference has been added allowing hunters to choose to receive map invitations from anyone. You can opt-in to this behaviour by clicking '''Help''' at the top-right of the game followed by '''User Preferences''' and enable "Allow map invites from anyone". Any hunter that has enabled map invites from non-friends will have a map invite button on their Hunter's Profile.
  
====Loot an Inert Dowsing Rod from the Monster of the Meteor====
+
====Queso Canyoneer Journal Theme====
Found amongst the rock and rubble surrounding the meteorite crater at Fort Rox are mysterious splintered sticks. Ignored by the Scientists of Digby at first, these sticks have been exposed to some strange dormant cosmic energy from the Fort Rox meteor. Now saturated with this space magic, it seems the true ability of these otherwise plain sticks can be activated by Dawn Dust!
+
Available at the General Store in the Queso River, Prickly Plains, and Cantera Quarry is the first scrap piece of a new Queso Canyoneer Journal Theme. Collect the second scrap by looting Queso Canyoneer Treasure Chests, and the third scrap by pursuing Queen Quesada herself!
  
Capture the Monster of the Meteor to recover one of these lost Y-shaped rods and then have the Fort Rox Cartographer imbue it with 50 Dawn Dust from your inventory to create a Queso Dowsing Rod that will magically lead you to the flowing liquid Queso River.
+
Rare Queso Canyoneer Treasure Chests are much more likely to contain the second scrap piece. The third is rather closely guarded by Queen Quesada, it may take a golden number of captures before she loosens her grip on the scrap piece.
  
Once the King's explorers have identified camp sites in Queso Canyon, any hunter with a Queso Dowsing Rod will be able to navigate their way into the cheesy canyon. The King's explorers expect to return in '''less than a week's time'''!
+
====New Friend List Management Tool====
 +
We've created a new tool to help hunters better manage large friend lists and remove multiple people from their list. To access the new tool click '''Manage Friends''' at the very bottom-left of your friend list.
  
'''Get prepared for Queso Canyon'''
+
Using the new tool, you can use checkboxes to quickly select multiple hunters after remove them as friends (after a confirmation step).
  
*Capture the Monster of the Meteor Mouse
