====Loot Filled Ghostships Threaten the Kingdom====
+
====Love is in the Air!====
The cooler weather and spooky season has brought with it the return of ghostships sailing above the Kingdom! This year, however, the fleet is led by a scoundrel known as Admiral Arrrgh.
 
  
The ethereal ships cannot be harmed by conventional means. In order to inflict enough damage to ground the ship and loot its hold for treasure, you'll need to first visit one of several haunted locations throughout the Kingdom to collect Ghastly Galleon Gouda which will in turn attract Halloween mice that drop Ethereal Cannonballs to fire at the ships!
+
All throughout Gnawnia, hunters and mice alike are cozying up to one another and even Larry has been seen carving a heart into the Great Gnarled Tree.
  
There are ghostships flying above several regions in the Kingdom. Once you have your hands on some cannonballs, you can fire them from your Camp to inflict damage on the ghostships equal to the point value of the mice you capture. Do enough damage to bring down the ship and loot its hold!
+
The outburst of affection has caused some mice to pair off, possibly explaining the near endless population of mice. During this outburst of affection, you may find yourself catching two mice at the same time!
  
====Inflicting Double Damage with Ghostfire Cannonballs====
+
While hunting anywhere in the Kingdom, you can encounter a mouse that has paired off with a Valentine's Event Mouse. Should this occur, you'll capture '''both mice with a single piece of cheese!''' Keep an eye on your Hunter's Journal for an especially lovely looking entry when this occurs.
With the appearance of Admiral Arrrgh has also come a new high-powered type of cannonball. Collect Ghostfire Cannonballs by hunting either Admiral Arrrgh or Captain Cannonball using Lockbox Limburger Cheese, which you'll find when looting any ghostship.
 
  
Arm your cannon with Ghostfire Cannonballs to inflict DOUBLE damage against any ghostship! These cannonballs can be a bit scarce, so make each shot count by capturing high-point value mice!
+
====Lovely Loot Opportunities====
  
====Ghoulishly Good Rewards====
+
When capturing a Valentine's Event Mouse that has coupled off with another, you'll find a variety of attractive loot items including Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, Ultimate Luck Charms, collectibles, and more!
Shooting down a ghostship will have it crash into the ground, allowing you to loot its cargo hold for valuable treasure! You'll find different treasure in each ghostship depending on which region the ship is located in.
 
  
Each ship you shoot down will also contain a few pieces of Lockbox Limburger Cheese, which will attract Admiral Arrrgh, Captain Cannonball, and other fearsome (and rewarding) Halloween mice.
+
====Attractive Treasure Maps====
  
Looking to boost your fire power? Visit friends' profiles to collect new Pointy Charms as treats! While armed, Pointy Charms will boost the point reward of mice by 10%, up to a maximum of 10,000 additional points. This point boost is taken into account while firing at ghostships, meaning you'll do 10% more damage!
+
Visit any Cartographer throughout the Kingdom to pick up a Valentine's Matchmaker Scroll Case to search out treasure hidden by the Valentine's event mice!
  
Throughout the event you'll also find familiar Spooky Charms. However, their stats and effect have been altered by the arrival of Admiral Arrrgh. Spooky Charms now have slightly better stats, especially when paired with any Halloween trap. All Spooky Charms also have a chance to transform into a spookier version with each hunt. With a little ghostly luck, you may even find Ultimate Spooky Charms with an impressive +20 Luck!
+
Completing the map will reveal the location of a Valentine's Matchmaker Treasure Chest containing Points, Gold, Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, and Ancient Charms. With some luck you may also found one of eight unique tradable trap skins!
  
====Spooky Aura====
+
With Valentine's mice encountered '''anywhere''' in the Kingdom, these maps are a great opportunity to work on maps with friends of any hunter title, rank, or experience level!
Defeating a ghostship grants the Spooky Aura, which provides bonus loot and a 30% Power Bonus to your trap!

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, 2018.

The zombies in the Mousoleum have become even more ravenous, now requiring a barricade to be built to hold them at bay and allow hunters to hunt the more lucractive vampire breeds using a new craftable Crimson Cheese.
 
 
 
The previous adventures "Find a Way Out of the Laboratory" and "Survive the Mousoleum" have been both replaced with "Slay Mousevina von Vermin". Any hunters who already completed the Survive the Mousoleum adventure have automatically been granted completion of the adventure to Slay Mousevina von Vermin.
 
 
 
Finally, several adventures have had the amount of title progression they reward upon completion boosted. We are currently in the process of rewarding hunters who have already completed these affected adventures with the additional title progression, meaning you may see your title increase slightly as we reward you with this additional progression.
 
 
 
If you're curious to check out the new challenges in the Laboratory and Mousoleum but are also eager to take aim at Halloween Ghostships, fear not! A ghostship has appeared in the Burroughs region.

Valentine's Matchmaking

11 February 2020

Catch two mice with one hunt!

Love is in the Air!

All throughout Gnawnia, hunters and mice alike are cozying up to one another and even Larry has been seen carving a heart into the Great Gnarled Tree.

The outburst of affection has caused some mice to pair off, possibly explaining the near endless population of mice. During this outburst of affection, you may find yourself catching two mice at the same time!

While hunting anywhere in the Kingdom, you can encounter a mouse that has paired off with a Valentine's Event Mouse. Should this occur, you'll capture both mice with a single piece of cheese! Keep an eye on your Hunter's Journal for an especially lovely looking entry when this occurs.

Lovely Loot Opportunities

When capturing a Valentine's Event Mouse that has coupled off with another, you'll find a variety of attractive loot items including Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, Ultimate Luck Charms, collectibles, and more!

Attractive Treasure Maps

Visit any Cartographer throughout the Kingdom to pick up a Valentine's Matchmaker Scroll Case to search out treasure hidden by the Valentine's event mice!

Completing the map will reveal the location of a Valentine's Matchmaker Treasure Chest containing Points, Gold, Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, and Ancient Charms. With some luck you may also found one of eight unique tradable trap skins!

With Valentine's mice encountered anywhere in the Kingdom, these maps are a great opportunity to work on maps with friends of any hunter title, rank, or experience level!

Sweet Gift Boxes and More

The King has put together a few appropriate gifts to show affection to friendly hunters, or a sweet treat for yourself!

  • <3 Gift Basket
