The Unfilled Spring Egg Carton has been retired and can no longer be filled with eggs. Due to this, we have temporarily frozen trade for it on the Marketplace. It can now be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer for 150 SB+.
 
 
 
In addition to the Spring Hunt release, we have also done some quality of life updates to sending supplies. You are now able to send and receive supplies to and from all hunters, regardless of friend status! There is a new setting in the Game Settings tab of the User Preferences page that will allow you to receive supplies from anyone. By default, this setting is disabled.
 
 
 
You may also notice some changes to how your "Special" inventory is organized. Some older event currencies and equipment have been moved to a new "Vintage" section, and others may have been shuffled around to more accurately organize your inventory.

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.
