It's that time of the year again! The Spring Egg Hunt is back in town!

''New Spice Leaf Exchange rates along with bonus Bland Queso and more!''
  
====Hidden Spring Hunt Eggs====
+
<blockquote>
  
Mice throughout the Kingdom are carrying special eggs containing tasty treats of bonus loot! Travel throughout the Kingdom and hunt mice in search of these hidden eggs, then crack them open to see what's inside!
+
====Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon====
  
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can purchase one from the King for 10,000 gold from the special Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. Or, you can track down the Eggscavator Mouse in areas throughout the Kingdom to find one for free.
+
The traveling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon. Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to visit her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
  
====Marshmallow Monterey Stockpiles and Spring Hunt Event Mice====
+
While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.
  
The changing of the season has attracted several event mice to certain locations. These hunting spots are home to "stockpiles" of Marshmallow Monterey -- a special cheese that will lure event mice to your trap.
+
====Kegs of Bland Queso====
  
To collect Marshmallow Monterey, visit one of the stockpile locations (listed below) and hunt as you normally would there to collect Marshmallow Monterey as loot.
+
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (Big Jaq won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself.) The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose double the kegs when mice drop them!

Once you've obtained some Marshmallow Monterey, you can use it in any stockpile location to attract Spring Egg Hunt event mice! These mice can drop 10 especially valuable eggs that each hunter can loot only once. Event mice also drop special charms to boost the power of your Eggscavator!

====Eggscavator Charge Charms and Eggstra Charms====
+
These Kegs of Queso can be collected anywhere in the region, including Queso Geyser! The kegs are fortunately heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safetly float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.
  
You can obtain special charms to boost your Eggscavator by exchanging Marshmallow Monterey at the Charm Shoppe in any Stockpile location, or you can hunt for event mice in those locations to obtain charms as loot drops. Charging up your Eggscavator will allow you to find special Charge Eggs and using Eggstra Charms will double your egg drops! These special charms can also be purchased in the Premium Store.

+
Big Jaq offers a Spice Leaf Exchange allowing you to trade Nachore or various types of Spice Leaves for a higher tier of spice. She's adjusted her exchange rates from her last visit so make sure to check out what she has to offer!
Capturing a mouse with this charm armed will add a charge to your Eggscavator. You'll lose a charge each hunt taken without a charge charm equipped. Depending on the charge level of your Eggscavator, you'll find Low, Medium, and High Charge Eggs that contain Spring Hunt loot!
 
  
=====Eggstra Charm=====

'''Mild Spice Leaf'''<br>
The Eggstra Charm will double the quantity of any eggs found while hunting! The charm is only consumed when you find an egg.
