A particularly massive eruption from the Queso Geyser has filled the Kingdom with a light mist of delicious queso, causing mice everywhere to occasionally drop a new type of Spring Hunt Egg: The Dragonshard Egg.
+
====Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon====
  
Dragonshard Eggs can be looted anywhere throughout the Kingdom by hunters with the rank of Initiate of above. More difficult to catch mice drop the egg a bit more often.
+
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.
  
Each Dragonshard Egg contains some modest Queso Canyon hunting supplies along with a valuable piece of its shell called a Dragonshard. These exotic fragments are sought after by a variety of tradespeople and can be exchanged at any General Store, Charm Shoppe, or Cartographer for various rewards.
+
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.

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!
  
After the survey is fully completed, the model will be available for a substantial gold and Nachore cost from the Cartographers of Queso Canyon, so get it now while you can on the cheap!

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.
