====Explore Queso Geyser====
+
====Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon====
The King's Royal Geologists have completed their survey of Queso Geyser, allowing hunters with the Queso Geyser Replica Clay Model to access the geyser as a new hunting location!
 
  
The frequent eruptions of molten queso have attracted all sorts of powerful Draconic mice to the area! Working with Larry, the King's Geologists have devised a plan for luring these high-flying beasts towards a trap. Three words: Massive. Geyser. Corks.
+
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.
  
Collect Cork Bark held by various mice native to the geyser to construct an impressively-sized cork to stick in the geyser. Then, defend your newly constructed cork from mice to allow the pressure to build to massive levels and trigger impressive eruptions of liquid cheese.
+
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.
  
Once an eruption occurs, powerful breeds of Draconic mice will swoop down from the sky towards the airborne queso and come within range of your trap. The constant flow of molten cheese will make collecting loot too dangerous, however, each item a dragon drops will go into a nest that you can safely loot once the eruption subsides.
+
====Kegs of Bland Queso====
  
Some members of the King's Royal Council have expressed concern over the idea of constructing enormous corks to temporarily seal the geyser and build cheesy pressure in an already unstable section of ground, but the geologists have assured us that it's *perfectly* safe...
+
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!
  
====Types of Geyser Corks====
+
'''Small'''<br>
There are four different varieties of cork you can construct to withstand different levels of pressure and, as a result, trigger differently-sized queso eruptions. The larger the eruption, the larger (and more lucrative) Draconic mice you'll attract!
+
250 Bland Queso
  
Using spicier flavours of queso cheese will attract more powerful dragons that drop more cork, increase pressure more, and are more lucrative to hunt. With a little experimentation, you will find which flavour of queso works best for each circumstance.
+
'''Medium'''<br>
 +
500 Bland Queso
  
'''Small Cork'''<br>
+
'''Large'''<br>
Made from Cork Bark<br>
+
1,500 Bland Queso
Collect Cork Bark in the area to construct this lightwight cork capable of withstanding a pressure of 35 kPA to trigger a small eruption.
 
  
'''Medium Cork'''<br>
+
*'''150 Wild Tonic'''<br>
Made from Cork Bark and Rubber<br>
+
:DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!
Collect a single Congealed Rubber during a small eruption to create a medium-sized cork. These corks can withstand pressures up to 175 kPA to trigger a medium eruption.
 
  
'''Large Cork'''<br>
+
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.
Made from Cork Bark and Geyserite<br>
 
Collect a unique rock-like material called Geyserite during a medium eruption to create a large-sized cork. These corks can withstand a much greater pressure of 1,000 kPA to trigger a large eruption.
 
  
'''Epic Cork'''<br>
+
====Spice Leaf Exchange====
Made from Cork Bark and Tungsten<br>
 
Tungsten is an extremely dense material that can be collected during a large eruption to create an epic-sized cork. These corks can withstand a whopping 3,000 kPA to trigger an epic eruption!
 
  
====Looting a Dragon Nest and Rewards====
+
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!
During an eruption, the flow of molten queso makes it too dangerous to collect loot. Instead, a nest fills with loot with each capture. After each eruption subsides you can collect all the loot dropped by the various Draconic mice inside the nest and find all sorts of rewards. You'll find Bland Queso, various Spice Leaves, trap components, and other supplies!
 
  
'''Amber Queso'''<br>
+
'''Mild Spice Leaf'''<br>
Purchase Trap Parts<br>
+
6 Nachore
This valuable fossilized queso is highly sought after by the General Store owner at Queso Geyser. Collect the greatest quantities during epic eruptions by hunting the most powerful Draconic mice.

'''Kalor'ignis Rib'''<br>
+
====Blooming Spice Plants====
Research a Draconic Trap<br>
 
This mysterious item exists only as a rumor spread by the local trapsmith. The trapsmith at Queso Geyser claims this rare and powerful item could be used to create an extremely powerful and high-luck Draconic trap. However, the exact design remains a mystery.
 
  
'''Should you uncover the Kalor'ignis Rib, be sure to visit the Trapsmith where you can offer to help and begin a quest to research this mysterious Draconic trap design.'''
+
Make sure to tap open the Queso Kegs as you find them to add to your inventory of Bland Queso. Visit Big Jaq's Spice Shack where you can fertilize the Bland Queso into a Blooming Spice Plant of varying size and heat.
  
'''Magic Nest Dust'''<br>
+
'''Small Blooming Spice Plant'''<br>
Adds +5 items to each nest<br>
 
Before looting a nest, you can sprinkle this dust to magically add 5 items to the nest! Dusting a nest will add Cork Materials, Amber Queso, Bland Queso, Spice Leaves, and final random item. Dusting nests after larger eruptions will reward greater quantities of higher-tier items.
 
  
*'''1 Magic Nest Dust'''
