====Recent Maintenance and Downtime====

Today shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end the game began to experience issues including trap setups and hunt results changing. Upon the issue coming to our attention we confirmed there was an issue and decided to put the game into unscheduled maintenance due to the severity of the problem.
  
The new Relic Hunter season brings with it unique seasonal rewards, important interface improvements, and an exciting new feature!
+
The dev team got to work investigating what the cause of problem was. After some time we identified a network configuration issue isolated to a group of servers that were brought online shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end. This network issue caused connectivity problems between the web server and a data server causing the problem with trap setups not saving or changing.
  
So gather your relics, assemble your treasure hunting team, and prepare for adventure!

'''We have now removed these faulty servers which appears to have corrected the issue'''

Thanks for your patience and understanding while the team investigated the network issue at our hosting provider. Unfortunately during the period of instability hunters may have experienced strange events or side effects such as their trap setup or hunt results changing. If you experienced a major issue please contact us via support with a screenshot of the issue and description of what you experienced. We appreciate your patience as our response times may be slower due to an increased quantity of support requests.
  
====NEW Community Map Listing====
+
'''Glitchpaw Mice on the Loose'''
We're very excited to announce a brand new mapping feature: Community Map Listing!
 
  
You'll now find a new "Community" tab where you'll be able to see maps that have been "listed" by your friends, teammates, and hunters that you've marked as favourites.
+
Glitchpaw mice have been spotted on the loose! These computer-snacking, bug-causing, networking-clogging vermin can be encountered in a variety of locations throughout the Kingdom and carry bonus loot! Glitchpaws will go back into hiding on Friday, February 26.
  
Maps can be listed by the owner in the map settings. This new listing setting works in conjunction with the other invite settings so you can still choose who will be able to see your map and request invites to it.
+
These mice can be encountered in Balack's Cove, Acolyte Realm, Bazaar, Calm Clearing, Cape Clawed, Catacombs, Claw Shot City, Derr Dunes, Muridae Market, Dojo, Dracono, Elub Shore, Forbidden Grove, Gnarled Tree, Jungle of Dread, Habour, Laboratory, King's Gauntlet, Meadow, Lagoon, Meditation Room, Mousoleum, Mountain, Pinnacle Chamber, Seasonal Garden, S.S. Huntington, Town of Gnawnia, Training Grounds, Town of Digby, Windmill, King's Arms, Tournament Hall, Zugzwang's Library, Furoma Rift Training Grounds, Fort Rox, Queso Geyser (not during an eruption), outside the Valour Rift Gauntlet Tower, Floating Islands Launch Pad, Bristle Woods Rift Gearworks Chambers, Toxic Spill below Archduke level, and Moussu Picchu.
  
One minute after setting your map to listed, it will become viewable in the Community Map Listing where other hunters can see its listing and send a request to join it.
+
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
  
This new feature will make finding and joining maps quicker, easier, and all available from the in-game interface!

====Interface Improvements====
+
</blockquote>
'''Managing Invites and Requests'''
 
Managing the invites you've received and the requests you've sent is now easier and more intuitive. You'll be able to view them all in a list under the Community tab on browser and within the "Invites and Requests" tab on mobile (previously called "Treasure Map Invites"). You'll be able to accept or decline any invites and view or cancel any sent requests all in one convenient location.
 
  
'''Mobile Improvements'''
+
===[{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=530 The Lunar New Year Event Has Ended]===
We've made some mobile interface improvements that will make mapping on mobile smoother, feature-rich, and more consistent with the browser experience.
+
''{{date|23|February|2021}}''
  
These new additions to mobile include:
+
'''Thank you for celebrating the Year of the Ox!'''

*The ability to view and accept or decline pending requests

====Seasonal Rewards====
 
We've created some new and unique Limited Edition bases this year as Seasonal Rewards for the most dedicated map hunters!
 
 
 
'''NEW Thief Base'''
 
Introducing the first "switchable" base that allows you to choose your play style while hunting in the city of Zokor. The base has two modes that each have different abilities and different artwork!

Stealth Mode
 
Provides a 50% chance to not lose Stealth allowing you to hunt in Zokor longer to gather more loot!
 
 
 
*Power: 500
 
*Power Bonus: 15%
 
*Attraction Bonus: 5%
 
*Luck: 10

*Power: 500
 
*Power Bonus: 15%
 
*Attraction Bonus: 5%
 
*Luck: 10
 
 
 
These new modes are switchable via a new button in the Zokor HUD. This button will only appear in Zokor and only if you own this base.
 
 
 
'''NEW Forecaster Base'''
 
This base will help to speed up your progress in Moussu Picchu by DOUBLING the weather intensity gained on every successful catch. This base will automatically switch which weather type it affects based on which cheese you have armed.

Doubles weather intensity gained in Moussu Picchu.
 
 
 
*Power: 400
