Rumour has it that Ronza has been hard at work on developing a groundbreaking new form of dirigible technology for use in the Floating Islands.

One thing that is known is that Ronza is offering a new and very unique reward this year for hunters who are able to collect 200 Chrome Bits. The reward is a strange and rather dangerous looking crate that is plastered with warning symbols. The crates are all currently locked so the contents are still a mystery but Ronza has claimed that she will share the secrets contained within as soon as her project is completed. For now, the hunters of Gnawnia will have to just wait and wonder.

====Updates to Rift Equipment to Address Bugs====
+
'''NEW Cork Material Exchange'''
Greetings, hunters. We recently discovered two related bugs that were affecting both the Prestige Base as well as the Riftwalker and Riftstalker set bonuses. These bugs were causing the various bonuses involved with the base and sets to be doubled in some cases. The issue affecting the Riftwalker (and later Riftstalker) set bonus appears to have been introduced in February, 2015 when the Taunting Charm was given the relevant rift-set bonus when encountering certain mice. The Prestige Base has been affected since its introduction in October 2019.
 
  
After carefully reviewing the cause of the problem we decided to fix the error but also increase the bonuses of the Prestige Base, Riftwalker, and Riftstalker sets to still grant the same increased bonuses. However, these increased bonuses will now correctly appear in your trap stats. Or in other words, instead of lowering the stats, we've adopted these unintended "hidden" bonuses and they will now be displayed.
+
*Cork Bark
 +
:Cost: 12 Nachore
  
====Riftwalker and Riftstalker Set Specifics====
+
*Rubber
 +
:Cost: 4 Cork
  
The bug affecting the Riftwalker and Riftstalker set were doubling the additional ''''Power Bonus''' these sets provide when two pieces of Rift equipment are armed. However, the '''Luck''' of these sets was '''NOT''' affected.
+
*Geyserite
 +
:Cost: 6 Rubber
  
Therefore, the Riftwalker Set Bonus has been updated to provide a 20% Power Bonus, and the Riftstalker Set bonus updated to provide a 40% Power Bonus. Once again, these additional bonuses were already being applied while hunting, but were previously not visible in your trap's stats.
+
*Tungsten
 +
:Cost: 6 Geyserite
  
====Prestige Base Specifics====
+
==== Blooming Spice Plants ====
 +
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 Blooming Spice Plants of various sizes, heats, and materials.
  
The bug affecting the Prestige Base was providing both double the Power and Luck given based on your highest floor reached during Ultimate Umbra.
+
'''Small Blooming Spice Plant'''
 +
When harvested, you are guaranteed to find '''Mild Spice Leaves'''. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of either '''Medium''' or '''Hot Spice Leaves'''.
  
Therefore, the Prestige Base has been updated to provide 20 Power per highest floor reached during Ultimate Umbra and +2 Luck per Eclipse Floor reached during Ultimate Umbra. As was the case with the Riftwalker/Riftstalker sets, these increased stats were already being applied while hunting, but were previously not visible in your trap's stats.
+
'''Medium Blooming Spice Plant'''
 +
When harvested, you are guaranteed to find '''Mild''' and '''Medium Spice Leaves'''. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of either '''Hot''' or '''Flamin' Spice Leaves'''.
  
====Why we're adopting the higher stats====
+
'''Large Blooming Spice Plant'''
 +
When harvested, you are guaranteed to find '''Mild''', '''Medium''', and '''Hot Spice Leaves'''. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of '''Flamin' Spice Leaves''', or, more rarely, '''Ember Roots''' or '''Ember Stones'''.
  
If we were not to adopt the higher stats than hunters who had already utilized these bonuses to reach higher floors within the Valour Rift Gauntlet Tower, or accomplish other difficult feats within the Rift Plane would have had an advantage.
+
'''NEW Blooming Rubber Plant'''
 +
When harvested, you are guaranteed to find enough '''Cork Bark''' and '''Congealed Rubber''' for a Medium Cork along with either some '''Geyserite''' or '''Tungsten'''.
  
Keeping the playing field level feels especially important due to the nature of the Prestige Base. We felt removing bonuses that in some cases have been active for more than five years didn't make sense. By adopting the higher stats the catch rates and expectations hunters have already come to know will remain the same, and future hunters will have an equal opportunity to accomplish the same difficult feats in the Rift Plane.
+
'''50 Wild Tonic'''
 +
Use Wild Tonic and Bland Queso to fertilize these plants!
  
After getting feedback from a variety of hunters, we realized that no single solution to address the issue would be popular with every group of player. We still welcome continued feedback and are weighing other additions such as new functionality for the Clockwork Base as part of a future patch. Please keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

To lure these quick and athletic mice to your trap, you'll first need to grab hold of some Runny Cheese! This can be collected at the Tournament Hall while hunting with any standard variety of cheese from the Cheese Shoppe. Arm your Runny Cheese at the Tournament Hall to attract the five unique Great Gnawnian Games breeds of mice. Keep an eye out for the Extreme Everysports Mouse: Should hunters manage to catch it, they may find it drops an occasional Tournament Token that it was hoarding from its many competitive victories!

Finally, a few items associated with the Great Gnawnian Games items are now available at the Tournament Hall.

Ronza is on her way!

Ronza's airship has been spotted en route to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Unfortunately, a brief skirmish with some Sky Pirates caused a gigantic crate of her precious Chrome Bits to fall overboard! Mice all across the Kingdom have been snatching them up so Ronza needs your help to retrieve them.

Collect as many Chrome Bits as you can by hunting mice anywhere in the Kingdom and when Ronza lands on July 27, she'll show her gratitude by offering a wide selection of valuable rewards!

One thing that is known is that Ronza is offering a new and very unique reward this year for hunters who are able to collect 200 Chrome Bits. The reward is a strange and rather dangerous looking crate that is plastered with warning symbols. The crates are all currently locked so the contents are still a mystery but Ronza has claimed that she will share the secrets contained within as soon as her project is completed.
