====Gifts Missing Throughout the Kingdom!====
+
==== The Town of Gnawnia and Windmill Welcome New Hunters ====
 +
Larry the Friendly Knight has spent seemingly countless hours training new Recruits and helping them hone their hunting skills. Over his many years of diligent tutelage, Larry has certainly refined his process and often tried brand new training techniques. Today, in coordination with the King and utilizing some of the feedback from the Great Gnawnian Census Larry has put together his most recent changes to his methods!
  
'Twas the night before the Hunt, when all through the house,
+
Thanks to Larry's updated techniques, new hunters in the Town of Gnawnia will now have a much easier time attracting and capturing most mice while reaping greater rewards for securing the town. After many years of feasting on stolen cheese from new hunters, the Town of Gnawnia mice have become more picky about which types of cheese they are attracted to -- as a consequence, hunters should be able to more effectively single out bounty targets by using their preferred bait!
One creature was stirring, the Great Giftnapper Mouse.
 
He was spiteful and mean and as greedy as can be,
 
With an insatiable craving for more than just brie!
 
  
It was gifts that he wanted and certainly not to share,
+
Meanwhile, the Windmill has received an upgrade by order of the King, and will now churn out Packets of Flour reliably every time a mouse is caught. The faster the Windmill spins, the more flour it will consistently produce! To account for this increased rate of production, the Windmill Cheese Shoppe now only accepts orders for Grilled Cheese in batches of 5, which means more attempts at capturing the elusive Captain Croissant!
He wanted them all for himself, not a one would he spare!
 
So he climbed down the chimneys of each house on the street,
 
Stealing all of their gifts, very sneaky and discrete.
 
  
He made off like a bandit, into the cold winter night,
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">
So the residents would awake to an unfestive sight.
+
''The Windmill HUD within the mobile app may appear out of date until the latest update has been downloaded. Keep an eye out for an update '''v1.112.0''' (or higher) in the App Store and Google Play.''
He left those poor houses all empty and bare,
+
</div>
Then hid himself away, no one quite knows where.
 
  
He travelled the kingdom, hiding every stolen gift,
+
==== A Cheese Making Breakthrough! ====
From Queso Geyser all the way to Furoma Rift.
 
Without gifts, Gnawnia was turning dreary and glum,
 
Until lo and behold, the Festive Comet had come!
 
  
The Magical Snow Golems had returned just in time,
+
New and veteran MouseHunters alike will be pleased to hear that the King has been hard at work developing a new cheese aging process which increases the efficacy of cheese in attracting mice. More affordable cheeses like Cheddar and Marble have received the greatest gains from this new development. However, most types of cheese including Gouda and crafted varieties of cheese will benefit from this new process by failing to attract less often.
To recover the gifts and put a stop to this crime.
 
These creatures are more than just friendly and cute,
 
They're also amazing at gathering loot!
 
  
So send your golems on the journey of the year,
+
Where Cheddar Cheese used to attract a mouse roughly half of the time, Larry has measured the new attraction rate to be around 70% using this new process. Similarly, Marble now attracts at a rate of 75%, Swiss at 80%, Brie at 85%, and Gouda 90%.
And return all the gifts to spread holiday cheer.
 
Once the gifts are returned, it will be time to confront,
 
The Great Giftnapper Mouse and save the Great Winter Hunt!
 
  
====Constructing Snow Golems====
+
In combination with Larry's updated hunting techniques, various mice indigenous to Gnawnia have had specific weaknesses exposed and will be easier to capture for all hunters.
  
Visit the Festive Comet where the snow is not only the perfect packing consistency to create snow golems, but also magically enchanted to bring those golems to life! Start by gathering some Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino Cheese and then arm it to attract a variety of mice that drop snow golem parts. Once you find a Snow Golem Head, Snow Golem Torso, and four Snow Golem Limbs you'll be able to construct a golem to send out on a gift and loot recovery mission!
+
These training endeavors are just a part of Larry's endless commitment to improving his training methods! As Larry continues to hone his methods and learn new techniques, future generations of MouseHunters can expect further improvements as time goes on.
  
 +
==== Aerial Treasure Master Deal Ends Soon ====
  
Once sent out, your golems will return in '''25 hunts time''' not only with a bundle of loot from the areas you sent them to, but also with a stash of Recovered Gifts. Return these gifts to their rightful owners via the heads-up display and you'll find that they have left out a tray of M.I.L.K. and Cookies as a show of thanks for your part in playing Santa.
+
Hunters throughout Hollow Heights have made good use of the new supply routes charted by the Floating Islands Cartographer to seek out and intercept the many treasures of the Empyrean Empire. With the treasure hunting efforts in full swing the exploration supplies assembled by the King are beginning to wane. Today is the final day to pick up the special Aerial Treasure Master Bundle from the Premium Shoppe before it's gone.

</onlyinclude>
Keep returning Recovered Gifts to the houses along your route and you'll eventually catch the Great Giftnapper red-handed! Each time you apprehend this stealthy swindler you'll recover a piece of Plain Wrapping Paper. Although unremarkable at first, this Plain Wrapping Paper can be crafted into more festive varieties via the heads-up display. By decorating your camp site with these festive wrapping papers you can attract similarly themed breeds of Great Winter Hunt event mice.
+
__NOTOC__
 
+
__NOEDITSECTION__
 
 
There are four varieties of festive wrapping paper to create and decorate your camp with, each attracting different mice that drop Festive Sugar Cookies! These sweet treats are a favourite of the various festive shop keepers and as such, they are offering some very special rewards in exchange for Sugar Cookies.

'''S.L.A.C. in a Box'''

'''Elixir Exchanger Base'''
 
 
 
Converts Gauntlet Elixir in your inventory into Tower Sigils. Works anywhere in the Kingdom.

====Other Winter Festivities====
 
Fortunately, the Great Giftnapper's mischief hasn't dampened the festive celebrations in Gnawnia so get in the holiday spirit with these wintry activities!
 
 
 
Snowball Showdown
 
 
 
Everyone's favourite snowball fight! You'll find Throwable Snowballs as loot drops while hunting at the Festive Comet. Your golems also return with Throwable Snowballs once they reach level four. Toss some snow to reveal shapes and earn prizes!
 
 
 
Take on a more rewarding version of the Snowball Showdown by using Snowball Showdown Dust when starting a new game. Have you got more snowballs than you can possibly throw? Visit the General Store where you can exchange Throwable Snowballs for Snowball Showdown Dust.

Profile Gifting
 
 
 
During the Great Winter Hunt you can visit friends' profiles to leave gifts under their festive tree which they'll be able to open during the Grand Gift Opening Ceremony on '''Wednesday, December 23'''! Keep in mind that after the gift opening ceremony begins you'll '''no longer be able to send gifts''', so don't delay, gift today!
 
 
 
Make sure to check your own Hunter Profile where you'll find at least three gifts: One from Larry, one from Ronza, and one from the King himself! These gifts, just like the ones given by friends, can be opened on December 23.
 
 
 
'''This year's Gift Opening Ceremony is on Wednesday, December 23'''.
 
Gifts can no longer be sent after the ceremony begins.
 
 
 
Naughty and Nice Lists
 
 
 
Take playing Santa to the next level by completing Naughty and Nice List Treasure Maps. These unique lists of mice will have you track down Great Winter Hunt mice in search of Treasure Chests! The chests contain goodies to help you in your festive hunting endeavors and can even contain an Advent Chocolate. Using Rare Map Dust will result in a rare chest which '''always''' contains at least one Advent Chocolate!
 
 
 
'''Nice Lists''' are not as difficult and less rewarding. You and your map mates will have to track down a variety of event mice, but none that require HUD decorations. These are great when first getting started.
 
 
 
'''Naughty Lists''' are more difficult but also more rewarding! To complete these maps you'll potentially need to have unlocked all the unique HUD decorations by capturing the Great Giftnapper several times.
 
 
 
*'''Rare Map Dust'''
 
:Always find Advent Chocolate!
 
 
 
Passing Parcels
 
 
 
Back by popular demand! These parcels cost 50,000 gold and can be sent as gifts to friends via the gifting interface. Each Passing Parcel has been repeatedly wrapped an unknown number of times.

The charms inside the Passing Parcel have been given a refresh and include varieties of Snowball Charms, Rift Charms, and Winter Charms, just to name a few.
 
 
 
Winter Aura
 
 
 
Each time a Snow Golem returns it will extend the duration of the Winter Aura. This festive enchantment adds +5 Luck to your trap and gives mice a chance to drop a variety of festive loot items, including Winter Hunt Gift Boxes depending on your Hunter Title. Looking for lower-tier gift boxes? Carefully use the Hunter's Hammer to crush the box into a lower tier and just hope there wasn't anything fragile inside!

TOWN OF GNAWNIA AND WINDMILL UPDATES

5 October 2021

Revisions to the Town of Gnawnia and Windmill!
Faster progression, increased rewards, and improved attraction rates.

The Town of Gnawnia and Windmill Welcome New Hunters

Larry the Friendly Knight has spent seemingly countless hours training new Recruits and helping them hone their hunting skills. Over his many years of diligent tutelage, Larry has certainly refined his process and often tried brand new training techniques. Today, in coordination with the King and utilizing some of the feedback from the Great Gnawnian Census Larry has put together his most recent changes to his methods!

Thanks to Larry's updated techniques, new hunters in the Town of Gnawnia will now have a much easier time attracting and capturing most mice while reaping greater rewards for securing the town. After many years of feasting on stolen cheese from new hunters, the Town of Gnawnia mice have become more picky about which types of cheese they are attracted to -- as a consequence, hunters should be able to more effectively single out bounty targets by using their preferred bait!

Meanwhile, the Windmill has received an upgrade by order of the King, and will now churn out Packets of Flour reliably every time a mouse is caught. The faster the Windmill spins, the more flour it will consistently produce! To account for this increased rate of production, the Windmill Cheese Shoppe now only accepts orders for Grilled Cheese in batches of 5, which means more attempts at capturing the elusive Captain Croissant!

The Windmill HUD within the mobile app may appear out of date until the latest update has been downloaded. Keep an eye out for an update v1.112.0 (or higher) in the App Store and Google Play.

A Cheese Making Breakthrough!

New and veteran MouseHunters alike will be pleased to hear that the King has been hard at work developing a new cheese aging process which increases the efficacy of cheese in attracting mice. More affordable cheeses like Cheddar and Marble have received the greatest gains from this new development.
