==== A Mountainous Welcome to new Hunters Awaits! ====
 
After working on improving his training methods and techniques in the Town of Gnawnia and Windmill, Larry has set his sights to the craggy peaks of the Mountains. For years he's helped new hunters become familiar with the mysterious charms that are littered within the snowy crags and the powers they hold. In doing so, he has figured out how to refine and refocus his methods so hunters can receive the best training they possibly can.
 
 
 
Striking a deal with Moustachio, Larry has convinced the researcher to offer the Charm Conduit at no cost. That's right, the Charm Conduit is now free and no longer requires any gold from the Hunter. In addition, the Mountain Charm Shoppe has seen changes in its inventory and pricing. Now the shoppe only offers Charmbits, Power Charms, and Prospector Charms, with both Power and Prospector Charms being sold at a lower price.
 
 
 
Makes one wonder what Larry offered in exchange for such a generous reduction. Perhaps it was a lifetime supply of moustache wax!
 
 
 
==== The Mountain: Reshaped and Refined ====
 
Years and years of bombardment from the power of the charms used here have sculpted a much more refined Mountain than what may be familiar to veteran hunters. After constant rattling and explosions, it seems a deeper layer of power charms has been revealed. Most mice will now be carrying Power Charms and even Super Power Charms instead of Small Power Charms so hunters will be able to blast through Chedd-Ore faster than before.
 
 
 
Speaking of which, it seems as though it's not just Power Charms that have been rattled from deep within. The delicious Chedd-ore boulders have been seen in more abundance, allowing hunters to continue to mine them regardless of what cheese they have equipped. You can now mine Chedd-ore even while using Chedd-ore or Abominable Asiago!
 
 
 
Lastly, it seems as though the disruption has caused the mouse population itself to shift and adapt to the new environment. Mouse encounter pools have been split into different standard cheese types, so check your trap effectiveness to see if your cheese will attract the mice you're after. You may even encounter a familiar face, '''The Flying Mouse''', here in the Mountains. On top of that, mice strengths and their gold rewards have been adjusted. So, not only are mice a bit easier to catch, they're also more rewarding!

=== [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=593 RELIC HUNTER SEASON 9 HAS BEGUN!] ===
 
''{{date|9|November|2021}}''
 
 
 
'''Searchable Community Maps, Improved Mobile UI, New Rewards!'''<br>
 
The new season of Relic Hunter brings exciting updates and unique rewards.
 
  
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
  
==== Relic Hunter Season 9 has begun! ====
+
==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
The new Relic Hunter season brings with it exciting updates to Community Maps, important mobile interface improvements, changes to Elite and Slayer maps, and unique seasonal rewards.
+
The travelling 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 browse her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
  
So gather your relics, assemble your treasure hunting team, and prepare for adventure!
+
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.
  
==== Community Map Listing Updates ====
+
==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
You can now search, filter, and sort treasure maps by their name, number of mice caught, and number of hunters on the map on both the browser and mobile app.
+
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (she 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!
  
There's also a handy menu link to go straight to the publicly listed Community Maps section.
+
*Small
 +
:'''250 Bland Queso'''
  
Now it's even easier to find and join community maps of every shape and size!
+
*Medium
 +
:'''500 Bland Queso'''
  
==== Interface Improvements ====
+
*Large
===== Mobile Improvements =====
+
:'''1,500 Bland Queso'''
We've made even more mobile interface improvements from last year that will make mapping on mobile even smoother, more feature-rich, and more consistent with the browser experience.
 
  
These new additions to mobile are too numerous to list but here are some key changes:
+
'''150 Wild Tonic'''
*Navigation tabs have been added to make treasure mapping more seamless
+
DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!
*Caught mice are now grouped by the hunter who caught them
 
*Inviting friends to your map has helpful filtering and sorting improvements
 
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.083em; margin: 1em 0">
+
These Kegs of Queso can be collected '''anywhere in the region''', including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely 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.
For an exhaustive list of all the changes to the mobile map UI, check out today's patch notes!

''{{date|2|November|2021}}''
 
 
 
'''Halloween is ending soon in the Kingdom of Gnawnia!'''<br>
 
Brew as much Evil Extract as you can before the Greenwood is gone!
 
 
 
<blockquote>
 
 
 
==== The Magic of the Cauldrons is Coming to an End ====
 
The brave hunters of Gnawnia have been so successful in capturing Baba Gaga and her evil minions that they've managed to completely rid the Gloomy Greenwood of all its foul ingredients! Now that the wicked wood witch is on the run, the magic that keeps her cauldrons brewing is starting to fade away and her hut, along with her minions, will soon leave that dark and dreary forest.
 
 
 
There are '''two stages to the shutdown''' of the Boiling Cauldron event to help hunters to maximize their event rewards. The details of the two stages are outlined below.
 
 
 
==== November 2 to November 9, 2021 ====
 
<center>'''Brew as much Evil Extract as you can during this week!'''</center>
 
 
 
As of November 2, 2021, all the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood '''will no longer drop any ingredients including Mousedrake Root'''.
 
 
 
Any ingredients that you've already collected can still be brewed and '''everything else will remain unchanged'''.
 
 
 
==== November 9 to November 16, 2021 ====
 
<center>'''Spend all your Evil Extract before this week is over!'''</center>
 
 
 
As of November 9, 2021, the '''cauldrons will no longer brew while you hunt'''!
 
 
 
You can still use '''Reactive Reagent''' to finish brewing any ingredients you have left but the cauldrons will not work without it.
 
 
 
You can also choose to cancel your current brews and queues in order to get your ingredients back which you can spend in the Charm Shoppe or the Apothecary (General Store).

==== After November 16, 2021 ====
 
<center>'''Make sure to brew it all and spend it all before November 16!'''</center>
 
 
 
On November 16, 2021, the Gloomy Greenwood location will disappear! Any hunters still in the Greenwood will be escorted to the Town of Gnawnia by the King's Guards.
 
 
 
At this point, '''the following ingredients will be removed from your inventory''':
 
 
 
*Pungent Pumpkin
 
*Marshmarrow
 
*Ghost Pepper

1,500 Bland Queso

150 Wild Tonic DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!

These Kegs of Queso can be collected anywhere in the region, including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely 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.
