==== Passage to a New Region ====
+
:Cost: 4 Hot Leaves
Thanks to the diligent effort of hunters throughout the Kingdom, a means of passage has been discovered into what's now confirmed to be the region of Folklore Forest!
 
  
The passage was discovered after hunters found a clue from a Bookborn Mouse that lead to tracking Silth mice to reveal a subterranean passage. These passages expand from the Fungal Cavern to the Lagoon, and to what's now known to be the Folklore Forest.
+
*Cork Bark
 +
:Cost: 12 Nachore
  
This passage is far too small for any hunter to navigate, however, the King's excavation crew is working on expanding and securing the passageway so hunters may navigate through to emerge in the Folklore Forest!

==== The Legendary Looking Glass ====

*Tungsten
Entering the Folklore Forest requires the Legendary Looking Glass which can be purchased from the Floating Islands Cartographer. Gazing into this magical mirror will allow hunters to cross the protective boundary that lies at the end of the subterranean passage!
+
:Cost: 6 Geyserite
  
With the help of hunters, the Floating Islands Cartographer has confirmed how to assemble the Legendary Looking Glass.
+
==== 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.
  
Any hunter wishing to obtain one must follow these steps:
+
'''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'''.
  
*Recover a Liquid Lens from the Paragon of Water or the Empyrean Empress in a Hydro Reservoir
+
'''Medium Blooming Spice Plant'''
*Recover a Tactical Grip from the Paragon of Tactics or the Empyrean Empress in a Tactical Maze

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'''.
  
==== The Mystery of the Subterranean Underpass ====
+
'''NEW Blooming Rubber Plant'''
March 2010 was the first time the Subterranean Underpass was mentioned. Entrenched in the lore of the mysterious Silth Mouse, this underground area came to be thought of as myth. It wasn't until hunters discovered a document from the Crystal Library that a certain Bookborn Mouse had in its possession that it became clear the Subterranean Underpass did indeed exist!
+
When harvested, you are guaranteed to find enough '''Cork Bark''' and '''Congealed Rubber''' for a Medium Cork along with either some '''Geyserite''' or '''Tungsten'''.
  
Upon this Bookborn discovering an Enchanted Page hinting at the existence of the passage, it quickly used its findings to scamper off to the Sky Palace in search of an Adorned Empyrean Jewel to create a Looking Glass of its own. The Jet Stream provided the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the palace without being noticed by its guards or any hunters where it quickly looted a jewel and returned to the Crystal Library. Although, not before acquiring a taste for the opulent flavour of Extra Rich Cloud Cheesecake.
+
'''50 Wild Tonic'''
 +
Use Wild Tonic and Bland Queso to fertilize these plants!
  
After a day or two of sleuthing, hunters uncovered this hidden Bookborn Mouse by luring it out of hiding in the Crystal Library using its new found love of Extra Rich Cloud Cheesecake. With hunters now having discovered the Enchanted Page it wasn't long before the mystery of the Silth Mouse and the Subterranean Underpass was also solved.
+
==== Big Jaq's Bundles ====
 +
Visit the Premium Shop to pick up two special one-time deals on some very spicy hunting supplies.
  
With the King's excavation crew hard at work securing the passage, hunters can still experience solving this mystery to find special rewards!
+
These special offers are only available until Big Jaq leaves on Wednesday, February 22!
  
Any hunter wishing to experience the mystery can follow these steps:
+
Pick up Big Jaq's Budding Bundle to receive 25 Wild Tonic, 10,000 Bland Queso and a Large Blooming Spice Plant. (Limit 1 per hunter)
  
*Step 1: Capture the hidden Bookborn Mouse in the Crystal Library using Extra Rich Cloud Cheesecake to obtain an Adorned Empyrean Jewel, Draft Derby Curds, and a new collectible Enchanted Page (Note: The Bookborn is so well hidden, not even your trap effectiveness meter will know it's there!)
+
