==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Attention Android Players'''
+
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.
 
 
Unfortunately due to unforeseen delays with Google, the Android update is not yet available.
 
 
 
You will still be able to play the event but you won't see a button to toggle your Insidious Incense until the update is released.
 
  
Please check the play store periodically for the new update to arrive, version 1.133.0.
+
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.
  
Check the Google Play store Here.
+
==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
 +
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!
  
'''Attention iOS Players'''
+
*Small
 +
:'''250 Bland Queso'''
  
Please make sure you check for the latest update from Apple for version 1.133.0, it should now be available for download.
+
*Medium
 +
:'''500 Bland Queso'''
  
Check the Apple store Here.
+
*Large
 +
:'''1,500 Bland Queso'''
  
'''You can check your current application version in the "Settings" tab in your mobile application.'''
+
'''150 Wild Tonic'''
 +
DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!
  
</div></div>
+
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.
  
==== There is More to the Story ====
+
==== Spice Leaf and Cork Material Exchange ====
The story of the Folklore Forest has been edited, updated, and embellished with many exciting new plot points, details, and even a brand new character!
 
  
==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns... ====
+
Big Jaq has expanded her wares and offers a Spice Leaf and Cork Material Exchange! You can exchange up your Nachore, Spice Leaves, AND Cork Materials for higher tier items! Make sure you don't miss out!
The harrowing hut has returned to nest in the Gloomy Greenwood for this year's Halloween celebration and with it, the spine-tingling siren song of the spooktacular Baba Gaga!
 
  
Are you brave enough to travel back to the '''Gloomy Greenwood''', conquer her collectors, command her cauldrons, and capture the most ghoulish performer of all time?
+
'''Spice Leaf Exchange'''
  
==== Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing =====
+
*Mild Spice Leaf
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!
+
:Cost: 6 Nachore
  
Click on either cauldron to open up Baba Gaga's '''Recipe Book''' where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.
+
*Medium Spice Leaf
 +
:Cost: 3 Mild Leaves
  
Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the '''Pungent Pumpkins''' that they are carrying. If you have any leftover Halloween event cheese from previous years then you can use that instead of basic bait.
+
*Hot Spice Leaf
 +
:Cost: 3 Medium Leaves
  
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of '''Monterey Jack-O-Lantern'''. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.
+
*Flamin' Spice Leaf
 +
:Cost: 4 Hot Leaves
  
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to '''Scream Cheese''' in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
+
*Cork Bark
 +
:Cost: 12 Nachore
  
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called '''Mousedrake Root'''. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
+
*Rubber
 +
:Cost: 4 Cork
  
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some brand new and extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all the available potions and what each of them can do.
+
*Geyserite
 +
:Cost: 6 Rubber
  
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

*Tungsten
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Get a head start with these delicious delights!'''</div></div>

Igniting this incense will add +1 to all ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, including Mousedrake Root!

SHE’S BIG, SHE’S BACK, SHE’S JAQ!

7 February 2023

And she brought back the Shack!

Big, Back, with some new things in the Shack!
Big Jaq is back in the Queso Canyon with all sorts of spicy deals!

Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon

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.

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.

Kegs of Bland Queso

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!

  • Small
250 Bland Queso
  • Medium
500 Bland Queso
  • Large

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.
