| − | ===MouseHunt Birthday Dance Party!===
| |
| − | ''{{date|04|March|2014}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | MouseHunt's Sixth Birthday is here, meaning it's time to celebrate!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Birthday Conga Dance Party!====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | MouseHunt turns SIX YEARS OLD on March 7 and the entire Kingdom is looking to celebrate! The King's construction crews have been hard at work constructing a dance hall, the perfect venue for a massive party!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unfortunately, all the party supplies and decorations have been stolen by mice in the area. It looks like to get the celebration started, MouseHunters will need to do what they've done best for more than half a decade: HUNT MICE!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Visit the Dance Hall in Gnawnia to help recover the decorations and get the party started!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Gathering Party Supplies====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The mice that have stolen the party supplies are all festive breeds, ready for a party. In order to attract these birthday bash mice, you'll need to supply yourself with Cupcake Colby Cheese. Fortunately, mice in the area are carrying potions to create Cupcake Colby. To gather potions, simply start hunting for loot at the Dance Hall. There is a wide variety of breeds at the Dance Hall. Try experimenting with different types of cheese to see what you can attract and what mice drop Cupcake Colby Potions!<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Once you've collected enough Party Supplies to finish decorating the hall, you'll be ready to start the dance party!<br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Visit the Dance Hall ⇒ Gather Cupcake Colby ⇒ Use Colby to Gather Party Supplies ⇒ Decorate ⇒ Get the party started!'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Hunting a Conga Line of Mice====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The final and most important party commodity is the Disco Ball! This important item is being held by a mouse particularly interested in the expertise of dancing. Capturing this vermin will prove especially challenging due to a unique defense formation: a mouse conga line!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The dangerous dancer, known only as El Flamenco, is leading the front of a conga line, which is full of other birthday party mice, all congaing away from the hunters. Although it may look a bit silly, the conga line serves to protect each mouse participating in it, making only the mouse currently at the rear of the conga line vulnerable to capture. In order to reach and defeat this terpsichorean terror, this serial synchronizer, this precision performer at his own game, you'll have to hunt each mouse in the conga line in order of appearance, working your way to the front, then have a final dance-off with El Flamenco himself!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Disco Ball is of such value that the shop keeper at the Dance Hall will sell you a new trap, as well as a variety of new trap skins, in exchange for a Disco Ball and some gold.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Forgotten Birthday Gift Trap====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Trapsmith at the Dance Hall quickly found a new source of trap design inspiration while watching the various dance competitions going on! The result: The Forgotten Art of Dance trap. This agile trap utilizes a droid specifically programmed with all the grace contained in forgotten and beauteous forms of dance. With a stealthy twirl and twist, the droid outmaneuvers forgotten mice, delivering a graceful capture.<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Variety is the spice of dance! The Trapsmith has also assembled four unique trap skins for the dance trap. The trap, as well as the skins, can each be purchased in exchange for one Disco Ball and some gold in the Trapsmith's shoppe. Additionally, the skins can be directly purchased from the King in the premium shoppe.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | As you hunt through Conga Lines of mice, you'll continue to recover more stolen Party Supplies. You can continue to put your Party Supplies to use by constructing upgrades and additions to your Dance Hall!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Additions to your dance floor include: Chaperone Table, Dance Leaderboard, Buffet Table, Donkey Tail Pin-Board, and a rockin' Sound System! Those that are devoted to dance and manage to build ALL five upgrades will earn a Limited Edition First Place Dance Hall Trophy collectible to show they were masters of dance in 2014!<br/><br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you still have even more Party Supplies remaining, the shop keeper at the General Store will put together Birthday Goodie Bags in exchange for your excess supplies. Inside each Birthday Goodie Bag, you will find a few small treats to help you in your hunter endeavours.

| − | ===M400 Prototype Escapes Digby!===
| |
| − | ''{{date|25|February|2014}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | An experimental robotic mouse has escaped the Town of Digby! The prototype known as M400 has hidden somewhere in the Kingdom where it is mass-producing copies of itself to invade Gnawnia!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====The M400 Prototype==== | + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | Digby Scientists had what seemed to be a solid plan: Create a robot mouse to act as a spy and infiltrate the various armies of mice conspiring against Gnawnia. However, their plan quickly turned south when upon activating their creation it immediately aligned itself with mouse-kind, broke free from Digby, and vowed to destroy all humans.<br/><br/>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ==== |
| − | The M400 is now hiding somewhere in the Kingdom where it is producing copies of itself in a plan to overtake Gnawnia. The King considers this threat of the utmost importance and has tasked the most experienced hunters in the Kingdom with tracking down this powerful foe. The M400 is no pushover; hunters require the title of Count/Countess and above in order to begin researching the mouse at the Crystal Library.
| + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | ====Attracting a Mechanical Mouse==== | + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | The M400 is far from a regular mouse. Its complex robotic make-up and computer systems require specific sustenance. Digby Scientists suspect regular bait simply will not be able to trick the intelligence of the M400 and lure it into a trap. How to create bait capable of attracting the M400 is still widely debated, however, the clue to discovering how to create it may lie with the M400 itself.<br/><br/>
| + | -- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}} |
| − | Upon escaping Digby, the M400 sought out a power source in the form of a half-technology, half-fondue like cheese. Before going into hiding, the M400 was spotted across the Kingdom, presumably hiding the ingredients for its power-supplying fondue. A new research assignment is now available at the Crystal Library to investigate where the M400 is currently hiding these ingredients in order to craft a batch of your own special bait.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Tracking the M400====
| + | ---- |
| | | | |
| − | Once you have completed your M400 bait research and obtained an ample supply of bait to hunt with, you may begin another research assignment at the Crystal Library to track down where the M400 is currently hiding. Due to limited reconnaissance on the M400's whereabouts, each assignment only has a single clue upon starting it. Follow the trail and hunt mice across the Kingdom to gather intel and eventually reveal the M400's hiding spot.<br/><br/>
| + | </blockquote> --> |
| − | Once you have finally uncovered where the M400 is hiding, arm your fondue to lure the M400 into a trap. Take warning, though! The M400 was created to stand toe-to-toe with some of the strongest mice adversaries known! Its unique programming and understanding of hunting equipment makes it resistant to all hunting equipment, with only a very small weakness to Physical and Tactical traps. Mustachio, the Charm Master, recommends arming your most powerful charms to help your odds of success. After all, fondue cheese is extremely difficult to gather, so you'll want to make each and every piece of bait count!<br/><br/>
| + | ''For older updates, visit the [[MHWiki:Current events/Archive|Archive]].'' |
| − | Upon capturing the M400 Mouse, its systems will trigger a retreat, causing it to once again go into hiding. You'll need to start another research assignment to follow its trail and find where it's hiding again. Take note, each time the M400 goes into hiding it will likely take a different path, meaning the research assignment to find it will be entirely different.<br/><br/>
| + | <onlyinclude> |
| − | '''No matter your strategy, one thing is clear:''' Make sure you have an ample supply of Fusion Fondue Cheese before beginning to research the M400. If the M400 steals all your bait, you'll need to start tracking it from the beginning again!

| − | | + | ''{{date|9|January|2024}}'' |
| − | ====With Great Research Comes Great Rewards====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Researching the M400 will require you to flex your mind in every way possible! Upon completing your bait research, the librarians at the Crystal Library will reward you with Library Points, Tomes of Wisdom, and Wealth Charms.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Researching and capturing the M400 Mouse will earn you even more rewards! The M400's systems utilizes the unique energy contained within charm orbs. Upon completing your research assignment, the Crystal Library Librarians will extract as many of these orbs as they can from the M400 and place them in your inventory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Look the Part with New M400 Skins====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The M400's unique AI programming includes a healthy curiosity about hunting traps and equipment. The robotic mouse analyzes traps to better understand how to avoid them, and even makes attempts at assimilating trap technology to serve mouse instead of hunter. Upon capturing an M400, you may find evidence of this curiosity in the form of a new trap skin.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | In response to the escape of the M400 are two new skins: one for the Sandstorm MonstroBot, and another for the Chrome MonstroBot. The first is adorned in the same metallic coating as the M400 itself, while the second, has been outfitted with a similar propulsion and flight system! They were designed to help further disguise the MonstroBot but the M400 stole the entire shipment, thinking the similar-looking "robot" could aid it. With some luck, you may find one of these two skins upon capturing an M400 Mouse.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Some preliminary research done by both Digby Scientists and Crystal Library Librarians has secured a quantity of one of these skins, which the King has made available to hunters. However, the second skin, which fits the Chrome MonstroBot, complete with propulsion and flight systems, can only be found as loot when capturing the M400 Mouse itself.

| − | ''{{date|18|February|2014}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | Carl's Cozy Cruise has returned to port, marking the end of the celebration.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Spending Cruise Bux====
| |
| − | | |
| − | All of the shops on board Carl's Cozy Cruise have been moved to a location in Gnawnia known as the Vacant Lot. If you were aboard the cruise when it came to an end, you'll now find yourself in this location. Make sure to visit the Vacant Lot and spend any Cruise Bux you earned while on the cruise. The shops there will remain open for approximately one week, so don't delay -- shop today!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Toxic Spill in the Burroughs====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Last week there was a Toxic Spill outside the Laboratory. Carl's ship managed to cruise right through the sludge and past the venomous mice there, however, the mess still needs cleaning up. If you're up for it, visit the Toxic Spill in the Burroughs to lend a hand in the cleanup efforts. Just make sure to roll up your sleeves while checking your trap. That polluted sludge looks like it may stain clothing!

| − | ===New Orb Discovery and Improved Train Schedule===
| |
| − | ''{{date|06|February|2014}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | New loot drops, gifts, and train updates! Working closely with Larry, we've assembled some info and tips of what's new in the Kingdom.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Mice Carrying Charm Orbs==== | + | ==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ==== |
| − | It appears as though several breeds of mice have taken an interest in collecting Charm Orbs! It must be the shiny glass that makes some mice love picking them up. This means you'll now find various Orbs as loot while hunting in more locations across the Kingdom!<br/><br/>
| + | Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating! |
| − | '''Larry reports that various types of Charm Orbs can now be found in:'''
| |
| − | :- Jungle of Dread (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Balack's Cove (Flawless and Divine Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Slushy Shoreline (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Iceberg (Flawed, Simple, Flawless, and Divine Orbs)
| |
| − | :- Claw Shot City (Flawed and Simple Orbs)
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | If you're an avid charm crafter, make sure to check out these locations and see if you can spot which breeds are now carrying Orbs as loot!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Mustachio's Gifts of the Day====
| + | After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw. |
| − | Mustachio is always eager to see hunters explore charm crafting and see what powerful types of charms they're able to discover. His enthusiasm for charm crafting is so great that he has offered his own personal supply of Flawed and Simple Orbs to the King to use as special gifts of the day. Flawed and Simple Orbs will now occasionally appear as a free Gift of the Day. Make sure to check the Free Gifts section regularly to spot when these items show up!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Dreaded Charm Power Shift====
| + | Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year. |
| − | The arrival of Charm Orbs in the Jungle of Dread appears to have had an effect on how Dreaded Charms work in the area. Now, instead of a Dreaded Charm being effective against mice of the Dreaded Horde, the charm provides the same power bonus to your trap at all times while hunting in the Jungle of Dread. This subtle change means that you'll now see the effect of the charm on all mice, meaning your trap's power will be visibly higher while in the Jungle of Dread. Mustachio is still investigating this minor shift in power, but you can observe it yourself in the Trap Selector!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Gnawnian Express Train Schedule====
| |
| − | A breakthrough in locomotive technology has allowed for a single engine to pull a significantly larger number of passenger cars! What does this mean? Well, each train can now hold more hunters than ever when leaving the Gnawnian Express Station. The train schedule has been modified accordingly with a single train leaving each hour carrying a much larger number of hunters. Feel like taking a wild train ride? Dust off your conductor's cap and climb aboard! Just make sure to buckle up in Daredevil Canyon, I hear it's a bit of a bumpy ride.
| |
| − | <br/><br/>
| |
| − | Thus concludes Larry's findings from across the Kingdom! Until next time hunters, happy hunting!

| | | | |
| − | ====Boarding the Ship====
| |
| | | | |
| − | Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise can be found in Gnawnia near the Harbour. This cruise party is like no other Carl has hosted before: This year's cozy cruise is not only decorated for Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day, but also has an expansive sports deck, complete with an ice rink! The new sports deck appears to have attracted some athletic mice, however, their taste in bait is a little different than mice currently found on the mainland.

| | | | |
| − | ====Horse-Powering the Ship====
| + | Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely. |
| | | | |
| − | Carl's mechanical prowess certainly leaves much to be desired. He's completely forgotten to supply an adequate source of fuel for his massive cruise ship!<br/><br/>
| + | After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be '''removed from your inventory''': |
| | + | *Golem Parts |
| | + | *Animated Snow |
| | + | *Reinforced Ice Shards |
| | + | *Compressed Cinnamon |
| | + | *Hailstones |
| | + | *Firework Sugar Cookies |
| | + | *Magical Holiday Scarf |
| | + | *Golem Gift Box |
| | | | |
| − | To get the ship sailing at a proper pace, he's going to need your help. Luckily, some of the mice on board the ship are carrying just the explosive item you need: Fireworks. These are not just any fireworks! Their mighty blast, when timed perfectly from the rear of the ship, is capable of propelling the ship forward. Collect basic Firecracker Charms as loot drops to speed the ship up, or find more powerful varieties to move even quicker, leaving behind a mighty wake!<br/><br/>
| + | <div style="text-align: center;>'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 16!'''</div></div> |
| | | | |
| − | While using various types of firework charms to propel the ship, you'll no doubt notice that the mice you attract change depending on the type of fireworks show you're putting on. It appears that some of the mice which are costumed for Lunar New Year only come out to party when the fireworks get BIG!
| + | ==== Last Chance for Limited Time Bundles ==== |
| | + | These limited time bundles will be gone from the Premium Shop on Tuesday, January 16 so pick them up while you still can! |
| | | | |
| − | ====Visit the Sports Deck====
| |
| | | | |
| − | It's a little chilly out in the Rodentia Ocean. In fact, it's cold enough to keep an ice rink frozen on the sports deck! Various sporty mice have flocked to the cruise to try out not only the ice rink, but the various other sports facilities the ship offers. However, luring them away from their sport poses a challenge. You'll need to get your hands on some Runny Cheese to break their athletic discipline and have them visit your trap.<br/><br/>

| − | | + | Prepare to celebrate the year of the dragon by using all of that golem loot in combination with Lunar Lantern Candles to DOUBLE or TRIPLE your rewards! |
| − | The currency on board Carl's ship is Cruise Bux. These nautical coins are handed out as celebrations for safely arriving at new areas of Gnawnia while cruising, and can also be found as loot drops from mischievous mice who keep running off with the stuff! Keep your ship cruising quickly across the water to propel through the Kingdom and keep the celebrations coming!<br/><br/> | |
| − | | |
| − | Upon completing the first tour, you'll be awarded a Captain's Cavalry Sword to indicate you've mastered the rough waters of Rodentia. This sword will earn you the respect of the shopkeepers, which will in turn allow you to purchase their wares. Once you've obtained your Cavalry Sword and amassed some Cruise Bux, visit the various shoppes on board to browse what hunting loot they have for sale. If you're the type that likes to remember where you've been with mementos, then the General Store will be of particular interest. Stocked in the General Store are several "miniatures" to remember each place the cruise ship visited.

| − | ===A Toxic Spill has occurred outside the Laboratory!=== | |
| − | ''{{date|21|January|2014}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | | |
| − | A spill of toxic waste has happened at the Laboratory! The Toxic Spill has polluted the opening of the Burroughs River causing the mice there to mutate into powerful monsters! Read on to learn how hunters can help hunt the mice there and clean up the pollution.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The Toxic Spill marks the first release in the Year of the Noble which represents a series of content releases aimed at adding new challenges for experienced hunters with high-ranked hunter's titles!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Outbreaks and Toxic Spills====
| |
| − | Toxic Spills are the result of a build up of polluted waste from the Lab spilling into the river due to the filtration system being damaged beyond repair by mice. The damaged filters block the waste until they give under the weight of the waste, causing it to flow into the river.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | It's somewhat unpredictable how often a spill occurs and just how much waste will be spilled, however, with waste always building up these spills are likely to occur somewhat frequently. Each time there is a spill the amount of waste spilled is a little different, meaning each spill will vary in its level of severity.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Depending on the level of severity, access to the area will be restricted: Higher levels of toxic waste are restricted to higher-hunter's title, while lower levels of waste will allow for less experienced hunters to enter the spill area. These restrictions are for good reason -- High levels of contamination are when the most powerful mice are active requiring experienced hunters with powerful hunting equipment!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Contamination Levels====
| |
| − | A Toxic Spill can be of eight possible contamination levels. As mice are captured, the contamination level will lower.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The minimum title required to enter different levels of contamination:
| |
| − | :*Level Eight: Archduke / Archduchess
| |
| − | :*Level Seven: Grand Duke / Grand Duchess
| |
| − | :*Level Six: Duke / Duchess
| |
| − | :*Level Five: Count / Countess
| |
| − | :*Level Four: Baron / Baroness
| |
| − | :*Level Three: Lord / Lady
| |
| − | :*Level Two: Knight
| |
| − | :*Level One: Hero
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you may expect, more powerful mice can be found during high contamination levels, while slightly weaker mice can be found during lower levels. Similarly, the more powerful mice come with the greatest reward of gold and points.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Hunters with a title of Hero or above will be made aware of the current contamination level via a banner placed above their journal while hunting outside the Toxic Spill. If you're interested in helping and lack the necessary title to enter, check in periodically to track the progress of higher-ranked hunters and see when you'll be able to enter the Toxic Spill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Hunting strategies for the Toxic Spill====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thanks to the early efforts of Digby Scientists, the King and Larry were able to gain valuable insight on how to hunt the mice at the Toxic Spill. Their findings include a distinct weakness to hydro traps, as well as a new type of bait called Rancid Radioactive Blue. Rancid Radioactive Blue is a more pungent version of Radioactive Blue and can be made my smashing Radioactive Blue to obtain its curd and combining two curds with Radioactive Sludge and Ionized Salt. Alternatively, the keeper at the Cheese Shoppe will sell you Rancid Radioactive Blue, so long as you provide him some regular Radioactive Blue, Radioactive Sludge, and some gold to cover the cost of Ionized Salt.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | No matter how you obtain your bait, you'll want to arm your absolutely strongest hydro trap. The polluted mice at the Toxic Spill seem to only be weakened with a healthy dose of water, making all other power types ineffective.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Collecting and refining Crude Pollutinum==== | + | <div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 125%;">'''The Lunar New Year Event will begin on Tuesday, February 6, 2024!'''</div> |
| − | | |
| − | While hunting at the Toxic Spill you'll likely come across the unique item Crude Pollutinum. This gooey resource can be refined into a more useful item simply called Pollutinum. The refined version is undoubtedly a much more useful item for crafting that has hunters across the Kingdom excited about its possible use. The King's trapsmith is tinkering with Pollutinum to create a new base, while Mustachio is interested in how it could be used to create charms. Some hunters interested in cosmetics are exploring how to create unique trap skins with Pollutinum.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | An important word of caution: Refining Crude Pollutinum is a process to dangerous to attempt while a Toxic Spill is actively raising the levels of radiation in the Kingdom; You'll need to wait until the Toxic Spill is entirely cleaned before you can refine Crude Pollutinum into it's more useful refined state.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Finally, in order to safely store Crude Pollutinum in your inventory, each hunter has been given a containment barrel from the King capable of holding 200 units of Crude Pollutinum. Larger barrels can be crafted with scraps found in the Toxic Spill, allowing you to store more Crude Pollutinum each time a Toxic Spill occurs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Supply and Hazmat Kits====
| |
| − | | |
| − | To help equip hunters, the King has assembled various supplies and two kits using the Kingdom's reserve of Radioactive Curd and Sludge.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Pollution Control Supply Kit'''<br/>
| |
| − | Contains 200 Radioactive Curd and 100 Radioactive Sludge.
| |
| − | Available for purchase at the King's Arms using King's Credits.
| |
| − | <br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Rancid Radioactive Blue'''<br/>
| |
| − | Attract the polluted mice!
| |
| − | <br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Hazmat Cleanup Kit'''<br/>
| |
| − | More Rancid Radioactive Blue, and as a small bonus, a few Soap Charms to weaken the polluted mice!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Toxic Spill in the Burroughs!====
| |
| − | :*Hunt mice to cleanup the pollution
| |
| − | :*Hunter's Title required lowers as the contamination level is lowered
| |
| − | :*Grab some Rancid Radioactive Blue and a Hydro Trap
| |
| − | :*Earn points, gold, and Pollutinum!

| |
| − | ''{{date|17|January|2014}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | Pollution levels outside the lab are rising! Digby Scientists predict that a deadly toxic spill is imminent!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Laboratory Outflow Filters====
| |
| − | The Laboratory has long been entirely overrun with mice, however, Digby Scientists are now reporting that the infestation is beginning to affect more than just the Lab. The waste outflow pipes that pour into the Burroughs River have had their filtration system chewed through by mice, making them much less reliable.<br/><br/> Without a properly functioning filtration system, the pollutants generated at the Lab are slowly building up in the river opening, forming a delta of radioactive waste. The scientists at Digby are predicting that once this pollution reaches a critical mass, a massive toxic spill will occur!
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Early Toxic Spill Research====
| + | ---- |
| − | A small team of brave scientists from Digby ventured into the Laboratory to investigate the potential effects of pollution entering the Burroughs river on mice in the area. A few experiments later, their most-feared hypothesis was proven true: The toxic waste has dastardly effects on mice, increasing their size and strength, while others gain new found powers! The toxic environment also appears to make the mice extremely aggressive, making them a serious threat to the safety of the Kingdom.<br/><br/>With no doubt in the scientists' minds that a toxic spill is imminent, the King has called upon experienced hunters to stand at the ready and brace themselves to hunt mice at the toxic spill.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | The cleanup strategy will be as follows:
| |
| − | :*When the spill first occurs and is at its highest contamination level, more experienced hunters will need to head in and capture the most powerful mice.
| |
| − | :*As the contamination level drops and the more powerful mice are removed, lower ranks of hunters will be permitted to enter the area.
| |
| − | :*Repeat this strategy as the pollution levels continue to drop, allowing in more and more hunters, until the area is completely free of contaminants.<br/>
| |
| − | Although the scientists are not positive how severe the toxic spill may be, the King is asking for hunters with the title of Hero all the way to Archduke to be at the ready.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | Digby scientists have not finished their investigation, but they're able to share one preliminary finding that may help hunters prepare for the imminent toxic spill: Mice exposed to the toxic waste can be lured closer by extremely radioactive and rancid items. Although standard Radioactive Blue Cheese has not proven effective, they're confident that should a more rancid variety of this cheese be crafted, it would be extremely effective.<br/><br/>
| |
| − | '''Digby scientists are recommending that hunters stock up on both Radioactive Blue Cheese and Radioactive Sludge as they suspect both items will prove valuable in the upcoming Toxic Spill.'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Pollution accumulating around the Lab====
| |
| − | :*A Toxic Spill is imminent
| |
| − | :*Hunters from Hero to Archduke, prepare for a new challenge!
| |
