===Heart of the Meteor===
 
''{{date|15|March|2017}}''
 
  
A new challenge awaits INSIDE the Fort Rox Meteor!
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
<blockquote>
+
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
====Enter the Heart of the Meteor====
+
 
A new and powerful adversary has been discovered at Fort Rox hiding within the meteor itself! The mouse known simply as the Heart of the Meteor courses with energy and she is presumed to be the source behind the incredible strength and power of the mice that stalk the night.
+
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.
  
Confronting this mouse will be no small task. In order to enter the meteor itself, you'll need what's known as a Portal Projector. Unfortunately, the mice of Fort Rox have carefully hidden this technology by scattering the Portal Projector parts throughout the Fort Rox area.
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
  
Start your journey at the Fort Rox Cartographer by purchasing a Fort Rox Scroll Case and begin a treasure hunt! Track down mice at Fort Rox in search of treasure clues, then hope the chest you find is one of the few that contain a Portal Projector component. Once you've constructed a projector from a Portal Core and Portal Console, you'll be able to activate it during dawn to enter the meteor and face off against the Heart of the Meteor!
 
  
====Capturing the Heart of the Meteor====
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt has entered the shutdown phase'''</div>
Capturing the Heart of the Meteor requires a very special and rare type of bait called Sunrise Cheese. This new cheese can be purchased from the Fort Rox Cheese Shoppe for 25 Dawn Dust per piece. It can also be purchased and sold on the Marketplace.
 
  
The Heart of the Meteor is brimming with enough energy to empower the mice attacking Fort Rox! Capturing this mouse will be nearly impossible unless until she has been weakened though multiple encounters. Each hunt you take within the meteor where you attract the Heart of the Meteor will weaken her, making her easier to catch each time your trap fails to capture her.
+
The following changes have happened in the Taiga:
 +
*Mice are no longer dropping Golem Parts or Pecan Pecorino
 +
*Mice in Cinnamon Hill are no longer dropping Compressed Cinnamon
  
After nine encounters with the Heart of the Meteor without leaving the meteor, her strength will be reduced to that of the puniest of mice in the Meadow and she will be practically impossible NOT to catch! If you're the type of hunter that likes to play it safe and be well prepared, bring a full 10 pieces of Sunrise Cheese!
+
The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:
 +
*Golems can still be built and sent out
 +
*Cinnamon can still power the Forges in the Golem Part Workshop
 +
*Hailstones can still be fired at the Ice Fortress</div>
  
*'''Sunrise Cheese'''
 
:This bait is the only cheese that will attract the Heart of the Meteor. It can be purchased from the Fort Rox Cheese Shoppe as well as the Marketplace.
 
  
*'''Heart of the Meteor'''
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will end completely on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 16, 2024'''</div>
:Each time you encounter this mouse, her strength will decrease. After nine encounters, she will be entirely drained of strength. Retreating from the portal at this point will allow this mouse to regain her strength, so make sure you're well prepared! When caught, the power of the portal will fade and you will find yourself transported back into the Dawn, as if no time had passed at all.
 
  
====Purchasing a Fort Rox Portal Projector====
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
A Portal Projector is made from three components: a Portal Core, a Portal Console, and plenty of Dawn Dust to fuse the two together. You can find the rare core and console by completing Fort Rox Treasure Maps. Dusting the map will double the chance of finding a projector component!
 
  
*'''Fort Rox Portal Core'''
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be '''removed from your inventory''':
:This pulsating core is tuned to Fort Rox and provides energy for the Fort Rox Portal Console.
+
*Golem Parts
*'''Fort Rox Portal Console'''
+
*Animated Snow
:This socketed console is tuned to Fort Rox and is awaiting a portal core to commence portal projecting.
+
*Reinforced Ice Shards
*'''Fort Rox Portal Projector'''
+
*Compressed Cinnamon
:The completed Fort Rox Portal Projector can purchased from the Fort Rox General Store for the cost of one Fort Rox Portal Core, one Fort Rox Portal Console, and 100 Dawn Dust. The resulting projector can then be used during Dawn at Fort Rox to enter the meteor itself! Keep an eye on the heads-up display after entering Dawn to use your projector!
+
*Hailstones
:'''Be warned:''' The intense power surge of projecting a portal will destroy your projector! Each Portal Projector can only be used once, meaning you'll need to purchase a new one each time you wish to enter the Heart of the Meteor. Ensure that you bring enough Sunrise Cheese with you to make the best of your time there!
+
*Firework Sugar Cookies
*'''Marketplace'''
+
*Magical Holiday Scarf
:Both the Fort Rox Portal Core and Fort Rox Portal Console can be purchased and sold on the Marketplace. Sell extra components you don't need, or purchase the half that you seek! Or, if you're not intrepid enough to seek out Portal Components, purchase both halves from treasure hunters that are not interested in hunting the Heart of the Meteor. Win-win!
+
*Golem Gift Box
  
 +
<div style="text-align: center;>'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 16!'''</div></div>
  
'''Remember: Your Portal Projector is destroyed upon entering the Heart of the Meteor and the power of the portal fades and ejects you from within once she is caught.
