CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
A particularly massive eruption from the Queso Geyser has filled the Kingdom with a light mist of delicious queso, causing mice everywhere to occasionally drop a new type of Spring Hunt Egg: The Dragonshard Egg.
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Dragonshard Eggs can be looted anywhere throughout the Kingdom by hunters with the rank of Initiate of above. More difficult to catch mice drop the egg a bit more often.

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Each Dragonshard Egg contains some modest Queso Canyon hunting supplies along with a valuable piece of its shell called a Dragonshard. These exotic fragments are sought after by a variety of tradespeople and can be exchanged at any General Store, Charm Shoppe, or Cartographer for various rewards.

====Spring Hunt Ends Next Week====
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
The Spring Egg Hunt will come to an end on Tuesday, April 30. This is the same day that the King's Royal Geologists will complete their survey of Queso Geyser, allowing Count/Countess and up hunters with the area model to access the location as a hunting area.
+
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
  
'''Prepare for the impending Draconic Invasion, hunters!'''
+
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.
  
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
  
===The Spring Egg Hunt Begins!===
 
''{{date|09|April|2019}}''
 
  
It's that time of the year again! The Spring Egg Hunt is back in town!

<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>
  
====Hidden Spring Hunt Eggs====
+
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
  
Mice throughout the Kingdom are carrying special eggs containing tasty treats of bonus loot! Travel throughout the Kingdom and hunt mice in search of these hidden eggs, then crack them open to see what's inside!
+
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>
  
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can purchase one from the King for 10,000 gold from the special Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. Or, you can track down the Eggscavator Mouse in areas throughout the Kingdom to find one for free.
 
  
====Marshmallow Monterey Stockpiles and Spring Hunt Event Mice====
+

The changing of the season has attracted several event mice to certain locations. These hunting spots are home to "stockpiles" of Marshmallow Monterey -- a special cheese that will lure event mice to your trap.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
To collect Marshmallow Monterey, visit one of the stockpile locations (listed below) and hunt as you normally would there to collect Marshmallow Monterey as loot.
+
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
 +

This year something new comes to the Spring Egg Hunt: The MouseHunt Eggsweeper Mini-Game! How Eggs-ilarating!
 
 
 
Eggsweeper is a brand new mini-game made in the spirit of Minesweeper. You have 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards!
 
 
 
Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter rank.
 
 
 
Eggsweeper Egg Tiers by Title Range:
 
 
 
  • Tier 1: Novice to Journeyman/Journeywoman
 
  • Tier 2: Master to Lord/Lady
 
  • Tier 3: Baron/Baronness and Count/Countess
 
  • Tier 4: Duke/Duchess and up
 
 
 
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to the hunter ranks.
 
 
 
You can find 10 Eggsweeper Shovels inside of this year's Golden Egg. You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest or purchase them from the Premium Store.

====General Interface Changes====
 
 
 
The Unfilled Spring Egg Carton has been retired and can no longer be filled with eggs. Due to this, we have temporarily frozen trade for it on the Marketplace. It can now be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer for 150 SB+.
 
 
 
In addition to the Spring Hunt release, we have also done some quality of life updates to sending supplies. You are now able to send and receive supplies to and from all hunters, regardless of friend status! There is a new setting in the Game Settings tab of the User Preferences page that will allow you to receive supplies from anyone. By default, this setting is disabled.
 
 
 
You may also notice some changes to how your "Special" inventory is organized. Some older event currencies and equipment have been moved to a new "Vintage" section, and others may have been shuffled around to more accurately organize your inventory.
 
 
 
====Spring Egg Hunt!====
 
*'''Find eggs throughout the Kingdom!'''
 
*'''Collect Marshmallow Monterey in major hunting hubs'''
 
*'''Hunt event mice for Eggscavator Charms'''
 
*'''Charge your Eggscavator to find Charge Eggs!'''
