==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
 +
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
  
==== Love is in the Air! ====
+
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.
All throughout Gnawnia, hunters and mice alike are cozying up to one another and even Larry has been seen carving a heart into the Great Gnarled Tree.
 
  
The outburst of affection has caused some mice to pair off, possibly explaining the near endless population of mice. During this outburst of affection, you may find yourself catching two mice at the same time!
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
  
While hunting anywhere in the Kingdom, you can encounter a mouse that has paired off with a Valentine's Event Mouse. Should this occur, you'll capture '''both mice with a single piece of cheese!''' Keep an eye on your Hunter's Journal for an especially lovely looking entry when this occurs.
 
  
==== Lovely Loot Opportunities ====

When capturing a Valentine's Event Mouse that has paired off with another, you'll find a variety of attractive loot items including Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, Ultimate Luck Charms, collectibles, and more!
+
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
  
==== Attractive Treasure Maps ====
+
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>
  
Visit any Cartographer throughout the Kingdom to pick up a Valentine's Matchmaker Scroll Case to search out treasure hidden by the Valentine's event mice!
 
  
Completing the map will reveal the location of a Valentine's Matchmaker Treasure Chest containing Points, Gold, Valentine Charms, Lucky Valentine Charms, King's Credits, and Ancient Charms. With some luck you may also find one of eight unique tradable trap skins!

With Valentine's mice encountered '''anywhere''' in the Kingdom, these maps are a great opportunity to work with fellow hunters of any rank!
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
==== Sweet Gift Boxes and More ====

==== 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

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.
