====Festive Disaster!====

==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
−
<blockquote>
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
−
<p>There was great celebration and jubilee from veterans and novices alike as an unprecedented number of hunters gathered together to witness the Great Winter Star Ceremony near the Festive Comet. Throngs of happy hunters surrounded the massive Holiday Tree, ringed with glittering lights and tinsel. Under the broad evergreen branches sat a mountain of sightly gifts brought by the King to show his appreciation for the hard work of the hunters.</p>
 
  
−
<p>But just as the Winter Star was being raised, a booming of steel drums drowned out the cheers! Our veteran hunter's supply of spoiled eggnog from last year's Winter Hunt burst open, disgorging an indescribable odor and a cloud of choking nog-smoke! Those stalwart hunters who held their breath witnessed a league of mice rush to the tree, stripping it bare of lights, pillaging the King's special gifts, and even claiming the Winter Star itself!</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<p>It seems the mice may well have stolen away both festive cheer and cheese, but all hope is not lost! A few of our bravest hunters were so formidable they managed to tough out the eggnog stench, capturing as many mice as they could manage. Bribing these captured mice with delicious Gingerbread Cheese, they learnt that there are 12 mouse types working for 1 mysterious boss! All we know of this festi-villain is that he leaves eggnoggey footprints in the snow...</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<p>They have also learnt that the mice have a schedule for their devious plot, and the bosses will only reveal themselves if the minions fail. The King, working together with the hunters, has released a Royal Calender to coordinate our efforts.</p>

<p>Now it is up to you, brave hunter, to enter the Great Festive Hunt of 2010, capture the 12 mice of winter, defeat their noggy master and restore our holiday!</p>

====Restoring Holiday Cheer====

−
<blockquote>
+
''For older updates, visit the [[MHWiki:Current events/Archive|Archive]].''
−
<p>Over the course of December, we'll be releasing a new mouse to the Festive Comet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Mice, once released, will stay in the area as long as the Winter Hunt is active. As you catch these mice, lights in your holiday strand will turn on as you recover the spirit of the Winter Hunt. After all 12 are released and caught, the mysterious boss will be revealed and become available to you. We're told he likes his cheese as cold as his heart...</p>

=== King's Giveaway Wrap-up ===

''{{date|17|November|2010}}''
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Hey MouseHunters,</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>The King's giveaway has come to an end. It had been a long time since a giveaway was held and this one was quite different than previous giveaways.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>More than 160 Leprechauns were caught, worth cash prizes totaling $5,000. Congrats to Toby, our grand prize winner of $500. More than 1,500 Mobsters were caught worth a total of almost 150,000 SUPER|brie+. Finally, we had close to 150,000 winners of King's Credits totaling more than 2 million King's Credits.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Even though the King's Giveaway has ended, all of the prize mice can still be occasionally encountered. The King's Prize shoppe will remain open and your King's Credits can be cashed in at anytime. We plan on doing a few giveaways a year and will definitely be including the community before the launch of the next giveaway event.</p>
 
  
−
<p>If you've been playing for a while, you know how important your feedback is to us and how it helps shape future content and events. We've started a [http://forum.hitgrab.com/showthread.php?3841 thread] in the [http://forum.hitgrab.com/forumdisplay.php?13 Ideas and Suggestions] forum to collect feedback from players about the event. We've seen a lot of great ideas about how to improve King's Giveaways.</p>
 
−
 
−
<p>Based off the feedback we've been getting, we see how we could have done a better job of communicating the odds of winning, setting expectations about the rarity of prize mice and conveying what role prize power plays in attracting a prize mouse. We apologize if you were frustrated by this, and assure you we will do a better job of communicating for the next King's Giveaway.</p>
 
−
 
−
<p>We'll be taking the constructive feedback we've had during this event and making a few tweaks to the system to make it more fun. We plan on having another giveaway in the not too distant future with an improved and re-vamped system. Please visit the forums to leave your comments and feedback about the event to help make the next King's Giveaway something that everyone will enjoy.</p>

−
====How is this Giveaway Different from Previous Giveaways?====
 
−
 
 
−
<p>We've added three new prize mice that are worth King's Credits which can be redeemed at a prize shop for in-game items! These new prize mice are significantly less rare than Mobsters and Leprechauns. We hope that these new prize mice will make the giveaway more fun for everyone, with the oppurtunity for more people to win someting. This is obviously brand new to everyone and we welcome your feedback and suggestions on the forums to improve the next giveaway event!</p>

−
====Prize Mice Available====
 
  
−
<p>There are a variety of Prize Mice available, each worth different types of prizes! You can increase your odds of encountering a prize mouse by boosting a new stat called Prize Power. Keep reading to learn more about these mice and how to increase your Prize Power!</p>
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
−
<p>'''[[Treasurer Mouse]]'''<br/>
+
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 claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
−
Worth a few King's Credits</p>
 
  
−
<p>'''[[Snooty Mouse]]'''<br/>
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
−
Worth a bunch of King's Credits</p>
+
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
  
−
<p>'''[[High Roller Mouse]]'''<br/>
+
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
−
Worth tons of King's Credits! (JACKPOT!)</p>
 
  
−
<p>'''[[Mobster Mouse]] (Rare)'''<br/>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
−
Worth SUPER|brie+</p>
+
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
 +
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
−
<p>'''[[Leprechaun Mouse]] (Rare)'''<br/>
+
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
−
Worth cash!</p>
 
  
−
====How to Boost Your Prize Power====
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
  
−
<p>Prize Mice can be found in all locations except the Meadow. You can encounter a prize mouse by sounding your horn, or a friend sounding the horn and bringing you on a hunt. Boosting your Prize Power will increase your odds of encountering a prize mouse. You can boost your Prize Power by using any of four new special items that are available as gifts and loot. These items are: Lucky Coins, Lucky Horseshoes, Lucky Underwear and Beginner's Luck.</p>
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
 +
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
  
−
<p>'''[[Lucky Coin]]s'''<br/>
+
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
−
Found as loot dropped by any mouse. Visit a friend's profile and "toss" the coin into their Wishing Well and receive '''+3 Prize Power''' for both you and your friend. If your friend has less than five Prize Power, you'll both get '''+5 Prize Power'''. Alternatively, you can visit the "Special" section of your inventory and "rub" the coin to receive '''+1 Prize Power'''. You can hold a maximum of ten coins in your inventory, so make sure to check back often and use them up!</p>
 
  
−
<p>'''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s'''<br/>
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
−
Available as a gift of the day during the giveaway. Visit the "Special" section of your inventory to "toss" a horseshoe for a '''+3 Prize Power''' boost.</p>

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
−
If a friend joins the hunt as a new recruit, you'll receive some of their Beginner's Luck when they sound their horn for their very first time! Visit the "Special" section of your inventory and open a vial for a '''+8 Prize Power boost'''.</p>
 
  
−
====How Prize Power and Catching Prize Mice Works====
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
−
<p>Prize Power increases your chances of encountering a prize mouse, as well as increases the chances of encountering the more valuable Prize Mice. Treasurer Mice can be encountered with very little prize power, while High Roller require more prize power.</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
  
−
<p>Your Prize Power resets upon catching a prize mouse, as well as at the very end of the giveaway. As an added bonus, should you encounter a prize mouse and fail to capture it, you'll receive '''+1 Prize Power''' to help you encounter another!</p>
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
 +
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
  
−
<p>Should you catch a prize mouse and win '''[[King's Credits]]''', you will be unable to encounter that same type of prize mouse for 24 hours to both give other hunters a chance to win and increase your chances of encountering one of the other Prize Mice. Should you catch a Mobster or Leprechaun, you will be unable to encounter another one for 90 days.</p>
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.
  
−
====Prizes To Win:====
+
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
  
−
<p>Catching a Mobster Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''[[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]]'''. The cheese will be directly added to your inventory.</p>
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!
  
−
<p>Catching a Leprechaun Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''cash'''! That's right, REAL MONEY! All cash prizes are paid via PayPal, or can be redeemed for SUPER|brie+.</p>

If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
−
<p>'''See something you don't have enough King's Credits for?''' Don't worry! You'll be able to save your King's Credits for the next King's Giveaway event!</p>

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

====What are the New Trap Skins?====
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

<p>Start hunting for '''[[Lucky Coin]]s''' to "toss" into the [[Wishing Wells]] on your friends' profiles! You can use up to ten wells a day, as well as "rub" any extra coins you find to get even more Prize Power! Load up on '''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s''' and '''[[Lucky Underwear]]''' -- clicking the "wear all" for button Lucky Underwear not only gives you Prize Power, but makes a bold fashion statement as well ... stylin'! Remember: You need to visit the "Special" section of your inventory to activate these items and raise your Prize Power. Will you use them all at once? Or space out how often you use them? Plan out your strategy, Hunters!</p>

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

<p>Attention all MouseHunters!</p>

<p>An insane mouse has proclaimed itself to be the King of Halloween and has setup a spooky obstacle to protect itself from hunters! The King needs your help to explore this new haunted area and track down the pesky mouse at the heart of it all!</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
  
−
<p>In order to fully explore the Haunted Terrortories of Gnawnia, you'll need plenty of Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. You can collect these two new types of cheese by visiting up to 10 of your friends' hunter profiles a day to go Trick-or-Treating. Just click the "Trick-or-Treat" button to discover if your friend decided to trick, or treat you! You'll receive Ghoulgonzola for a trick, and Candy Corn Cheese for a treat. You can also collect both of these flavours of cheese by hunting mutated or Hollowhead mice at the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
+
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
  
−
<p>During the Halloween event Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese carry a very high attraction rate in not only the Haunted Terrortories, but many other hunting locations in the Kingdom. Their ability to attract mice is closely tied to the magic of the Haunted Terroroties, meaning they will be slightly less powerful when the Halloween event ends.</p>
+
As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
  
−
<p>When you arrive at the Haunted Terrortories you'll notice two new progress bars on your heads-up-display. These progress bars are filled by catching mice using Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. Trick AND treat enough mice to fill both bars in your current location to attract mice from the next! You TRICK mice using Ghoulgonzola and TREAT them with Candy Corn Cheese.</p>

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!</div>

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

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 claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

Vinneus Stalkhome Egg Dungeon Master Egg Malevolent Maestro Egg Mythical Giant King Egg
Magic Bean Egg Lavish Lapis Bean Egg Royal Ruby Bean Egg Golden Harp String Egg
Golden Goose Egg Egg Max Loot Multiplier Egg Love Egg

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 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 title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!
