Hunt down any of the mice in the Year of the Dragon Festival event location to find [[Firecracker Charm]]s, or receive a small amount in your [[Loyalty Chest]]s. These charms are only a small part of the fireworks display, but using them will help attract more of the mice in the area carrying the bigger explosives. Find several of these charms, equip them, then seek out the [[Costumed Tiger]] Mouse for some [[Nitropop Potion]]s!
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
  
These volatile concoctions are required to create [[Nitropop Charm]]s. Be extremely careful when handling these bottles of explosive liquid! Use these potions to convert Firecracker Charms into Nitropop Charms. The bigger the explosion, the bigger the mouse you attract! Keep the celebrations going by finding and creating bigger and bolder blasts!

===Tournament Hall Grand Opening===
 
''{{date|12|January|2012}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
After a lengthy construction process, the King's [[Tournament Hall]] has opened its doors to hunters!
 
 
The Tournament Hall is located in Valour and has a variety of shoppes where you can exchange your Tournament Tokens for hunting loot and equipment.
 
 
====Tournament Bases====
 
 
The King has commissioned the creation of three new bases as rewards for the most dedicated of tournament competitors!
 
 
Although these bases have impressive stats on their own, they really shine when armed with a [[Champion Charm]]. Along with the extra luck a charm provides, each tournament base gains a lucky glow when armed with a Champion Charm.
 
  
'''Bronze Tournament Base'''
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 +
New Eggs and New Rewards!
  
The Bronze Tournament Base is a reward for hunters who have shown they are capable of competing in hunting tournaments. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +2 luck, for a '''total of 10 luck'''!
+
==== 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!
  
'''Silver Tournament Base'''
+
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!
  
The Silver Tournament Base is a reward for hunters who have shown not only their ability to compete in hunting tournaments, but their dedication to winning tournaments. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +3 luck, for a '''total of 13 luck'''!
+
==== 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!
  
'''Golden Tournament Base'''
+
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.
  
The Golden Tournament Base is a reward that is renowned as a symbol of a seasoned tournament competitor. Only the most dedicated of hunters dare set the goal of obtaining this opulent base. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +4 luck, for a '''total of 15 luck'''!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''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.'''</div>
  
Champion Charms can be purchased from the Tournament Hall [[General Store#Tournament Hall General Store|General Store]], where they sell a pack of 12 for 1 Tournament Token. Using Champion Charms with a Tournament Base allow a hunter to reach the highest level of luck possible, so stock up!<br />(Note that this is incorrect, the highest possible luck can only be reached by arming [[Ultimate Luck Charm]]s.)
+
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!
  
====Champion Trap Skins====
+
'''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.
  
Along with bases, you'll also find new trap skins at the Tournament Hall [[Trapsmith#Tournament Hall Trapsmith|Trapsmith]]. These champion skins are unique to tournaments and are the perfect way to show off your tournament skill!
+
==== 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'''.
  
Right now the Tournament Hall has four unique skins in stock, however, the Trapsmith there is eager to work on new ones soon!
+
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'''.
  
====Champion Kits====
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
  
The General Store at the Tournament Hall is stocked with plenty of special Champion Kits that contain loot and items to help you in various areas. From the dark and gloomy Mousoleum, to the intense battlefield of Furoma, all the way to the dark shadows of the Jungle of Dread!
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
  
Most Champion Kits only cost a handful of Tournament Tokens and will no doubt come in handy when you need that extra boost of supplies while competing, or want to save time collecting resources in an area.
+
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'''!
  
====Other News====
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
*The [[Vacant Lot]] has now closed, any hunters remaining in the area have been escorted out.
+
<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>
*With the Vacant Lot closed, hunters can no longer spend Ice Coins or claim Winter Hunt rewards.
 
*The King has created the King's Arms -- a special location in Valour where you can spend King's Credits.
 
*Mousoleum Mastery tournaments now reward hunters for capturing Lycan Mice.
 
*Going forward, tournaments will occasionally be scheduled with three and five member limits.
 
  
====Tournament Supply Kit====
+
==== 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!
  
Looking for a competitive edge? This basket is packed with supplies to help you compete in tournaments! Inside you'll find 50 {{SB}}, 50 Champion Charms and a 1 month Luck Golden Shield!
+
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.
  
====Tournament Hall Opens!====
+
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…
*Spend your Tournament Tokens at the Tournament Hall
 
*Unique bases and skins available

==== 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!

===Great Winter Hunt comes to an end===
+
==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
''{{date|9|January|2012}}''
+
'''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.
<blockquote>
 
====Festive Comet has melted====
 
  
The Festive Comet and Snow Fortress have both melted, marking the end of the Great Winter Hunt. Toy Parts can no longer be found and hunters will no longer receive Festive Feta in their loyalty chests.
+
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.
  
The various Festive Shoppes that were at the Festive Comet have remained open in the Vacant Lot that now stands where the comet did. These shoppes will remain open until Thursday, January 12th to allow hunters to spend their collection of Ice Coins.
+
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!
  
Now is the time to travel to the Vacant Lot and spend your Ice Coins! On Thursday, the Vacant Lot will close and you will no longer be able to spend Ice Coins.

====Tournament Hall construction resumes====
+
==== Supplies and Eggcessories ====
 +
The King has assembled this eggsquisite collection of bundles and kits to help you find the most eggs ''and'' the most Chocolatonium!
  
With the Snow Fortress now melted and the Mad Elf Mouse no longer in control, construction of the King's Tournament Hall can finally resume! Perhaps most exciting is the rate of progress; the workers estimate the hall will be completed sometime this week!

With the Festive Comet melted and the the Snow Fortress gone, Calamity Carl has put together one final checklist to help hunters ensure they've claimed all their rewards.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 150%;">'''''IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:'''''</div>
 +
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.
  
*'''Visit the shoppes at the Vacant Lot in Gnawnia and spend your Ice Coins'''
+
<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.
  
*'''Claim the two Limited Edition traps: The Nutcracker Nuisance and 2012 Big Boom Trap'''
+
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
  
*'''Convert left over Festive Feta into Winter Charms, which have a +4 luck bonus that can be used year-round!'''
+
As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
  
====Remember, hunters: You must claim your rewards before Thursday, January 12th.====
+
Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!</div>
  
We hope everyone enjoyed this year's Great Winter Hunt and are excited to have everyone join us for the grand opening of the King's Tournament Hall in Valour!

===Great Winter Hunt Ends this Monday===

__NOTOC__
''{{date|5|January|2012}}''
+
__NOEDITSECTION__
<blockquote>
 
====Festive Comet begins to melt====
 
 
 
The [[Festive Comet]] and [[Snow Fortress]] are beginning to slowly melt, meaning it will not be long before both are reduced to large puddles, marking the end of the Great Winter Hunt!
 
 
 
At their current rate of decay, the Scientists of [[Digby]] have determined that both the comet and fortress will be gone sometime Monday, January 9th.
 
 
 
After the Festive Comet has melted, an area called the [[Vacant Lot]] will be in its place where the Festive Shoppes shall remain open for another few days to allow hunters to spend any and all [[Ice Coin]]s they earned during the event. Make sure you spend your Ice Coins before the Festive Shoppes close!
 
 
 
====A Festive Hunting Checklist====
 
 
 
There was certainly much to do this Great Winter Hunt! To aide hunters, [[Calamity Carl]] has put together a quick checklist you can use to make sure you've done all there is to do!
 
 
 
*Collect 500 [[Toy Receipt]]s and claim the [[Nutcracker Trap Blueprints]]
 
 
 
*Open the gifts friends left for you on your hunting [[profile]]
 
 
 
*Peek in your team stocking and claim gifts left for you
 
 
 
*Hunt in the [[Snow Fortress]] and capture the [[Mad Elf Mouse]]

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!

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!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

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.

As of April 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
