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!
-- {{MHP|501789245|Giorgio Sintichakis}}
+
 
</blockquote>
+
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.
 +
 
 +
<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>
 +
 
 +
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'''!
 +
 
 +
<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>
 +
 
 +
==== 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!

 +
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.
 +
 
 +
<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.
 +
 
 +
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
  
=== Iceberg, Dead Ahead! ===
+
As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
''{{date|14|May|2012}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
==== Iceberg, Dead Ahead! ====
 
<p>It is confirmed: This is a full-scale mousey invasion. A large iceberg, visible from the Slushy Shoreline, has appeared off the coast of Gnawnia. And it's moving closer.</p>
 
<p>The King is calling all capable hunters to head to the Slushy Shoreline and begin the upgrade of the S.S. Huntington II. If we're going to get through all of this ice, we'll need to reinforce the hull of the Huntington in order to break through to the Iceberg.</p>
 
<p>Head to the Slushy Shoreline and collect Interlocking Hull Fragments to upgrade the Huntington and gain access to the Iceberg! This will take a joint effort on the part of all available hunters, so do not delay!</p>
 
<p>The King and all of Gnawnia are counting on you!</p>
 
<p><b>Interlocking Hull Fragment</b></p>
 
<p>This minuscule fragment is designed to connect with a multitude of other fragments to form an enormous hull-mounted icebreaker for the S.S. Huntington II.</p>
 
<p>The S.S. Huntington II will require '''1.5 million hull fragments''', a collective effort across all MouseHunters.</p>
 
<p>When all of the fragments have been collected and the hull has been reinforced, the new Huntington will be able to break through the ice and bring hunters to the Iceberg.</p>
 
==== Chilly Charms ====
 
<p><b>Softserve Charms</b></p>
 
<p>This tiny charm emanates a sweet vanilla odour that is irresistible to mice who have gotten sick of smelling stale salt air on a long ocean voyage.</p>
 
<p>When equipped on the Slushy Shoreline, more powerful mice carrying more valuable equipment will be attracted to your trap.</p>
 
<p>Use these charms to attract mice carrying special loot items used to purchase new traps!.</p>
 
==== A New Trap ====
 
<p><b>Steam Laser Mk. I</b></p>
 
<p>Like a fog machine mixed with a laser lightshow, the Steam Laser Mark I is both effective and awesome. Even mice not directly struck by the Steam Laser Mark I's beam stop in their tracks, engrossed in the incredible lightshow before them.</p>
 
<p>This combination of hot and hydro works especially well on the Slushy Shoreline and in the Iceberg. It receives a '''power and luck bonus''' in both of these areas.</p>
 
<p>Use Softserve Charms to attract mice carrying the special loot items needed to purchase this from the Trapsmith!</p>
 
==== Building and Hunting ====
 
<p><b>Slushy Crafting Kit</b></p>
 
<p>This crafting kit holds items useful in the Slushy Shoreline and beyond. Use the crafting items to craft new weapons and bases, or smash them with the Hunter's Hammer to get some War Scraps. Inside you'll find 1 Wire Spool, 1 Heating Oil, 1 Frosty Metal, as well as 1 '''random''' crafting item from these three! Provides the Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month when opened.</p>
 
<p>[http://www.mousehuntgame.com/buy.php?hgref=icyrevenge2012 '''GET ONE NOW!''']</p>
 
<p><b>Shoreline Supplies</b></p>
 
<p>This crate of icy supplies holds useful hunting items for the Slushy Shoreline and beyond. Inside you'll find 125 SUPER|brie+, 75 Softserve Charms, 1 Wire Spool, 1 Heating Oil, and 1 Frosty Metal! Provides the Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month when opened.</p>

<p>Hunters with the '''rank of Lord/Lady''' who are brave enough to fight on this new front should visit the Cartographer in the Harbour. There, hunters may obtain an official document to prove their worth against these icy foes, which licenses them to join the effort in pushing back the invaders.</p>
 
<p>The King fears this is only a small taste of what is to come. All hunters are urged to be ready and armed to face an even greater incoming threat...</p>
 
==== Re-Supply and Demand ====
 
<p><b>War Supplies</b></p>
 
<p>These supplies are carried by the less-common mice invading the chilly shores of Gnawnia. The mice have raided the King's private hunting supply, including some of his SUPER|brie+ and King's Credits, and are using these supplies against the hunters on the shores.</p>
 
<p>This extra loot will only be around for a week, so catch as many of these mice as you can!</p>
 
<p><b>War Scraps</b></p>
 
<p>In light of the new invasion force, the King has begun construction of a new shop to arm hunters against this icy front. The shop will be stocked with supplies that will aid hunters in preparing for this assault and many of its items will be exchangeable for the War Scraps taken off the mice attacking the castle walls.</p>

__NOEDITSECTION__
<blockquote>
 
==== An Icy Chill Fills the Air... ====
 
<p>Reports have been coming in from all over Gnawnia and the rest of the kingdom about what is being tentatively called an "invasion force", a phrase the King's messengers have been dismissing.</p>
 
<p>Nevertheless, the King has ordered a state of high alert. Hunters are ordered to find and capture as many of these mice as possible to prevent a crisis and to learn as much about them as possible.</p>
 
<p>So far, one thing is for certain: Hunters have agreed that these mice seem to come from colder climates, and are susceptible to water-based traps. The King urges hunters to be ready and at their best.</p>
 
<p><b>War Scraps</b></p>
 
<p>The new mice have been dropping these scraps. Perhaps collecting them will lead to some clues about their origins?</p>
 
==== Survival and Surveillence ====
 
<p><b>Warpath Kit</b></p>
 
<p>The Warpath Kit has made a return in order to aide hunters against the currently-invading Marching Flame. Eligible and capable hunters should report to the Sandtail Desert to strike another blow for the Kingdom whilst ensuring they have obtained all useful upgrades to their hunting equipment.</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!

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!
