=== Discover the Sunken City ===
 
''{{date|02|July|2014}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
  
A new city and hunting location has been discovered, deep under the Rodentia Ocean! This new, permanent hunting area for Count/Countess hunters contains 60 new mice, new Hydro traps, a powerful new base, and much more!
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 +
New Eggs and New Rewards!
  
====Sunken City Discovered in Rodentia====
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
Sandtail lore speaks of a city that was once perched on the far west cliffs of the desert until the arid soil cracked and shifted, causing the city to slide into the water. The story was long thought to merely be a popular tale perpetuated by thirsty desert denizen, fascinated by a city with access to an infinite supply of water. However, it appears the stories are true, as an ancient Sunken City has been discovered just off the coast near Daredevil Canyon!
+
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!
  
====Learning to Enter the Sunken City====
+
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!
Traveling down to the city requires knowledge of its layout, which can learned by purchasing a Sunken Souvenir from the Muridae Market Cartographer. The souvenir is an accurate model of the city, allowing a hunter to learn the best means with which to approach the underwater city and the location of the airlock to safely enter it once there. The souvenir is made of high-quality Sandtail glass, and as such, the Cartographer there will ask to be compensated with 90 Molten Glass in exchange for the souvenir. However, during the first week of the city's discovery, the Cartographer is offering the souvenir for merely the gold cost. How generous!
 
  
====Preparing for Underwater Exploration====
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
Although not much is known about the Sunken City, one thing is clear: It's not immune to the mouse invasion consuming the rest of the Kingdom! The mice in the city have been exploring the ocean, recruiting the aquatic mice there and gathering underwater resources. The King needs you to use a state-of-the-art totally fully-tested and safe to use submersible sea shuttle to explore the deep sea in order to see how far the reach of the Sunken City goes and to stop those mice waiting to strike from the sea!
+
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!
  
Your ultimate goal is to travel as far along the ocean floor as possible, researching powerful mice and finding the valuable loot they carry. Achieving this is no simple task, however, and will require some careful planning.
+
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.
  
Upon arriving at the Sunken City, your first task will be to prepare to explore the ocean floor. You'll have access to a sea shuttle to explore, however, you'll need an ample supply of Oxygen Canisters in order to brave the ocean depths to hunt the mice that live underwater. Oxygen Canisters can be collected by hunting mice within the Sunken City. At first, not many mice will be attracted to your bait, however, after exploring the ocean you'll be able to craft a much more effective type of bait -- Fishy Fromage.
+
<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>
  
====Conducting Underwater Exploration====
+
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!
Once you have some Oxygen Canisters stockpiled, you can begin a dive. Exiting the airlock in the city will consume 10 Oxygen Canisters, so make sure you have enough to make your exploration worthwhile before diving -- about 100 for your first dive will last you a good day or two of underwater hunting! Once you exit the city into the water, each hunt you take will consume one Oxygen Canister. Successfully capturing a mouse will reveal a good portion of the seafloor ahead, moving your submersible forward by 30 meters. Failing to capture a mouse will reveal much less, moving your submersible forward by only 10 meters. Finally, failing to attract a mouse will not reveal any new territory, meaning your submersible will not move at all.
 
  
As you move forward you'll discover different areas of the ocean floor, each with a unique population of mice and loot to explore! There are a lot of mice and a ton of loot to be found, including materials needed to craft the valuable Fishy Fromage, which will dramatically help you resupply for your next dive!
+
'''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 Rodentia Ocean is quite expansive. In fact, you'll likely find that it seems quite endless! There does not appear to be any limit to how far away from the city your submersible can travel, however, take caution as the further out you go, the more powerful the mice you'll encounter! That said, with great risk comes great reward, meaning the further out you go, the more valuable loot there is to be found! Carefully managing your diving supplies will be crucial to routinely reaching far depths of exploration.
+
==== 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'''.
  
====Fishy Fromage and Resupplying====
+
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'''.
While exploring the ocean, you'll find Damaged Coral Fragments, Mouse Scales, and Barnacles. These ingredients can be exchanged at the shop (or crafted together) to create Fishy Fromage! Although this unique "flavour" of cheese smells horrible, the mice within the Sunken City cannot resist it, making it the best bait for collecting Oxygen Canisters to resupply in between dives. Use Fishy Fromage while in between dives to attract new types of mice in the Sunken City which drop Oxygen Canisters much more frequently and in greater quantities.
 
  
Fishy Fromage is so effective at collecting Oxygen Canisters that after several dives you may find yourself with an ample supply of the bait. Fortunately, the Charm Shoppe in the Sunken City provides another use for your underwater loot in the form of an extremely powerful Water Jet Charm. Capturing a mouse while having a Water Jet armed will propel your submersible forward by 500 meters! They're rather expensive, however, so make sure to choose when to use them wisely and balance your supply of Fishy Fromage and Water Jet Charms carefully!
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
  
====Sunken City Shopkeepers====
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
The shopkeepers within the Sunken City deal in more than just Gnawnian Gold. Some of their wares cost loot items, including a currency unique to the Sunken City called Sand Dollars. Sand Dollars can be found during diving expeditions along with various other loot items that will help you become a diving expert!
 
  
'''[[Tidal Base]]'''
+
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'''!
Harnessing the power of ocean currents, the Tidal Base adds an impressive 800 Power to your trap along with a generous 8% Power Bonus!
 
  
'''[[Rune Shark Trap]]'''
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
The King had one simple request. And that was to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently the aquatic trapsmiths have informed the King that such a thing can indeed be done. Better yet, the runes within the shark provide power to their "hover fins", making this trap equally effective on land!
 
  
'''[[School of Sharks]]'''
+
<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>
This is it: The Hydro trap that has it all. If sharks with lasers were not intimidating enough, how about an entire school of sharks with upgraded lasers and the latest in mouse-tracking projectiles? The School of Sharks Trap is the pinnacle of Hydro traps. In fact, it's hard to imagine anything surpassing it! With 9,850 Power, 15% Power Bonus, and +30 Luck, the School of Sharks can be challenging to control, requiring a high level of hunting experience: 450,000,000 points worth, to be exact, but it's absolutely worth the training to use such an amazing trap!
 
  
'''[[Water Jet Charm]]s'''
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
These projectile charms provide a massive output boost to your submersible's propellers while exploring the ocean, launching you forward by 500 meters upon catching a mouse! However, they're rather expensive. Carefully planning how often you equip these, and where to use them, is key to routinely reaching great distances underwater.
+
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!
  
'''[[Predatory Processor]]'''
+
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.
These futuristic segmented processing units can be used to upgrade the Rune Shark Trap into a formidable School of Sharks! The assembly process is conducted inside of a secretive, specialized cleanroom within the Sunken City, meaning you'll need to have the local Trapsmith assemble the upgrade, rather than craft it yourself.
 
  
These powerful processors can be purchased using Sand Dollars, or on rare occasion, found as loot drops from the most powerful mice in the far depths of the ocean.
+
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…
  
'''Underwater Loot Lunch Packs'''
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
The General Store is stocked for hungry hunters and mice alike! Have way too many of one type of ocean loot and no where near enough of others? Exchange your excess loot using gold and a Sand Dollar for something you need instead!
+
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!

Compete with friends, or against all hunters, for longest distance traveled, most catches during a dive, most Oxygen Canisters and Water Jet Charms consumed in total. What strategy will you pursue? Will you stockpile tons of Oxygen Canisters, or skillfully employ Water Jet Charms to reach new and awesome lengths?
+
==== 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.
  
====Underwater Supply Kits====
+
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.
To help in you underwater exploration efforts, the King has put together a few supply kits and gift baskets stocked with SUPER|brie+ and a few fishy supplies!
 
  
'''[[Sunken Gift Basket]]'''

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life.

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!

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!

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!
