==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and everything is getting spookier! This can only mean one thing: Halloween is here, and the Haunted Terrortories are back!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
This year, a terrifying new mouse has charged out of the Corn Maze, torn through the Haunted Manor, and made her home in the middle of the Pumpkin Patch. You'll have to carefully retrace her path in order to challenge her and take her most prized possession!
+

==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
To chase down this maniacal mouse, you're going to need both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese. Your friends can help you! Simply visit the profile of up to 10 of your friends, "Trick-or-Treat" while you're there, and get some free cheese. Make sure to [[Profile|visit your own profile]] and choose what type of cheese you're handing out!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Still doesn't feel like you have enough cheese? Just hunt using Swiss, Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ at the Haunted Terrortories to attract Hollowhead mice, which are known to drop both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese.
+

====Tricking and Treating====
+
----
Got your cheese? Good! Arm it and start capturing mice at the Haunted Terrortories. When you catch a mouse with Candy Corn, you'll treat that mouse, and when you catch a mouse with Ghoulgonzola, you'll trick them! Trick and treat enough mice and you can progress through the Terrortories. Move through the Corn Maze, the Haunted Manor, and the Pumpkin Patch, then catch both the Trick Mouse and Treat Mouse, and you'll have a shot at catching the new menace of the Haunted Terrortories!
 
  
====A Very Charming Celebration====
+
</blockquote> -->
Looking for more of a challenge? Arm Spooky Charms and you'll start attracting more difficult mice that will require more powerful types of traps. Want an '''even harder''' challenge? Try arming Extra Spooky Charms! You'll need to be a Count/Countess to arm these charms, and you'll want a powerful Rift trap to catch the mice you attract! You can purchase both of these charms from the Charm Shoppe for a combination of Halloween Cheese and gold.

Two new challenges this year have been added for hunters of all ranks! If you encounter the Candy Cat Mouse while hunting, he'll drop a Candy Charm.

She'll drop a Shortcut Charm, which will give you a chance to zip ahead on your current track in the Terrortories. But watch out! There's also a small chance you'll fall back, too!

=== Another Perilous Rift Opens! ===
 
''{{date|9|September|2014}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
  
A second rift has opened, and this time it menaces hunters in the Burroughs region!
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 
+
New Eggs and New Rewards!
====The Burroughs Rift Opens====
 
The connection between our realm and the realm of the rift is strengthening — sufficiently so that a new rift has formed in the upper floors of the Laboratory. Mice of immense strength and eerie familiarity have come pouring forth amidst tendrils of mysterious mist, and the help of the strongest hunters in the land is needed to defeat them!
 
 
 
Hunters of Duke/Duchess and above should answer the call, but be ready! These mice are some of the strongest ever encountered and will test your setup and your patience!
 
  
====Be Prepared!====
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
The mice you'll encounter in this rift are some of the most powerful ever seen and will require dedication and preparation to capture reliably. Before you head in, ask yourself:
+
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!
  
* Do you have an appropriate trap? A Rift Power type trap?
+
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!
* Do you have a powerful base? With the Rift Base, you can activate two-thirds of the Riftwalker Set bonus, which you'll definitely want to have!
 
* Do you have some powerful charms? The store here can help you out, and you'll need all the help you can get!
 
* What about String cheese? Are you fully stocked up?
 
  
If you find yourself lacking any of these qualities, fix it quickly or these mice will tear your trap apart! If you think you're ready, however, read on...
+
==== 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!
  
====Venture Deep Into The Mist, But Not Too Deep!====
+
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.
A strange mist curls around the edges of this rift, and mouse-shaped shadows dance just out of sight. Clearly, the mist is the key to sorting out these new mice.
 
  
While you hunt with string cheese, you'll attract more powerful versions of Laboratory mice that drop Mist Canisters which are filled with a strange gas the mice clearly desire. Once you collect enough of them, you can start releasing them into the air and start attracting more powerful ('''and profitable''') mice!
+
<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>
  
Every hunt you take while misting will release one mist into the air, to a maximum of twenty. Every hunt you take while '''not''' misting, will reduce the mist by one. There's an optimal level of mist you'll want to keep in the air, of course. Too little, and you'll only attract the weaker mice. Too much, and you'll attract huge bruisers that will ruin your day! Just enough, and you'll attract mice that reward you with gold and loot in excellent quantities.
+
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!
  
Like with anything, try to keep it in the green!
+
'''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.
  
====New Types Of Mice====
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
The moment you're in the mist, you'll notice new mice are attracted to your trap, spooky monsters reminiscent of the mice of the Mousoleum. These mice are harder and are worth more gold, but more importantly, they drop potions, which allow you to create Terre Ricotta cheese.
+
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'''.
  
Stock up enough potions and craft this cheese, then equip it to attract Digby-esqe terrors that are worth scads of points and gold. These mice also drop potions, but these potions are used to craft the rare and dangerous Polluted Parmesan!
+
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'''.
  
Polluted Parmesan is special. You know it, Larry knows it, and the toxic mice of the Rift know it. Specifically... The Menace of the Rift Mouse knows it. He '''craves''' it. But you'll have to brave the very highest levels of mist in order to attract him, and you'll have to battle past the bullies that hang around with him in order to catch him in order to capture the treasure he holds dear.
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
  
====New Charms With Fantastic Power====
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
Your reward for capturing the Menace Of The Rift Mouse is his powerful Null Gauntlet — a protective device that allows you to safely handle the awesome powers of the Rift, and equip the Rift Vacuum Charms that are available for sale in the Charm Shoppe.
 
  
These charms will become exceptionally important to you in your hunting career. As a Rift Charm, they allow you to complete your Riftwalker Set for the full bonus, getting a whopping +5 Luck. More importantly, they'll allow you to collect Calcified Rift Mist upon catching a rift mouse, which you'll need to craft all further Rift Charms.
+
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'''!
  
In fact, the Charm Shoppe currently sells an Erupting Rift Core that you can combine with the Calcified Rift Mist to create a Rift Power Charm that grants an astounding 500 Power and 5% Power Bonus!
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
====Use Your New Power Wisely====
+
<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>
You'll need that Power Bonus, because your final goal in this rift is a doozie! Remember the bruisers you avoided before? Now you need to hunt them down! Every mouse exclusive to the dangerous levels of mist drops a piece of Rift Circuitry when captured, which you can combine with a smashed Crystal Tower trap to create one of two new Rift Power traps!
 
  
'''[[Multi-Crystal Laser]]''': With 100 more Power than the Crystal Tower and 3 Luck, this trap is great for hunting the majority of rift mice. The Luck provided makes all the difference against lower-power mice, making this trap your first choice for general rift hunting.
+
==== 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!
  
'''[[Focused Crystal Laser]]''': With 850 more power than the Crystal Tower, this is your boss-hunting trap. Big, tough mice will fall more easily than to the Multi-Crystal Laser, and the 5% Power Bonus from the Rift Power Charm increases this even more!
+
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.
  
====Rift Burroughs Supply Kits====
+
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…
Counter the amazing power of the Burroughs Rift mice with some supply kits aimed at kickstarting your hunting quest!
 
  
'''15 [[Magical String Cheese]]'''<br/>
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
15 Pieces of Magical String Cheese<br/>
+
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!

=== Strange Sighting at the Windmill ===
 
''{{date|2|September|2014}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
 
 
In and amongst all the high-level Noble challenges that have presented themselves this year, it appears that a smaller threat has surfaced in one of the relatively safer hunting areas in the Kingdom. Although veteran hunters can easily dispatch this mouse, the King nevertheless takes any mouse threat seriously and is calling upon all hunters to track down this new breed! For newer hunters, this mouse presents the perfect opportunity to learn new hunting techniques while on their path to becoming a seasoned veteran.
 
 
 
====Luring Captain Croissant====
 
There is only one type of cheese capable of attracting a walking bread incarnate: Grilled Cheese. The perfect combination of gooey cheese and crispy bread is absolutely irresistible!
 
 
 
Unfortunately, a critical ingredient in the bread for the Grilled Cheese is flour which is quite difficult to obtain without a properly functioning Windmill. You'll need to recover Packets of Flour from the mice at the Windmill and exchange it at the Cheese Shoppe for pieces of Grilled Cheese. Capturing several mice each hour helps the Windmill operate more efficiently, increasing its flour production, and increasing the quantity and frequency of Packets of Flour loot drops!
 
 
 
If you leave the Windmill for too long, it will begin to slow down! Keep hunting until the breaded tyrant is caught to restore the Windmill to its former glory. Once you've captured the Captain Croissant Mouse, the Windmill will be able to operate at full efficiency, making flour easier to obtain.
 
 
 
Once you have your hands some ooey gooey Grilled Cheese, arm your trap with it to attract the Captain Croissant Mouse! Once captured, the Windmill will be back under the King's control!
 
 
 
====Updated Treasure Maps====
 
With the discovery of a new Indigenous breed of mouse, newly opened Treasure Map Scroll Cases may occasionally challenge a hunter to track down a Captain Croissant Mouse. If you're looking to hunt down a Captain Croissant while treasure hunting, keep an eye out for an Easy or Medium difficulty map which have a small chance to show the Captain Croissant Mouse. As always, Rare Map Dust will increase the rewards earned for completing a map!

<blockquote>

+

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!

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!
