====Explore Queso Geyser====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
−
The King's Royal Geologists have completed their survey of Queso Geyser, allowing hunters with the Queso Geyser Replica Clay Model to access the geyser as a new hunting location!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
The frequent eruptions of molten queso have attracted all sorts of powerful Draconic mice to the area! Working with Larry, the King's Geologists have devised a plan for luring these high-flying beasts towards a trap. Three words: Massive. Geyser. Corks.
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
Collect Cork Bark held by various mice native to the geyser to construct an impressively-sized cork to stick in the geyser. Then, defend your newly constructed cork from mice to allow the pressure to build to massive levels and trigger impressive eruptions of liquid cheese.
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
Once an eruption occurs, powerful breeds of Draconic mice will swoop down from the sky towards the airborne queso and come within range of your trap. The constant flow of molten cheese will make collecting loot too dangerous, however, each item a dragon drops will go into a nest that you can safely loot once the eruption subsides.
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
  
−
Some members of the King's Royal Council have expressed concern over the idea of constructing enormous corks to temporarily seal the geyser and build cheesy pressure in an already unstable section of ground, but the geologists have assured us that it's *perfectly* safe...
+
----
  
−
====Types of Geyser Corks====
+
</blockquote> -->
−
There are four different varieties of cork you can construct to withstand different levels of pressure and, as a result, trigger differently-sized queso eruptions. The larger the eruption, the larger (and more lucrative) Draconic mice you'll attract!

=== [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=828 THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!] ===
 +
''{{date|19|March|2024}}''
  
−
Using spicier flavours of queso cheese will attract more powerful dragons that drop more cork, increase pressure more, and are more lucrative to hunt. With a little experimentation, you will find which flavour of queso works best for each circumstance.

'''Small Cork'''<br>
 
−
Made from Cork Bark<br>
 
−
Collect Cork Bark in the area to construct this lightwight cork capable of withstanding a pressure of 35 kPA to trigger a small eruption.
 
  
−
'''Medium Cork'''<br>
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
−
Made from Cork Bark and Rubber<br>
+
New Eggs and New Rewards!
−
Collect a single Congealed Rubber during a small eruption to create a medium-sized cork. These corks can withstand pressures up to 175 kPA to trigger a medium eruption.
 
  
−
'''Large Cork'''<br>
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
−
Made from Cork Bark and Geyserite<br>
+
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!
−
Collect a unique rock-like material called Geyserite during a medium eruption to create a large-sized cork. These corks can withstand a much greater pressure of 1,000 kPA to trigger a large eruption.
 
  
−
'''Epic Cork'''<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!
−
Made from Cork Bark and Tungsten<br>
 
−
Tungsten is an extremely dense material that can be collected during a large eruption to create an epic-sized cork. These corks can withstand a whopping 3,000 kPA to trigger an epic eruption!
 
  
−
====Looting a Dragon Nest and Rewards====
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
−
During an eruption, the flow of molten queso makes it too dangerous to collect loot. Instead, a nest fills with loot with each capture. After each eruption subsides you can collect all the loot dropped by the various Draconic mice inside the nest and find all sorts of rewards. You'll find Bland Queso, various Spice Leaves, trap components, and other supplies!
+
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!
  
−
'''Amber Queso'''<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.
−
Purchase Trap Parts<br>
 
−
This valuable fossilized queso is highly sought after by the General Store owner at Queso Geyser. Collect the greatest quantities during epic eruptions by hunting the most powerful Draconic mice.
 
  
−
'''Geyser Smolder Stone'''<br>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
−
Purchase a Physical Trap<br>
+
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!
−
Collect or purchase three of these stones to purchase the Smoldering Stone Sentinel Trap. This impressive trap has an astonishing 12,000 Power, making it the most powerful trap in the entire Kingdom!
+
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
−
'''Thermal Chisel'''<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!
−
Purchase a Tactical Trap<br>
 
−
Collect or purchase three of these chisels to purchase the Gouging Geyserite Trap. This trap boasts 9,000 Power, making it the most powerful Tactical trap ever created!
 
  
−
'''Queso Thermal Spring'''<br>
+
'''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.
−
Purchase a Hydro Trap<br>
 
−
Collect or purchase three springs to purchase the Queso Fount Trap. With 11,000 Power, the Fount Trap is the most powerful Hydro trap ever discovered!
 
  
−
'''Kalor'ignis Rib'''<br>
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
−
Research a Draconic Trap<br>
+
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'''.
−
This mysterious item exists only as a rumor spread by the local trapsmith. The trapsmith at Queso Geyser claims this rare and powerful item could be used to create an extremely powerful and high-luck Draconic trap. However, the exact design remains a mystery.
 
  
−
'''Should you uncover the Kalor'ignis Rib, be sure to visit the Trapsmith where you can offer to help and begin a quest to research this mysterious Draconic trap design.'''
+
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'''.
  
−
'''Magic Nest Dust'''<br>
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
−
Adds +5 items to each nest<br>
 
−
Before looting a nest, you can sprinkle this dust to magically add 5 items to the nest! Dusting a nest will add Cork Materials, Amber Queso, Bland Queso, Spice Leaves, and final random item. Dusting nests after larger eruptions will reward greater quantities of higher-tier items.
 
  
−
*'''1 Magic Nest Dust'''
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
−
:Adds five items to nests!
 
  
−
====Magical Properties of Wild Tonic====
+
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'''!
−
The powerful elixir native to Queso Canyon has a number of unique effects on the geyser that you can use to your advantage!
 
  
−
'''Double Cork Bark'''<br>
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
−
Enable your Wild Tonic while collecting Cork Bark to '''double''' each drop! Pair your tonic with spicier flavours of Queso to maximize your drops!
 
  
−
'''Double Pressure Gain'''<br>
+
<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>
−
Once you construct a cork you'll have a limited amount of time to reach its maximum pressure before the cork degrades. Enable your Wlid Tonic while building pressure to froth up the underground queso and '''double''' the pressure gained with each hunt!
 
  
−
'''Bonus Nest Loot'''<br>
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
−
Enable your Wild Tonic during an eruption to shake loose some extra loot with each catch and increase the size of the loot nest!
+
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!
  
−
*'''150 Wild Tonic'''
+
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.
−
:Endless uses!
 
  
−
====Queso Geyser Supply Kits and Baskets====
+
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…

−
*'''Queso Geyser Starter Pack'''
 
−
:Tonic, Dust, and Pump Charms

====Dragonshard Eggs No Longer Available====
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
−
With the Spring Egg Hunt coming to an end and the geyser eruptions now more predictable, mice throughout the Kingdom have stopped dropping Dragonshard Eggs. Make sure to open all of your eggs and then visit any General Store, Charm Shoppe, or Cartographer where you can spend your remaining Dragonshards. The various shopkeepers will stop accepting Dragonshards in a few days time, so make sure to spend them now!
+
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!

Each Dragonshard Egg contains some modest Queso Canyon hunting supplies along with a valuable piece of its shell called a Dragonshard. These exotic fragments are sought after by a variety of tradespeople and can be exchanged at any General Store, Charm Shoppe, or Cartographer for various 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.
  
−
*'''Queso Geyser Replica Clay Model'''
+
<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.

''Requires completion of the adventure: Extinguish Inferna, The Engulfed''
 
  
−
Make sure to pick up this important replica model of the Queso Geyser! It is a physical representation of the geological survey information collected by the King's Royal Geologists thus far. Once their survey is complete, hunters of rank Count/Countess and up will be able to access Queso Geyser as a hunting location with the aid of this model.
+
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
  
−
After the survey is fully completed, the model will be available for a substantial gold and Nachore cost from the Cartographers of Queso Canyon, so get it now while you can on the cheap!
+
As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
−

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!

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!
