<p>Hello MouseHunt communit-tay!</p>
 
  
−
<p>As many of you are aware, trap checks have not been functioning correctly for quite some time. The problem is proving to be challenging to solve without changing some fundamental gameplay elements that contribute to the passive nature of the game.</p>
+
'''Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.'''<br>
 +
Study hard to advance from Apprentice to Master at the School of Sorcery!
  
−
<p>This issue is a priority for us and we can only ask for your patience while we work on a solution.</p>
+
==== Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery! ====
 +
The Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it involves instructing the mice of the Folklore Forest in the ways of his malevolent magic!
  
−
<p>How else can you help us? Well as every seasoned MouseHunter knows all of life's problems can be blamed on the dreaded Glitchpaw mouse and it's about time we fought back with traps! So grab your best trap and be on the lookout for any Glitchpaw mice that come your way. Every one caught is sure to help!</p>
+
The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette.

===New Region, Mice and More!===
+
==== Enrollment Process! ====
−
''{{date|31|March|2009}}''
+
The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Golden Goose Eggs''', and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.
−
<blockquote>
 
−
<p>Strange happenings have been afoot in Gnawnia! Nomadic mice have been spotted in the trees west of the Meadow while some hunters have heard rumors of a strange rock within the forest.</p>
 
  
−
<p>For the longest time the King has not recognized Whisker Woods as a hunting grounds but with word of this strange rock's appearance he has once again become eager to expand the hunt! This new region is home to all sorts of exotic mice, with a variety of areas to hunt in to give new challenges to Journeyman hunters and above!</p>
+
Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents.

==== Lessons in the Science of Refraction ====
 +
The new Trapsmith at the School of Sorcery has become a master of refractive science and has developed an extraordinary new entry into the line of refractor bases.
  
−
<p>Enjoy discovering and exploring this new region filled with all-new mice! These new areas were designed as a separate path to follow and act as a decision for new hunters regarding what direction to head in when they reach the title of Journeyman.</p>

<p>Trap checks have been slightly modified in the way they work. Whenever the game awards you a random trap check it will also check when your last check was. If your last trap check was beyond a certain threshold you will receive more than one trap check at the same time. This means that occasionally you may notice that you receive two or three simultaneous trap checks. *phew* I used the word check a lot there!</p>

CLASSES HAVE BEGUN AT THE SCHOOL OF SORCERY!

23 April 2024

Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.
Study hard to advance from Apprentice to Master at the School of Sorcery!

Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery!

The Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it involves instructing the mice of the Folklore Forest in the ways of his malevolent magic!

The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette.

Enrollment Process!

The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for 1,000,000 Gold, 1,000 Golden Goose Eggs, and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.

Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents.

Lessons in the Science of Refraction

The new Trapsmith at the School of Sorcery has become a master of refractive science and has developed an extraordinary new entry into the line of refractor bases.
