====Using Trap Skins is Easier than Ever!====
  
<p>With the help of hunters recovering research and defending the Crystal Library, scraps of research have been recovered indicating there may be a trap capable of capturing Zurreal the Eternal. For hunters who have proven themselves as capable researchers, a new research assignment can now be started at the Crystal Library. This assignment will take you across the entire kingdom searching for unique trap components to build Zurreal's Folly.</p>
+
<p>The trap skin system has been overhauled, making skins easier to use! When you have a trap armed that is compatible with the newly released skins an orange "Change Trap Skin" button will appear above your trap allowing you to easily change its look. The best part is these newly released skins do not require any crafting or changing of traps letting you easily express your unique style without the need to purchase several expensive traps.</p>
  
<p>Capturing Zurreal is only half the challenge; the other half is luring him toward your trap! Zurreal knows better than to fall for a hunter's cheese and so to attract him toward a trap you'll need something he can't resist: Pure wizardly knowledge! Upon completing your Zurreal Trap Research Assignment the library will reward you with a single charm charged with magical knowledge. The Charm Shoppe at the Crystal Library now also stocks Uncharged Scholar Charms, which can be charged upon capturing a mouse that possesses great knowledge of magic.</p>

<p>A mouse known as Zurreal the Eternal has managed to infiltrate the library's enchantment where he has unleashed an army of inorganic magical-tech mice who are immune to the library's protective enchantment! The library's wealth of knowledge is rapidly being destroyed by the mice there and must be salvaged!</p>
 
 
<p>The Crystal Library can only be accessed with a special Crystal Library Card. Unfortunately, thanks to Zurreal, these cards are now all under the possession of mice. You'll need to hunt down a card somewhere in Zugzwang's Tower before you can lend a hand at the library.</p>

<p>Once inside the library, you can help recover Zugzwang's research by carrying out research tasks. Click "Get Assignment" on the heads-up display while in the library to browse available research assignments.</p>
 
 
<p>Completing assignments will earn you rewards based on the assignment carried out, along with special Library Points to mark your experience as a researcher! More advanced research assignments pose a greater challenge (and reward!) and thus require more Library Points in order to access them.</p>

New Trap Skins

23 September 2011

Overhauled Trap Skins!

Trap Skins have been made better than ever!

Check out the brand new skins!

Using Trap Skins is Easier than Ever!

The trap skin system has been overhauled, making skins easier to use! When you have a trap armed that is compatible with the newly released skins an orange "Change Trap Skin" button will appear above your trap allowing you to easily change its look. The best part is these newly released skins do not require any crafting or changing of traps letting you easily express your unique style without the need to purchase several expensive traps.

Three New Trap Skins

Three new Trap Skins have been introduced that use the new and improved system. These skins let you change the look of your Enraged RhinoBot, Zugzwang's First Move and Arcane Capturing Rod of Never Yeiling Mystery (ACRONYM).

Extremely Enraged Rhinobot Skin
With just a few extra spikes, brighter LEDs and some small, controlled explosions, the Enraged RhinoBot takes on a more intimidating persona. Did a pesky mouse just steal some of your precious cheese? Apply this skin to show your appropriate level of rage!

GET ONE NOW!

Larry's First Move Skin
Zugzwang may be familiar with Technic and Mystic Knights, but what about Friendly Knights? Apply this skin to your trap to put a friendlier face on Zugzwang's First Move.

GET ONE NOW!

Jet-Black ACRONYM Skin
Although the Arcane Capturing Rod of Never Yielding Mystery is a very capable Arcane weapon, its tacky purple colour is sometimes said to clash with the dark and dreary Catacombs it is so often used within. Apply this skin to your ACRONYM trap to hunt in gloomy style!

GET ONE NOW!

What about Existing Trap Skins?

After consulting the King's Arms, previously discovered Trap Skins (Ninja Ambush, Icy RhinoBot, Winter Clockapult, Grungy and Fluffy DeathBot) have been changed to be blueprints so that the unique traps they produce remain the mark of a true MouseHunt Trap Collector!

If you had any of the pre-existing trap skins you'll now find them as blueprints in your inventory that can be combined with the appropriate trap parts to create their respective traps.

New Trap Skins System and Three New Skins!

  • Express your unique style and change your trap's look!
