==== The Frost King Cometh! ====
+
==== Year of the Rabbit ====
−
The King's research expedition into the Great Winter Taiga has returned with unsettling news: the construction of jagged ice and snow is in fact a massive Ice Fortress! A sinister and foreboding chill can be felt emanating from the structure and most concerning of all, its chilling effect is slowly creeping further and further south. Trees are frosting over, water is flash freezing, and the researchers' entire supply of Hot Cocoa has frozen solid!
+
Fireworks!
  
−
From behind a massive shield of Reinforced Ice, a growling cackle echos from the belly of the Frost King who has proclaimed that soon all of Gnawnia will be made part of his frozen domain. Hunters must find a way to smash through this Ice Shield, confront the Frost King, and stop his plan to freeze of all Gnawnia forever!
+
The Year of the Rabbit is upon us and it's time to kick off the new year with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with the lunar event mice at '''thirteen''' locations across Gnawnia!
  
−
==== Let the Great Winter Hunt Begin! ====
+
Claim the Rabbit Lantern to collect and light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot anywhere''' in the Kingdom!
−
The Festive Comet has crashed into Gnawnia signalling the start of the Great Winter Hunt! With hunters needed at the Great Winter Taiga, the King has organized an ingenious plan to bring an abundance of the comet's snow to the taiga to help thwart the Frost King. At this very moment, a fleet of supply ships are ferrying mounds of unprocessed snow from the Harbour to a newly constructed Golem Workshop as part of a master plan to utilize Winter Hunt Snow Golems to assault the Ice Fortress.
 
−
 
 
−
At the Golem Workshop, a trio of droids are standing ready to operate deep-freeze forges to produce golem parts. Alas, all the droids need is a source of power and what better source than the delicious, clean, and efficient Compressed Cinnamon? Collect Compressed Cinnamon from the nearby Cinnamon Hill to power the forges so that the droids can manufacture more golem parts than ever before! Then, send your golems out on expeditions to collect an extremely dense and powerful new item known as a Hailstone which will make the perfect ammunition to blast through the Frost King's Ice Shield.

−
==== Golem Exploration ====
 
−
 
 
−
Hunters are better equipped than ever to construct, upgrade, and utilize Snow Golems! Use Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino '''anywhere''' in the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts as loot drops. Additionally, once you have a stash of Compressed Cinnamon you can power the forges at the Golem Workshop to produce additional heads, torsos, and limbs. Once you have a head, torso, and four limbs you can construct a golem and send it out on a loot collection expedition!

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately. This year we have added the Foreword Farm as a new stockpile location!

After 25 hunts your golems will return with a variety of loot from the location you sent them to. Additionally, no matter where you send a golem it will return with Reinforced Ice Shards which can be used to upgrade its loot collecting abilities. All golems also return with Hailstones which you can utilize to smash the shield at the Ice Fortress. The most renowned ballistics experts from Fort Rox have built and installed three powerful cannons that are capable firing Hailstones at the Ice Shield. Enable one, two, or all three cannons and start firing Hailstones until the Ice Shield shatters!

==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
 
−
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.

−
This powerful resource can be uncorked to provide a wide variety of benefits while hunting within the Great Winter Taiga, such as:

==== Wintery Charms of the Past ====
 
−
The Snowflake and Snow Golem Architect mice no longer require any sort of special charm to encounter! The wide open space of the Great Winter Taiga doesn't have nearly as many places for these mice to hide. However, they do still have somewhat discriminating taste when it comes to cheese.

<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!'''</div></div>
 +
With the Rabbit Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping their rewards!
 +
 
 +
 
 +
When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find '''DOUBLE''' loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find '''TRIPLE''' loot!
 +
 
 +
 
 +
The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a '''+1 Luck''' bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!
  
−
Should you have any Winter Charms or Let It Snow Charms from previous Great Winter Hunts, you can use your Hunter's Hammer to magically smash them into Pecan Pecorino and Glazed Pecan Pecorino, respectively.
 
  
−
==== Other Winter Festivities ====
+
Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the Heads-Up Display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track!

Happy Lunar New Year

17 January 2023

Celebrate the new Year of the Rabbit and earn DOUBLE or TRIPLE loot!

Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit!

Year of the Rabbit

Fireworks!

The Year of the Rabbit is upon us and it's time to kick off the new year with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with the lunar event mice at thirteen locations across Gnawnia!

Claim the Rabbit Lantern to collect and light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!

How to Celebrate

Stockpile Locations

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately. This year we have added the Foreword Farm as a new stockpile location!

Town of Gnawnia Laboratory Great Gnarled Tree Dojo
S.S Huntington IV Claw Shot City Muridae Market Gnawnia Rift
Fungal Cavern Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad
Foreword Farm
Claim the Rabbit Lunar Lantern!

Upon arrival at a stockpile location you can claim the Rabbit Lunar Lantern immediately via the event Heads-Up Display!

Gather Dumpling Cheese

At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would in that location. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance of dropping Dumpling Cheese.


Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice

Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!


This year, Nian Gao'da will exclusively attract event mice including the Lunar Red Candle Maker Mouse making it easier to get Red Lunar Lantern Candles!


Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Rabbit Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping their rewards!


When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find TRIPLE loot!


The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!


Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!


Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the Heads-Up Display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track!


Lunar New Year Items

The various shops at stockpile locations now stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased after the Lunar New Year adventure is completed. Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts and trap skins!

The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to cartographers at stockpile locations. Use it to speed up your candle collecting!

Celebration Supplies

The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!

All candles are sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace. Grab them now to kick-start your celebration!

The Lunar New Year event will end on January 31, 2023

As of January 31, you will no longer be able to collect Dumpling cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles at stockpile locations.


You will no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern candles and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.


You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops until February 7.
