Season Two of the Relic Hunter
14 January 2014
The second season of the Relic Hunter and treasure hunting has begun! A new reward now awaits those who complete treasure maps!
Season Two Treasure Chests
With season two now started, completing a treasure map now awards a "Season Two" chest. You'll also notice any treasure chests you have in your inventory now carry with them the label of "Season One". These two types of chests contain similar items, however, the Season Two chests contain a new Limited Edition trap in place of the Ancient Gauntlet Trap.
Season One Treasure Chests still have a chance to drop the Ancient Gauntlet Trap, however, these chests are now no longer obtainable.New Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge
Every Season Two Treasure Chest has a chance of containing the new Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge trap. This new tactical trap boasts good hunting prowess as well as a special use in Zugzwang's Seasonal Garden. The electric energy in Chesla's Revenge has a unique effect on your Tower Amplifier, resulting in an occasional boost in amplifier power. This boost also stacks with the effect of an Amplifier Charm, charging your Amplifier quicker than ever!
Rare Map Dust
Looking to boost the rewards found in Treasure Chests, including improving the odds of discovering rare items? Rare Map Dust is carefully scraped from an old, rare map, and instantly transforms a map into a rare one! The difficulty of the map does not increase, only the delicious loot! Rare Map Dust can be purchased with gold from the Marketplace, occasionally found when opening a treasure map scroll case, or purchased from the SUPER|brie+ shop.

End of the Winter Event
7 January 2014
The Great Winter Snowball Fight has come to an end. An area called the Vacant Lot has remained behind where all of the Festive Shoppes will stay open for one more week.
Spend Your Ice Coins
Make sure you visit the various Festive Shoppes to cash-in all of your Ice Coins! There is a wide variety of hunting loot available that is sure to help you in your hunting endeavors across the Kingdom. Make sure to also purchase the Limited Edition Ice Blaster Trap. Remember: The Ice Blaster Trap can be upgraded into the Glacier Gatler, so if you're the collector type, you may want to purchase two Ice Blaster Traps to have one of each!
Exchange Snow Blocks for Snowball Charms
Have extra Snow Blocks after completing your Snow Fort? Exchange them at the Charm Shoppe for Snowball Mystery Packs! Each pack contains a random amount of Snowball Charms. Although these charms boost the stats of any trap, arm them with either the Ice Blaster or Glacial Gattler and watch your power really soar!
Exchange Snowball Bocconcini for Winter Charms
Have extra Snowball Bocconcini? Extra pieces of cheese can be exchanged at the Cheese Shoppe for Winter Charms! Even outside of the festive area, these charms provide an impressive luck bonus, making them useful all year long!
Special bonuses melt away with your fort
The warmer weather has melted the Festive Snow Fort, along with the fortresses built by hunters. All special bonuses provided by the fortress, such as power bonuses, tournament bonuses, etc. will no longer be provided. The one exception to this are rewards from Naughty and Nice Treasure Chests. The magical bonus upon opening the chest has remained even though the tavern in your Snow Fort has melted. You will still receive the double loot bonus upon opening if you built the related upgrade.
What's your next goal?
The end of an event can leave a few hunters pondering what their next goal may be. Are you still on the always expanding quest of discovering new hunting locations and breeds of mouse? If you need a little help getting back on track, check out this amazing MouseHunt guide built by a member of the community: Spheniscine's MouseHunt Guide (mousehuntguide.com).
Are you an avid treasure hunter? As a reminder, season one of the Relic Hunter and Treasure Chests will soon come to an end and season two will begin! This means that completing newly acquired Treasure Maps will reward a new "Season Two" Treasure Chest with mostly similar contents, although some will be different. Most notably, the Limited Edition Ancient Gauntlet Trap will no longer be able to be found in the new chests. If you have not obtained the Ancient Gauntlet Trap yet, now is your last chance to find it!Looking for more unique goals? Check out these large groups dedicated to specific hunting goals:
