Year of the Rooster

26 January 2017

Celebrate Lunar New Year with DOUBLE loot and up to +50 Luck!

Costumed Mice appear throughout the Kingdom

Eight unique costumed mice have appeared in nine locations in the Kingdom! Visit one of nine "Lunar Stockpile" locations to collect Dumpling Cheese and lure the costumed and other event mice out of hiding. Use Dumpling Cheese to capture each of the eight costumed mice and confront the Costumed Rooster Mouse to find a Rooster Lunar Lantern!

Lunar Stockpile Locations

• Fungal Cavern
• Gnawnia Rift
• Muridae Market
• Claw Shot City
• King's Gauntlet
• S.S. Huntington
• Dojo
• Great Gnarled Tree
• Town of Gnawnia

Visit any one of these nine locations to collect Dumpling Cheese as loot drops from the mice normally native to that location. Hunting with SUPER|brie+ will attract mice with more loot drops! Then, arm Dumpling Cheese in those same locations to potentially lure the Lunar New Year Event Mice to your trap.

Light up your Lunar Lantern!

The various Lunar New Year mice drop Lunar Lantern Candles that you can use to illuminate your Rooster Lunar Lantern. While your lantern is lit, you'll use one candle with each hunt you take, but you'll also DOUBLE most loot dropped by mice you capture. Every 10 hunts you take with your lantern lit will also add a +1 Luck bonus to the lantern that will be active while the lantern is lit. You can earn up to +50 Luck!

The Lantern's loot-doubling and bonus luck effects work ANYWHERE in the Kingdom!

Lantern Loot Doubling
While the lantern is lit, you'll find double loot for most items dropped by mice. The magic of the lantern works for most loot drops, however, there are a few drops not affected by your lantern.

'Items Not Doubled by Lunar Lantern'

• Dumpling Cheese
• Lunar Lantern Candles
• Treasure Map Clues
• Map Pieces
• A mouse's standard gold or points
• Items added directly to hunters' inventories from bases, charms, auras, etc.
• Certain items with maximum inventory quantity restrictions

Lantern and Other Loot Bonuses
The lantern loot bonus does not stack with most other loot-increasing effects or bonus loot provided directly by charms, auras, bases, etc. For example, the Nightshade Farming Charm puts Nightshade directly into hunters' inventories and is not dropped by the mouse itself. Nightshade from the charm will not be doubled.

However, if the mouse's loot is modified by some effect, that loot will still double. For example, Rift Vacuum Charms add Calcified Rift Mist directly to a mouse's loot and will therefore be doubled. Basically, as long as the mouse is dropping it and it's not one of the items above, the lantern will double it!

Additionally, if an item has a maximum inventory quantity, the lantern may not be able to double your loot drops depending on how many of that item you already own.

Lantern Luck Bonus up to +50 Luck

Every 10 hunts you take with your lantern lit will add a +1 Luck bonus to the lantern which will be active while your lantern is lit. Your lantern can be upgraded to have a maximum of +50 Luck, meaning after you take 500 hunts with your lantern lit it will be fully upgraded!

For example: If you take 80 hunts with your lantern lit, your trap will have a +8 Luck Bonus while the lantern is lit. Your trap will only take advantage of the +8 Luck Bonus while your lantern is lit. Keep those Lunar Lantern Candles burning!
