Happy Lunar New Year!

6 February 2018

Celebrate with double and TRIPLE loot!

Dog Lunar Lantern

Costumed Dog mice, along with other Lunar New Year mice, have appeared in 10 different hunting locations throughout the Kingdom! Find out where these event mice are by viewing the Lunar Banner above your Hunter's Journal on the Camp page and travel to capture them.

In each of the 10 Lunar New Year locations, you can collect special cheese to then lure the various costumed mice to your trap. The various costumed mice from previous years will come out of hiding in a specific order with the Costumed Dog Mouse being last. Capturing the Costumed Dog Mouse will reward the Dog Lunar Lantern, which can be used to double or even triple loot ANYWHERE in the Kingdom!

Double and Triple Loot

Once you've obtained the Dog Lunar Lantern, you can use it to boost loot drops ANYWHERE by igniting it which burns one candle per hunt. There are two types candles to choose from which determine whether you'll receive double or triple loot: Lunar Lantern Candles and Red Lunar Lantern Candles.

Each candle you burn will also raise your Dog Lunar Lantern upwards into the sky. As you reach certain height milestones, you'll find special rewards including a new event cheese and trap skin. Raising your lantern will also unlock luck bonuses while your lantern is lit, up to an amazing +50 Luck for raising your lantern to 500 feet!

  • Lunar Lantern Candle
You'll find these candles as loot drops by hunting with Dumpling Cheese in any of the 10 Lunar New Year event locations. Using these candles will double loot drops.
  • Red Lunar Lantern Candle
You'll find these candles as loot drops from the Lunar Red Candle Maker Mouse by hunting with Nian Goa'da Cheese in any of the 10 Lunar New Year Event locations. You'll find Nian Gao'da Cheese as a reward for raising your lantern into the sky.

Remember: The lantern's doubling and tripling effect works anywhere in the Kingdom!
