== Description and Requirements ==
+
==Overview==
The '''Nerg Plains''' is a location in the [[Tribal Isles]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Legendary]] and crafted [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.

The [[Nerg Plains]] is a location in the [[Tribal Isles]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Legendary]] and the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] to enter.<br/>
 +
Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
  
== Shops ==
+
Hunters must hunt with [[Standard Cheese]] or {{SB}} in order to obtain [[Savoury Vegetables]] which are required for crafting [[Gumbo Cheese]].<br/>
There are no shops available in Nerg Plains. Shops for the Tribal Isles region can be found in the [[Cape Clawed]].
+
[[Gumbo Cheese]] is required to attract the mice that drop [[Yellow Pepper Seed]]s that are necessary for crafting the cheeses required to attract mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]] and [[Dracano]].
 +
 
 +
===Ocean Navigation Kit===
 +
The {{MHinfo|ocean_navigation_map_piece|Ocean Navigation Kit}} grants hunters access to the [[Tribal Isles]] region. It can be crafted using the following formula:

The mice found in the [[Nerg Plains]] are weak to [[Tactical]] weapons.  The use of other [[Power Type]]s should be avoided in this location.
 +
 
 +
Hunters will need to hunt with [[Gumbo Cheese]] in order to attract the mice that drop [[Yellow Pepper Seed]]s.  [[Pepper Seed]]s are necessary for crafting the cheeses required in the [[Jungle of Dread]] and [[Dracano]].
 +
 
 +
===Cheese Preference and Loot===
 +
[[Standard Cheese]] attracts all mice in the [[Nerg Plains]], except the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], [[Slayer]], and [[Black Widow]] mice. <br>
 +
[[Gouda Cheese]] has the best attraction rate of the [[Standard Cheese]]s and it will not attract the [[Chameleon Mouse]].<br/>
 +
{{SB}} is required to attract the [[Black Widow Mouse]] and attracts all other mice in the [[Nerg Plains]], except the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], [[Slayer]], and [[Chameleon]] mice. <br>
 +
[[Gumbo Cheese]] attracts the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], and [[Slayer]] mice.<br/>

* Highlighted mice are less than 1% of the population and are infrequently encountered in this location.
+
===Mice with Special Requirements===
 +
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Nerg Plains]] on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an [[Ancient Relic]] in their inventory to attract this mouse. The [[Ancient Relic]] will be taken by the [[Relic Hunter Mouse]] in exchange for a [[Relic Hunter Scroll Case]].
 +
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in [[Nerg Plains]] when Hunters are actively working an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]]. It is attracted only to [[Fusion Fondue]] which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.

== Hunting Strategy ==
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
 +
Hunters must hunt with [[Standard Cheese]] ([[Gouda]] has the best attraction rate) or {{SB}} in order to obtain [[Savoury Vegetables]] which are required for crafting [[Gumbo Cheese]].<br/>
 +
[[Gumbo Cheese]] is required to attract the mice that drop [[Yellow Pepper Seed]]s that are necessary for crafting the cheeses required to attract mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]] and [[Dracano]].
  
===Cheese Usage===
+
[[Standard Cheese]] attracts all mice in the [[Nerg Plains]], except the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], [[Slayer]], and [[Black Widow]] mice. <br>
[[SUPER brie+]] and [[Gouda]] should be used if you are looking for [[Savoury Vegetables]], though [[Brie]] can also be used with some success. [[Gumbo]] should be used if you are looking for [[Yellow Pepper Seed]] and the [[Ancient Ripped Blueprint]].
+
[[Gouda Cheese]] has the best attraction rate of the [[Standard Cheese]]s and it will not attract the [[Chameleon Mouse]].<br/>
 +
{{SB}} is required to attract the [[Black Widow Mouse]] and attracts all other mice in the [[Nerg Plains]], except the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], [[Slayer]], and [[Chameleon]] mice. <br>
 +
[[Gumbo Cheese]] attracts the [[Nerg Chieftain]], [[Defender]], and [[Slayer]] mice.<br/>
  
Chameleon Mice can occasionally be encountered in Nerg Plains when not using Gouda or SUPER|brie+.
+
Hunters interested in building the [[Ancient Box Trap]] will need to arm [[Gumbo Cheese]] to attract the [[Nerg Chieftain Mouse]], which drops the [[Ancient Ripped Blueprint Piece]].
  
===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
+
===Location-Specific Effects===
Oh, it’s you! I can barely see you over the tall grass! The terrain here makes it quite easy to hide, something the mice of the Nerg Tribe take full advantage of. It's not uncommon for the Nerg to spring an ambush and pillage your supplies of cheese.
+
====Charms====
 +
* The [[Nerg Power Charm]] provides +600 power and a 5% power bonus when hunting in the [[Nerg Plains]].
 +
====Traps====
 +
* The [[Isle Idol Stakeshooter Skin]] is a limited edition skin that converts the power type of the [[Isle Idol Trap]] to [[Tactical]] and gives double [[Savoury Vegetables]] drops in the [[Nerg Plains]].
 +
====Bases====
 +
*The [[Tiki Base]] provides a +6 luck bonus when hunting in Nerg Plains.
 +
*The [[Tribal Kaboom Base]] '''(limited edition)''' may increase the quantity of [[Savoury Vegetables]] and [[Yellow Pepper Seed]]s dropped as loot by mice in the [[Nerg Plains]].
 +
 
 +
===[[Adventure Book]]===
 +
Hunters can complete steps to [[Defeat the Tribe Chieftains]] by using [[Gumbo Cheese]] in the [[Nerg Plains]] to catch the [[Nerg Chieftain Mouse]].
 +
 
 +
Hunters can complete steps to [[Defeat the Dreaded Horde]] '''and''' [[Slay the Dragon Mouse]] by locating the source of [[Yellow Pepper Seed]]s in the [[Nerg Plains]].
 +
 
 +
===[[Library Assignments]]===
 +
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require collecting 1 [[Piece of M400 Intel]] from mice in the [[Nerg Plains]] and/or capture the [[M400]].
  
Members of the Nerg Tribe mostly keep to themselves, but are very territorial. They attack enemy tribes or hunters the moment they step foot on their corner of the island. To be successful hunting here you will need either '''[[Gouda]] or [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]]''' as bait, along with a strong '''[[Tactical]]''' weapon.
+
===[[Tournaments]]===
 +
[[Nerg Plains]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].
  
It seems the Nerg enjoy farming. They often carry batches of unique [[Savoury Vegetables]], which they combine with [[Curds and Whey]] over heat to make a gooey mess called '''[[Gumbo]] Cheese'''. I do not recommend eating any yourself, as most humans have a hard time smelling it, let alone keeping it down. The Nerg leaders are the most territorial of all, so don’t equip your Gumbo Cheese lightly!
+
===[[Treasure Map]]s===
 +
Mice in the [[Nerg Plains]] are often found on [[Tribal Isles Treasure Map]]s, [[Tribal and Shelder Hunt Treasure Map]]s, and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]].  
  
Now MouseHunter, bait your trap, lay low in the tall grass and keep your nose keen for the scent of Savoury Vegetables!

Hunting Strategy

Hunters must hunt with Standard Cheese (Gouda has the best attraction rate) or SUPER|brie+ in order to obtain Savoury Vegetables which are required for crafting Gumbo Cheese.
Gumbo Cheese is required to attract the mice that drop Yellow Pepper Seeds that are necessary for crafting the cheeses required to attract mice in the Jungle of Dread and Dracano.

Standard Cheese attracts all mice in the Nerg Plains, except the Nerg Chieftain, Defender, Slayer, and Black Widow mice.
Gouda Cheese has the best attraction rate of the Standard Cheeses and it will not attract the Chameleon Mouse.
SUPER|brie+ is required to attract the Black Widow Mouse and attracts all other mice in the Nerg Plains, except the Nerg Chieftain, Defender, Slayer, and Chameleon mice.

Hunting tips by Larry

Oh, it's you! I can barely see you over the tall grass! The terrain here makes it quite easy to hide, something the mice of the Nerg Tribe take full advantage of. It's not uncommon for the Nerg to spring an ambush and pillage your supplies of cheese.

Members of the Nerg Tribe mostly keep to themselves, but are very territorial. They attack enemy tribes or hunters the moment they step foot on their corner of the island. To be successful hunting here you will need either Gouda or SUPER|brie+ as bait, along with a strong Tactical weapon.

It seems the Nerg enjoy farming. They often carry batches of unique Savoury Vegetables, which they combine with Curds and Whey over heat to make a gooey mess called Gumbo Cheese. I do not recommend eating any yourself, as most humans have a hard time smelling it, let alone keeping it down. The Nerg leaders are the most territorial of all, so don't equip your Gumbo Cheese lightly!

Now MouseHunter, bait your trap, lay low in the tall grass and keep your nose keen for the scent of Savoury Vegetables!

Shops

There are no shops available in the Nerg Plains. Shops for the Tribal Isles region can be found in Cape Clawed.

History and Trivia

The names of three locations in the Tribal Isles are roughly the tribes' colours backwards. Nerg Plains takes its name after the colour 'green', and the Nerg tribe mice wear green clothes.
