The '''Toxic Spill''' is a location in the [[Burroughs]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hero]] and the [[Laboratory Map Piece]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
 
The '''Toxic Spill''' is a location in the [[Burroughs]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hero]] and the [[Laboratory Map Piece]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
  
Though Hunters ranked [[Hero]] and above can enter the [[Toxic Spill]], the ability to do so is based upon the severity of the '''pollution levels'''. The most severe spills are only open to Hunters ranked [[Archduke|Archduke/Archduchess]] and the least severe spills are open to Hunters ranked [[Hero]] and above. As the severity of the [[Toxic Spill]] declines, lower ranks are permitted to access the location. The available mouse population changes depending on the rank currently permitted to hunt. After cleanup is completed at the [[Hero]] level, the area is closed and hunters can finally refine [[Crude Pollutinum]] into [[Pollutinum]] before the next spill begins.
+
Though Hunters ranked [[Hero]] and above can enter the [[Toxic Spill]], the ability to do so is based upon the severity of the '''[[Toxic Spill#Pollution Levels|pollution levels]]''', ranging from [[Hero]] to [[Archduke|Archduke/Archduchess]]. As the severity of the [[Toxic Spill]] falls and rises, lower ranks are permitted or denied access to the location. The available mouse population changes depending on the rank currently permitted to hunt.
 +
Refining of [[Crude Pollutinum]] into [[Pollutinum]] can be done at any time when the hunter has [[Crude Pollutinum]] in their barrel.
 +
 
 +
When a Hunter with a rank equal that of the current severity of the [[Toxic Spill]] travels to the spill, the following warning is shown in the [[Hunter's Journal]]:
 +
:WARNING: You are currently at the maximum title for this Toxic Spill, you have '''X''' hours '''X''' minutes time until you will be removed from the spill back to the [[Laboratory]].
  
In the days leading up to the spill, the ticker displays messages warning of an impending spill:
+
When a Hunter with a rank below that of the current severity of the [[Toxic Spill]] attempts to hunt while inside the spill, the Hunter is ejected from the spill and the hunt takes place in the [[Laboratory]] instead, with the following message in the [[Hunter's Journal]]:
:''Pollution levels near the Laboratory are rising! Scientists predict the spill will occur within '''[X]''' hours!''<br/>
+
:The pollution levels have gotten worse and are at a level more dangerous than I can handle! I have been evacuated to the [[Laboratory]] for safety!

===Rank and Progress===
 
===Rank and Progress===
Across the bottom of the HUD is a display of all 8 [[Rank]]s allowed in the area, showing which ranks can currently contribute to the hunt, the amount of time remaining to clean the current spill level, and giving a progress meter for the amount of progress that has been made at the current rank. Hovering over the ranks gives the following messages:<br/>
+
Across the bottom of the HUD is an arrow showing whether the spill is rising or falling, the 8 [[Rank]] levels of the area, the current status of the spill determining which ranks can currently hunt in the spill and the amount of time remaining until the next spill level.<br/>
'''Message if the spill is not severe enough to reveal mice associated with the rank:'''
+
Hovering the mouse over the arrow when the spill is rising displays the following tooltip:
:'''[[Rank]]'''
+
:Pollution levels are currently '''rising'''! Hunters with low titles may be moved to the [[Laboratory|mainland]] for their own safety.
:Contamination too low. Higher levels of pollution will require more experienced hunters.
+
Hovering the mouse over the arrow when the spill is falling displays the following tooltip:
'''Message if the spill level has been successfully cleaned:'''
+
:Pollution levels are currently '''falling'''!
:'''[[Rank]]'''
+
Hovering the mouse over the ranks gives the [[Toxic Spill#Pollution Levels|length]] of that rank.
:Contamination level cleared!''
 
'''The current spill level displays this message:'''
 
:'''[[Rank]] - [X]% cleaned'''<br/>
 
:Help defend the cleanup crew for the next '''[Hours:Minutes]'''!
 
'''Message if the spill is still too severe to allow a rank to assist in cleanup:'''
 
:'''[[Rank]]'''
 
:The pollution is still too intense for Hunters of this level
 
  
 
===[[Crude Pollutinum]]===
 
===[[Crude Pollutinum]]===
The amount of [[Crude Pollutinum]] the hunter has collected is shown in the lower right. The tooltip reads as follow:<br/>
+
The amount of [[Crude Pollutinum]] the hunter has collected and the quantity of [[Crude Pollutinum]] that can be refined per successful hunt is shown in the lower right. Clicking on the green button next to it allows the Hunter to toggle between collecting and refining [[Crude Pollutinum]].<br/>
:Refine Crude Pollutinum from your Special inventory! You can only collect a limited amount per Toxic Spill. Upgrade your barrel at the shop to collect more!<br/>
+
If the Hunter hovers their mouse over the amount of [[Crude Pollutinum]], the following tooltip is shown:<br/>
 +
:Convert '''Crude Pollutinum''' into refined '''Pollutinum''' every hunt. Upgraded barrels and Soap charms refine it faster. While refining, you can't gather Crude Pollutinum.
 +
:(if refining [[Crude Pollutinum]]) ''Currently refining '''X''' Pollutinum per hunt!''
 +
:You have refined a total of '''X''' Pollutinum.
  
The amount of [[Crude Pollutinum]] is initially capped at '''200''' per spill, although a hunter can increase the limit to as much as '''250''' by purchasing various sizes of [[Large Waste Barrel|Waste Barrels]] at the general store.
+
While refining;<br/>
 +
A successful catch will create the following [[Hunter's Journal|Journal]] entry:<br/>
 +
''You scrubba-lubba-dub-dubbed your barrel and refined x Crude Pollutinum into x Pollutinum!''<br/>
 +
A unsuccessful catch will create the following [[Hunter's Journal|Journal]] entry:<br/>
 +
''The mouse attacked your barrel while it was open for refining. You lost x Crude Pollutinum!''<br/>
  
When the time allotted to cleaning the [[Toxic Spill]] expires, all hunters remaining in the area are moved to the [[Laboratory]], with the following message appearing in the [[Hunter's Journal]]:
+
Different Barrels can store and refine different amounts of [[Pollutinum]]:
:The Toxic Spill has been cleaned up and the hunters cheer! We move back to the Laboratory for a debriefing.<br/>
 
:I should refine my Crude Pollutinum into pure Pollutinum before the next spill occurs.<br/>

==Pollution Levels and Toxic Spill Length==
+
===[[Hydro]] Weapon===
Beginning on '''4 November 2015''', the [[King]] assembled a crew to clean up Toxic Spills at a much more predictable pace. As with past '''spills''', Hunters are allowed into the [[Toxic Spill]] location based on their [[Rank]], but each level now lasts a standard period of time.  Beginning on '''12 February 2016''', the standard time for each level below [[Count|Count/Countess]] was reduced by 2-4 hours.
+
If the Hunter does not have a [[Hydro]] weapon armed, a message appears in the display warning:
 +
:Only traps with Hydro power work in the Toxic Spill.
 +
 
 +
===[[Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese]] and [[Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese]]===
 +
If the Hunter does not have [[Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese]] or [[Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese]] armed, a message appears in the display warning:
 +
:You must arm Rancid Radioactive Blue to attract mice in this area.
 +
 
 +
==Pollution Levels==
  
Each '''spill''' starts at a specific '''Pollution Level''' which determines the minimum rank initially allowed into the area, the amount of time required to completely clean the spill, and the mice available to be caught. The lowest rank at which a spill will start is [[Count|Count/Countess]]. <!--Per a FBF broadcast--><br/>
 
All Hunters that meet or exceed the current '''Pollution Level''' rank requirement can participate in the cleaning process. As each '''Pollution Level''' is completed, the next lower rank is allowed to enter the area and join in the cleaning process.  Once time elapses for the [[Hero]] portion of the spill, the [[Toxic Spill]] location is closed and Hunters are moved to the [[Laboratory]].<br/>
 
Once the area closes [[Crude Pollutinum]] can be refined into [[Pollutinum]].

The severity of the spill is determined by its contamination level. High levels of contamination are where the most powerful mice reside, while lower levels are home to weaker breeds. The contamination level also determines what title a hunter requires in order to enter the area. As mice are captured, the contamination level will slowly drop, making the area safe enough for less experienced hunters.
+
The severity of the spill is determined by its contamination level. High levels of contamination are where the most powerful mice reside, while lower levels are home to weaker breeds. The contamination level also determines what title a hunter requires in order to enter the area. These levels will slowly rise and fall with the production schedule of the Laboratory and the ebb and flow of the Rodentia Ocean tide. The King has decreed that once the Toxic Spill levels start to go beyond a certain point, the production must stop until the toxic levels subside back down to a level suitable for hunters of Hero rank.  
 
 
 
In order to lure the Polluted mice to your trap, you'll need a more pungent version of Radioactive Blue Cheese called Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese. This bait can be made from Radioactive Curd and Sludge, however, the King has also dispatched a cheese vendor to the area, allowing you to purchase the bait from the Cheese Shoppe here.

In addition to Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese, you'll also want to arm your most powerful hydro trap! The mice here are some of the most challenging you'll find, meaning each bit of Power and ounce of Luck will benefit you.
+
In addition to Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese, a new Magical Radioactive Blue Cheese has been drummed up by the scientists at the Laboratory. This new cheese is extremely potent and demands the attention of the Polluted mice. With this bait armed, it will allow you to attract any mouse from any tier up to Grand Duke! It may not pull the powerful Archduke mice out of hiding before levels have reached a certain toxicity, BUT they can not resist it either once they have revealed themselves! You'll also want to arm your most powerful Hydro trap! The mice here are some of the most challenging you'll find, meaning each bit of Power and every ounce of Luck will benefit you.
  
 
During your hunting endeavours, you'll likely come across a unique item called Crude Pollutinum. This gooey resource can be refined into Pollutinum: a more useful version of itself. Pollutinum can be used to craft a wide variety of useful items including, charms, bases, trap skins, and more!

One last word of caution: While a Toxic Spill is active, Crude Pollutinum cannot be refined. The process is simply too dangerous to attempt while such high levels of radiation are present in the Kingdom. You'll need to wait until the spill is cleaned up before refining any Crude Pollutinum you find to avoid the risk of it being re-contaminated.

Well, that's all the advice I have for you, hunter. Grab some soapy water and get to work! This place is hideous.

In the initial release of the [[Toxic Spill]], the spills' severity and timing were randomised, with the severity lowering as Hunters caught mice within the spill until the spill was entirely cleaned up. Initially, lower-ranked hunters were only allowed into the spill when higher-ranked hunters have progressed enough to decrease the contamination level of the spill. An update subsequently fixed the duration of each contamination level to a regular period of time.
 +
 +
During each spill, Crude Pollutinum (now known as [[Stale Crude Pollutinum]]) could be looted from mice in the spill but could not be refined until the spill was entirely cleaned up. Any [[Stale Crude Pollutinum]] in a Hunter's inventory now can be converted anytime into [[Crude Pollutinum]].

Revision as of 20:11, 31 July 2021

Hunters can only travel freely to and from Toxic Spill if their current rank matches or exceeds the severity of the spill. Hunting inside the spill with a rank lower than the severity of the spill will result in Hunters being involuntarily moved to the Laboratory.

Pollution spewing out of the Laboratory has resulted in this hideous Toxic Spill! The Hunter's Title required to enter is dependent on the current contamination level.

Overview

The Toxic Spill is a location in the Burroughs region requiring a minimum rank of Hero and the Laboratory Map Piece to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.

Though Hunters ranked Hero and above can enter the Toxic Spill, the ability to do so is based upon the severity of the pollution levels, ranging from Hero to Archduke/Archduchess. As the severity of the Toxic Spill falls and rises, lower ranks are permitted or denied access to the location. The available mouse population changes depending on the rank currently permitted to hunt. Refining of Crude Pollutinum into Pollutinum can be done at any time when the hunter has Crude Pollutinum in their barrel.

When a Hunter with a rank equal that of the current severity of the Toxic Spill travels to the spill, the following warning is shown in the Hunter's Journal:

WARNING: You are currently at the maximum title for this Toxic Spill, you have X hours X minutes time until you will be removed from the spill back to the Laboratory.

When a Hunter with a rank below that of the current severity of the Toxic Spill attempts to hunt while inside the spill, the Hunter is ejected from the spill and the hunt takes place in the Laboratory instead, with the following message in the Hunter's Journal:

The pollution levels have gotten worse and are at a level more dangerous than I can handle! I have been evacuated to the Laboratory for safety!

Heads-Up Display

The Heads-up Display covers several aspects of the area. In the top left is a count of the current number of hunters in the area.

Cheese and Charms

On the right side is a display showing the hunter's inventory of Rancid Radioactive Blue, Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue, Rotten Charms, Super Rotten Charms, Soap Charms, and Super Soap Charms and allows Hunters to arm or crafted each charm.
The tool-tips for each cheese and charm read as follows:

Rancid Radioactive Blue is the best common cheese here.
Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue attracts more of the most toxic mice.
Rotten Charms attract mice that drop Soapy Suds.
Super Rotten Charms attract more mice that drop Soapy Suds.
Soap Charms give a power and luck bonus against Polluted mice. Refine +1 Crude Pollutinum per hunt with this armed!
Super Soap Charms are the rarest, adding a strong bonus against Polluted mice. Refine +2 Crude Pollutinum per hunt with this armed!

Rank and Progress

Across the bottom of the HUD is an arrow showing whether the spill is rising or falling, the 8 Rank levels of the area, the current status of the spill determining which ranks can currently hunt in the spill and the amount of time remaining until the next spill level.
Hovering the mouse over the arrow when the spill is rising displays the following tooltip:

Pollution levels are currently rising! Hunters with low titles may be moved to the mainland for their own safety.

Hovering the mouse over the arrow when the spill is falling displays the following tooltip:

Pollution levels are currently falling!

Hovering the mouse over the ranks gives the length of that rank.

Crude Pollutinum

The amount of Crude Pollutinum the hunter has collected and the quantity of Crude Pollutinum that can be refined per successful hunt is shown in the lower right. Clicking on the green button next to it allows the Hunter to toggle between collecting and refining Crude Pollutinum.
If the Hunter hovers their mouse over the amount of Crude Pollutinum, the following tooltip is shown:

Convert Crude Pollutinum into refined Pollutinum every hunt. Upgraded barrels and Soap charms refine it faster. While refining, you can't gather Crude Pollutinum.
(if refining Crude Pollutinum) Currently refining X Pollutinum per hunt!
You have refined a total of X Pollutinum.

While refining;
A successful catch will create the following Journal entry:
You scrubba-lubba-dub-dubbed your barrel and refined x Crude Pollutinum into x Pollutinum!
A unsuccessful catch will create the following Journal entry:
The mouse attacked your barrel while it was open for refining. You lost x Crude Pollutinum!

Different Barrels can store and refine different amounts of Pollutinum:

Barrel Stored Base
Refine
Special Item Extra Refine
Default 200 1 S.U.P.E.R. Scum Scrubber +1 Pollutinum
Small Barrel 210 2 Soap Charm +1 Pollutinum
Medium Barrel 225 3 Super Soap Charm +2 Pollutinum
Large Barrel 250 5

The amount of Crude Pollutinum is initially capped at 200, although a hunter can increase the limit to as much as 250 by purchasing various sizes of Waste Barrels at the general store.

Any Crude Pollutinum that the hunter had in their inventory from before the change to a permanent area is now listed as Stale Crude Pollutinum.

Hydro Weapon

If the Hunter does not have a Hydro weapon armed, a message appears in the display warning:

Only traps with Hydro power work in the Toxic Spill.

Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese and Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese

If the Hunter does not have Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese or Magical Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese armed, a message appears in the display warning:

You must arm Rancid Radioactive Blue to attract mice in this area.

Pollution Levels

Cleanup Times and Maps by Pollution Level

Hunting tips by Larry

YUCK! This Toxic Spill is disgusting! Full of sludge, goo, grime, and scrap!

The Toxic Spill has had dastardly effects on the mice here! Some have grown to massive proportion, while others have gained powerful abilities! These mice are incredibly challenging adversaries!

The severity of the spill is determined by its contamination level. High levels of contamination are where the most powerful mice reside, while lower levels are home to weaker breeds. The contamination level also determines what title a hunter requires in order to enter the area. These levels will slowly rise and fall with the production schedule of the Laboratory and the ebb and flow of the Rodentia Ocean tide. The King has decreed that once the Toxic Spill levels start to go beyond a certain point, the production must stop until the toxic levels subside back down to a level suitable for hunters of Hero rank. In order to lure the Polluted mice to your trap, you'll need a more pungent version of Radioactive Blue Cheese called Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese. This bait can be made from Radioactive Curd and Sludge, however, the King has also dispatched a cheese vendor to the area, allowing you to purchase the bait from the Cheese Shoppe here.

In addition to Rancid Radioactive Blue Cheese, a new Magical Radioactive Blue Cheese has been drummed up by the scientists at the Laboratory. This new cheese is extremely potent and demands the attention of the Polluted mice. With this bait armed, it will allow you to attract any mouse from any tier up to Grand Duke! It may not pull the powerful Archduke mice out of hiding before levels have reached a certain toxicity, BUT they can not resist it either once they have revealed themselves! You'll also want to arm your most powerful Hydro trap! The mice here are some of the most challenging you'll find, meaning each bit of Power and every ounce of Luck will benefit you.

During your hunting endeavours, you'll likely come across a unique item called Crude Pollutinum. This gooey resource can be refined into Pollutinum: a more useful version of itself. Pollutinum can be used to craft a wide variety of useful items including, charms, bases, trap skins, and more!

Well, that's all the advice I have for you, hunter. Grab some soapy water and get to work! This place is hideous.

Location-Specific Effects

Weapons

Your S.U.P.E.R. Scum Scrubber scrubbed the mouse clean and found 1 Crude Pollutinum!

History of Toxic Spills

In the initial release of the Toxic Spill, the spills' severity and timing were randomised, with the severity lowering as Hunters caught mice within the spill until the spill was entirely cleaned up. Initially, lower-ranked hunters were only allowed into the spill when higher-ranked hunters have progressed enough to decrease the contamination level of the spill. An update subsequently fixed the duration of each contamination level to a regular period of time.

During each spill, Crude Pollutinum (now known as Stale Crude Pollutinum) could be looted from mice in the spill but could not be refined until the spill was entirely cleaned up. Any Stale Crude Pollutinum in a Hunter's inventory now can be converted anytime into Crude Pollutinum.

History and Trivia

A sudden burst of pollution from the Laboratory has resulted in this hideous Toxic Spill! The Hunter's Title required to enter is dependant on the current contamination level. As hunters clean the area and lower the contamination, less experienced hunters will be permitted to enter. Hunters are not allowed in the area when there is no pollution to clean up.
