Silth! At Last!

Hi Readers!

Today, I caught a Silth Mouse!

The Silth Mouse is one of the hardest mouse to attract. Since Mousehunt's second birthday in March 2009, the Chrome Nannybot was introduced into the game. In order to be the first few to get that trap, one has to catch all three new mice: The Dojo Sensei, the Big Bad Borroughs, and the Silth. The former was tough, so was the Big Bad Borroughs. However, what bothered the hunters the most is the Silth mouse. To catch the Silth during the birthday event was like a needle in a haystack.

One year has passed, and the number of people who caught the Silth still has not increase significantly. This is because of the extreme difficulty to attract that rare mouse and the little chance to catch it when it attracts your bait. Till today, statistics show that the number of people catching the Silth is around 35 Thousand. That is like one in five hundred.

I am very joyful after catching this magnificent mouse, as it takes luck, not skill to catch it. People around the world have used the same trap, same base and same charm as me, but many of them failed to catch this monster with about 300 cheese. I was very lucky to have caught it within 100 cheese!

Now that I have the Silth Mouse, I can now return to Seasonal Garden to get my next map piece, the Sandtail Call to Arms.

Zugzwang Tower Progress

Hi all!

Today I will be updating you with my Zugzwang Tower progress. Well, I have went through success and failures and this is the mice that I have caught.

2 Technic King mice

1 Mystic King mouse

A new area for Baron/Baroness has been released, and thus I would have to rush to quickly advance to the Baron rank to go to that area.

The Zugzwang Tower: Success!

Hi Readers!

Yes! After my second trip to the Zugzwang's Tower, I finally managed to successfully capture the Technic King Mouse! It is a good reward for me as I almost wanted to give up on the whole thing. Thankfully, when I was left with 8% amplifier, I managed to catch the King. There was once when I had 17 consequently red-boxes, white-boxes and FTAs. I wanted to surrender then, but my friend kept me going. Without him, it may still take me a long while before I can acquire the King.

Now, all I am left to catch is the Mystic King, and after which would be the Chess Master. Now, the heart of the Rabbit - a valentines and CNY celebration event - has come to town, so I would resume my hunt when it is over.

MouseHunt Mini Snack 1!

Hi everyone!

It is time for a MouseHunt Mini Snack! Here are some simple facts of MouseHunt.

1. The description of Scrap Metal is: These jagged shards of scrap metal resemble the result of a Steel Mouse versus a Digby DrillBot. During the early stages of MouseHunt, if one attempts to use a Digby DrillBot to catch a Steel Mouse, no matter how man times they try, they would not get Scrap Metal. In the forums, Hunters suggested that the developers should change the description or make the description come to reality. After much consideration, the developers decided to please the Hunters, and therefore, after MouseHunt's birthday celebration in 2010, there was a 10% chance of getting a Scrap Metal if you use a Digby DrillBot/Chrome DrillBot against a steel mouse.

2. When a Hunter catches a Dragon Mouse, he/she would get a confirm chance of obtaining a Dragon Chest, containing items for collection, trap components, cheese, crafting items, and so on. The rarest item tat could be found in a Dragon's Chest would be the Heat Bath Blueprints. The Heat Bath is a very powerful Aquatic trap. Its Blueprints could only be found in the Dragon's Chest. Yet, it would only appear an average of once in every 7-8 Dragon's Chest. Looking at the difficulty level to catch the Dragon Mouse, it would obviously not be Chicken Feet to get one Blueprints. In the forums, Hunters have expressed their dislikes over this fact time and time again, but what are the developer's response?
"If you want the trap, you would have to go through the challenges to get it. If not, you can choose not to have it. After all, it is not a Limited Edition trap, and Hunters can attempt to have the Blueprints when they have advanced in ranks.

That is for now. Remember to Stay Tuned for the next MouseHunt Mini Snack!

Second Attempt: The Zugzwang's Tower

Hello All!

Today, I am going to tell you about my second attempt in conquering the Zugzwang's Tower. Like I said in my previous post, the Zugzwang's Tower it one of the hardest ever place a hunter has to conquer. During the stay in the tower, hunter will lose their Tower Amplifier upon catching a mouse of failing to attract a mouse. Failing to catch a mouse won't result in the drop of one's tower amplifier. The hard part is that as the harder mice are released, your amplifier drops, thus harder and harder to catch each mouse.

During the last hunt, I wasn't prepared due to the fact that I did not craft my Zugzwang's First Move, which has a vital role to play in conquering the tower. Now, however, I spent a whole 1.03 million gold on crafting what seems to be the strongest tactical trap in the game. Lets put this trap to the ultimate test.

Wish me luck as I advance in the Zugzwang's Tower. You can even share a Luck Charm with me! It would be after my success or failure (2 days) that I will blog again.

Zugzwang Tower Failed Attempt

Hi all!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!

It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Anyhow, I would like to share with you on my attempt to conquer the Zugzwang Tower. When I had finally decided to travel to the Zugzuang Tower, I realised something: I had not crafted my Zugzuang's First Move! The ZFM plays a very important part in conquering the tower, and if you do not have it, chances that you would conquer it would be slim. However, during my first few hunts, since I used the pawn pinchers and the new limited edition trap Rewers Riposte, the journey was smooth. However, when I reached the technic and Mystic Rooks, the tables were turned. I could not even catch one of the Rooks! That made me mad, but there was nothing I could do, but to keep trying till my amplifier becomes weak. I tried my luck every time, but to no avail. In the end, I left the tower with an amplifier of 40% without catching any Rooks. What I have gone wrong during this trip to the tower is that I wasn't well prepared. Instead of knowing that I would have a confirmed chance pf catching a mouse, I kept pushing my luck. Next time, I would make a trip to the tower again, but this time, well prepared.

Conquering the King's Gauntlet

Hi readers!

Today, I am going to tell you all about the hard work I have put in to successfully conquer the King's Gauntlet.

As you see, the King's Gauntlet is a map where you have to go up eight tiers(floors) to catch the Eclipse Mouse. Unlike Furoma, hunters need not travel to the next tier, and all they need to do it to arm the cheese that is used to attract mice on that tier to move to that particular tier. For each floor, mice drop potions which can convert ordinary cheese into tier cheese used for catching the mice on the next tier(for example, if you catch a tier 1 mouse, it may drop a tier 2 potion, and you can use it t make tier 2 cheese).

Going up eight tiers is no easy task. Although catching the mice here is as easy as ABC, as you advance tier by tier, the percentage of potions dropped by the mice drops. In tier one, you may get three tier 2 potions out of ten hunts, but only one tier 3 out of ten hunts in tier two. That is the most irritating part of the King's Gauntlet.

Hunters usually give up between tier 5 to 7, where the percentage of potions being dropped is very little. I was one of them too. During my first attempt, I dropped out when I ran out of tier 5 cheese. I was even closer to getting the Eclipse Mouse when I did not get any tier 8 potions in tier 7.

However, on my third and final attempt, thanks to Ronza's Ultimate Luck Charm, which adds a fascinating 20 luck on my trap, I successfully caught a Fiend Mouse with a tier 8 potion. After which, the Eclipse Mouse is just chicken feat.

The reward of the Eclipse Mouse is just amazing! A wholesome lot of 300,000 gold and 379,000 points, the points it gave is about three times the points given by the second "most number of points mouse" and the same goes for its gold.

Have a look at this!

I caught an Eclipse Mouse!

I checked my trap and found that I had caught a mouse!

I caught an 5 oz. Eclipse Mouse worth 379,000 points and 300,000 gold.

Ronza is Here!

Hi all,

Its a whole new beginning of 2011 with a whole new exciting features!

At the start of 2011, I achieved the title of Lord and can gain access to the Seasonal Garden. That was just awesome! However, what sparked the new year most was the arrival of Ronza! Ronza is a travelling merchant bringing limited edition traps into the world of Mousehunt from time to time. This time, I was totally prepared for her arrival. Stocking up nine million Gold, I easily bought all of her traps and bases at one go, and fortunately, I only used up 50% of my Gold. Moreover, Ronza brought her long lost friend Mustachio. He is a retired trapsmith who has researched on charms and when he came to the word of Mousehunt, he began selling charms in the mountains. The best of his charms is the ultimate charm, whereby 20 luck will be added into your trap, making it luckier by default. There are also power charms, attraction charms and luck charms too. They add to the trap's power, attraction and luck respectively. I find that the introduction of the charms into the game has made the game more fun and exciting!

Oh, and I won't be placing my hunter's journal onto the blog anymore. It's a little space consuming :)

Well, I have to go for now, don't worry, as more posts will be uploaded.

Bye!

Hero!

8:00 pm - Catacombs

I received the title of Hero!

MouseHunt Report - 1st Trip toTribal Isles

Hi All,
Thanks to Zhen Young, who influenced me to write this post, here it is.

Well, I have created my Ocean Navigation Kit and advanced to the Tribal Isles! It's quite a great place to hunt as:

So, now I am currently hunting at Elub Shore and will be expecting to rank up to Hero a week from now, as I am 77% already.
