Happy Lunar New Year
Year of the Dragon
The Year of the Dragon is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with the Lunar New Year mice at fourteen locations across Gnawnia!
Claim the Dragon Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!
How to Celebrate
Stockpile Locations
Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately. This year, the Bountiful Beanstalk has been added as a new stockpile location!
Gather Dumpling Cheese
At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would in that location. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance of dropping Dumpling Cheese.
Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice
Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!
Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!
With the Dragon Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these candles and reaping rewards!
When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find TRIPLE loot!
The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern candle lit will raise it by two feet!
Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever the candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!
Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the Heads-Up Display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track!
This year, more Red Lunar Lantern candles have been added to the reward track and adventure reward. Try out their triple loot capabilities!
Lunar New Year Items
The various shops at stockpile locations now stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased after the Lunar New Year adventure is completed. Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts and trap skins!
Be sure to check out the Trapsmith, where you'll find the newly-refined Jade Base now boasting 10 Luck!
The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, however, the rewards have been adjusted to correct a development error from last year. The rewards now focus on Dumpling Cheese and regular Lunar Lantern Candles for both standard and dusted maps just as they did in 2021 and 2022. Any existing chests in players' inventories have been labeled with "2023" and still include the previous year's map rewards.
The Lunar New Year event will end on February 20, 2024
As of February 20, you will no longer be able to collect Dumpling Cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles at stockpile locations.
You will no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern candles and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.
You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops until February 27.
Celebration Supplies
The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!
All candles are sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace. Grab them now to kick-start your celebration!
Valentine's Matchmaker
Love is in the air! From February 13 to 16* you will occasionally encounter some lovestruck mice during your hunts. These special Valentine's mice will occasionally appear as a bonus hunt after a successful catch and will not consume any cheese or charms! They do however drop some lovely Valentine's loot!
This year will be the last time that the Valentine's Matchmaker bonus hunts will run before the Valentine mice later find new, permanent homes within Gnawnia
The Valentine's Matchmaker Mini-Event has its final run from February 13 to 16
