  Helpful Guide for the newbies :

  http://mousehuntguide.blogspot.com/

   

  An excerpt from the guide :

  You start off NOVICE and can only hunt in Gnawnia town and the meadow. It costs 50 gold to travel to the meadow but does not cost anything to travel to Gnawnia town.
  
  In Town you can access the Cheeseshoppe and the Trapsmith where you can stock up on all types of cheese (other than Radioactive Blue cheese), and upgrade your traps (traps require a certain point value so as your experience level goes up, you are able to buy better traps – click on Trapsmith to see how much each trap costs and to see what points are required for each). If traveling to other areas (i.e. Meadow, Harbour, Mountains, Lab or Mousoleum) you need to stock up on cheese as you cannot purchase cheese or traps there. In Town, you can also access the Marketplace where you can buy and sell maps and SB+. You may catch more than one map piece or key (which you can sell here), but you must have at least 2 of an item to sell it (i.e. you cannot sell a map piece if you only have one – you need it for yourself to access that area). Note: Beware of purchasing keys/maps that you will not be able to use until you reach a certain level.
  
  You then move up to APPRENTICE (hold the cursor over your status bar and it'll tell you what percentage you're at) and can hunt in the Harbour. It cost 1000 gold to travel to the Harbour. There you can catch more pirate, burglar and zombie mice (although you can also get them in Town). You can also catch Black Widow mice here that drop SuperBrie+ (SB+) and Radioactive Brie (RB). But… mice will also steal gold, cheese and points from you if you don't catch them.
  
  Then you move up to JOURNEYMAN and can hunt in the Mountains. It costs 4500 to travel to the mountains. There you need to catch the Ninja mouse that will drop a lab map piece (bear in mind that not every ninja has a map – this is the same for any loot dropping mice). You also have a better chance of catching Black Widow mice here though - I think.

   

  After that i think you no need guide anymore...  

   

  Some helpful Tips :

  1) Stock up on cheese - I cant stress this enuff. Make sure you have enough cos even if you are not sounding horn, there will be a hunt on every hour or so, and to run out of cheese is just... terrible

  In town of Gnawia, cheese refunds for exactly the same value as bought. So dont worry about wasting gold. You can always refund it back afterwards.

  2) Sound the horn as often as possible. Yes the cheese may get eaten. Yes it may go stale. Yes it might not even attract a single mousie. But every single horn sounded adds up to your points. And possibly gold if u did catch a mousie.

  3) Upgrade your Trap + Base when you can. A better trap = more mice caught.

  4) Try to find friends in different time zones within your area. Or just more friends playing Mousehunt. Because unless you are a real maniac at MH, you wont be sitting in front of the comp 24/7 sounding the damn tooting horn every 15 mins. Your friends can help you sound the horn when you are asleep, away or busy doing real work. (if you left your FB on)

  5) Dont be afraid to try different maps. Some mice may follow you around when you travelled to a new map. Be wary of the travel cost. Do stock up on cheese before you travel.

  6) Try different cheese to see what works for you. Some may do well with just cheddar. Or marble. Or swiss. Or brie. Different cheese attracts different mice in different locations. Have fun experiementing.

  4:38pm

  I sounded the Hunter’s Horn.
  I was successful in my hunt! I caught a 4 oz. Keeper mouse from the Catacombs worth 3,947 points and 3,904 gold.
  
  The mouse also dropped the following loot:
  1 plankrun's journal's front cover, 1 keeper's candle.
  
  My weapon was very effective against this mouse.

  hmmm weird ..

   

  Acolyte Realm

  Years ago in Bristle Woods, a MouseHunter by the name of Plankrun opened a passageway to another realm. The passage was intended to act as an elaborate one-way trap for Acolyte mice. However, recently, the Acolyte mice have had success in reversing the portal's direction and are attempting to re-enter the Gnawnia Kingdom.

   

  Friends in Area: 0

  Hunters in Area: 928

  The area appears locked; you are unable to travel.

  Mice may steal supplies should you fail to catch them!

  
  

  why with the candle still cannot go ?
  
• hisoka

  6 Mar 09, 16:45

  6:17pm

  I sounded the Hunter’s Horn, but my radioactive blue cheese failed to attract a mouse.

  6:15pm

  I returned to check my trap, but it appeared my radioactive blue had failed to attract a mouse. I replaced my bait since it seemed to be stale.

  6:02pm

  Copied over from MH Forum :

   

   

   

  Go to the Cartographer in the Bazaar and get your Tattered Mousoleum Map restored for $160,000. This will take 5 days.
  
  After 5 days collect your restored map from the Cartographer and head to the Catacombs if you are Legendary.
  
  Cheese:
  1) Radioactive Blue Cheese
  Collect as many RB potions as you can in the Lab. You will need a continuous supply of Radioactive Blue cheese in the Catacombs.
  When RB cheese goes stale it becomes Radioactive Sludge. This is automatically put into your crafting inventory.
  
  2) Ancient Cheese
  Crafting recipe: (6) Ionized Salt + (3) Stale Cheese = (3) Ancient Cheese
  Crafting recipe: (3) Magic Essence + (6) Ionized Salt + (3) Stale Cheese = (6) Ancient Cheese
  Stale cheese is obtained when Brie, Swiss, Marble, Cheddar or White Cheddar goes stale on your trap. It is automatically put into your crafting inventory.
  Ancient cheese has a better attraction rate than RB.
  
  Arcane Traps:
  1) Obelisk of Slumber (OoS)
  Buy the Obelisk of Slumber trap in the Catacombs General Store for $316,350. Alternatively use the Bottomless Grave or Sinister/Ambrosial traps until you can afford the Obelisk of Slumber. These shadow traps are not advisable for the long term in the Catacombs.
  
  2) Obelisk of Incineration (OoI)
  Crafting recipe: (1) Obelisk of Incineration Blueprints + (1) Obelisk Parts + (1) Coal+ (2) Scrap Metal + (3) Splintered Wood
  Buy the Obelisk of Incineration Blueprints from the Catacombs General Store for $45,079.
  Obtain the Obelisk of Slumber parts by using the Hunters Hammer on the Obelisk of Slumber trap. (Do not smash your OoS until you have 1 piece of coal and 2 scrap metal. This may take some time.)
  Coal is dropped by Keeper and Scavenger mice.
  Scrap Metal is dropped by Scavenger mice.
  Splintered Wood can be bought from the Training Grounds General Store.
  
  3) Arcane Capturing Rod Of Never Yielding Mystery (ACRONYM)
  Crafting recipe: (12) Scrap Metal + (1) Onyx Stone + (3) Magic Essence + (1) Obelisk Parts + (1) Mysterious Blueprints
  
  Buy the Mysterious Blueprints at the Catacombs Trapsmith for $632,700.
  Obtain the Onyx Stone from the Master of the Dojo in the Pinnacle Chamber.
  Obtain Magic Essence by using the Hunter's Hammer on Super|brie+.
  The ACRONYM is by far the best trap to use in the Catacombs.
  
  Loot:
  The Front cover of Plankrun's journal is dropped by Keeper mice in the Catacombs.

  32. Where do I find more people to join my hunting group? Look for various Add Me lists instead of creating multiple Add Me lists. Feel free to add me.
  33. Why can't I access the Catacombs? You need to be at least Legendary AND your map needs to be fully restored by the Cartographer.
  34. I have not caught anything for X hours, am I doing something wrong? If you are using an Arcane trap and RB or Ancient cheese you are not doing anything wrong. You are just having a bad run.

  49. Do I need Plankrun's Front cover? No.
  50. I can't find the Onyx stone? You need to go to the Pinnacle Chamber and catch a Master of the Dojo mouse using Rumble cheese.
  51. Where is Super|brie+ sold? Click on the blue Donate button, or go to Friends, then Trade Super|brie+. SB+ can be bought in any location.
  52. Does donating increase luck? No.
  53. What happened to the Acolyte? It was accidentally released and has been caught.
  54. I do not have enough gold to buy X, where can I get gold? Please be patient and save your gold from catching mice. It is not recommended that you create a thread especially asking for gold.
  55. I do not have enough Super|brie+, where can I get free SB+? Download the MH toolbar and obtain 3 SB+ per day from doing searches. It is not recommended that you create a thread especially asking for SB+.
  56. This list is not comprehensive enough and my question is not answered here. Post your question(s) and someone will reply.
