Crafting 101

The MouseHunt Crafting Guide was created to make the whole ‘crafting’ experience a lot more fun and a little less daunting. Thanks, Tess Ofner, for your untiring efforts.. WHAT IS CRAFTING? Under your ‘inventory’ there is now a new tab called ‘crafting’. You will need to purchase and collect various ingredients and items in order to create (otherwise known as ‘crafting’) various cheeses and other items which you will need as you progress in the game. If you click on your crafting tab, you will see a form to the left. This form allows you to experiment with combining different items of varying quantity. If you try a combination that does not create an item you will keep your ingredients unless you have used the red slot. Using the red slot may (but does not always), result in failing to craft an item and losing all of the ingredients you attempted to combine. As you level up you will become less likely to fail when crafting because more and more ‘safe’ slots become available to you. When you have successfully crafted an item it is added to your inventory under its appropriate tab (i.e. cheese or traps). CRAFTING SLOTS Crafting slots are what allow you to combine various items. You can combine however many safe items you wish (in whatever quantity you choose) as your level allows. The safe/red slots for each level are as follows: * Novices cannot craft items. * As an Apprentice you have 1 safe slot and 1 red slot – a total of 2. * As a Journeyman you have 2 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 3. Therefore Journeymen can safely make White Cheddar. * As a Master you have 3 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 4. * As a Grandmaster you have 4 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 5. Therefore Grandmasters can safely make Susheese, Glutter & Combat Cheese as well as Rumble Recipe B. As a GM, if you try to make Rumble Recipe A, you WILL lose all your ingredients – this has been verified by one very sad hunter, so don’t try it! * As a Legendary you have 5 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 6. Therefore Legendaries can safely make Rumble Recipe A. * As a Hero you have 6 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 7. * As a Knight you have 7 safe slots and 1 red slot – a total of 8.

HOW TO CRAFT CHEESE AND OTHER ITEMS Ok, so now that you know what crafting is, how to do it and where to find the necessary ingredients, what can you make? Thanks to the pioneering efforts of some brave and very patient hunters, most of the work has been done for you.
