RONZA IS BACK!
And she took the Tribal Isles route.. meaning that she picked up a few goodies from there just for her favorite mousehunters (who can afford it)..
*She'd be comin' round Dracano when she comes..

A number of things to write about here and the first and best post on the Discussion Boards is by Doug Le.

Ronza's finally coming back
For those of you that have permanent cricks in the neck from looking up at the sky for the past half year, REJOICE!Ronza's returning tomorrow!
(well, ok adjust for your time zone).
And this time, you really don't have to rush much. She's dropping (geo-friendly) flyers that she'd be around for a couple of WEEKS. Yup, and she's stocking lots of stuff.
Have a look at The Flyer and you'd know what I mean.
There's also a hint that the iTunes mouse is returning as the Rockstar! Hope I get mine when Ronza's around.
Crafting Item - Ancient Box Trap Blueprint Pieces
Getting the four parts of the Ancient Box Trap Blueprints is a relatively easy cyclic goal at the Tribal Isles.You'd probably achieve the pieces while in the initial stages of the Pepper Trail.
Three of the pieces are dropped by the chief mice of the various tribal territories.
Ancient Frayed Blueprint piece - Elub Chieftain Mouse
Ancient Ripped Blueprint piece - Nerg Chieftain Mouse
Ancient Mangled Blueprint piece - Derr Chieftain Mouse
And you will be able to earn enough gold to buy the 4th piece from Cape Clawed's General Store after hunting for a lot of seeds in the 3 territories.
Craft the Ancient Torn Blueprint piece together with the other 3 pieces and you end up with the full Ancient Box Blueprint.
Now go over to the Jungle of Dread to gather the rest of the crafting items to make the Ancient Box Trap.
Updated MouseHunt Map
And now the MouseHunt Map is finally updated to show the Tribal Isles..
Yes, Ronza's still flying around.. :)

The Pepper Trail, Tribal Isles Walkthrough
The Pepper Trail is an expanded post from the Tribal Isles Walkthrough.
It gets rather confusing when you're trying to remember all that needs to be done to make the different Havari cheese strains.
Rather than describe all the 7 cheeses, we'll do "a picture painting a thousand words". I've drawn up a flow diagram that should simplify what needs to be done at this stage of this.

Click on the diagram to get a big picture.
The Pepper Trail cycle progresses from the Elub Shore (Blue Seeds), Nerg Plains (Yellow Seeds) and Derr Dunes (Red Seeds).
With any 2 seeds (different or same color) and a Plant Pot, you can make a Pepper plant of the respective color combination. Use one of each colored seed with the Plant Pot and you'd get the Inferno Plant.
Go to the Crafting/Inventory/Misc section and the Pepper Plants will be there. Click on them to pick them and you'd get 1 or more respectively colored Peppers.
You're now ready to make the Havarti, except that each Peppered Flavor has a slightly different recipe.
I've described this in the Havarti Hero post.
The Inferno Havarti, you would have to wait a little longer until you earn the Fire Salts..
Be prepared to do the Pepper Trail more than a couple of rounds - while you can catch each Havarti mouse about once in every batch (6 cheeses), it is unlikely that they will always drop the crafting piece needed to make the Ancient Box Trap. More about this in the Havarti Heros cycle coming right up..

Tribal Isles Walkthrough
You've reached the Tribal Isles after jumping off the Huntington II. So what now?
Ok, this is more like the Tribal Isles Run-Through, rather than a walkthough. It's going to be short, sweet and fast. I'll tell it first and then fix all the links a little later.
The Tribal Isles is a region with six areas having tasks and devices designed in somewhat cyclic steps. This ensures that the more experienced players have a fair bit of action and take a whole bunch of time. And we'll all get spanking new traps out of it.
Cape Clawed is the Home Base which you'd find yourself returning to often. To buy more Gouda, buy the new trap (Clockapult) and trap base (Tribal Base), the various other general store ingredients, catch the tribe elders (for the trap upgrade ingredients), and yes, buy much much more Gouda Cheese.
Trap Upgrading
Elub Shore, Nerg Plains and Derr Dunes are your first cyclic sets where you get the 3 new crafted cheeses. With these, you get to hunt the respective elders for their loot for the 3 new crafted traps. You'd get the Ancient Spear Trap (Hydro), Mutated/Horrific Venus Mousetrap (Tactical) and RhinoBot (Physical) through this ordeal.
The Pepper Trail
This is the second cyclic set where you are collecting Pepper Seeds, planting them to grow Pepper Plants, harvesting them to get the actual Peppers, and finally using the Peppers to make the 6 main types of Havarti Cheese. The Pepper Trail post describes this is greater detail.
The Ancient Box Trap Blueprints
The third cyclic set is only forms the blueprint of the Ancient Box Trap. This runs concurrently with the Seed stage of the Pepper Trail. You need to loot the 3 parts of the blueprints and buy the 4th. Simple..
The Havarti Hero
The fourth cyclic set brings you into the Jungle of Dread with the 6 types of Havarti Cheese. That's 6 shadow mice with 6 pieces of loot that finally helps you complete the new Forgotten Trap, The Ancient Box Trap.
Back to the Acolyte Realms
At this point, we take a short break from the Tribal Isles. Head back to the Acolyte Realms to get your new er.. Ancient Box Trap dirty.
The Dracano Knight
Sure, you're probably already a Knight by now. But this place works better with the Ice Maiden Trap that you craft after picking up some crucial (and cute) stuff at the Acolyte Realms. More updates coming...

The Clockapult of Time
At 2,700,000 gold (gasp!) it's the most expensive trap available on direct sale. Buy it at the General Store at Cape Clawed.
And it's now the strongest Shadow Trap available, overshadowing (sorry, pun) the Bottomless Grave. Of course, the other unfortunate pun is Time - it's no walk in the Meadows to earn this amount..
Will you regret it? You tell me - I'm still saving up for it..
For now, I'm forgoing the RhinoBot since I'm one of the early players that managed the get the PartyBot from Ronza, way back then.
I'm still wondering what's the connection between the havarti cheese and the clockapult.. Maybe someone could tell a story with this.
[Thanks Oliver - For the tip that the Bottomless Grave is good enough to survive the Jungle]
I've checked out the fight stats at furoma.com. The catch rate with the Grave is about 27% while the Clockapult gives about 36% success. So is the extra 9% worth the 1+ million in gold? you tell me :)

Dracano, Tribal Isles
As night follows day, you'd need to be a Knight to follow Dread (Jungle of).
Of course, what's a little hot lava for the avid mousehunter?
More about this area when I reach it (safely)..
This volcano is said to have long ago given life to the entire island in a massive eruption. For this reason the tribes have long worshipped the Dracano, bringing offerings of peppered cheese to a fearsome winged mouse they believe to be a deity.
Jungle of Dread, Tribal Isles
Not to mention rank with the smell of pepper and cheese. Poo..
You would now begin using all the strange concoctions of the Havarti Cheese that you have newly crafted. And have to own a Shadow trap that you had to sell your shirt and shoes to own.. But can you catch those elusive mice within the first batch?
You'd have to persevere though, for these mice certainly hold the secret parts of making the Acolyte-strength trap to make your journey back to the Realms a better reality..
Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap...And just when you thought you're done after crafting the Ancient Box Trap, you'd find that you have to get back here to find more Fire Salts, the key ingredient for the Inferno Havarti..
Tribal Base
At 499,600 gold this is an expensive must-have, especially if you do not have the Birthday Cake Base. What makes this base really sweet is the Power boost and the extra edge of Attraction - if you do the math, you'd realise that when paired with strong traps, the apparent weak power of the Tribal Base is meant to mislead..
Power Bonus: 18%
Attraction Bonus: 2%
Luck: n/a
Cheese Effect: Fresh
The three rival mouse tribes of Elub, Nerg and Derr very seldom come together, but when they finally get around to negotiations after their latest skirmish, they meet on this elaborately carved tribal mask. Only the eldest of the mice from all three tribes are allowed to work on constructing the meeting place, which is hallowed by the tribes-mice due to its origins in the Jungle of Dread. How frustrating for these master crafts-rodents that the trapsmiths co-opt their art for traps!
