Mouse Races

Mouse Races

We were all newbies once, hunting mice…

Now it is time to walk in their skin!

Start

After an administrator announcement in the public chat, every online character of the matching level automatically receives a personal Mouse Teleport. From that moment the contest timer starts; it lasts 30 minutes. To take part, use the received teleport at once; your character will then appear on the “star» in the «Mouse Holes», where they are temporarily bound (when the quest ends all participants receive quest “returners” and and are moved back to their usual spawn).

Location.

In the upper part of «Mouse Holes» are Cheese (red marks), Bread (blue marks) and Meat (pink marks).

:!: Warning! Using the item «Road Home», moves the character to their main bind point (they leave the quest zone).

Tasters.

Take the quest from Taster, then run to the matching food and loot the trophy (Good Cheese from Cheese, Balyk Slice from Meat, Peace of Bread from Bread). Rush it back to Taster and turn the quest in — in return you receive Tested Cheese, Tested Bread or Tested Balyk, respectively.

If the player dies, the current quest item vanishes and the Taster quest becomes “Failed”, i.e. you must take the job again. Quest trophies will not drop unless you already took the quest from the rat.

Kitchen.

To win, tested ingredients are not enough — you must cook a Sandwich. Complete a quest from each Taster; once you have Tested Cheese, Tested Bread and Tested Balyk, go to a Laboratory; Tested Bread — this is recipe is a recipe: learn it, then press “Brew». Try to cook as many Sandwiches. A finished Sandwich can also be obtained by killing the Rat King.

Quest objectives.

Objective – finish in the top ten. The prize-winners are the ten participants who scored the most Sandwiches. The personal prize pool of each player in the top ten depends on that amount. We strongly advise you not to drop Sandwiches or other quest trophies or pass them to other players before the results are announced.
