1.Swiss Army Mouse Trap
2.Explosive Base
3.Stocked yourself with about 300~400 Swiss Cheese
I warn you, this is not for the faint of hearts. Mice around these areas are SO adapted, they could Steal more than just the cheese. Its called Pillage, and it comes in a form of red boxes. Mice can steal almost everything, from the most precious of gold, followed by cheese and EVEN points. So be wary of these mice as they will lower your profit by many times. Pillages on happens when you attract a mouse but not catch it. This is some sort of percentage as well, it doesn't mean that once you attract but fail to catch you will get a red box, sometimes they will still grey box you (Not getting Pillaged).
Sorry if it's a little blurred, but it is a Zombie Mouse and it pillaged me by 1372 points. That is like 10 White Mouse!! :(
Marble Cheese does not have a good attraction rate on the mice in the Mountain or the Calm Clearing. So changing your cheese now would be a pretty good idea, you should have quite a couple of gold already, changing cheese would not be a problem.
So the question arises. Where do we go!? The Mountain or the Calm Clearing? This is up to you, in the previous post, I recommended the Mountain. So let's start with the guide on the Mountain first.
MOUNTAIN
So you have traveled North, up into the mountainous areas. The mice there are practically almost the same breeds, but stronger. The only thing you need to do at the Mountain is to get a NEW MAP PIECE. The Map Piece leads you to another Region, the Burroughs. The place is called the Laboratory, there you will meet tons of new mice, its a cool place. To get the new map piece, you need to catch a Ninja Mouse. It is quite hard to attract but it is catch able for your Swiss Army Mouse Trap. Once you catch one, hope for a Map Piece because some mice don't drop it. After you get the mouse you can say goodbye to Gnawnia. Told you there was little things to do here.
CALM CLEARING
So in order to even get to have the Whisker Woods Region in your travel map, you should have:
1.Caught a granite mouse with the Calm Clearing Map Piece in Harbour.
2.Stocked up on cheese, about 300~400 swiss cheese.
3.Have at least the Swiss Army Mouse Trap and Explosive Base.
4.Reach the rank of the Orange Shield, JourneyMan.
Once you completed points 1~4, you are ready to hunt. Use the Swiss Army Mouse Trap and Explosive Base, armed with Swiss Cheese. In the Calm Clearing, there are alot of new breeds, mice that adapts to the forested area. Firstly, how to get your new map piece to the next area. Cyclops Mouse drops the Great Gnarled Tree Map Piece, but it is a tough mouse to crack, it is also quite rare in Calm Clearing. Besides getting the Map Piece, there is also another reason to stay here. If you are lucky, Dwarf mouse in the Mountain drops a loot called the Splintered Wood.
This wood is very useful in further parts of the game, so collecting plenty now would lessen your burden. To be exact, you need about 905 Splintered Woods later on in the game. Don't be scared by the amount, there will be a general store where they sell the Splintered Wood, but collecting it now will make it cost less. Okay, so the Treant Mouse drops the loot, dropping up to 7 at one time. So do as much as you can, collect as much Splintered Woods as possible.
Dehydration Base
Power:225%
Power Bonus:0%
Attraction Bonus:5%

Cheese Effect:Insanely Fresh
Notice that it is weaker than the Explosive Base, maybe not, it gives you the extra 4 Luck with exchange of the Power. This base cannot be bought from a Trapsmith, it has to be crafted.
1 Dehydration Base Blueprints
+ 312 Salt
+ 4 Splintered Wood

Moving On
Go to the mountain at about 70% if you have not went there.
If you went there already, stay here till you are 100% JourneyMan, Good Luck in RANKING :D
