I'm betting Ronza will bring some sort of tactical upgrade. You can now upgrade the Sandstorm Monstrobot AND the Oasis Water Node. . . so that leaves one warpath trap that hasn't been able to be upgraded.

So some sort of "Sphynx's Revenge" trap or something like that

How does one upgrade the Water Node? I've seen the Monstrobot Upgrade for sale on the Marketplace, but I don't see a Water Node upgrade there...

The OWN upgrades to the POWN in the Living Garden. You have to get the parts and stuff there to craft it.

Ah, thanks. That explains it. I haven't been to the LG yet.

A Kitty upgrade would be awesome, but think of how much it would overpower Furoma even more...I think that's the main reason we haven't seen a Tactical upgrade in awhile, because it would skew the catch rates in Furoma to where you could be making even more gold then you can now. I mean, it's not like the LG (and I'm assuming above) is anything but cheap, but they have to keep it fairly balanced.

Of course, it's not like the catch rate in Furoma for MOJO's and SOJO's are all that great (I think it's 50/50 for MOJO's and less for Walters), BUT they're also worth 30k+ each AND the catch rate for Masters with a Kitty is pretty high.

So I dunno. Guess we'll have to see, lol.

I can see how that would be a concern. But it's also why I really want a Sphynx upgrade. Making that much gold would be awesome.

Also... "Walters"?

~Riella

Walter is a nickname in the MH community for the Dojo Sensei...to be honest, I have no idea why, lol. I knew at one point but I done forgot.

Walter is a pet name (on the forum) for SOJO. MH develops a language of its own ...
(Edit: I believe I've seen on the forum who chose the name, but I've forgotten, too )

I have just reached 15 mil gold. I must have got more than 1 mil from treasure lists during the event, and I've also sold some skins, and about 700 snowball charms.

As a 74% Baroness, prices in the new areas aren't an immediate concern for me. I'll have time for lots of trains and Furoma runs (I've got plenty of OG) before I can go there. There's even the gold sink of LG before that, though - and I've only got 1 SBM for the Monstro.

Furoma, FW/MM and trains are my immediate plans after the GWH.

So, for upcoming events, there is:

- Chinese New Year
- Valentine's Day
- MH Birthday
- Winter Olympics
- Easter
- Ronza's Visit

... Correct? Are all of these events going to happen this year? When are they happening? How many of them are going to be combined?

Also, what is Year of the Noble, and why is it called that?

Are all of these events going to happen this year?

As far as I'm aware.

When are they happening? How many of them are going to be combined?

Nothing has officially been announced. All I can do is look back at previous event dates and guess based on the dates of these events this year. I can tell you this, they did say during the last FBF that three events were going to be combined into one, and that was in response to being asked about a Winter Olympics event. I'm assuming that CNY, Valentines, and the Winter Olympics are those three.

Here are this year's actual holiday dates and last year's event dates...
- Chinese New Year - Jan 31st (Last year the Year of the Snake event was from Feb 11 - Feb 25)
- Winter Olympics - Feb 7th - Feb 23rd
- Valentine's Day - Feb 14th
- MH Birthday - March 7th (Last year the birthday party began with the arrival of Ronza on March 7 - March 18)
- Easter - April 20th (Last year's Egg Hunt ran March 25 - April 22)
- Ronza's Visit - ???? (It's been a long time since Ronza has come in less than a year)

So that should give you a general estimate of when to expect stuff. The actual holidays shift from year to year, so the event dates do as well.

Also, what is Year of the Noble, and why is it called that?

ETA: This probably isn't worth mentioning, but in the couple years they didn't release Leps, they had a mini-event for St. Patrick's Day. I don't recall that it's been something you need to save money for, and they're releasing Leps again, so yeah, probably not worth mentioning. But that's on March 17th in case you're wondering.

Last year St. Patrick's Day was during Ronza's visit. They gave us Shamrock charms for it - I've got 19, I guess they were for free, and they are basically Super luck charms with a green skin (quite pretty). I don't think there was any other event connected with it.

I must have got more than 1 mil from treasure lists during the event.

1.513 mil gold from 14 Nice and 20 Naughty treasure lists (some of them my own, but most other people's lists).

I won't open any more now, but use Snowball cheese and concentrate on collecting ice coins for the last hours of the event.

My lootz from the event. Ended up with over 800 Ice Coins; more than I had Wrapped Candies which surprised me because I remember Ice Coins being harder to come by last year.

I'm thinking that they've upped the numbers of prize mice since the royal event ended. Ever since it ended, I've missed 2 treasurer mice and a Snooty.

I don't know. . . maybe that could be a coincidence.

Oh yeah; I've missed several Treasurer in the last few weeks; they definitely tweaked some numbers there.

Speaking of tweaking numbers, I've noticed it's been a lot more difficult to catch Mojos and Sojos lately. Is it possible they've made it more difficult to catch them? Possibly because a Sphynx Upgrade is in the works, and they don't want it to become too easy?
