Dracano

Dracano

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.

Overview

Welcome to Dracano, this location isn’t too tough to hunt in surprisingly considering the gold and points on offer.
However, collecting the special Inferno Havarti Cheese that is essential to hunt in this location can take a lot of preparation time, so chances are you either won’t be spending long here, or won’t be visiting too often.

There’s three new mice to hunt in this location that aren’t found anywhere else, and to hunt all three effectively you’ll want to use a Draconic trap, the only Draconic trap in the game at the moment is the Ice Maiden, and to craft that you have to have caught an Acolyte Mouse with a Frozen Scroll first.

So if you’re hunting with the Ice Maiden and using the Inferno Havarti, your only real choice for this location is which base to use, we all have our favourites, some prefer luck, others power, but in this location it’s not going to make a huge difference, so it’s probably best to go with the one you prefer.

 

Requirements

To hunt in the Dracano a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least .
    Have crafted the Ocean Navigation Kit.
    Inferno Havarti cheese.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    A Draconic Weapon.

 

Hunting Tips by Larry

You’re going in there? Are you insane? Well, I’ve never managed to stop you before. Let me know if you come back alive, and if you don’t. . . well, I guess I’ll just have to figure that one out on my own.

 

New Mice

There are 3 new mice in the Dracano that a hunter won’t have encountered before, and these mice can’t be found in other locations.


Draconic Warden

Dragon

Whelpling

Mice Populations

We currently do not have enough results for Mice Populations.

 

Inferno Havarti really is the only cheese to use in Dracano, some others have been tested, but they’ve all failed to attract any mice.

Goals

Here is a selection of Goals that a hunter may like to achieve:

Catch a Dragon Mouse

To catch a Dragon Mouse you need to use the Ice Maiden with Inferno Havarti, your only choice comes down to which base to use.

The Dragonbane charm is specifically designed for helping you hunt the Dragon, arming it can give you a noticable improvement in you catch rate, the only issue you have is collecting enough of them.

 

Collecting Dragon Embers

Dragon Embers are needed for crafting the map to Balack’s Cove and for crafting a new base, fortunately all mice in this location drop them, although the Dragon drops them most often.

Collecting the required number shouldn’t take the hunter too long.

Dragon Embers can be smashed to make Fire Salt, personally I wouldn’t recommend using them in this way. You never know when the Dragon Ember will have another use.

 

Hunting without a Draconic Weapon

For those who haven’t crafted the Ice Maiden, Dracano can still be a tempting location to hunt in.

Offering decent gold returns and some nice loot on offer, some hunters may wish to try weapons of different power types – but there are a few things to remember:

Non-Draconic Weapons will not catch the Dragon Mouse. If you want to catch this Mouse, use the Ice Maiden.

Non-Draconic Weapons often have higher luck than the Ice Maiden, meaning that you may well get more loot when hunting with them.

Due to higher Luck, non-Draconic Weapons may end up catching more mice overall than the Ice Maiden. This is because they can be much better at catching the Whelpling and Draconic Warden mice.

Thank you to all who have contributed so far and will do so in the future.

 

This article contains information relevant to MouseHunt v3.

  1. Sam Siebert says:

    I’ll try and do a Dracano cycle analysis. I have a sneaky feeling this will turn out to be more profitable than the Crunchy cycle in Derr, but will have to wait for new data with the changes in Longtail to be sure.

  2. Sam Siebert says:

    The loot from the dragon’s chest seems to be the following:

    Zugzwang’s Scarf (max. 1)
    Magic Feather (max. 1)
    Vanilla Beans (20-30)
    Pinches of Annoyance or Bottled-up Rage or Raisins of Wrath or Firesalt
    Delicious Stones or Savoury Vegetables or Seashells or Inferno Peppers
    Coconut Milks or Heat Bath Blueprints (max. 1)

  3. Any catch rates or analysis with MSB done yet? Want to know the best option between Ice Maiden with Magma / Tribal / MSB , all of them with Golden Shield of course.

    • I think moltenshrapnel would be a btr option compared to tiki. Tiki has an unique feature of having 6 extra luck when u r hunting for tribal mouse, bt at dracano it wouldnt have that feature.

  4. Olli, I thought the MSB was released to be a counterpart to the limited edition Magma, meaning they should have pretty similar catch rates. Am I right?

  5. Shadow and arcane weapons are “impossible” against all mice in dracano.

  6. Going to start a small run (60 Inferno Havarti) in Dracano with Ice Maiden/Tiki/Inferno/No Charm. Will post results when done. Small sample but better than nothing

    • Ice Maiden/Tiki (not Tribal) no LGS/no charm

      Summary:
      60 Inferno Havarti
      Total gold 354306
      Total points 368565
      Red boxes 6
      FTA 1
      Miss 24

      Loot:
      Chest 4
      Ember 9
      Shells 14
      Stones 11
      Coco Milk 7
      Vegies 1

      Chest contents:
      1 Magic Feather
      96 Vanilla Beans
      3 Raisins of Wraths
      7 Savoury Vegetables
      17 Coconut Milks
      3 Delicious Stones
      7 Fire Salt
      1 Heat Bath Blueprints
      2 Bottled-Up Rages
      5 Seashells!

  7. Hapless says:

    dragons are usually much worth, but they are difficult to catch!

  8. will start a 120 havarti run. where do I post my results?

  9. also, how do you open dragon’s chests? do you open them one at a time? or you open them all? I’m hoping to have a HBB. thanks!
