Meditation Room

The second floor of the Pagoda is where the Masters of the three cheese schools meditate and study. These Masters are far too wise to go for conventional bait. Instead, a hunter will need to craft very specific bait in order attract each master.

This article is currently out of date with the release of Longtail, we are adding the latest information as we find it.

Overview

The Meditation Room is home to the three masters of the various schools of Furoma, along with their poor servants, the Hapless mouse.
Hunters should use one of three special types of cheese to attract the masters here, and collect shards from the masters. These shards can either be used for creating a new powerful Tactical trap, or for creating a special cheese to be used in the Pinnacle Chamber.
Strong Tactical traps are highly recommended.

Requirements

To hunt in the Dojo a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least Grandmaster.
    Furoma Map Stitch, obtained from the Cartographer in the Bazaar.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    A Tactical Trap.
    Combat, Glutter or Susheese Cheese.

Hunting Tips by Larry

Larry QUIET! Can’t you see I’m trying to meditate?!

Oh, you’re probably looking for some advice on how to hunt in the Meditation Room.

The Meditation room is where the masters of the three Furoma schools study and meditate. As you would imagine, the masters are much more experienced than their students and are much more difficult to catch. The masters are not attracted to conventional types of bait. You will need to collect tokens from their students in the Dojo to make Susheese, Glutter and Combat cheese. If you need help with crafting, try reading the research of other hunters on the MouseHunt Wiki.

The three schools were once united under a single seal that represented the teachings of Furoma. Over time, the three schools drifted apart until eventually they shattered the seal into three shards to represent their distinct styles. Should you be able to collect these shards, you will find them very useful in your crafting.

New Mice

The Meditation Room contains three new mice, the Masters of the Cheese Belt, Claw and Fang.

Cheese and Mice

Here we give an overview of the mice that can be encountered in this location, and how often you can expect to see them using various cheese.

The Mice of the Mediation Room

Here is a breakdown of the various mice that can be found in the location, and what loot they might drop:

Mouse	Power Type	Loot
Hapless	Tactical	Ambush Trap Blueprints
Master of the Cheese Belt	Tactical	Master Belt Shard Satchel of Gold worth 1,000 gold
Master of the Cheese Claw	Tactical	Master Claw Shard Satchel of Gold worth 1,000 gold
Master of the Cheese Fang	Tactical	Master Fang Shard Satchel of Gold worth 1,000 gold

Mice Populations

Here is a breakdown of the populations of mice in the location based upon cheese used (these results come from our survey), the values given are a percentage of all attractions, and how many of these mice you are likely to attract in 100 hunts using base attraction:


	Mouse	Combat	Glutter	Susheese
	Hapless	0.51% (0.46)	1.37% (1.21)	2.03% (1.82)
	Master of the Cheese Belt		98.63% (87.14)
	Master of the Cheese Claw			97.97% (87.76)
	Master of the Cheese Fang	99.49% (88.59)

Hunts Submitted		1,341	1,334	1,312
Base Attraction Rate		89.05%	88.35%	89.58%

Each of the three cheese is the best to attract their respective masters.

Setup Options

Here we present you with a selection of results from our survey to give you an idea of how well the various setups work, and what sort of results you may expect to see when using them. Please remember, if you do not see the setup you are interested in here, it is because we do not currently have enough hunts submitted with that setup. Please submit your hunts to our survey, and encourage others to do so too.

Here’s a quick overview of how the different power types perform overall:

Power Type		Performance	Comments
	Arcane		Useless against all mice
	Draconic		Useless against all mice
	Forgotten		Useless against all mice
	Hydro		Normal against all mice
	Parental	No Stars	Normal against all mice
	Physical	No Stars	Normal against Hapless Mouse, Less Effective against Master mice
	Shadow		Useless against all mice
	Tactical		Very Effective against all mice

Normal Setup Options

We currently do not have enough results for normal setups.

Limited Edition Setup Options

We currently do not have enough results for limited edition setups.

Goals

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

Catch Master Mice

Master mice are the only goal of the Meditation Room: they drop Shards used to make the Ambush Trap and cheese required for the Pinnacle Chamber.
Hunter’s armed with the correct cheese and a decent Tactical trap should have little trouble catching these mice.
