What will happen if runic cheese go stale?
You get Stale Super Brie.
can Ancient cheese catch Acolyte
No, only Runic can attract the Acolyte.
Hey maybe you could add the fact that it becomes stale SB above and not at the comment:)
All the more since the rhinobot’s got an upgrade with stale sb as a requirement.
I wanted to comment at the (couldn’t find a place to comment but here’s what I noticed) Mechanics of MH>Results section where what percentage of cheese gets stale.
I was using ACRO+Explosive Base with Runic Cheese to get the stale SB at Elub Shore (Cheese Effect Ultimately Stale) and out of 9 Hunts 4 cheese became stale not the 100% as expected, could they updated the mechanics for stale-ism at 3.0?
Legendary’s runic potion conversion rate :
6 S|B+ to 6 runic cheese
3 gouda to 3 runic cheese.
I got the potions from the realm ripper’s egg,if you are wondering why a Legendary has runic potions.
Actually, I got runic potion when I was grandmaster from the Gift Egg during Spring Egg hunt 2011 and the conversion rate was the same as legendary and hero. So, I think for every rank under Hero is 3 gouda and 6 super brie.
i use 131 runic cheese and now i have about20 cheese more n i havent catch a acoltyte
hecka badass, i have spent almost 100 runic and with ABT/cc my catch rate is like …almost all miss, and no acolyte caught, only 2 attracted…help?
how to get stale super brie fast??? I need my Rhinobot !!! stale superbrie is the only ingredient i’m missing pls help !!!
You could stale runic cheese or you can hunt in Cape Clawed for Aged mice that drop it.
Also look out for when Stale Super Brie is the gift of the day and get your friends to send you some.
