Overview

After a hunter reaches the title of Recruit they can travel to the Town of Gnawnia.
This location has a well-stocked cheese shoppe and trapsmith that mean a hunter may want to travel back here repeatedly during their hunting in the Gnawnia region to get more supplies or upgrade their traps.
The Town of Gnawnia has a number of tougher mice, which can make it a difficult location for new Recruits. However this is the first location in which a hunter can encounter the Master Burglar so hunters may wish to return here later to collect that mouse.

Requirements

To hunt in the Town of Gnawnia a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least Recruit Recruit.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    Any Weapon and Base.
    Any Cheese.

Most cheese can be used in the Town of Gnawnia, but a hunter will probably want to use at least Marble. White Cheddar can be used in the Town of Gnawnia given that it drives away the Brown, Grey and White mice, allowing a hunter to attract more profitable mice. However a hunter will need to balance attraction and power to be able to catch the mice that are attracted.

A number of the mice in this location favour the use of Super Brie over any other cheese. Hunters wishing to attract these mice are recommended to arm this cheese.

As such you might want to wait until you have improved your trap and collected some cheese before returning to the Town of Gnawnia to catch this mouse.
