Training Grounds

A place of study, the students that train along the northern shore of the Burroughs River are indeed a worthy foe. Hunters who prove themselves as formidable opponents may earn the right to challenge the students’ teachers.

Overview

The Training Grounds is the first location in the Furoma region, and has a number of new mice that the hunter has not encountered before.

One of those new mice in this location may well drop the ticket to the Bazaar. A hunter will have to travel there to get their map repaired at the Cartographer in order to travel further into Furoma.

The Training Grounds also offers a few supplies that are required for creating the specialist cheese needed later in this region, as well as some items useful for crafting a number of traps.

 

Requirements

To hunt in the Training Grounds a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least Grandmaster.
    Shredded Furoma Map Piece, obtained from a Lycan Mouse in the Mousoleum, or a Mole Mouse in the Town of Digby.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    A Tactical Trap, or strong Physical Trap.
    At least Swiss Cheese.

 

Hunting Tips by Larry

Ah, so you’ve found your way to Furoma!

The mice here are highly skilled in the art of war. To be successful in hunting them, you’re going to need a Tactical trap. Visit the Trapsmith here, and he should have what you need.

It seems some merchants from far-off lands are setting up shop just south, in the Burroughs region. To gain access to their market, you’ll need to find a ticket. One of the mice here is sure to be carrying one…

 

New Mice

There are 6 new mice in the Training Grounds that a hunter won’t have encountered before, most of these new mice are also encountered in the Dojo, however the Dumpling Chef is only encountered in this location.

Cheese Shoppe

The Cheese Shoppe of the Training Grounds offers a small selection of cheese at prices 50% higher than those found elsewhere.

	Marble Cheese Marble offers a decent chance of attracting a variety of mice. Cost: 75 gold Refund: 50 gold
	Swiss Cheese Swiss offers a good chance of attracting a variety of mice. Cost: 150 gold Refund: 100 gold
	Brie Cheese Brie offers a very good chance of attracting a variety of mice. Cost: 300 gold Refund: 200 gold

 

Trapsmith

The Trapsmith of the Training Grounds contains a very small selection of one tactical weapon and two bases.

Weapons

Zugzwang’s Last Move (2,200 Tactical Power) Power Type: Tactical Power Bonus: 15% Attraction Bonus: none Luck: 7 Cheese Effect: Fresh Throughout the years Wizard Zugzwang’s creations have been spread across the Gnawnia Kingdom, being traded between experienced hunters and trapsmith. Zugzwang enchanted the pieces of his chess set to create a trap weapon capable of combating the clever mice in his tower. The pieces of this weapon come to life when a mouse approaches the trap’s bait, the battle that follows is quick and decisive. Cost: 415,000 gold Refund: 74,700 gold Points Required: 705,000

Bases

	Explosive Base (300 Power) Power Bonus: 5% Attraction Bonus: 5% Luck: none Cheese Effect: Stale A base made of plastic-explosive, the ultimate back-up plan for any weapon. Cost: 29,775 gold Refund: 5,360 gold Points Required: 22,500
	Bamboozler Base (200 Power) Power Bonus: 10% Attraction Bonus: 5% Luck: none Cheese Effect: Very Fresh The Trapsmith’s official name for this base is the Bamboozler, but among the populace, it has another, more sinister name: The Bamboozling Bamboo Base of Boo-Boos. Its fresh wood scent is irresistible to clean freaks, and boosts the attraction rate of your cheese, but that’s not all. The base is also precision built from only the strongest cuts of bamboo, increasing weapon stability and adding a power bonus. Cost: 90,000 gold Refund: 14,200 gold Points Required: 900,000

 

General Store

The General Store of the Training Grounds contains some supplies for crafting cheese, as well as items for crafting a number of traps.

Supply		Cost	Refund
	Burroughs Salmon The pollution being pumped into the Burroughs River seems to cause the local salmon to grow to massive proportions. Thinly sliced pieces of this tasty fish make for perfect Susheese.	150	50
	Curds and Whey Curds and whey are a common ingredient in a variety of cheese flavours. Elaborate flavours often require a greater quantity than more basic flavours.	12	3
	Nori Made from fresh seaweed growing along the shores near the base of the Gnawnia Mountains, nori is frequently used for preparing Susheese.	5	5
	Rice Paper This delicate paper is perfect for making room dividing walls.	220	220
	Salt Gnawnia salt is collected from the seawater around the Harbour where it is known for its magical cleanliness. Salt is a very common ingredient used in a variety of cheese flavours.	6	2
	Splintered Wood This wood is harvested from the northern forests of Furoma, where the trees almost seem to fight back against the hatchets. Perfect for building combat apparatus.	150	1
	Tiny Platinum Bar A solid bar of platinum. This looks expensive!	60,000	60,000

Goals

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

Catch a Mouse with Bazaar Map

This is probably one of the easiest map pieces to collect in the whole game, it is dropped by three different mice, one of which is very common.

Whilst it is easiest to collect using a tactical trap, a physical one will be able to collect it without waiting too long.

 

Catch a Monk Mouse with Plankrun’s Journal

This used to be a difficult goal to achieve, it has now been made irrelevant.

You should spend no extra time attempting to collect these journal pages as they are now available from student mice in the Dojo, which are much more common.
