Ways to Improve the Mousehunt Experience
Patience is a Virtue
Patience is required while playing Mousehunt and not only in the literal sense. Players may have to be patient until the next blow of the horn, but the real patience comes into it when waiting for a map piece, saving for a new trap or gaining enough points to level up.
There's no point in getting annoyed every time a piece of cheese is stolen, or a Mutated White steals some points or gold while hunting that elusive Lycan in the Mousoleum. The best thing to do in this situation is to take a deep breath, wait for the next horn and if a release of frustration is really necessary, head to the boards and have a good old-fashioned moan.
Cutting and running from an area just because a of a few red boxes in a row is also ill-advised, as travel costs are a real squeeze, especially for Mousehunter's of a lower level and can really add up whilst going unnoticed.
Experimentation
Don't be afraid to experiment with different setups and cheeses in different areas, as some mice are known to be more likely to be attracted to certain cheeses. On the other hand don't be too hasty to change a winning formula. Some hunters believe that if you are on a lucky streak it is best to stick with that setup rather than switching to a trap with better stats, while others take an opposing view. This is very much personal preference and is upto each individual hunter to decide upon themselves.
Things to Remember in Mousehunt
DTE (Don't Trust Everyone)
While the Mousehunt community is a friendly one, there are some unscrupulous members that will happily agree to trade, only to do a disappearing act once the half of the trade that benefits them is carried out.
The marketplace used to be the safest way to aquire Super|Brie+ from other players, but that has since been replaced with the 'Trading Hub' which is equally as safe, and should eradicate scammers IF everyone dealing with strangers uses it. It charges a 10% tariff but this is a small price to pay for piece of mind.
Competitions are also a great way for Hunters to get a little gold or Super|Brie+ boost, however as with most things in life there are people ready to exploit vulnerable Hunters by asking for a 'buy-in' before the competition begins, and then choosing a friend to 'win' before splitting the loot between themselves. That being said there are some that are some very good, legitimate buy in competitions(Naked Girl's Deal or No Deal contests for example), but as with the trading, don't be afraid to ask someone more experienced or active in the community before parting with hard earned commodities.
DTE Part 2 (Don't Trust Everything)
Numerous 'fake' locations have been cooked up on the boards, and although most are easily noticeable as jokes, some hunters have wasted gold, time and rare cheese following bogus instructions posted by other members.
While a lot of useful information is posted on the forums and the Mousehunt Wiki, bear in mind that the Wiki can be edited by anyone and that sometimes hunters on the message boards like to have a joke from time to time, so it's best to double check information or instructions before blindly following them.
Things to Avoid in Mousehunt
Beggars can't be Choosers
Begging for gold is not acceptable on Mousehunt and should be avoided at all costs. While it isn't written in any of the rules, it is heavily frowned upon, as long-time Hunter Ben Gwynne explains:
"New players should feel free to ask for advice, but not handouts. If the long time players think you could do with a helping hand they will give it, but directly asking will make people look at you in a bad light, and ultimately stop you being accepted into the community"
Begging someone to sell you some Super|Brie+ on the other hand is perfectly acceptable.
Finally...Cheating
While there were one or two ways to cheat at Mousehunt, they have been pretty well dealt with by the Developers and serious cheaters will inevitably be found out and removed from the game.
When asked about cheating Amie Pearson, another long-time MouseHunter said :
"There's no point to cheating at Mousehunt, its tough sometimes but it adds to the fun and makes it more satisfying when that great catch finally comes along.
"If you're considering cheating on Mousehunt, then there isn't much point in you playing the game. Like with most things, there's no accomplishment if you just cheat your way to the top"
The Mousehunt Community
Mousehunt is a great game that has developed a strong following and a good online community, and although occasionally some members may not get on, there is always someone willing to help out a hunter in need, if they ask.
