The Derr Tribe

This section is for those who plan to travel to the Derr Dunes. However, I recommend you to explore the Nerg Plains or Elub Shore first since venturing here could give you quite a hard time.

The Derr Dunes
The Derr mice are only weak to Physical traps and give off tons of gold. However, you might not be able to reap their profits as they'll redbox you silly and steal your points, gold and extra pieces of cheese.

If you used the Ambush at the Lagoon to get the ship blueprints, this means that your strongest Physical trap should be the Swiss Army or the NVMRC. However, these two weapons won't stand a chance in the Derr Dunes. To handle the tough mice of Derr, there are two options for you, unless you have an LE trap in your hands:-
  1. Buy the Digby Drillbot. If you haven't bought it, go to the Town of Digby and buy it now. For those wondering, it costs 405,000 gold. You'll also have to buy the Drillbot later since you'll be upgrading it to the Rhinobot, and then upgraded to the Enraged Rhinobot.
  2.  Craft the Onyx Mallet. This weapon has higher power and luck than the Drillbot. However, the Onyx Mallet is more expensive and cannot be upgraded. In the long run, you're gonna have to buy the Drillbot again to craft the Rhinobot. 
On my opinion, go for the Drillbot. Buying the Drillbot will save you some extra gold spent on the Mallet and use them to craft the Rhinobot instead.The Onyx Mallet
This section are for hunters who are persistent to craft the Onyx Mallet. To those hunters who wanted it, good luck getting the items.

Recipe:-
1x Onyx Mallet Blueprints + 12x Onyx Stones + 10x Tiny Platinum Bars
= Onyx Mallet

All the items for the Mallet can be obtained in Furoma. The Sensei drops the blueprints. If you've forgotten, you can get Onyx Stones from the Master of the Dojo and the Platinum Bars are from the Training Grounds General Store, costing 60,000 gold each.

Onyx Mallet (Physical)
Power: 3,800, Power Bonus: 12%, Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 6, Cheese Effect: Stale
Look at the Mallet's stats. Not much of a difference from the Drillbot's eh?

Delicious Stones
Now that that's settled, arm you Drillbot/Onyx Mallet with your Aqua base or any other luckier base with Gouda and start hunting in the Derr Dunes. 

Like in the other two tribes, the Derr mice drop a special loot known as Delicious Stones. Like the other two tribes, it's used to craft a special Derr bait known as Crunchy cheese.

Recipe:-
10x Curds and Whey + 20x Coconut Milk + 30x Delicious Stones + 30x Salt
= 15 pieces of Crunchy
                                         
10x Curds and Whey + 20x Coconut Milk + 30x Delicious Stones + 30x Salt + 5x Magic Essence
= 20 pieces of Crunchy
                                         

Now then, farm more Delicious Stones and craft at least 30 pieces of Crunchy Cheese and head to Cape Clawed.

 The Aged Mouse
Now that you're at Cape Clawed, your objective is to get the elder of the Derr tribe, the Aged mouse. Arm your Drillbot or Onyx Mallet with your Aqua Base and use your Crunchy Cheese to attract it.

The Aged mouse is not an easy mouse to catch, so be patient for a while.

Once you've caught it, it should drop a loot known as the Rhino Horn. If you still haven't got it, keep on catching the Aged till you get it.
Now that you've got yourself a Rhino Horn, it's time to craft the mighty Rhinobot...

Crafting the Rhinobot
With the Rhino Horn, you can now craft the Rhinobot. However, the Rhinobot needs a requirement of 16,000,000 points which not many of you have right now. If you still haven't meet the points requirements yet, you can go farm points in the Elub Shore or go to t

Recipe:-
1x Rhinobot Blueprints + 1x Digby Drillbot Parts + 1x Rhino Horn + 24x Stale Super|Brie+
= 1 Rhinobot

If you're not sure where to get the blueprints, it's sold at the Cape Clawed General Store at a miserable 940,000 gold. So you'd better go back to the Catacombs and start farming gold.

For stale Super|Brie+, this could be quite troublesome as Super|Brie has a nearly 100% catch rate nearly everywhere. However, there is a way to make it stale:-


1. Go to the Catacombs and arm your stalest setup, which should be the ACRoNYM+Explosive and start staling those Super|Brie.

2. Another way of getting stale Super|Brie is making Runic cheese stale. Just arm Runic cheese outside the Acolyte Realm with your stalest setup and you should see results.

3. For those who caught the Aged, you'll see that it also drops pieces of stale Super|Brie. You can continue catching him with Crunchy. However, most of you might have limited supplies of Crunchy.

Finally, smash your Drillbot and combine all the items together to create your mighty weapon!

Rhinobot (Physical)
Power: 4,950, Power Bonus:-Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 8, Cheese Effect: Very Stale
With this new trap, the mice of Derr won't stand a chance. But why stop there?? Go upgrade your Rhinobot into the Enraged Rhinobot!

The Enraged Rhinobot
Recipe:-
1x Rhinobot Parts + 6x Tiny Platinum Bars + 48x Stale Super|Brie+
= 1 Enraged Rhinobot

This time you're gonna have to fork over 360,000 to buy those 6 expensive Platinum Bars. You'll also need to stale another 48 pieces of Super|Brie after miserably staling 24 pieces.
Well, we'd better start staling them, this trap is worth it!

So, smash your Rhinobot and add the stale Super|Brie and Platinum Bars. The outcome, a monster of a trap!

Enraged Rhinobot (Physical) 
Power: 5,900, Power Bonus: 10%Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 20, Cheese Effect: Insanely Stale
With the sheer power and luck this weapon has, the power of the Derr mice will fall miserably. With this weapon, it is also possible to farm gold in the Derr Dunes. Oh, the wonders this monster brings...

The Tribal Base
If you've been busy browsing through the Cape Clawed's Traspsmith, you'll see a base known as the Tribal base.

Tribal Base  
Cost: 499,600 gold
Power: 175, Power Bonus: 18%Attraction Bonus: 2%, Luck: 0
The Tribal base has some high power bonus. However, if you saw the price tag, it costs a pretty penny. Some of you might have earned enough to buy this base, but some of you might not.

Before you buy it, many of your Tribal traps should do well enough with the Aqua base. Other than that, you're gonna craft a new base later which costs about 720,000 gold, so it's better to save your gold for later.

Now that that's settled, you might want to earn back some gold and more Delicious Stones. Thanks to the Enraged, you can now farm gold in the Derr Dunes. If you're not satisfied with your profits, you can always earn your gold in the Catacombs.

If you think you've got enough Delicious Stones, craft the Crunchy cheese and we'll start hunting for the Derr's Big Three!

The Big Three (Derr Edition)
Arm your crunchy here in the Derr Dunes and you'll attract the Big Three, the Guardian, Gladiator and the Derr Chieftain itself. You'll notice that the the big three each drops loot known as Red Pepper Seeds. Your main objective here is to get a Derr Cheiftain. Once you finally got it, it'll drop an Ancient Mangled Blueprint Piece. After getting it, keep on using Crunchy to farm Pepper Seeds and you can take advantage of the high amount of gold they're worth.

Before you move on, make sure you have:-
  •  the Ancient Mangle Blueprint Piece
  • at least 40 Red Pepper Seeds.
