Rodentia: Cruisin' the S.S. Huntington III

So, you've conquered the Catacombs with your ACRoNYM eh?


Feeling bored of the Catacombs? Then were off to the next region!


Preparations for Rodentia
For the first time, instead of a map piece from loot or buying it, were gonna craft it! However, be warned that this is no easy task and requires about 1.3 million gold!


If you're prepared, we'll get started with the recipe:-
  • 1x Ship Blueprints
  • 18x Scrap Metal
  • 70x Bolt of Cloth
  • 100x Rope
  • 900x Splintered Wood 
  • 1x King's Reserve Bubbleh
That's alot of items!! Along with many items, this ship also costs quite a fortune. However, we have a location called the Catacombs. To those who took the Whisker Woods path, you should try to explore this area.

For the Blueprints, if you've read the Whisker Woods section, the Blueprints are dropped by the Hydra. A tricky task though but the Hydra will drop some important items for the ship. However, you're gonna spend some time in the Lagoon due to it's strength and a guarantee that it won't drop the Blueprints.


However, there is another way of getting the Blueprints. For those lazy hunters who have plenty of gold to spare. Yes, we can buy the Blueprints at the Catacombs. However, the Blueprints costs about 750,000 gold! Not including the items you're gonna buy!


The other items...
Splintered Wood
If you remember, Splintered Wood can be bought from the Training Grounds General Store. However, saving gold for 900 pieces can be a problem. For those cheapskate hunters, the Treant will give off about 1-6 pieces per catch


Scrap Metal
If you're still at the Catacombs, try collecting at least 18 Scrap Metal. They are dropped by the Scavenger and Terror Knights. For those hunting at the Lagoon, the Hydra too drops a huge amount of Scrap Metal.


Clothes, Ropes and the Bubbleh
All these items can be bought at the Great Gnarled Tree's General Store. However, the Bubbleh costs a pretty penny of 210,000 gold.

Unfortunately, this ship can only be crafted by those hunters who are Legendaries or above. So sorry, to those Grandmasters. In the meanwhile, those who are sitting around can try out the Burroughs and Furoma if they haven't explore those regions...


If you're done, then were off to a journey like no other!


The S.S. Huntington II


Here in the S.S Huntington, the breeds are all Hydro types, which means that Hydro traps work well against them.


For the bait, you'd better stock up on Brie, try stocking up in Gnawnia before travelling here. Here in the S.S. Huntington, Bries costs 400 gold per piece!


For the traps, Physical and Tactical will also work here. Use your Ambush or Digby Drillbot and you'll do fine...


If you've browsed through the Trapsmith, you'd noticed two different Hydro traps, the Net Cannon and the Harpoon Gun . Both costs about nearly the same price at 664,000 gold.

However, the difference between these two are their power and luck. The Net Cannon has a high luck but sacrifices much of it's power while the Harpoon has a higher power but a lower amount of luck.


If you're planning to buy one, I recommend the Net Cannon, because it's luck is important here. Don't worry though, if you want the harpoon, smash the Net Cannon and craft the Launcher parts. The same for the Net Cannon, except for the need of a rope.

For the base, you might have noticed the Aqua Base. If you saw, it costs a slightly miserable price of 125,000 gold. Quite expensive isn't it? However, you'll need the base for it's 8 luck, since luck is becoming an important factor in the game

The Three Breeds
Anyway, if you're done shopping or whatsoever, arm your Brie. However, were gonna look for three specific mice in this Ship, which is the Captain, Bottled and Shipwrecked! Why? Because they all drop an important loot!
  • The Captain drops the Telescope.
  • The Bottled Mouse drops the Compass.
  • The Shipwrecked drops the Sextant.
If you've managed to get all three of them, craft them together and you'll get a map piece known as the Ocean Navigation Kit! With this, you'll be able to access a new region, the Tribal Isles.
