Best use of Spooky Aura

November 08, 2018 | Faq

If you want to know how to maximise the effect of the Spooky Aura from the Halloween 2018 event,

then this article might help you.


Let's do a quick recap.

This bad boy grants you the following:

• 30% Power Bonus

• Chance to find Wealth Charms

• Chance to find Cursed Gold


What is Cursed Gold?

This item is dropped randomly as long as you have the Spooky Aura enabled.

The amount of Cursed Gold loot equals to the amount of any gold dropped by captured mouse.

Thus, if the mouse drops X amount of Gold, then you have the chance to find X amount of Cursed Gold.


You can then convert the Cursed Gold to Gold using your Hunter's Hammer with the rate of

1 Cursed Gold = 1 goldgold


You can see your aura duration by hovering your mouse on the Spooky Aura image in game.

If you have maximised the Aura time, then your aura will expire on December 1, 2018 (UTC).



Popular area to hunt


Furoma Rift

Minimum rank: Grand Duke / Grand DuchessGrand Duke / Grand Duchess

Active hunters: 1300-1400 hunters hunting here.


What hunters need to do here is to collect Battery Fragment to repair the batteries, and then enter the Pagoda to hunt more difficult mice.


The reason why people hunt here is to get golds from the boss mice: Ascended Elder MouseGrand Master of the Dojo MouseSupreme Sensei Mouse.


The Aura Power Bonus will definitely help catching these mice in the Pagoda. 

It is optional to equip any Wealth Charm.


If you are not high enough to hunt here, you might also want to hunt in the non-rift counterpart area which is 



Fort Rox

Minimum rank: Baron / BaronessBaron / Baroness

Active hunters: 1700-1800 hunters hunting here.


A dark long night battle to gather materials to upgrade your fort and to reach Heart Of The Meteor Mouse. Nice 1,000,000 goldgold drop, nice item loots too to sell to Marketplace. If you get Cursed Gold when capturing HOTM, then it means quick 2,000,000 goldgold for you.


The Aura Power Bonus is going to be a great boost to capture any night mice especially at the end of the night.

It is optional to equip any Wealth Charm.


Build the wall and Make Fort Rox Great Again!!




LabyrinthZokor

Minimum rank: Duke / DuchessDuke / Duchess

Active hunters: 2500-3000 hunters hunting here.


Any veteran hunters know how painful it is to get to the Minotaur door, even if you have all the advanced equipments. The Retired Minotaur Mouse boss drops 1,000,000 goldgold. Imagine if you can double that with the Cursed Gold


Again, the Aura Power Bonus helps in capturing the mice to reduce getting any dead end clue, especially when you hunt without any light.




Minimum rank: Grand Duke / Grand DuchessGrand Duke / Grand Duchess

Active hunters: 2000 hunters hunting here.


It is fun to hunt here. And with the help of the Spooky Aura, hunters can collect the Time Sand easier and faster to face off the boss, Absolute Acolyte Mouse. The treasure that most people want here is the Timesplit Rune which is the main ingredient of Timesplit Dissonance Trap, which is the current Best Rift Trap.

Ful'Mina's Tooth is the grand prize in this area. At least 3 is required to craft the Storm Wrought Ballista Trap, the second best Draconic Trap

Whisker Woods Rift

Minimum rank: Duke / DuchessDuke / Duchess

Active hunters: 500 hunters hunting here.


Since it is hard to maintain the rage balance to catch the big boss in this area, the Spooky Aura power bonus might provide some assistance here. The boss is Monstrous Black Widow Mouse. Some hunters are hunting here to prepare for the next Lunar New Year infinite Black Widow loop.




Living Garden area

Minimum rank: Baron / BaronessBaron / Baroness

Active hunters: 700-800 hunters hunting here.


Collecting the Essences feels tedious here. With the Spooky Aura power bonus, perhaps it feels less boring for you.



Other areas that might interest you:

King's Gauntlet

The Eclipse Mouse drops 300,000 goldgold per catch. Combined with the chance to get Cursed Gold, this might be a good gold farming area.

Just to collect some Diamond for crafting things.

If you fancy to do double run or simply you want to meet Chess Master Mouse. Checkmate!!


Fiery Warpath

Warmonger Mouse drops, catching first Artillery Commander Mouse, crowning Gargantuamouse, and many fun things of your choice.


Iceberg

For new players who have not caught Deep Mouse, the Aura can help you here.





You might also use the Spooky Aura for Crowning any mouse you want, Tournaments, and Treasure Map hunting.





Doubling the gold Drops

If you are looking to get the chance of doubling the gold drops, the following is the list of the mice with high gold drops.

If it manages to drop the Cursed Gold, then you will get double the amount of listed below.

You can get a bit more gold if you equip Extreme Wealth Charm or Super Wealth Charm.

Note that the Cursed Gold only doubles the gold drops excluding the Wealth Charm bonus.


FYI:

In the Feedback Friday a few weeks ago, Dave mentioned that the Lunar Lantern Year is gonna return, so it might be a good idea to store the Wealth charm for that event.
