Wait!
There's no such rank!
We know. But before you continue, there's some stuff we want to tell you.
We highly recommend you read:
How to play : Basic information on the way Mousehunt works.
Mousehunt Wiki : Starting Guide, Basic logic of the gameplay, Basic FAQs
(please, at least glance through them a bit).

This is so that you have the basic understanding of Hunting, Points and Progress.
(mouseover for brief descriptions)

So it begins!
Larry (yes, the knight with the moustache) will help you with
everything you need to build your very first weapon.

Larry
He will also train you on how to use the Hunter's Horn,
the most important thing in Mousehunt.

Setting up.
Basically how it works:
-trap mouseover for description bait-

Weapon | Base | Cheese

combines to affect your

Power, Attraction, & Luck.

*Power Bonus and Attraction Bonus further increases them according to their %

~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~

POWER	Generally the most important stat. The higher the power, the more mice you'll be able to catch.
POWER TYPE	Only important after the rank of Master. Until then, ignore this.
POWER BONUS	It increases your total power by a %. Therefore, only important at later stages.
ATTRACTION BONUS	Attract Rate is the chance mice in that area will cometo your trap. Attraction bonus increases the chance that a mouse will come to you trap.
LUCK	A very controversial stat. Generally, the more luck you have, the greater the chance that you will catch a mouse that is actually too tough for your trap. If your trap has luck, you have a chance to catch even the toughest mice. Luck also affects your loot, but only by abit!
CHEESE EFFECT	When you fail to attract a mouse to your trap, your cheese will occasionally go stale. This is a random occurence when you fail to attract a mouse, and has nothing to do with how long you cheese has been there.

Freebies!
Larry will present you with a Wooden Base,
which is the first component of your weapon.

Wooden Base
Power: 35Cheese Effect: Very Fresh

As you catch more mice and increase in rank, you'll find that more and more bases will become available to you.

You will receive 25 pieces of Cheddar cheese, you'll also be given a choice between two traps:
the High Tension Spring and the Tacky Glue Trap.

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON.

Instead of going through the whole blah-blah of statistics...
Let me summarize.
If you want POWER then choose the High Tension Spring.
If you want to ATTRACT more mice, then choose the Tacky Glue Trap.
It all comes down to your personal preference.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already chosen one of the traps, don't sell/purchase the other!
You only need ONE of these.

Besides, you'll be upgrading your weapon quite soon,
and you'll have more opportunities to experiment with different set-ups later.
