Raccoon King Plot
This page is about the Raccoon King Plot initiated in the Mining Caves and contains spoilers.
The Raccoon King plot was released On September 16, 2015. The news post for its release began with a picture of the injured bird followed by a textual message:
"Please come help! They are here! They're are causing trouble. I need some help. I'll be waiting for you in the Mining Cave." Our new plotline is here! You'll discover parts of it as you explore in the Mining Cave. Pay close attention to all the maps as new, clickable areas will be made available (EVEN in the actual mining areas.)

Meeting the Injured Bird
One meets the injured bird at random whilst mining. The bird will appear in the actual cave image and you will be unable to continue digging until you choose one of the three options you're presented with: Ask what happened., Give the bird some medicine., or Ignore the bird. Ignoring the bird will cause it to simply go away, thus not beginning the plot line. Giving the bird medicine will cause it to thank you and leave you with the option to ask what happened or to walk away. Upon asking what happened, the bird will say "They... they have... returned! The... the... Raccoon King. -cries- They are... a vicious clan... of... of item thieves!". You can opt to look into it or not. The former will start you into the plot line, the bird thanking you and flying away.
Encountering Raccoons
After agreeing to look into the matter, you will eventually encounter a raccoon holding a piece of paper. You will have to go through both questions with him and pay him 80,000 WC for the information of where the Raccoon King is. After this he will run away and you will begin having random encounters with raccoon bandits. To effectively continue the plot line, you must choose the "Stop him!" option. The raccoon will run away empty handed, steal 10,000 WC, or steal one of the items from your inventory. Any items stolen will be returned to you upon completion of this plot line. If you're really worried about it, though, keep a list of what the raccoons take somewhere, such as in the description area of one of your wajas.
