After nearly a month of celebration, Novitaria has finally reached its conclusion. Noviteggs will no longer be sold in NPC shops or be rewarded for quests, but don't fret -- the Novitaria Shop is open year-round! If you haven't done it already, you'll want to gather up your empty eggshells and turn them in to exchange for Novitaria Credits.





With these credits, you'll be able to buy an array of Novitaria themed prizes, including these five new Items: the Magical Novitaria Brush, Chocolate Covered Stamp, Ori Hatchling Plush, Green Noviteggs And Ham, and the Special Delivery Avatar! Aren't they simply adorable?



Just a heads up for anyone participating; the deadline for the Novitegg Colouring Contest is getting close! Make sure to submit your beautifully crafted eggs to Nexinhah by April 26th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. If you haven't already started on your entry, you still have time to join in! As always, there's tons of fun prizes to be won.





Tables are being wiped down, signs are appearing all over Terrafrost, and the Voting Booth is open once again. All of this hustle and bustle can only mean one thing! It's time to vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to 3 users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.



Two winners will be chosen each month, one for the Free Vote MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, and the Yet to Win MOTM, which includes anyone who hasn't previously won MOTM. If you win the Free Vote and you have already won MOTM, you will receive an Honoured Member Trophy.



Remember!

- You cannot nominate yourself or members of staff.
- Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members.
- Send your nominations here!

You have until April 30th at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on May 1st!

The end of Novitaria is just beyond the horizon; after tomorrow, Novitaria-themed items will no longer be stocked in shops, and Noviteggs will also no longer be hidden around the site. But before we wrap it up for the season, we want to make sure everyone makes the most of it! Noviteggs will have a decreased rarity until they're removed from NPC shops on April 20th; in other words, they'll be stocked a lot more often, so you'll have plenty of chances to snatch them off the shelves.

Once Novitaria is officially over, it'll be time to give out some trophies! These will be awarded based on how many Noviteggs you've found. It's not too late to win yourself a shiny reward, so hunt while you still can!



Time to make a stop at the Plushie Palace! You certainly don't want the new Che'etWan Plush missing from your collection. This adorable and cuddly Plushie, funded by @Lokki, is a must-have for Plushie lovers all across Terrafrost. Starting next week, you can get it as a reward from the Book Quest, and Samuel will be asking for them in his Plushie Quest as well.

You hear distant sea shanties, and you spot a ship on the sea's horizon... Look atop the mast, and you will catch a glimpse of the mighty Pirate Krittle! This adventurous new Pet, funded by @Cibola, is bursting with pride and ambition, but after a long and tiring journey, it wants nothing more than a friend to cuddle up to.

If you'd like a Pirate Krittle of your own, you'll want to get your hands (or hook?) on a Pirate Krittle Morphing Potion. This Item can be found at the ICE Shop for just 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Users) until the end of the month. It can also be found at the Token Booth year-round!

And that's not the only pet we're introducing today!



The fierce and elegant Mythical Xephyr, funded by @WildFloof, has also made its grand arrival to Terrafrost. Within this Pet lies immense power, but what they truly seek is a loving home and a good stock of Beauty Items. You'll want to make sure to brush them daily!



Want this magical creature to be a part of your family? You'll need to own a Xephyr, first; then, you'll have to head over to the I.C.E. Shop and buy yourself a Mythical Snow Jar. They can be found year-round for only 500 IC (450 for Gold Users).



Are you a fan of the Mythical Xephyr, but you can't get your hands on the real thing? Don't worry -- with this new Pet comes its Plushie counterpart! The Mythical Xephyr Plushie, also funded by @WildFloof, will be stocked on the shelves of the Plushie Palace, and will be given as a reward from the Book Quest. A week from today, Samuel will be asking for it in the Plushie Quest.



As we make our way into the warm and lively season of spring, you'll want to keep an eye out for the Springtime Surprise Basket. True to its name, within this neatly-woven basket is a wonderful spring-themed surprise. Two brand new Items have been added to the possible gifts that you can find inside; the Baby Jexta Plushie and the Companion known as the Chubee. The basket can now be found at any NPC Shop (except for Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch) and rewarded from quests until April 29th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.



Got a sweet tooth? Starting this weekend, the Candy Quest will be doubling its daily limit and prizes. This will last until April 18th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so stock up on some goodies and get your head in questing mode!

The wings of the Fairy Jakrit are now shimmering more than ever, because they've gotten a makeover just in time for Novitaria! This adorable Pet, along with the Fairy Jakrit Morphing Potion, have been freshened up in our most recent round of spring cleaning. Take a moment to marvel at their stunning new designs!



Do you want to have the newest, most festive Pet in Terrafrost? There's two ways to get it! First, you can obtain a Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion for the chance to receive a Fairy Jakrit Morphing Potion. Alternatively, you can cut out the middleman and purchase the Morphing Potion at the I.C.E. Shop for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users). You'll want to act quickly, though, because it'll only be in stock until the end of April.

Be sure to click Ctrl+F5 or Fn+F5 for a hard refresh to see any updated images.

Feeling the spirit of Novitaria? Here's another festive way to spend your time in between egg hunting -- it's time for the Novitaria Colouring Contest! This year, we're doing things a little bit differently; instead of the usual illustration that you'd colour in, we're asking our contestants to decorate real life eggs to look like Noviteggs. To those living in egg-free households, a round object such as an orange or a stone will work just as well.

Rules:
1. All work submitted must be your own. You cannot ask another User, friend, or family member to decorate the egg for you.
2. Only one entry per User.
3. You must paint or colour a real object with no digital manipulation involved.
4. You do not have to use an egg; any round object is allowed!
5. All entries must be considered appropriate under the Terms and Conditions of IcePets.
6. Keep your entries private; don't share them with other Users before the contest ends!
7. Your image must be uploaded and sent to Nexinhah by April 26th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. It does not matter how you upload it so long as it is submitted to @Nexinhah before the deadline. You only need to submit the image URL.

Stay on the lookout, stamp collectors! Five magical new stamps are being stocked at the United Terrafrost Post Office. Among these new additions are the Ice Fairy Stamp, Space Fairy Stamp, Fire Fairy Stamp, Wind Fairy Stamp, and the Earth Fairy Stamp, all funded by @Cibola. You certainly won't want these beautiful additions missing from your stamp book!



With Novitaria in full swing, the Five Random Noviteggs and Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion have returned to the ICE Shop. The former can be purchased for 250 IC (225 for Gold Users), and the latter is priced at 500 IC (450 for Gold Users). The Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion can also be spotted at the Snow Jar Igloo, as well as the Novitaria Store for 300 Novitaria Credits. You'll want to start saving up your cash and Noviteggs, because this will only last until April 30th, 23:59:59.

Speaking of Noviteggs, the rarity of Noviteggs in NPC shops has been lowered! That means you'll see them far more often. More eggs means more prizes and more Novitaria Credits!

It looks like the Jakrits made more Noviteggs than the Makoats can hide... That's good news for you, because now there's more opportunities than ever to get your hands on these Novitaria-themed prize capsules! All NPC shops (except for Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch) will be stocking their shelves with some Noviteggs. In addition, Noviteggs will be given out as possible rewards in Quests.

The Jakrits have finished painting and stuffing the prizes into their carefully-crafted eggs, and the Makoats have begun skillfully hiding them all throughout Terrafrost. It's official: Novitaria is here! To those who aren't familiar, Novitaria is a yearly celebration of life, from the smallest of Companions to the biggest of Novyns. With this celebration comes the annual Jakrit Hunt!

Colourful Noviteggs, which are filled with a variety of fun prizes, can be found all throughout the site. This includes three new Noviteggs which have been released: the Fairy, Dreamworld, and Woodland Noviteggs! As always, all three of these items can be frozen in the Ice Box and stashed in your Ice Cube collections.



There are two ways to obtain Noviteggs. First, you can find the Five Random Jakrit Eggs image hidden on any page of the IcePets website, and when you click on it, a Jakrit will gift one Novitegg to you. You can collect 50 of these a day! Alternatively, you can discover stockpiles on specific pages. Click on the stockpile, and a Novitegg will be gifted to you by a Makoat. The locations of stockpiles will change every ten minutes. We encourage you to share the stockpile locations with other members of the community!

At the end of Novitaria, trophies will be gifted to the users who collected an outstanding number of Noviteggs from Jakrits and Makoats. The celebration ends on April 19th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so get hunting!



All of the Noviteggs have been updated to the new use feature, similar to Ice Cubes, with the exception of the I.C.E Novitegg. Rather than delay the event, we are asking you to please do not open the I.C.E Novitegg until we post in the Change Log that it has been updated. Using this Novitegg will result in the User not receiving a prize.
