Phew! Thanks to everyone's hard work, the NPCs around Terrafrost are well-stocked for the approaching fall season. The Weapons Trido and his companions are putting the final touches on their special reward... But who's this, now?
A Dreamworld Makoat approaches and sweeps into a bow. "Wonderful day, Terrafrostians. Such a pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Penelope, and my dear friends have been so kind as to help build the signs and banners for me." She gestures at the back rooms of the Battle Shop, from which the Weapons Trido emerges bearing a link!
"I love Books," Penelope continues. "I love curling up with them at night, or on a rainy day, or outside on the grass in the sun. There's never a bad time to read a Book. They always relax me, whisk me away to another world. I want to share that experience with everyone, how a good Book can let you drift away from your worries. My little collection grew too big to keep in my parlour, so I'm setting up space for a brand new Book Quest!"
She picks up a stack of Books almost taller than herself. "I'm moving in right away, and it's my dream -- hehe, dream, get it? -- to set up a cosy, relaxing space for Pets of all shapes and sizes to come read, nap, and get away from the world for a while. Bring me Books to place on the shelves, and as a token of my thanks, I'll send you home with a little something to help you relax and fall asleep at night." Penelope hefts her stack of Books and toddles off, pausing to wave you after her. The Weapons Trido carries a big, painted sign over his head that says Book Quest and is covered in Dreamworld clouds and swirls. The Grooming Stylist pushes a trolley with two empty bookshelves, and the Baby Traptur hauls a bag of pillows and Plushies. Everything is just about set up!
Of course, this also means that the Prize Goal of 10,000 Quests has also been hit! Trumpets and fanfares all around! As outlined on the Contests Page, the prizes have been divided into three tiers. The number of Quests you completed relative to the other participants determines your tier.
Top Tier Gold Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 200 Quest Points 2 random (unread) Books added to your Pet with the most unique Books read Additional Pet Slot unlocked
Middle Tier Silver Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 100 Quest Points 1 random (unread) Book added to your Pet with the most unique Books read
Bottom Tier Bronze Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 50 Quest Points 1 random (unread) Book added to your Pet with the most unique Books read
Don't give up Questing yet, however! There are still many prizes to be won. Keep pushing for that 12,000 goal to unlock the first Stretch Goal, as outlined on the Contests Page. And who knows, maybe our hosts have prepared even more surprises, if we keep it up!

It's that time again! Wherever you are in Terrafrost, head to the nearest voting booth and cast your vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to three users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.
Two winners will be chosen each month. One lucky new winner will be honoured with Yet to Win MOTM, for those who have yet to be recognised for their community contribution. Then there is the Free for All MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, for those long-time members who deserve another tip of the hat. For those who have already won MOTM, you will receive the 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 the end of the month to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

Terrafrostians, the time has come! Make space in your Inventories, organise your Storage, and double-check your Shops, because it's time to Quest, Quest, Quest!
The Site-Wide Questing Contest is underway, and you have from now until September 17th 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) to complete as many quests as you can! The Weapons Trido has implored your help to support the vendors around Terrafrost. To ensure they are adequately supplied for the coming fall, he hopes that everyone's combined efforts can manage at least 10,000 Quests in that time:
Main Goal: 10,000 Quests
When this goal is hit, our Misty Isle hosts have a very special reward to unveil. To sign up and have your Quests count toward the goal, you MUST click the "Sign Up" button on the Contest Page. (Quests will count from the day you sign up onward, so if you have already completed your Quests for the day, they will still be counted as long as you sign up today!)
As the secret Main Goal is hit, we will also hit the Prize Goal for more goodies. Those who participated will be divided into either the top, middle, or lowest tier based on how many Quests they've completed by the end of the contest. There will also be new trophies awarded for your profiles! (Please note there IS a minimum requirement, so if you sign up and only do a few quests, do not expect to be eligible for prizes.)
Prize Goal: 10,000 Quests
Top Tier Gold Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 200 Quest Points 2 random (unread) Books added to your Pet with the most unique Books read 1 Pet Slot unlocked on your account
Middle Tier Silver Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 100 Quest Points 1 random (unread) Book added to your Pet with the most unique Books read
Lowest Tier Bronze Questing Contest 2018 Trophy 50 Quest Points 1 random (unread) Book added to your Pet with the most unique Books read
After these prizes are unlocked, there will be additional Stretch Goals with even more rewards. If you want to keep track of the goals and prizes, check out the Goals & Prizes tab on the Contest page. And just a reminder to sign up here to make sure your Quests are counted!

After the madness of the Restocking Contest earlier this year, the poor vendors of Terrafrost found themselves nearly cleaned out of their stock. They've been struggling to keep up with demands, but as the back-to-school season approaches, there's going to be a surge of business that has everyone worried. The Weapons Trido has finally issued a call to arms: Terrafrostians, organise! The NPCs need a helping hand, and who better than a battalion of Glacia's finest Questers to march out there and retrieve Items they need!
The Weapons Trido is drawing up plans and running training drills, because in two days, on August 24th 00:00:01 (IcePets Time), he's called every Terrafrostian to participate in a Site-Wide Questing Contest!
You see, the Weapons Trido started worrying about this a few weeks ago, and he recruited his friends around Misty Isle -- the Grooming Stylist and the Baby Traptur -- to help with his ideas. While we've all been relaxing in the summer sun, the back rooms of the Battle Shop have been lively with the sounds of sawing, hammering, whittling, stitching, and if I'm not mistaken, is that the scratch of a quill pen?! When the last nails, boards, and coats of paint have been set in place, the trio will unveil their new creations as a reward for everyone's help.
Starting on August 24th, participants will aim to complete as many Quests as possible over the course of several weeks. There will be prizes, and the more Quests you do, the better your reward will be! Everyone will be working together towards the same goals, The Weapons Trido also mentioned that if enough extra Quests are completed, he and his friends can use the additional resources to design even more goodies!
