Do you hear that? Sounds like scuffling. Could it be the Collector? I think we're getting close --



Oh, how cute! It's a little Companion! Actually... I think that's a Mateeni, but it looks a bit different to normal. Do you think it's a new kind that's never been discovered before? What other undiscovered Companions do you think there could be out here in Halipar? The jungle is so thick, there could be a whole village hidden in here and no one would know. Grab a notebook and log this.

Hey! That Mateeni stole the packs! It's bounding off into the underbrush! After it! We only have enough supplies to keep completing tasks until August 31, 23:59:59 IcePets time! Hurry!

Gosh, this underbrush is dense -- ack! And so many bugs! Eek, ack, get away!

Wait, what was that? Did you see that? I think a Flying Pet just swooped above the treetops. I swear, there are Flying Pets darting about all around in these trees. I wish I had wings, so I could flit through the branches rather than trudge through all these vines and thorns. Though, I can see why the Collector wanted to come here. There are so many old, crumbling ruins! Just look -- a broken pillar over there, covered in inscriptions and moss. I'm sure there must be Ancient artifacts of some kind, waiting to be found.

Keep up the brave work. It's hard tracking him through all this jungle, but my gut tells me we're on the right track. Well, that and Sally Searcher, up ahead at the front of the search party. Help her out with whatever daily tasks she asks of you, and hopefully we find the collector before August 31, 23:59:59 IcePets time.



In the meantime, some new User-funded Items are entering the shops today.



For the chemistry-lovers among you, the Atomic Ice Cube is just waiting to join your collection. You can pick one up at the Frozen Collectives Emporium, and in one week it will be requested by the Snowman Quest.



If you thought Robbie was cute, you won't want to miss out on two new modified models, Steampunk Robbie and Biomech Robbie. These mechanical buddies are stocking in the Toy Store. All three of these Items were requested by @Megrim!

If you have your own idea for an Item you absolutely must have on the site, you, too can fund an Item Bundle on the Support Page

Show off your playful side with your very own Toon Cobron, funded by @POURRITURE! You can find a Toon Cobron Morphing Potion to add to your Closet collection in the Snow Jar Igloo.



If you just can't wait, you can purchase the Morphing Potion from the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Account Users).





Member of the Month voting for this month is ending soon! Wherever you are in Terrafrost, don't forget to head to the nearest voting booth and cast your vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)!

Good news! We've found the Collector's trail! Thanks to everyone asking around, Yogi from the Post Office heard from one of his friends that her sister's roommate's cousin was the last person to turn in a Collector's Quest. The office was cluttered with ancient artifacts, and before she left, she overheard him muttering about ruins in Halipar Jungle. We think that's where he was headed!

I've made sure to clean myself up for the journey ahead, so make sure you are prepared as well!

Everyone, pack your survival gear, because we're preparing an expedition. We're following him into the thick, humid wilderness of the jungle, and with my magnifying glass we'll keep our eyes peeled for any trace of the Collector. We're going to need to cut through underbrush, camp out in the wild, and who knows what else -- starting today, the daily tasks are changing. You still have ten total to complete each day, with a reward for every five.



Just... can someone keep an eye on the Beauty King, in the back? Make sure he doesn't get lost or fret too much with worry. I've got the lead on this -- just make sure he's okay!

We experienced some downtime yesterday, which caused some people to be unable to complete their tasks for that day, as well as their login streak. To rectify this, we are extending the event one extra day, until August 31 at 23:59:59 IcePets Time. We have also manually increased the login total for everyone who had logged in on the 22nd, but not the 23rd. Anyone who should have received a prize on the 23rd was also given a random item from the login streak prize pool.

Beauty King here -- I wanted to check up on what you've found so far. Have you seen or heard any sign of my friend? He's really been gone a long time now. I hope he's not lost or hurt! Do you think he could be hurt? Oh dear, I'm so worried. Please keep looking. Anything, anything you can find out might help us.



The poor Beauty King is a wreck. But don't worry, you have Sally Searcher on your side, and I can find just about anything! Have you seen the size of this magnifying glass, after all?

I've got all you searchers organised with your tasks, to take some of the pressure off the Beauty King. That's at least one less thing he has to worry about. We'll figure this out together. Keep working on your assignments -- remember, there are 10 new tasks each day, and as a little token of thanks you'll be getting a reward for every five you complete.

The search will be ongoing until August 30 at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so keep at it!

The Collector has gone missing! The Collector's Quest has been shuttered, closed until further notice, and no one knows what's happened to him.



The Collector and I are close friends, because we both love collecting. Filling up my fabulous wardrobe never takes me far from Glacia, but the Collector's tastes sometimes take him on adventures and expeditions. He said he would be away for a bit, but didn't tell me where, and he should have been back by now. We were supposed to meet up for our Saturday brunch to talk about our collections, but he never showed up. I'm starting to worry.

Do you think you could help me out? I'm organizing a search party. I want to start by asking around, finding out if anyone saw or heard anything that might give us a clue to where the Collector's gone. This Search Event could take a few weeks. I'd suggest clearing your calendar until August 30, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.



If you're willing to join, I'll assign you 10 daily tasks each day. Since I know you're volunteering your time to help me and my friend, I'd like to give you a small reward for every 5 tasks you complete, as a token of my appreciation.

The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...

@AlaraRose

Thank you for making IcePets a better place! Here are our favourite things about AlaraRose:

- AlaraRose is a very helpful and active member. She has helped recently with the avatar solution thread and even managed to get four avatars in one day! Wow!
- They may seem quiet around the forums but they always up for helping trade collection items and helping other members out.



Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...

@JaniceRuth

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community! Here are our favourite things about JaniceRuth:

- I would like to nominate JaniceRuth. I don't really know/talk to them, but I see them on the forums often. They keep the collectors quest thing up to date and whatnot, and seem very active during events.
- JaniceRuth is a familiar name. You will see her around every day on IcePets. Her love for the site is obvious and her collections are gorgeous. She is the type of person and member you hope to be like one day.



Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.







While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...

@Quil

To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour!


Skire





As we move into August, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up your own Bopa and Bank Vault Ice Cube, along with the returning Elegant Pocket Watch Stamp. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Account Members)!



A few of our resident shopkeepers have also added new Items to their stock! You can find the new Ralph Plushie stocking in the Plushie Mania and the new Fancy Cubed Gelatin in the Food Mall. The Ralph Plushie is also now rewarded by the Book Quest, while the Fancy Cubed Gelatin is rewarded by the Candy Quest. These will be requested by the Plushie Quest and Space Quest, respectively, in one week.
