To help ensure everyone is able to get their fill of the Aurestal season, Gabrielle is brewing up extra Aurestal Snow Jars! This means you are more likely to see them stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo until December 31st, 23:59:59 IST. They are also available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts) until the same date.



The Winter Surprise Basket will also stop stocking in all NPC stores, and no longer be handed out as a quest reward, on December 31st, 23:59:59 IST. This is also when Lahja will be wrapping up the Holiday Gift Exchange, so grant some wishes while you still can!





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)! 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.
- You may vote for up to three Users per month.
- Send your nominations here!

You can submit your vote any time during the month, and have until the end of the month to do so. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

Happy Aurestal, everyone! Put on your cosy socks and grab some coffee (or tea), because it's time to open presents!

(Don't want to open them just yet? No worries! You have until the end of November in 2024 to grab them.)

We hope you are all having a lovely holiday!



The Auroras are also about to leave for the year, but they wanted to thank you all for helping spread some Aurestral cheer! They are no longer handing out tasks or AP, but their shop will remain open until December 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. It now also includes all of the Advent Calendar Items from this year.



Don't leave just yet! Ever since the Talityl Lakes incident, there has been a growing interest in the behavior of Companions -- and no one has been more interested than Serene!







It is excited to introduce you all to the brand new Serene Sanctuary, a safe haven for Companions of all shapes and sizes. Be they injured, lost, or just threatening to take over your home... Serene will take them! In return, you get the satisfaction of knowing you helped ensure the well-being of a Companion (and perhaps some trophies and Avatars).

(Please note that Companions given to Serene cannot be retrieved, so be careful!)



Speaking of trophies -- Every Month those who provide Serene with the most companions can receive a trophy as a thank you! This resets every month, so if you don't make it on at first, you can keep trying!

Happy Aurestal, Terrafrostians! From all of IcePets' Staff to you, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday season -- we are looking forward to a delightful 2024!

As is tradition, we have prepared a festive collage:



We invite everyone to join in the festivities! Any Terrafrostian who posts a photo of themself, a pet, and/or their favourite toy with a decorated sign will receive a Aurestal Snow Jar! Please make sure your sign includes "Happy Holidays" and your username. You have until December 27th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time to share your photo!



Today is also the last day the Auroras will be handing out tasks, so make sure to help them out and get your last bit of AP while you can.

Today is also the last day you will be able to put gifts under Aurestal Trees -- so if you have any unwrapped presents, you best hurry!

Do you hear that gentle humming -- almost like a purr? Why, it's the Crystal Ridix, all freshly washed and groomed! We don't recommend giving them another more baths, as they aren't particular fond of water, and those crystals are sharper than their claws...



If you'd like a pawsitively adorable Crystal Ridix of your own, you may pick up a Crystal Ridix Morphing Potion over at the Snow Jar Igloo. Gabrielle has even given the recipe a bit of a remix! It is also in the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts).

Are you ready to wiggle? Are you ready to dance? Are you ready to sing? No? That's okay, because the Misty Isles Caper is! Funded by @Quil, this talented little friend is available for adoption over at Jacobi's Companion Reserve.



There's another reason this Caper is so excited -- it is now possible to search the forums! Want to look up a guide? See if your idea has already been suggested without scrolling through page? Now you can!



Last, but certainly not least, we'd like to show off all the new custom avatars that have been created since our last update!

















In order of appearance, these lovely Avatars belong to: @Loki, @Hephaestus, @Gifted, @Silvy, @Love, @Soot, @tae, and @CLC!

Want a custom Avatar of your very own? Avatar Requests will reopen in February, so you have plenty of time to save up and think of the perfect design.

Happy Aurestal, everyone! Peace was so excited they forgot to tell everyone, but they will be continuing to give out bonus AP until December 24th, 23:59:59 IST.

You may see all available tasks and bonuses over at the event page, and you may spend your AP at the Aurestal Shop.

This is also the last week of Aurestal, so make sure to finish gifting your friends before then!



The Winter Surprise Basket has also returned for the holidays! It has a chance of being awarded by any quest, and can be found restocking in all NPC Shops (excluding the Snow Jar Igloo and Port Rakor).

The Winter Surprise Basket will only be available until December 31st, 23:59:59 IST, so grab a few while you can!

Claire is busy setting up her new displays, but she is so pleased with how the new Aurestal sweaters turned out! Introducing: the Sunset Sugarcube Aurestal Sweater (designed by @MarkiArts), the Festive Wulfer Aurestal Sweater (designed by @Quilladin), and the Peppermint Ducky Aurestal Sweater (designed by @AceRabbit)!

If you'd like to grab a delightful sweater for yourself, make sure to swing on by the Grooming Parlour.



Speaking of knitting, this year's Craftshare has been made into a Community Quilt! Thank you all for your submissions -- it was lovely to see everyone's interpretation of "community," and we hope you enjoy it as well! To view who made each entry you can see that on the voting tab of the Community Quilt page.

"Well, hi there!" Lahja says, sounding a bit winded as they carefully adjusted their pile of gifts. "I am happy to announce the Gift Exchange is now open for Aurestal!

"You may request any two Items, be it an elusive Plush or a fresh cup of coffee. If you're lucky, another Terrafrostian will grant your wish! Don't worry -- the Gift Exchange is completely anonymous, for both the giftee and gifter."

"If you aren't so lucky, don't be gloomy just yet! After three days, you may change any unfulfilled request to another Item -- but you can only do this once, so think carefully about what you ask for."



"I will be sending trophies to any Terrafrostian that grants another's wish -- I appreciate your generosity, and so does everyone else!"

"Oh! Do keep in mind the Exchange is only open for the rest of the year, meaning you have until December 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time to request and grant wishes. Happy Aurestal!"

Hello hello! We hope you are all having a lovely Aurestal.

Prosperity will no longer award bonus AP from their tasks later today, at 23:59:59 IST, but...

From December 10th to December 16th, 23:59:59 IST, the tasks given by Generosity will award bonus AP instead!

You may see all available tasks and bonuses over at the event page, and you may spend your AP at the Aurestal Shop.

Looking for some exciting Aurestal gift ideas? Look no further! These fresh new Items are hot off the press and ready to be placed under the Aurestal Tree (or in your collections, if you'd like to keep them for yourselves!)



First up is the Crystal Audril Plushie, funded by @AceRabbit. It's a sparkly, cuddly gift that's as cute as can be! Pick one up at the Plushie Palace or get one as a reward from the Book Quest. We suggest buying a couple of extras in case the Plushie Quest asks for one next week, too.




We'd also like to introduce five new Plushies funded by @Kamisheru14! The Aries Plush, Aquarius Plush, Libra Plush, Cancer Plush, and Leo Plush are a group of snuggly friends that'll put some huge smiles on your Pets' faces! You can buy them at the Plushie Palace or receive them after completing a Book Quest. Bear in mind that the Plushie Quest will also add them to their request list next week!



Looks like Samuel needs a hand building up his Plushie collection! From today until Sunday, December 10th at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the Plushie Quest will be doubled! That means you'll get twice as many questing opportunities and twice as many prizes. If you're not familiar with this Quest or just need some help preparing, we recommend picking up a Plushie Quest Request List before you start.

Have you seen the Woodland Ridix lately? It's always sprinting around at top speed, so we don't blame you if you haven't. So next time this feline stops for a water break, be sure to take a gander -- they've gotten a stylish new appearance that'll surely wow you!



The Woodland Ridix Morphing Potion has gotten a revamp to match its corresponding Pet, too. Stop by the Snow Jar Igloo if you'd like to pick one up! We'll also be offering them in the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for just 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts.)

"Hello, hello!" Claire says, beaming as she holds up a few papers. "I am delighted to say that the votes are in, and I won't keep you waiting! The winning sweater designs are..."

Do you hear the jingling of bells? Smell the refreshing scent of pine? Why, that's because the Auroras have returned to Terrafrost!



All three Auroras have tasks available for those interested in helping spread some holiday cheer this Aurestal. Completing tasks will earn you Aurestal Points (AP), which the Auroras will happily exchange for gifts and goodies at the Aurestal Store!

Not only that, each week a different Aurora will be offering bonus AP for completing their tasks! This will last until December 24th, 23:59:59 IST.



To start things off is Prosperity, who will be awarding bonus AP from December 2nd to December 9th, 23:59:59 IST.

You may see all available tasks, how much AP they award, any bonuses, and how much AP you have to spend over at the Aurestal event page.



Have some left over Aurestal Points from last year? Stop on by the Aurestal Store today and stock up on some past advent items. Now may be the time to fill in some missing collectibles, or add some surprises to your gallery Remember all these items will disappear December 31st 23:59:59 IST so act fast.



Not quite feeling the holiday spirit? Head on over to the Snow Jar Igloo and grab yourself an Aurestal Snow Jar for a colourful boost! It will be stocking all of December, and it is also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts) until the end of month.



You may also gift your fellow Terrafrostians using their Holiday Tree until December 25th, at which point they (and you!) can open all your presents. Remember, it's the thought that counts, so don't be afraid to only give what you can!

December 1st has come once again and that can only mean one thing - Aurestal has returned! The most joyous season of the year for Terrafrost is kickstarting the month off with the annual Advent Calendar. Be sure to check in every day to receive a festive new item.



And if you miss a day, don't worry -- you can always buy the Forgotten Advent Key at the I.C.E Shop for just 300 IceCash (270 for Gold Accounts.) You can use it to unlock any Advent Calendar day you've missed, including ones from previous years with the exception of 2012.





Don't forget to stop by the Aurestal Shop which is only open for the month of December! You can use this shop to purchase older Aurestal Items, as well as this year's Advent Calendar Items, which will be stocked after the 25th. Keep your eyes on the news about how to earn more Aurestal Points again this year, as well as a news update for when fresh stock is added for the month!






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...

@Frostblaze

Thank you for making IcePets a better place!



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

@Voermina

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community!



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! You can get this Item once a day by visiting the Staff Page every day this month.


Spikearoni






As we move into December, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Cactus Stamp and Barrel Cactus Plush, along with the returning Mushroom Ice Cube. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!



Low on IceCash? Don't fret -- we have something for you as well! Consider stopping by the Toy Trunk for the Rattler! It'll also be rewarded by the Plushie Quest, and a week from now, the Space Quest will begin requesting it. We're also rolling out the new Succulent Coin! You can find it at the United Terrafrost Post Office, though it will not be involved in any Quests.



The seasons are changing, and with them, the Token Booth stock has swapped over! Welcome the brand new Artyx, Mysterious Igloo Figurine, and Ice Palace Coin, which can all be purchased with tokens.



If you missed out on any of the older Winter Token Booth Items, you can try to find one in the Winter Goodie Bag.
