As hosts of the Aurestal Shop, the Auroras were delighted with the frequent visits from excited Terrafrostrians. They decided that the shop was not enough to spread cheer -- they had to further engage the community in the season. They are the spirit of Aurestal after all.



Although Generosity was keen on offering free Aurestal Points to everyone, the three partners came together and decided to assign tasks in exchange for Aurestal Points, which can then be spent on the Aurestal Shop. Prosperity and Peace have been heard commenting on future plans for the event. "We must hold this event every year if we want a stable economy around Aurestal Points," Prosperity has said, to which Peace replied "We can't risk having conflict. Ever -- but especially at this time of year. It is only sensible."



While the tasks will be available throughout the whole month of December, until December 24th each week will be dedicated to one of the three Auroras. This means that their tasks are worth double points! The first is Generosity, starting today and ending on December 9th, at 23:59:59. You can see all information on the event page.



The Holiday Tree is now available in all its glory to aid your gifting efforts! You can use it to place gifts on other Users' trees, and they will be able to open them on Aurestal Day.



Gabrielle is not indifferent to this season -- she is now stocking Aurestal Snow Jars! Those who are less patient may also find it at the I.C.E Shop for 1,000 IC (900 for Gold Accounts) until the end of December.

It is time to bring out the garlands, baubles and lights, and feast on delicious seasonal treats -- Aurestal is here!



Under the theme of family, the Advent Calendar is back to help you count down to Aurestal Day (as if you needed it, right?). You may visit once per day for a new festive Item and potential returning ones.



You were too busy taking note of everyone's wishlists, and forgot to check the Calendar? Do not fret -- if you missed one day you can still acess it with a Forgotten Aurestal Key. This includes this year and past years' Calendars. The Keys can be purchased via the I.C.E. Shop for 300 IceCash (270 IceCash for Gold Accounts!).



Seeing the happiness of Terrafrostians as they decorate for the season, smelling the delicious holiday dishes in the air, and anticipating the kindness of the community, the Auroras have returned! They can be found hosting the returning Aurestal Shop, where you can find and purchase Aurestal Items. Don't forget that some stock rotates on the 25th, and you will not find it in the store when it opens again next year!

@Elliesaur

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.


Swindlepup





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 TerraBall and Just 50 IP, along with the returning Rainbow Spring Toy. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!



Additionally, a few of our resident shopkeepers have added some new Items to their stock! The Gumbaffy can be found at Sugar Rush while the Wulfer-In-The-Box Stamp can be found at the United Terrafrost Post Office. The Candy Quest will request the Gumbaffy in one week, and the Snowman Quest is already rewarding it. If you want a Wulfer-In-The-Box Stamp you may be lucky enough to get one as a reward from the Plushie Quest, but keep any spares because the Space Quest will be asking for it in one week. Be sure to stock up in advance!



The seasons are changing, and with them, the Token Booth stock has swapped over! Welcome the brand new Frozen Hangi, Winter Profile Skin, and Winter Avatar, 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.
