Autumn leaves tumble across the ground, the full moon illuminates the sky, and a spooky chill fills the air. It's official: Phantasmoire season is here!



For those who have not yet experienced Phantasmoire, be prepared for a month of spooky festivities and sugary treats! Pets all around Terrafrost have begun preparation for the upcoming holiday. If you'd like to join in on the fun, be sure to stock up on some Phantasmoire Snow Jars and some treats from your favorite shops!

Starting today, your Phantasmoire Pets can begin haunting. Be sure to give them a Empty Haunting Treat Bag before they begin -- they're available in all NPC shops, except for Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch. Once they're all set, they can visit fellow Users' doorsteps (or profile pages) to stock up on goodies.

And if you'd like to pass out some treats to your fellow Terrafrostians, it's fairly simple. Just purchase some food at your favorite shops, and go to your profile and click the Add food to Doorstep link. It doesn't have to be sweets, either -- the haunters will be just as happy to receive some refreshing fruits and vegetables, too.



Starting this year, you can unlock new trophies by leaving food on your doorstep! There are currently only 15 different levels for this trophy. The food added is cumulative going forward; as a result, you will not have your food returned at the end of the event. Thanks to Phantasmoire magic, the remaining treats will be available again at the start of the Phantasmoire festivities next year!



Don't have enough IcePoints for a Phantasmoire Snow Jar? Don't fret -- as usual, the generous Beauty King will morph one of your pets for free. This offer lasts until the end of October, so be sure to snatch it up while you can.



Also, the Token Booth will be selling some returning Phantasmoire-themed Items until October 8th 23:59:59 IcePets Time. After that, they will swap them out for a new set of Items. The first batch of Items they'll release are the Blob Coin, Empty Grave Stamp, and Candycorn Cupcake! Be sure to snatch them up while you still can.



We'd also like to mention that for the month of October, you can visit the Haunted House every three hours instead of the usual six. Those who are brave enough to venture in may even find some unique Phantasmoire-themed Items...



Last but certainly not least, we'd like to introduce our new editor @piedragon to the IcePets team! Be sure to give him a warm welcome.

Hello, everyone!

Horse Fable¢s development is rolling along smoothly. So much so, we¢ve done a bit more spending on art and assets thanks to those who bought forever upgrades! Today, we are opening up an ingot sale to help cover some very exciting developments in HoFa¢s release.

To give a quick summary as to what we are looking cover, we have roughly 700 new horse image layers ° , several explore images °¾, and backgrounds ° all in the works. Also! Western tack is almost done! Yeehaw! °¤ 

¢¯¸ Ingot Sale

Ingots are now on sale for up to 35% off! Included in the ingot sale, we have brought back packages which include spectral and magic token sacks. The ingot sale will run from today until October 15th, 11:59 PM EST/ gametime. 

¢¨ Available Bundles

To celebrate Eqcetera¢s final weeks, we have brought back all previous bundles which are up for sale in the ingot store. These bundles include limited-edition reindeer calf, breeders promise, valentine tack sets, and more! 

In the General Store both magic and spectral tokens are also on sale for those who wish to purchase them not in a large bundle.

¢¯¸ HoFa Updates

As a reminder, Horse Fable updates will not be posted to Eqcetera. Instead, they can be accessed through 2 channels: HoFa socials or by signing up for updates on horsefable.com , we suggest both following socials and signing up for emails. Our goal between now and when we launch HoFa is to really concentrate on building the social media channels and increase awareness about HoFa in general. 

We¢re planning email updates biweekly or weekly until launch with sneak peeks into some sparkly new features.

"It is good to return to the realms of Lyth once again this year. I welcome Lythians one and all to the Haunted Faire, to partake in our activities, until we lose our connection to your mortal realms once more."

Haunted Faire

The Haunted Faire has become once again accessible to Lythians from the mortal realms and a variety of activities are available again this year! The Faire runs from October 1 until November 7th at 23:59:59 site time, unless another date and time are mentioned for a specific activity.

To see everything available at the Haunted Faire, be sure to visit the event hub!

The Lost Realm is once again available for visitation and you may continue or begin your Realm Familiarity quests there. To get started, a free Lost Key is available here.

Ink has returned with a new set of art prompts! Win pets and an MYO ticket for completing varying amounts of the prompts.

Go bobbing for apples once each day. You probably will not come back with an apple.

Some Haunted Faire traditions have spread throughout other realms as well! Go trick-or-treating at your friends' doors and receive treats (or tricks) each day! The rewards are different for each option, so you will need to decide which you would prefer!

To trick-or-treat, simply visit another member's profile and interact with the UI at the top of the page. Trick-or-treating will only be available on the profiles of individuals who have recently logged in.

The Faire's visual art costume contest is back this year! Entries for this part of the event are only open until October 22, 2021 at 23:59:59 (to allow time for voting) so be sure to get your entries in!

The Ringleader's stall is available for spending your Faire Tickets for a variety of prizes from past Faire events, including the limited time Moonsbane Potion! This portion of the event is open until the end of the year, December 31st at 23:59:59.

Got candy from trick-or-treating? There are a selection of thematic pets invading the Pet Shelter who would love to take it off your hands. If you're lucky, the pet you feed might decide to come home with you! Feed these pets in the shelter with your Haunted Faire foods while you can -- they will disappear on November 1st!

Having a good time at the Haunted Faire? Tell your friends and get entered into a raffle to win an exclusive custom character, sets of pets, and this year's new frame!

Starting on October 18th until October 31st, Eidolons will be released throughout the site for discovery... Will you find them all?

New (sub)Species

The Haunted Faire's influence has spread widely through the realms, and some Axomaurs are feeling... strange.

The Monster subspecies is now available for Axomaurs!
This is a temporary condition that overrides an Axomaur's normal subspecies. This means that an Axomaur can be both Terrestrial and a Monster by transforming between the two. A result of this transformation is that the Axomaur's size and strength increases by quite a bit! In this state, Axomaurs will chase anything that moves ¢ often resulting in them getting lost chasing birds or bugs ¢ and are prone to losing control.

Use a Moonsbane Potion from the Ringleader's stall to change your Axomaur into this subspecies.
(Monster Axomaurs concepted and designed by CakeBird!)

Not only are Axomaurs behaving strangely, but a new species has started appearing... dubbed the Djiminni, this new species is now available as a companion!

Djiminnis are spirits who are often associated with dark magic, as they are believed to be side effects from conjuring its spells. However, they are neither innately evil nor innately good; they come into being and then simply exist within the realms. They are made of a gaseous material that allows them to float silently about and even phase through solid objects. And, in reality, these creatures are quite shy! Most of the time, Djiminnis are covered by a solid exterior of their own making that consists of three parts: a mask, an outer shell, and other decorative pieces.

Read more about them here!

Collect materials to make their lure and build up your familiarity with the Lost Realm to capture these unique companions!
(Original concept for the Djiminni created by Traumlaterne and adapted by Raishiteru!)

Congratulations to the winner of last month's Monthly Contest!
"A Kella Ser could be found balancing unsteady atop a stepping stool as they tried with much difficulty to reach a bottle that was at the top of the spice rack. The house had clearly not been made for a smaller species such as themself and it had for a while now been causing problems to overcome. Now however they weren't really sure how to, there wasn't a counter or anything near enough to climb onto and the only stepping stool he had, was already balancing underneath them. With a frustrated groan the small feline like creature made a quick but likely dumb decision, unable to think of any ot..."

This week's theme: Storms

Spooktacular Breeding Contest Hello, hello everyone! It is October, which means it's time to get SpOoKy! Are you all ready?! I know I am! Just a notice - as per the newspost last year, we will not be doing another month long forum ToT. It's very strenuous on the people keeping up with it, and it actually really bogged the site down. We will have it still, but it will only last a week, so be on the lookout for that. We will of course be having the door, but that will be later this month, as per it's normal schedule. Finally, there will be other games and such that come towards the end of the month to make this a full Fall Festival, but this contest requires more time than they do, so we are rolling it out early to allow for it. Please make sure you read ALL of the information and rules. This Breeding Contest is not your normal breeding contest, and failure to follow the requirements for this contest will result in you not being eligible for any prizes a

Leaf Exchange: Forest Spirit, Forest Spirit Aura, Forest Spirit Path, Forest Spirit Squrriel, Forest Spirit Stone. Bonus Barn: Forest Spirit Dragon. CWP Shop: Forest Spirit Woods Raven's Shop: Forest Spirit Fox, Forest Spirit Owl Raccoon King: Forest Spirit Flower, Forest Spirit Leaf Forum Trick or Treat Area has been returned .
