Quick answer

In Ice Tycoon on Roblox, the paintbrush is one of four hidden items you collect to unlock the “Helper” and “Forgotten” skins plus a 40% money boost.

Where to find the paintbrush

The paintbrush is located:

  • Behind the volcano
  • Near a dead tree in that same area.

More concretely:

  1. Go to the volcano zone of the map (you may need to prestige or unlock the area first, depending on the version you’re playing).
  1. Walk around the back/slightly behind the volcano.
  2. Look for a dead tree nearby.
  3. The paintbrush is sitting on the ground close to that dead tree , just behind the volcano.

You’ll often see a faint circular marker or “quest dot” on the ground in Ice Tycoon that hints where items are; around the volcano area, one of these circles points to the paintbrush spot.

How to use it

Once you have the paintbrush:

  1. Collect the other three quest items:
    • A plant on the roof/balcony of the mayor building (requires a small parkour).
 * A **witch brew / green can** inside a cave behind a bush.
 * A **cookie** inside a tree (also requires a small parkour).
  1. Return to the town area.
  2. Give each item to the matching NPC:
    • Plant → specific townsperson
    • Paintbrush → the “paintbrush guy”
    • Witch brew → thirsty NPC
    • Cookie → cookie NPC.
  1. After giving all four items, you’ll get:
    • +40% money bonus (total from all four NPCs)
    • The “Helper” and “Forgotten” ice skins.

Tips

  • If you can’t reach the volcano area, make sure you’ve prestige d or unlocked the later zones; some versions require this to access the volcano and its hidden items.
  • Use the on-ground circles as guides; they often appear near each hidden item and make it easier to spot the paintbrush behind the volcano.
  • If you’re stuck on the parkour parts (plant tree, cookie tree), slow down and use the edges carefully; these are short but precise jumps.
