New Features & Updates

New Discovery Quests

Ready for more adventures with your best Bahari Buds? These new quests dive deeper into the lives of Palia’s most charming (and occasionally chaotic!) residents. Make sure that your friendship surpasses level two with these folks; completing the level 2 friendship quests should get you most of the way there! Whether you’re hanging wedding bells with Hodari, sneaking around with some smugglers, or sipping on some soup with the boys, you’re in for a good time and sweet rewards with these quests.

• Platinum Wedding Bells: Love is in the air, and Hodari’s in the workshop. Hodari’s got a big task on his hands: crafting a special gift for his sister’s wedding. Dive into some family drama, get to know Hodari beyond the forge, and maybe learn what makes him tick. If you’ve unlocked Platinum bars and are close enough to call him a friend, you can lend a hand and walk away with either a foraging or hunting grab bag, depending on how you approach the job!
• Zed Drop: Zeki’s boss Zed wants something…. Sketchy. Zeki’s been tapped to secure Eshe’s wax seal to forge documents for an illegal shipment of flow medicine. It’s your chance to help stick it to the man with Grimalkin Kittens. You’ll gain Zeki Coins, Zeki Friendship, and a better look at who is really pulling the strings in the underground.
• For the Boyz: Kenyatta dreams of a night out to see the Bahari Boys. The Catch? She has no tickets, but Tish does! Time to play friend matchmaker, help them warm up to the idea of a concert night out together, and maybe craft some matching light sticks to celebrate along the way. If you’ve finished the Town Discovery quest, friendship with both Kenyatta and Tish awaits…. Plus a shiny star-quality sapphire!
• Food for Thought: Jel is determined to finish his piece for his mothers fashion show, even if it means he’s too stressed to even think about eating food. Reth isn’t having it and is ready to ladle out some care with his famous pumpkin soup. If you have cooking level 8, you can help spread the love between the two and earn a star quality meal of your own… plus a generous helping of friendship with both Reth and Jel!
• Farmers Night Out: Delilah is determined to plan a special night out for Badruu, but juggling work and her two rowdy boys is no small feat. Lend a hand and pick a path: help patch Auni’s pants to keep him from showing up half-dressed or help Nai’o improve his Ormuu soup recipe for Buttercup. No matter what you choose, you’ll gain friendship with both Delilah and Badruu and a delicious hearty meal. Just be sure you’ve been to the Elderwood first!

Shark Plush

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… chomp! Meet the fintastic new additions to your plushie collection!

The River Shark and Elder Shark Plushes are swimming your way. You might even fish up one of their fins. They’re the fin-ishing touch to your plush set!

Zeki’s Claw Machine in the Maji Market is loaded with some paw-sitively adorable new prizes that are sure to steal your heart (and maybe your sleep schedule). Get your ZZZ’s in with the new Slumber Fox Plush. Feeling farm fresh? Looking for something a little fluffier? The Trufflet Plush is ready to ham it up! And the Cutesy Kitty plush? Pure furr-fection. They’re snuggly, sweet, and the perfect claw-some catch.

Make a splash in your housing plot with the new Plushie Pool! Toss your plushes into a soft, squishy pool, perfect for stashing your snuggly treasures. Because your Plush storage deserves to be just as cute as your collection.

This special vinyl release offers single and double LP editions, featuring the most beloved and most-listened-to tracks from the digital soundtrack. A signed edition is also available in limited quantities — perfect for collectors and fans of the game.

The Palia score was brought to life by world-class orchestral musicians at iconic recording studios, including Synchron Stage Vienna and Abbey Road Studio One. This album has been a labor of love, several years in the making, and we’re so excited to finally share it with the Palia community. You can order your copy here.

Improvements & Adjustments

Decor Stacking

Decor items now stack up to 30 (or higher, if they already did) to help creative players spend less time running to storage and more time decorating!

Muskin Support for all Decor

Muskin (mushroom leather) can now be used for all recipes that require leather. More options, same great results!

Grow Stage UI

Growable flowers and decor now show an icon in their UI to indicate their current growth stage. Plants that are watered are considered a different stage, meaning they’ll also be separated in inventory and storage.

Tints in Inventory and Storage

Decor that has a tint applied to it will now show which tint is applied on the icon itself within your inventory and storage. No more guessing which color coffee table you’re about to place!

Honey Lure Changes

The honey lure has been rebalanced and normalized across multiple locations.
