The Winterlights celebration continues with even more ice-cold decor!

- Winterlights Leaf Pile, Winterlights Fall Leaves, Winterlights Red Present, Winterlights Green Presents, Winterlights Blue Present
- Winterlights Snowbank, Winterlights Snowdrift, Winterlights Ice Patch
- Winterlights Snowmound, which you can place presents inside of.
- Winterlights Snowball*
We wanted the Snowbank, Snowdrift, Snowmound and Ice Patch items to be building blocks for a winterscape perfect for snowball parties! We can’t wait to see what wonderful creations Palians come up with using these new decor items. ❄️
Did somebody say Snowball fight?! ⛄
- The *Winterlights Snowball is actually an ammo item! You can equip it using the Bug Belt tool and aim it at an unsuspecting target!
- ⚠️Note: Insects and huntable creatures won’t be harmed, but will be spooked if you try to aim at them!
The Temple of the Gales, six new quests, and four new bundles are now available.
The third temple is now explorable in Palia, and it’ll take you high above the clouds. As it’s the temple for Air, there will be a lot more elements that involve jumping, climbing, and gliding—a bit similar to the Obstacle Course!
- Get started with the questline by speaking to Elouisa OR Caleri.
- ⚠️Note: It requires completion of the quest, “Echoes of the Unknown.” (You do not have to have completed other temple questlines, though!)
- Completing all Air Temple Bundles will reward you with an exclusive item, the Young Silverwing Nest.
The Young Silverwing Nest will be granted as a reward for completing all of the Temple of the Air Bundles.
- Placing the Young Silverwing Nest on your housing plot will give home to a special creature: a young, yet majestic Silverwing.
- Interact with the Nest once per day for a chance to receive a Silverwing Egg — there are three types, and they each grant varying levels of Focus.
- A (100 Focus), B (200 Focus), and C (300 Focus)
- This interaction can be done once daily (real time) and resets at 8 PM PT // 4 AM UTC.
The Silverwing Plushie and the Mushroom Plushie have been added to Zeki’s Wondrous Machine.
More Emberborn Furniture recipes have been added!🔥
- 9 decor pieces have been added:
- Emberborn Bookshelf, Emberborn Wall Decor, Emberborn Dresser, Emberborn Mirror
- Emberborn Swing Gate, Emberborn Double Gate, Emberborn Fence, Small Emberborn Column, Large Emberborn Column
Some Villagers will now have an idle animation that plays from time to time.
- This will be a continued effort as we make sure all villagers have a fitting idle animation.😊
The following languages have been added in the game settings:
- Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, and Korean
Adjustments
The running animation has been adjusted based on feedback.
- Overall, it should feel a little less “jumpy.”
Starstones have been additionally adjusted.
- The drop rates have been reduced overall.
- The price of some Starstones have also been adjusted.
- Citrine: 600 → 400g
- Quartz: 250 → 200g

We’ve adjusted the location of Palium spawns.
- Palium can now spawn from any location where Iron Ore nodes also appear.
A Message from the Studio
Hello, Palians!
Together with the 0.174 patch, we hope the holiday updates to Palia is something everyone can enjoy.
Ever since we went into Open Beta back in August (wow, can you believe it’s only been a few months since?), we’ve been putting out patches every other week, all chock-full of content!
Now that the year is coming to a close, though, our studio is going to take a much needed break. Patch 0.175 will be the last for 2023, and we’ll return in 2024. Every Sixer at the studio extends a big thank you to all of our dedicated players who have been along for the journey up to this point.
But we also look forward to any new Palians joining us, especially on the Nintendo Switch! We have lots in store planned for the future ahead of us, and cannot wait to share it all to you.
See you all next year, and as always, welcome home.
