Grab your pals and Party Up. 🥳 Party Buffs are here!

Party Buffs bring new ways for you to enjoy Palia with pals.

When you party up with others and partake in activities with a party member nearby, you and your party member will receive a buff that provides a chance at doubled loot and make progress towards special Party-based Accomplishments. These new Accomplishments will provide brand new rewards: Growable Furniture! 🌱

Party Buffs

When partied up with friends and within 35 meters of a party member, you’ll be able to enjoy the loot of your party member’s activities, even if you didn’t participate! This will apply to hunting, insect-catching, foraging, and mining.

When playing near party members, you’ll also have a chance at earning double the loot! This will apply to loot-based activities including hunting, insect catching, foraging, mining, and fishing. This will not apply to cooking, gardening, and furniture making skills.

You must be within a range of 35 meters of a party member for the buff to be active. You can check this range by looking out for the Party Buff icon near your name in the upper left corner.

Party People Accomplishments

As you play with and near your fellow party members, you’ll earn XP towards the Party People Accomplishments, visible on the Accomplishments tab. Completing this accomplishment will provide brand new rewards: seeds for Growable Furniture.

Growable Furniture is currently only available as a reward for partying up with friends so be sure to invite pals on your adventures.

There are 5 levels of the Party People Accomplishment and each level will provide one item of Growable Furniture. When you receive a Growable Furniture item seedling, you can plant it on your plot, water it, and watch it grow over time into a blooming piece of decor! Once it is fully grown, you can collect a seed from it to grow more decor over time!

The following Growable Furniture items are available as seeds through Party People Accomplishments:

• Grow All Out Stool
• Grow All Out Dining Chair
• Grow All Out Dining Table
• Grow All Out Couch
• Grow All Out Standing Lamp

Improvements & Adjustments

Social Improvements

With the addition of more Party Buffs and rewards, we want to make it easier for players to party up with each other and figure out where their friends are, so we have added a few improvements to the Social Panel:

• We have made it easier to keep track of where your party members are in the world - Bring on the X-ray vision as you can now spot their name plates through walls and more!👁️‍
• You’ll also be able to see when other players are “Looking for Party” with an icon next to their name plate when exploring the world.🔎
• You can now tell which map your friends are on! 🗺️
• You no longer need to wait for your friend to invite you to their server and can now make the proactive choice to join their server instead. 🤝
• The Party UI has a few additions to improve its look 💅

Missed out on Frogbert?

Don’t worry - while Kaiju Frogbert has disappeared from the Kilima Fields, Zeki has captured the littlest Frogbert plush and you now have the chance to win it from Zeki’s Machine and to pair it with the Big Frogbert plush login reward (above).

You can now fish in the Black Market Underground!

A new fishing spot has been uncovered in the center of the Black Market! Cast a line in between hotpot games and here, you will be able to catch the same types of fish that you would find in caves.

Health bars will appear above creatures you’re hunting.

The health bar will display once a creature takes damage from either you or someone in your party (when you are within range of that party member).

Loot bag icons will now appear on your compass.

After hunting a creature, dazing an insect or woodcutting, you’ll see a loot bag icon appear on your compass to guide you to its location. No more playing hide-and-seek with loot bags!

Brightness (Gamma) settings are now available on the Nintendo Switch.☀️
