New Features & Updates

Zeki’s Loyalty Club Coming Soon

Coming soon: everyone’s favorite entrepreneurial Grimalkin’s latest enterprise offers membership to a loyalty club that rewards Palians with bonus Palia Coins… just for logging in!

Zeki’s Loyalty club is a new way to purchase Palia Coins, allowing you to get up to 1325 Palia Coins for the price of 425 Coins! You can buy Zeki’s Loyalty Club directly from the Premium Store for the same price as our smallest Palia Coin bundle. Here’s how it works:

Each time you purchase Zeki’s Loyalty Club, you will:

• Immediately receive 425 Palia Coins
• Claim 30 Palia Coins each day you log-in! If you miss a day, your next log-in allows you to claim up to 60 Palia Coins. Unclaimed Palia Coins do not stack beyond the 60 Palia Coins maximum
• Extend your active Zeki’s Loyalty Club membership by 30 days (unless you are at or near the 180-day cap; see below).

You can keep an eye on your active remaining days by referencing the Zeki’s Loyalty Club ‘date tracker’ added to both the Premium Store and the Inventory tab on the player menu.

You can claim your daily log-in Palia Coins when playing on any supported platform (PC or Nintendo Switch). However, the Palia Coins always redeem on the platform which you originally purchased Zeki’s Loyalty Club.

NOTE: You can only have Zeki’s Loyalty Club active on one platform, such as PC or Nintendo Switch. If you attempt to purchase another instance of Zeki’s Loyalty Club on another platform while you already have an active membership, you will only receive 425 Palia Coins (no duration extension).

The daily log-in reset timing occurs at midnight Pacific Time (08:00 UTC).

Players can expect Zeki’s Loyalty Club to launch later in the patch.

Welcome to the club!

Celebrate Luna New Year

It’s time to gather and celebrate new beginnings with the return of Luna New Year to the Kilima Village Fairgrounds!

Starting on Thursday, January 23 through Thursday, February 20, the familiar Maji Market will transform to celebrate Luna New Year. The in-game event is a time for reflection, joy, and community spirit where the streets of the Kilima Village Fairgrounds are adorned with vibrant lanterns and the sights and sounds of a bustling night market celebrating prosperity.

Luna New Year patrons will remember the thrill of collecting Lucky Envelopes while enjoying the booms and bright lights from the evening fireworks show. All of these attractions are returning for Luna New Year, including:

• Hot Pot: The Underground Black Market game-of-choice returns to its roots with the Luna New Year celebration.
• Chapaa Chase: A night market staple, players can again expect to hustle and heave as many chapaas as they can.
• Wish Tree: At the center of the fairgrounds stands the Wish Tree. Every real-world day you log-in, you’ll find a letter in the mailbox from Chayne that includes a Wish Ribbon. Stop by the Wish Tree to make your wish – it just might come true!
• Zeki’s Prize Wheel: Feeling lucky, Palian? Spin Zeki’s Prize Wheel for a chance to win Gold, Lucky Envelopes, or a Zeki Coin.
• Stamp Cards: The fan-favorite Stamp Cards have been reset, allowing players to earn Stamp Card rewards.
• Treasure Chests: Search high and low to unveil all the secret chests hidden in new locations with new rewards.

As you play minigames, make wishes, and shop the market, you’ll earn Lucky Envelopes to trade for exclusive rewards from vendors. Many decor items, plushes, food dishes, and recipes return to the market, but players can expect some new additions listed below:

Item	Loot / Craft / Purchase Location
Year of the Naga Plush	Chapaa Chase Prize redeemable for 2000 Lucky Envelopes
Fireworks Wallpaper	Redeemable for 4000 Lucky Evelopes at Zeki’s Lucky Catch
Naga’s Blessing Nameplate	Redeemable for 6000 Lucky Envelopes at Zeki’s Lucky Catch
Year of the Naga Poster	Redeemable as a Stamp Card reward
Lunar Anemone Flower	Multiple instances redeemable via Stamp Card participation

NOTE: The Year of the Naga poster is time-limited to this year’s Luna New Year celebration. Last year’s poster will not be available for the 2025 celebration.

The Luna New Year celebration is a seasonal Maji Market event, so when the sun sets, make sure to head over to Kilima Village Fairgrounds at 6:00 p.m. Palia Time and grab all the exclusive rewards before the celebration ends on February 18. The recurring traditional Maji Market will return in March.

Happy Luna New Year!
