Patch Notes 0.190: Tinker & Timber Update

Build and bounce into the Tinker & Timber update! This patch is tailor-made for you crafty creatives and arduous adventurers, offering new ways to decorate and turn your Housing Plot into your own personal playpen.

• Create your own obstacle course with Sandbox Decor! 🥇
• Tinker with some timber using the Builder’s Decor Set! 👷
• Introducing a highly-requested feature: Mystery Outfit Gifting! 🎁
• Keep your eyes peeled for April 1st! 👀
• The Premium Store is serving darling (and rugged) new fits, the plumpest pet, and a plush Landscape! 🐖
• …and more!

New Features & Updates

It’s Field Day in Palia… but way more cozy. Head to the Housing Store Store and purchase the Sandbox Signpost, Sandbox Bouncy Shroom, and Sandbox Timer to get started designing the high-octane, totally frenetic… or absolutely chill obstacle course of your dreams.

The Sandbox Decor includes three pieces to start, such as:

• Sandbox Signpost – Mark the starting line, praise your friends, or leave an ironic “no jumping” note via this item’s custom messages viewable by anyone who visits your plot. Go wild (but keep it classy)!
• Sandbox Bouncy Shroom – This mysterious mushroom totally sprouted out of nowhere… totally. This springy substance yeets anyone who steps on its burgeoning dome, making for some pretty sweet vertical vaults.
• Sandbox Timer – Ready, set, GO! The timer is here to settle friendly rivalries, challenge your reflexes, or keep an eye on your homemade Akwinduu Chapaa (not advised). Tap the timer, and the countdown begins, with a shiny UI display tracking your time. But beware—once that clock starts ticking, you can’t pick it up, so make sure it’s placed just right before you press start.

Introducing Mystery Outfit Gifting

One of the most wonderful aspects of Palia is our community. All you Palians have built an incredible culture of sharing, generosity, and helping each other in-game. Since Palia’s wide release, folks have continually asked for ways to share Premium content with friends, and we're thrilled to finally deliver our first gifting opportunity: Mystery Outfit Gifting!

Mystery Outfit Gifting allows you to surprise your Palia besties with Premium outfits, fully wrapped and at a massive discount! Our first gifting feature is designed to streamline the Gift-giving process to focus purely on the joy of gifting a lil’ surprise, eliminating guesswork and hassle while letting your thoughtful gesture shine through. And since every Mystery Outfit is worth more Palia Coins than you pay, you can be confident knowing you (and your friend!) are always getting a great deal.

How It Works:

• Visit the new Premium Store and navigate to the Featured section.
• Select Mystery Outfit Gifting for 795 Palia Coins.
• Each Mystery Gift sends your friend a random Premium Outfit:
  • That they don’t already own
  • That has a base price that’s always greater than the price of the gift (e.g. more than 795 Coins)
  • Every outfit has an equal chance - so each top tier outfit is just as likely as any other outfit.
• Choose a friend from your Friends List, add an optional personalized message, and confirm your purchase using Palia Coins.
• Your friend will receive a notification with their surprise Gift!

This is our first gifting feature, but it doesn’t mean we won’t have others in the future. And as a reminder, Mystery Outfit Gifting is completely optional, and the feature is not required to acquire any content. If you want to learn more about Mystery Outfit Gifting, check out the detailed rundown here.

As always, thank you for making Palia such a supportive and vibrant community!

Improvements & Adjustments

Prologue Questline Quality-of-Life

• We’ve made a number of adjustments to quests around Subira’s introduction in order to simplify the flow as well as ensure newer players avoid a brick wall of requirements.
• Updated Strange Things Afoot to immediately start Fit for a Watcher.
• Removed the requirement to complete Prove your Devotion in order for Fit for a Watcher to start.
• The Order Decor recipes now require mid-tier materials instead of high-end materials.
  • ⚠️This change benefits all players, including those who already have this set.
• Changed Your Order is Served quest objective. Players now give Reth ingredients for him to cook a carrot cake, removing the requirement for fruit.
• Your Order is Served will only award the Petit Five recipe.
• Oysters Akwinduu and Muujin Bahari recipes are now purchasable at the Cooking Guild Store.
• Updated dialogue at the end of Extravagant Expectations to immediately kick off Troubled Waters.
• Updated Troubled Waters to remove the Auni visit that starts the quest; players now go directly to the temple to meet Subira.

“When we first launched Palia in beta last year, the quest design looked a lot different than it does today. Through player feedback and iteration, we've arrived at a way of storytelling that is cleaner, more linear, and easier to follow. It was time to update some of those clunky older quests to remove points of confusion and integrate the storylines to meet those new standards. In addition, we never intended for Subira's introduction quests to be permanent when we released them - this has changed as we wanted everyone to have access to this content, and we built capabilities that allow villagers to show up on the map based on quest progress. If you’re in the middle of these quests, you may notice a bit of wonkiness as the quests update to their new intended order, but the hope is that this new quest experience will line up better with how we want to tell stories in Palia going forward.” -S6 Vega
