Friendship is a game mechanic in Palia between The Player and Villagers.

Mechanics

Friendship can be raised through either conversing with a Villager once per Palian day, gifting them items, and completing quests.

Raising your Friendship level will typically result in a new Friendship quest which can be completed to earn rewards. Reaching Friendship Level 3 with a Villager will prompt them to gift you the key to their room, either in-person or through the mail. Once the Player possesses the key, they can enter the locked room at any time, even when the Villager is shown as sleeping.

Friendship Level 3 also unlocks additional voice lines and conversations with the villager.

Additionally, if the villager is eligible to be romanced, and you have reached a required friendship level, gifting them a Box of Chocolates or a Heartdrop Lily will unlock their Romance questline.

For more information, see Romance.

• When viewing the Relationship tab, a Villager with a blue chat bubble on the right side of the overview or on their portrait in their section represents that they have not yet been spoken to during that in-game day.

• The bar located just under the Villager's name shows the Player's friendship level with them, as well as the rewards earned for each level.

• In the top right corner, you can see if you have gifted the villager that day, and what their weekly wants are if you have discovered them through Villager conversations.

• If the Villager has a secondary bar under the friendship bar, it represents the player's Romance level with them, as well as the rewards earned for each romance level. On Switch, you can switch between the two bars in the detailed view for each Villager while they both appear in the overview.

• When romancing a Villager, you can click the cogwheel just below their picture to break up if wanted.
