Friendship Level 5 Quests are now available for the following villagers: Ashura, Zeki, Tish, and Reth.
- â ď¸Naturally, you will need to reach Friendship Level 4 before you can proceed.
- Completing each quest will also grant an exclusive decor reward at the end of the questline.
A new building is now available: the Courtyard.
- You can purchase it at the City Hall store.
- â ď¸Note: This is an add-on, meaning it must be attached to other rooms and is not a standalone structure.
- The Courtyard has four different configurations to create a variety of setups.
Bahari Bay Flowers have been added. đź
Insects in Bahari Bay now have a chance to drop Flower Seeds.
The following items have been added:
Trillium Flower
Hemitomes Flower
Cave Cap Flower
Baharricenia
Bluebell Flower
Veronica Flower
Forget-Me-Not Flower
Bahari Nettle Flower
Fiddlefrond Flower
Datura Flower
Meet Cyl the Green Plush! đŠ
Cyl the Green Plush has a chance to appear in any Bahari Bay Rummage Pile.
- You know, as an homage to their origins.
The new Ammo Pouch is now available. đš
Itâs finally here! Arrows, Smoke Bombs, and Fishing Bait will now appear in this tab. You can access it from your Inventory.
- When you first log in, any ammo in your inventory will move into the ammo pouch.
- Any ammo that cannot fit into the ammo pouch will automatically transfer to your storage.
The Ammo Pouch starts with one row unlocked, and you can expand more at the General Store â just like the Backpack.
A Tailor Shop Changing Room has appeared in Bahari Bay!
Even adventuring shouldnât stop you from looking fab. Just the little suitcase wouldnât do for Jel, so heâs ordered a proper building in its place. (This service acts just like a wardrobe, and can be found by the Central Stables.)
Improvements & Adjustments
The amount of Friendship Points granted from various quests relating to Ashura, Zeki, Tish, and Reth have been balanced with the addition of Friendship Level 5 Quests.
â ď¸We will be sending compensation to those who have completed Friendship Level 4 Quest as a result of this adjustment.
Criteria:
- Completed one or more of the following quests:
A Family Matter ( Ashura)- Bugs Everywhere! ( Zeki)
- Make 'Em Sing ( Tish)
- The Heist ( Reth)
Compensation:
The Map will now show a coordinate grid.
This has been a long-requested feature, and should help out with group play alongside Flare Arrows. âDisco deer at B4!â
Temples will now have a dedicated map.
In an effort to help players navigate these special areas, youâll be able to see a custom map in each space.
- We specifically wanted to call out the Air Temple, which will also have icons for quest-related items.
- â ď¸Note: While our Palian cartographer was able to create maps for the Temples of the Flames, Gales, and Roots, the one of the Temple of the Waves will be arriving with the next patch. đ
Brightness (Gamma) Settings are now available on PC. đ
PC Controllers can now access the Menu by pressing the Pause button.
- â ď¸This can be rebound in the settings menu if you wish to change back to the previous default keybind (Inventory).
There is now an Unstuck button you can quickly access in menus.
Previously, the only option was to type it out in chat, which we knew was a challenge especially for Switch and controller users. This option should make it more accessible.
Weâve made several improvements to help optimize Palia on lower-spec PCs.
Thereâs a lot of small changes that come together, but overall it should feel nicer to play if youâre on lower settings.
Planted Trees in the Housing Plot have been visually updated to no longer have the âdirt moundâ around the base.
Air Gusts in the Temple of the Gales have been improved to better carry the player.
