Welcome to Palia is a Main Quest given by Jina when you first start the game.
Description
“
You just arrived in the wonderful world of Palia! Time to get settled in. Jina told you that Ashura is responsible for helping out newcomers. Find him by following the villager icon on the compass.
It's time to prepare a place for yourself, but first you need to clean it up a bit. Use your axe and pickaxe to remove the debris left by the house that used to be here. You can tell which elements are debris by looking for the objects that sparkle.
After talking to Jina, either talk to Hekla or head out of the cave. Your compass is located at the top center of the screen. Follow the villager icon marked on your compass!
Use the axe and pick to clear barrels and broken walls from the plot three times. You must loot the drops for the quest to progress. Trees and rocks do not count as debris.
After clearing some debris, Hodari will give you a Worktable. Place that on your plot.
There are several methods to place your items in your plot:
Select the item on the action bar and click (on PC) or (on Switch) to pop it on your plot. Then find a place you like and click to place.
Enter the editing grid ( or ). Then select the item on your action bar. Then find a place you like and click to place.
Press or to get a top-down view of the plot, making it easier to place the tent.
Clear a large enough area on your plot to make room for the tent. Open the Worktable by interacting with it ( or ) and craft a Makeshift Tent. Place the tent the same way you placed the workbench.
Turn around and be surprised because Auni is waiting to talk to you. He came to deliver your very first mail! Read them and grab any attachments.
Use the mailbox by walking up to it and pressing or . Click on the sender's name on the left to read the letter. Click on the Claim button to add any attachments to your inventory. Click on the next sender's name to read another letter or click the back arrow on the top left to close the screen.
Return to Auni to conclude the conversation and get the gifts he has for you.
Leave your housing plot by walking through the gate to start your new life in Palia!
Dialogue and Mail
Introduction
Upon logging into the game for the first time
Jina
OH. MY. DRAGON!!!
Did... did... you... just... materialize from nowhere?
Player
...I honestly have no idea.
Jina
Right, you probably don't know anymore about your situation than I do.
It's just, none of the other Humans knew either. Which leaves me right back at square one.
Player
Other Humans?
Jina
Yep, you're not the first Human I've seen in Palia.
Just the first I've seen... you know, appear in a giant cocoon of light.
Player
More like from a spiraling pink void.
Jina
Oh, oh! Tell me more about the void.
None of the other Humans remember where they came from. So this is kinda a big deal.
Player
Sorry, that's all I've got.
Jina
Right...we'll talk about all that later once you're settled in.
Player
Other Humans?
Jina
Yep, you're not the first Human I've seen in Palia.
Just the first I've seen... you know, appear in a giant cocoon of light.
Player
Not sure, but I'm glad to be here!
Jina
Wow...I mean, I'd heard Humans had starting appearing out of nowhere in sacred sites around Palia.
But, I didn't know that meant appearing LITERALLY OUT OF NOWHERE.
Player
Sorry, that's all I've got.
Jina
Right...we'll talk about all that later once you're settled in.
Player
Well, I'm here, aren't I?
Jina
Oh, oh! Can you tell me more about where you came from?
None of the other Humans remember. So this is kinda a big deal.
Player
Sorry, that's all I've got.
Jina
Right...we'll talk about all that later once you're settled in.
Player
Other Humans?
Jina
Yep, you're not the first Human I've seen in Palia.
Just the first I've seen... you know, appear in a giant cocoon of light.
We should slow down. Why don't you take this map and head into town where you can talk to Ashura, the Innkeeper? He's been helping others like you get settled in.
I would help you myself, but I'm working on something here, and I'm this close to figuring it out.
I was so caught off guard I realized I forgot to introduce myself or explain why I'm here. The name's Jina. I'm an apprentice scholar researching these old ruins.
And this here is my research assistant, Hekla! Be sure to ask her if you have any questions. I've gotta get back to the grind.
Progression
Upon interacting with Ashura
Ashura
Hi, there! [sic] It's always good to see a new face in the village.
Welcome to Kilima! I'm sure this is quite a lot to take in.
I'm Ashura, the innkeeper at the Ormuu's Horn. Unfortunately, there isn't any room at the inn right now.
But we do have some old plots where you could build yourself a tent.
Whaddya say? You wanna take in the great outdoors?
Player
Nothing like sleeping under the stars!
Ashura
The night sky here is beautiful. I'm sure you'll love it.
Player
I'm not the camping type.
Ashura
I hear you. I slept in a tent for years while I was a soldier, never quite got used to it.
Well, after you get your tent set up, maybe we can talk to the mayor about getting you in something more permanent.
Player
I'm just glad I have a place to sleep.
Ashura
I would want someone to set me up with a place to sleep and something to eat if I materialized out of nowhere!
Why would I not do the same for you?
So, let's see, to build a tent you're going to need to collect some materials.
I've got an axe here for you, but you'll have to talk to our resident miner Hodari about the pick.
Lucky for you, he's checking out the plots right now. Why don't we head on over so you can meet him?
...Huh. Found a lotta strange things in the mines, but not sure what that is.
Well, you found it, so you keep it. S'your plot after all.
I've got other plots to inspect, but there should be space to drop this worktable down now. I suggest you focus on getting a roof over your head and a place to keep your things before you worry about glowin' tubes.
Player
So what now?
Hodari
I go fix up another plot, and get another one of you moved in. Stream's been near constant since the first one came.
As for you, should be space to drop this worktable down now. Tent, storage chest... you'll figure the rest out.
...Bye.
Upon talking to Auni
Auni
Whew, good, you haven't left yet!
My mom, Delaila, told me there was another new Human in town, and here you are! I ran ALL the way from the farm here!
She wanted you to have this housewarming gift: fresh dairy from the Daiya family farm! Welcome to Kilima!
And I wanted you to have your mail! I'm Auni, and I handle all the deliveries around here.
Twice a day every day, rain or shine! Six in the morning and six at night!
So, I think it's safe to say my job is about to get A LOT more interesting.
Do you like getting mail? You look like someone who would like getting mail...
Player
I love getting mail!
Auni
Good! Then I bet you'll be happy with what I have for you.
Player
Looks can be deceiving!
Auni
Maybe with the right mail, you'll change your mind.
C'mon, go check it out! It's your first mail delivery... EVER.
Letter from Einar
Dear (Player),
I have been informed by Jina that you have emerged fully formed from the swirling mist. This is wonderful news! Happy day of mist-birthing to you, new human.
Other humans call me Einar, and I would like to share with you the joy of fishing. Please take this rod into your possession and seek me out at your nearest convenience. I shall be located at the pier for the next few millenia.
To whom it may concern,
City Hall requires I send these letters to new residents. You will find a bow and set of arrows in the attached package. City Hall also requires me to tell you that I am available to tutor you in their use. During work hours, you can find me in Kilima village. This is not an invitation to waste my time. I am busy.
So, how are you settling in? This plot's HUUUGE! I heard you can find some pretty cool stuff in the dirt.
My dad found an old copper arrowhead in our yard last week. But all I ever seem to find are rocks...
Player
Well, I found this strange artifact...
Auni
Oh, WOW! What does it do?
Player
No idea.
Player
Does a weird glowing tube count?
Auni
Oh, WOW! It definitely counts! Have you figured out what it does yet?
Player
Not yet.
Auni
Hmmm... I bet Jina might know! She's always hanging out in ruins. You should see if she's found something like this before.
OH YEAH! I almost forgot in all the excitement. I brought a present for you too!
A Bug Scouts official belt! And a set of smoke bombs, too! I'm a member of Kilima's best and only bug catching club.
I gotta run now, but if you stop by later I'll give you some tips on how to use them.
But I bet you're hungry right now. You should talk to my dad, Badruu, to learn how to grow food. And Reth, who works at the inn, can teach you how to cook it!
You know, everyone's waiting to meet you! Come on, I'll race ya out!
Optional Dialogue
Talking to Jina before leaving
Jina
Why don't you come back when my head's spinning just a little less?
Asking Hekla questions
Hekla
Hello, Human. I know you must have many questions about your spontaneous emergence.
Your presence heralds much change in the world of Palia.
Player
What am I?
Hekla
You are a Human being...an ancient thing this world has not seen in many rotations around the Sun.
Beyond that, you shall have to answer the question of "what you are" for yourself. As do we all.
Player
Who are you?
Hekla
I am Hekla. It is my duty to aid and protect the young scholar known as Jina.
We have stumbled upon you during a routine excavation of the ruins of this ancient Human city.
This occurence...comes as a great surprise to young Jina.
I on the other hand, found it inevitable.
You were bound to return one day...why not today?
Player
Why was your friend so freaked out?
Hekla
Organic beings are often shocked at the emergence of new things, are they not?
This world has not seen your kind in thousands of rotations.
Be patient with it as it learns to accomodate [sic] you once again.
Talking to Hekla again before leaving
Hekla
We will speak again in time. For now, go out and explore your new world.
Talking to Hodari before completing the debris task
Hodari
Just restin' my back a bit. Been workin' all day. You just keep on clearin' that junk.
Notes
This is the very first quest you get in the game.
At the end of your conversation with Jina, you receive 100Focus, even though it's not listed as a reward.
Auni's dialogue line was changed from "She wanted you to have this housewarming gift. Welcome to Kilima!" to the one mentioned in the dialogue transcript.
