[dense falcon]

ty, I've looked all over bahari and haven't found a single one. only ever found them in Elderwoods

[teal oyster]

i mean i did find em in bahary pine tree but that was near the door to elderwoods maybe that matters idk

[mortal quartz]

I've found several on juniper trees in Bahari - in S. Bahari, even - so I don't think proximity to the Elderwood door matters too much

[teal oyster]

i mean since everytime i colelcted it a bee spawned out of it i guess the goldenglory now comes from beehives in kilima?

[queen shuttle]

Is there a specific dish that any of you think is the most effective at feeding oneself in Palia, or is it just like R/L "Whatever you have on hand"

[teal oyster]

for me it was cake as its so cheap but the rounds to make it in party do take quiet awhile and u waste alot of the focus by overeating no matter what or waste xp by undereating since its hard to top up
spicycrab thing was also good apparently but i havent tried it
daily candy eggs do addup

[queen shuttle]

Daily candy eggs? That I haven't heard of

[teal oyster]

😮 u do not have a silverwing nest on ur plot

[queen shuttle]

No, No I do not. I must go learn about what this is, where to get it, and why I don't own one.

[teal oyster]

bundles quests the vault i aint giving more h ints some things are up to oneself to spoil

or perhaps u dumped it in ur chests do otake a look if thats the case

[frigid coral]

are they not updating the rummage piles in kilima and bahari anymore?

[marsh drum]

this really depends on your focus level!

[boreal frost]

how much would the best poke bowl using starred maws be? 🤔

[teal oyster]

starred maws pokebowl partys when

[boreal frost]

comparison to a t1 epic fish (almost 2.5x higher price)

i mean itd take a year to get them buuuut with the right buffs maws isnt hard to catch, its definitely possible, but would it be worth it? next one i catch i'll use it for poke and see what happens

[mortal quartz]

dish sell value =
[sum of unstarred sell values of all ingredients] * 0.375] rounded down to nearest whole number

(even if you use starred items, still uses unstarred sell value to calculate base dish price)

then if it turns out starred, it's the base dish sell value * 1.5, rounded down again

[boreal frost]

so itd cost like... 1654 base or something??? insane.

[mortal quartz]

Giant goldfish poke with Dari clove salsa is 994g starred each, so, doesn't sound too far off

[boreal frost]

yeah, did 994/.375, then subtracted 1220, then added 2980, then *0.375 and it came out to that. starred would be 2481 😳

guys start catching maws for poke rotations we need y'all

[mortal quartz]

3 per round as well lol

unstarred Maws poke worth more than starred goldfish poke, damn XD

[hearty silo]

How do u get elder clam mushroom meat??

[bronze cobalt]

you open the elder clam mushrooms, like an oyster

[flint glen]

does anyone have the batterfly beans I could request?

[tardy bobcat]

Sign me up whaaaaa

[tropic temple]

Whats the most efficient and easy way to maintain my focus?

[mortal quartz]

Join up with others to cook focus food! Split the ingredients, effort, and time required :) Makes it very cost-effective if you choose the right recipes.

What is your current max focus capacity? I can give some recs.

If you would rather stick with solo play, I recommend steak dinner as the most cost-effective solo recipe (though I haven't mathed out the new recipes yet)

[pulsar vessel]

just opened 184 oysters i had saved up... still no pebble...

[mortal quartz]

They are, unfortunately, about a 1 in 1,000 drop chance, last I knew

i.e., expect about 2,000 oysters

[pulsar vessel]

oh my goodness, that is a ridiculous drop rate when all the other pebbles are just sitting out somewhere. i dont think i'll even bother.

thanks for the info

[ripe spear]

Have anyone figured out how to obtain the burger recipe yet? I've done all new main quests, witch I thought would grant it. Got a few side quests to do tho

[slate notch]

ooooh, prettyyyyy

[signal mirage]

What wuould those buffs be? Im doing something wrong

[teal oyster]

im so glad i also got my ancient amber for collecting

[quick tendon]

How do you make ancient wood planks from elderwoods?

[stark wedge]

buy the recipe from ashura

[quick tendon]

Thank you Sam!

[robust salmon]

Where did the new Batterfly Beans recipe go ? I got it but its no where too be found

[rustic cave]

It not really a recipe. It just shows up in your seed maker machine. You get beans in elderwood. But it’s one bean for one seed so best to plant to get more beans to start.

[robust salmon]

ohh I already been doing that , okay I aam good then ty!

[tardy bobcat]

ooohhh i love this whaaaa

[boreal frost]

fishermans brew, fish stew, and sushi (and then i use safe zone size hooks from einar)

[nocturne lance]

Hello guys ! i dont seem to find it, but How did you guys unlock the BEAN BURGER recipie ? palia pedia refers to the fact that you need to fish ? but im not sure when with what bait ?

[signal mirage]

Cheers

[barren meadow]

what happed to the sushi reciple

[boreal frost]

||if you go through the main quest, in the 'lair', behind the boy will be a treasure chest. i missed it my first time and subira teleported me out before i saw it, but you can go back through and grab it if youve finished the quest||

[nocturne lance]

i had to go back but i have it thankx !

[olive cliff]

where can i find this flower in elderwoods?

[tulip bobcat]

[hearty drift]

Someone with the bean burger recipe, could you tell me the required ingredients? I just want them ahead of time

[obtuse axle]

Ingredients for the Bean Burger Recipe for @hearty drift :

1 Milk
2 Tomato
2 Onion
3 Batterfly Beans
3 Vinegar
1 Wild Garlic
1 Spice Root
1 Egg
1 Cooking Oil
1 Wheat

[mortal quartz]

Still can't get over that 3 vinegar...

[obtuse axle]

Sounds like a sour burger

[mortal quartz]

600g worth of vinegar in those dang burgers, to say nothing of the opportunity cost of the beans, lol

[tacit zenith]

What do people eat for focus food these days? (Returning player).

[obtuse axle]

I tend to do Chili OIl Dumplings because the recipe is really easy to cook and the ingredients aren't TOO terrible to keep on hand

I'm sure there's a better one though

[tacit zenith]

Sweet, thank you!

[livid canyon]

Where can I find these floatfish mushroom?

[obtuse axle]

Climb the big trees in the Deep wood -- they grow off the sides of them

[mortal quartz]

For a solo cook or a duo, steak dinner is most cost-effective. Group cooking will depend on how many people you want to organize, but I personally really like stuffed cabbage rolls. The recipe is kind of broken and has a very high star rate, for some reason. 412 focus starred, and it always stacks no matter what meat and mushrooms you use (at least, with the old two mushrooms... haven't tested with the new mushroom "meat" or the other forageable any-mushroom ones yet)

[teal oyster]

elder wood meals are still to new for poeple to know wether or not to use those though so answers cna start to change real soon

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, definitely more analysis to do

It's tough because I've been dealing with so much lag in-game that I actually haven't set foot into Elderwood yet, and my ability to test things is hampered

[teal oyster]

oh so u cant play at all due to lag ic ic

[mortal quartz]

However, the dish sell value formula seems to be the same for the new recipes (based on bean burger reports)

The EW recipes seem like they tend toward complex chains of requirements (have a look at the bean chili, lol) and needing multiples of ingredients in single steps.

But it's mostly (at least for me so far) a big question mark

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, unfortunately the "hitch" for a moment or two every so many seconds tends to make me badly seasick

[teal oyster]

hope it gets better soon

[mortal quartz]

Thanks, and same

[obtuse axle]

Anyone have any suggestions or advice (or just general rarity statistics) of the starred Elder Clam Mushroom Meat? I've opened almost 200 regular and starred mushrooms and have only gotten regular meat so far 😦

[warm spruce]

Is there a list for all the new foragables yet??

[marsh drum]

the new items are listed in the patch notes https://palia.com/news/patch-191

[fading parrot]

Where can I find heartwood?

[mortal quartz]

Fir trees in Bahari Bay, mostly in the north :)

[wind crown]

Location of Elderwood Lotus? I’m struggling, been looking for an hour, found 2.

[rugged wolf]

anyone wanna farm essence with me? I have idol III

[torpid geyser]

where can i fine the batterfly beans does anyone know?

[lament kestrel]

ok where is pumpkin stew/ soon tofu. path notes say reth's cooking store.. they are not showing up for me ( im like 60 something in cooking so not a level issue

[marsh drum]

are you going to the register or reth directly? it's in reth's cooking guild store!

[lament kestrel]

oooh the GUILD store thanks!

[lime rain]

How do u get this idol?

[left shell]

I just need my pumpkins to come in and I can complete the cooking accomplishment.

[jade jetty]

Hey do any of yall know where I have to fish specifically for Fish Stee recipe? I've been fishing in Bahari Bay with worms for like 3 hours and I've just got tons of Tuna.

[mortal quartz]

If you're catching bluefin tuna and Bahari bream, unstarred, you're fishing in the right spot. At least pre-patch, it did not drop from the starred fish nodes; I don't know about now, though. But best to fish outside the nodes, to be safe. It IS quite a rare drop, though - less than 2% - so it might take you a bit.

[jade jetty]

Thanks, that's what I've been catching. I almost never go for nodes unless I'm chasing new fish as it is. Thanks for the reply. (Time to go to Einar and buy 300 worms...)

[mortal quartz]

Does Einar sell regular worms now? Useful update, if so

I know the general store has them, but options are good

[grim ferry]

Hey guys! What's the easiest and best focus food to cook solo with cooking under 10?

[mortal quartz]

Steak dinner is one of the most cost-effective - only 4 ingredients, pretty straightforward steps, only one thing from the garden (so the rest of your garden can make you money instead of getting eaten).

(Step order for solo steak dinner: start > chop sprouts > timed flip > roll dough > start oven > mix butter > retrieve bread > add ingredients & flip)

However, if you haven't gotten your focus bonus % up to at least 50-60% (recommended for solo players before raising focus bar maximum), you probably won't need as much focus as it gives quiiite yet.

In that case, hearty vegetable soup or Palian onion soup (from a found item quest) would be just fine! They are both chop-and-stir soups.

What do you think?

[grim ferry]

I've been doing potato soup. my max focus right now is like 500 or thereabouts and my bonus is 77%

[snow orbit]

hi, where do i get the pumpkin (veggie) ?

[mortal quartz]

Tamala's potion shop, requires questing to unlock

[mortal quartz]

Potato soup is pretty expensive because of the potatoes, unfortunately .

If you like that focus amount better than steak dinner's 225/337, pan fried dumplings are a good alternative, and also less complex to make.

[snow orbit]

thanks! i've already unlocked Tamala's shop...i just thought there was a separate quest to get the seed

[barren meadow]

Has the sushi recipe dissappear for anyone else or is it intended?

[livid canyon]

best way to get elder clam mushroom meat?

[pure bay]

i was today years old i realised i could open elder clam mushrooms

[pure bay]

foraging in mauvais probably

[dim obsidian]

Are Starred Ancient Wood Seed and Starred Ancient Amber actually obtainable or not?

[analog mulch]

You can open elderclam shrooms?!

[grim ferry]

I think I was making it because I have a ton of potatoes XD. Thanks!

[mortal quartz]

I still have it 🤔

[mortal quartz]

There are no starred tree seeds or ambers for any of the other tree types, so I have a hard time imagining that ancient trees would have them.

[final cloak]

Think of them like unopened oysters in Bahari. You can also get black pearls from them but it’s a very rare drop.

[analog mulch]

i always fish for starq because I know the moment I dont I will get afish I need for the achievement lol, so I dont have Sushi lollll

[mortal quartz]

lol they really need to find a different symbol for "this item can open" vs. "this item can be consumed"

The purple up-arrow is very misleading in some cases

[analog mulch]

Literally just a different color would at least be something!

Also, just a friendly reminder t everyone to check villager’s rooms for newly added recipes and found item quests!

[teal oyster]

They listed al new recipes locs in patch notes right

[torn mango]

Where do we find sacred flowers?

[mortal quartz]

Also in patch notes :D Sacred flowers come from a bunch of places, including random pickups, quest rewards, and hunting

[final pike]

Hey folks, so, I'm currently cooking steak meals, I think that's what it's called, requires spice herbs, butter, wheat and meat, and I was wondering what's a step up for the next best focus boost that's best bang for the effort. I have 675 focus ATM. I currently don't have apples or blueberries but have the seeds for em. I thought of dumplings but that's just a tiny bit better that the steak combo.

[mortal quartz]

For solo cooking, yes?

[final pike]

Yea until I get the mats for cooking parties

I'm currently hunting and using excess seeds for gold income, while doing animal crossing like * fish aquarium in my house like an exhibit. So need a lot of focus based foods

[sick bluff]

Hello, I'm a new player, and I was wondering if I should be selling or keeping flowers? I.e Crystal Lake Lotus and Spice Sprouts. The lotus description mentions uses for dye so I was wondering if we can dye things later on with them? Thanks!

[final pike]

@sick bluff I think there's a modification bench so maybe? 🤔

[sick bluff]

Ooo okies, I'll definitely hold onto them then just in case Thanks!

[final pike]

You could plant them so they don't take up space.

[sick bluff]

brilliant!

[mortal quartz]

Steak dinner is going to be hard to beat, and 2 starred ones fits very neatly into your current max focus. If you want something higher than the pan fried dumplings, those are going to be:

• stuffed cabbage rolls (412 starred, has an unusually high star rate and always stacks no matter what meat/mushroom you use)
• cream of tomato soup (also 412)
• spicy stir fry (487 starred)
• phoenixfire relleno (450 starred)

I haven't mathed the new recipes yet, but beans have a very high opportunity cost, and pumpkins take forever and are also very high value per crop, so my hopes are not currently very high for the recipes' potential as cost-effective solo focus food. I'll see what the numbers say once I have the energy to dig the steps out of the recipe UI. :)

In the meanwhile, here's the math I DO have (on the What to Eat) tab, if you're curious: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qPbCKTJg8xYlR1Pw60ZkaXAERRkXaMC0r3UZZKLWQ_g/edit?gid=41849516#gid=41849516

[mortal quartz]

Spice sprouts are used a LOT for cooking, so hang onto those! Crystal lake lotuses are used for flare arrows (used to mark rare nodes/call attention to things) and also in quite a few furniture crafting recipes. That's where the "dye" part comes from: they're used to give a purple or blue color to furnishings (as part of the original recipe, not as part of modifying them later).

In general, I recommend checking the wiki page (palia.wiki.gg) for an item to see what all it's used in, if you're needing to decide whether to hang onto it. :)

[sick bluff]

Thank you!!

[dapper lava]

[kind gulch]

If anyone wants to do some cooking I need to get rid of ingredients!

[mossy shadow]

Where can we find the elderflower?

[mossy shadow]

Saw on Reddit they are at the tops of trees in the Deep Woods.

[little brook]

is ther any way to get a steady supply of brightshrooms rather that going hunting for them everytime

[worthy lichen]

you can use a dowsing rod to find them more easily, and request five a real life day, but you can’t farm them or anything.

[little brook]

alright thanks

[mortal quartz]

You can buy them with foraging medals if you have to, also.

[little brook]

yeah saw that

[mortal quartz]

Do you need them for arrows?

[little brook]

yeah

ive got some now

[mortal quartz]

You can also buy dispel arrows with hunting medals if needed, in case that helps, and if you have the reward statue from the fire temple, you can check it once per RL hour for a chance at arrows (and gold!)

If you set up your bags right and are willing to server hop, you can even "force" it to give you a narrower range of items.

[novel iron]

lol can someone explain to me like i’m 5 how a cooking party works/the benefits… (i just started playing today and enjoying the peaceful solo grind 🙂 but will be looking forward to more socializing down the road)

i should ask that in newbies prob my bad

[mortal quartz]

I'll be happy to, but please give me a bit to wake up all the way and get to a real kb :)

[mortal quartz]

Okay, so!

ELI5: Cooking parties

In case you didn't already know, whenever players cook together, anybody who participates in cooking the recipe gets a full copy of the completed dish. "Participating" in this case means either starting the recipe or completing at least one minigame step: chop, roll, mix, stir, flip, or pulling a finished ingredient out of the oven.

This means that it is possible to split the effort and the time required to cook a dish, so everyone only does a small part, but the whole thing goes faster. It is also cheaper, because each person only has to bring some of the ingredients.

[mortal quartz]

Example: Splitting Up Steak Dinner

Let's take steak dinner for an example. Steak dinner has 4 ingredients: meat, wheat, spice sprouts, and butter. It also has a number of different steps: start the recipe, chop the sprouts, roll the wheat, mix the herb butter, bake the bread, and flip the pan twice.

If you cook it alone, you need to have all of the ingredients and do all of the work yourself.

If you cook it with one other friend, maybe you only bring the meat and the spice sprouts, and your friend brings the butter and wheat.

But if you want to, you can make a "full party" of it:

• one person starts the recipe with the meat, then watches the pan and flips it when it needs it
• second person chops the sprouts
• third person rolls the wheat into dough
• fourth person mixes the herb butter
• fifth person puts the dough in the oven and pulls it out when the timer finishes*
  *This job does not need any ingredients, so we call it a "free role."

....and EVERY person who does one of those jobs gets 3 steak dinners at the end.

If your role is to chop spice sprouts, then instead of 90 steak dinner costing you 30 meat, 30 wheat, 30 butter, and 30 spice sprouts, you can show up to a party with only 30 spice sprouts and still walk away with all of the food.

Additionally, because the all you need to do to get the food is complete a minigame step, you can have overprep: doing an extra ingredient step that isn't needed to finish the recipe, but still gets you participation credit. For steak dinner, a sixth person (and seventh and eighth....) could come and chop extra spice sprouts and also get the food.

[mortal quartz]

Okay, so, profit?

When it comes to high-value recipes, they usually use either LOTS of small ingredients, like celebration cake, or a few hard-to-get ingredients, like poke bowls made with epic (or legendary!) fish and extra dari cloves. This makes them expensive to cook on your own, and not very much profit.

It's also harder to get starred dishes (which are worth more than unstarred ones made with the same ingredients) when you are one person cooking, because your chance of getting a starred dish (star rate) goes up when it takes you less time to finish the dish. So, splitting the work so it goes faster also makes you more likely to get more money.

Cake parties are an excellent example. They have 18 different steps, which takes a long time and costs a lot to cook solo, but if you split them among 18 people, suddenly you are getting 3 starred cakes (280g each, if the fruit frosters all use apples and it turns out starred) for the price of 1 sweet leaf (value: 23g, or maximum 45g if you feed it to your worms).

For fish parties, there often aren't very many steps to the recipe, but one or two of the ingredients are worth a lot. So, in that case, if you wanted to make 60 rounds of rare fish sashimi, perhaps 3 people bring 20 starred rare fish each, and then take turns chopping their fish, starting the recipe (spice sprouts), and making rice. Everyone else who attends makes extra rice to get credit for the dish, and that way those 60 fish get shared with 25 people instead of only 3.

It's basically a way of multiplying and sharing resources so that lots of people can benefit. :)

[ripe spear]

I've been holding out on upgrading my focus lvl, aaand the fact that focus does f*** all now that all my skills are lvl20+, my focus is at 820/82% and I stopped cuz the % upgrades were way to low for the cost. But now I hope the Elderwood recipes might be fun and higher tier. Like the burger 800+ focus. But theres no info on how to obtain them, have anyone figure out how to get them except the low tier ones at reth? I stayed att 820 focus also cuz food with 800+ are rare.

[mortal quartz]

All the recipe locations are listed in the patch notes!

The burger is wild, 3 vinegar per recipe when they cost 200g each

Also, there are only so many things you can spend renown on, so you might as well

My main has been capped on renown with nothing to buy for ages, and my alt has all the stuff bought as well and is slowly creeping up on the cap

Alt account hasn't even made it to the 3-month mark lol

[ripe spear]

Would you look at that, I read the patch notes as soon they dropped but I guess I missed that, my bad 😅

[mortal quartz]

To be fair, they had a LOT of info!

[ripe spear]

Speaking of, have they increased the prices of slot of things? Wanted to buy silk to build the new decors... What was it 900g!!?? Insane

[mortal quartz]

That went up in 0.180 when they did the big economic update; it increased the sell values of most non-gardening items, which also increased the vendor prices (which are generally 2-4x markup)

[ripe spear]

Damn, shows how much I've played recently 😅

[chilly plover]

Anyone know where specifically I can find the elder wood lotus and elderflower?

[novel iron]

@mortal quartz thank you so so so much for putting the time in to type that out for me!!! that sounds like a good way to meet new people too i’m gonna have to find me a cooking squad one of these days

[mortal quartz]

I would recommend checking palia.th.gl (interactive map) for an idea of their spawn areas.

Elderflowers in particular spawn ||up the sides of the giant, climbable cylindrical trees in the Deep Wood, kind of like heat root. They're not on the TOPS, but on the sides. They show up on a dowsing rod along with flowtatoes.||

[lapis terrace]

Has the game locked you in place when trying to cook the new burger? I have been locked in place twice and can’t finish the food.

[echo wagon]

Did anyone get an infected flowtato yet or is it also not obtainable rn?

[rose mauve]

I’ve found an infected flowtato

[echo wagon]

Where? It’s driving me crazy

[stable sequoia]

I really hope someone can help me. I need 4 flowers to finish my shrines (I’ve maxed out the purchases). And I feel like I’ve run this map 10 times looking for them. Can someone give me some sort of idea where to look? TIA

[teal oyster]

Theres probs a reason potionshop sells em but if we dont need to buy lemme know

[rose mauve]

I think I just found it around the deep woods area

[echo wagon]

Yea as always complaining here helped a lot but ty!

[rose mauve]

I think they aren’t like labeled very well , like they don’t show much infection - so I guess go around grabbing them

[echo wagon]

I used the tracker relict tho but wasn’t showing on it so idk.

[teal oyster]

Need to up it each tier shows more stuff

[echo wagon]

I have tier 2, so forageables and bugs, or does it upgrade the forageables u can track too?

[teal oyster]

Mh that should work

[rich mason]

Hi there! Does anyone know how to flip food on PS5? I stupidly skipped the tutorial and now I’m ruining meals left and right 🫠

[iron eagle]

You can review the tutorials again!

[rich mason]

Thank you! Where would I find those?

[iron eagle]

On Switch, it's under Settings - Gameplay

[rich mason]

Thank you!!

[mortal quartz]

I'm not sure what the keybind is on PS controller, but the flip minigame you need to hold down the "do minigame action" button (same one you use to chop) and then release when the dot lines up with the circle.

[worthy lichen]

should probably be R2 if it lines up with switch controller

[sinful quartz]

I'm a newbie and still figuring out cooking with stove so what's the easiest recipe to cook for solo players?

[teal oyster]

campfire grilled meat

[sinful quartz]

Not enough for focus points tho. 😕

[teal oyster]

yeay but its the easiest one and u can cook 1 per second with 5 campfires going nonstop

maybe one of the emals is more worth it ren we needur guidancehere

[mortal quartz]

The easiest on the stove are the chop-and-stir soups, like hearty vegetable soup or Palian onion soup (from a found-item quest)

The next step up from those is probably pan-fried dumplings (bought from cash register at the inn at Reth's bar) which have a very forgiving timer and are just chop 4 things, mix them together, flip once. No timed flips or anything.

You do need to have the mixing station unlocked for that, though.

[native pulsar]

Got a foraging question, maybe someone knows. What is better to do to get a tree seed, to cut more trees no matter the size or focus cutting bigger trees?

[high hemlock]

Best place to find the flowtado and lotus

[high hemlock]

bigger

[final ginkgo]

Is anyone else having palia not see ingredients that are there? Recipes tell me I don't have spicy peppers or rice, but I do, I have plenty. I even grew some new ones and harvested them and it still says I don't have them. Anyone else?

[marsh drum]

do you only have starred versions of them?

[echo wagon]

Lotus on the left side of ew, I find them mostly at Okanaa Bog and Mauvais Way. Flowtato only deep woods. No specific spot, I actually ran around and if I didn’t find one I jumped server.

[high hemlock]

yea what im doing now for the flowtato lol

i need both of those infected 😦

[echo wagon]

The infected one was the last I needed and I searched over 2 days for it - best would be to party up with someone who uses the tracking relict and you use the bag of illusions. That makes it easier

[high hemlock]

yea waiting on my bestie to get online lol

[thorny crane]

has anyone been able to cook star quality bean burgers? not sure if it's a bug or just me doing badly, haha

[reef flame]

I only cooked it once, but I got it first try.

[thorny crane]

ty!! guess its a #skillissue lmao

[mortal quartz]

Tree seeds are only from medium and large sized trees, yep

[mortal quartz]

That's a pretty complex recipe, so having to roll again for RNG to cooperate if you're cooking it solo is expected. It may be easier if you're willing to team up with some other folks to make it easier to finish the recipe faster!

[solemn pier]

I wish I could atleast harvest the adult flowtrees on my own plot. I need the flow wood and they are tempting me.

[mortal quartz]

You could host a flow tree chop! or just ask if someone on the server would be willing to help you

[solemn pier]

Don't have enough yet (only 6 matures) to really make that worth while. But I might in time. Just feels a bit hmmmm to grow out fully for the seed and then also make it solo unharvestable.

Just have been nice to have a... oh few flow wood to short, lets cut one of my trees.

[obsidian quail]

Genuine question. If I were to host a cooking party and did ALL the work/had ALL the ingredients- Would the other people get the exp and cooking item? [I'm grinding for cooking lvl 20, and want to share my dishes ]

[mortal quartz]

As long as they completed at least one minigame step, either as a free role, as overprep, or if you put down an ingredient for them and then they chopped/mixed it or whatever, then they would get credit. But they do have to participate in the recipe in some way.

[obsidian quail]

Darn

[mortal quartz]

Why?

[obsidian quail]

Okay lol- Thank you for that.
And Well, I guess I wanted to gift people dishes [as if I'm a doin a lil bakery LOL]

[mortal quartz]

I guess I'm a little confused about what you're envisioning! Do you mean, like, they just stand around on your plot and get the food somehow?

I guess if it turns out unstarred you could fill requests 🤔

Would anyone be willing to party up with me to make an apple pie and trout dinner for the bundles? It would be greatly greatly appreciated

[final ginkgo]

Ah yes. Does this mean they won’t show up unless I check the used starred ingredients box?

[marsh drum]

yep! you dont have to have all starred ingredients to complete a recipe though, it will use starred first and then substitute non-starred ingredients for the rest!

[final ginkgo]

Thanks!

[buoyant matrix]

which ingredients for starred muujin bahari have to be starred? :) gonna host 50 tommorow

[mortal quartz]

Generally, only the gardened stuff; meat, too, if people have it. Starred chapaa meat is a pain, though.

[buoyant matrix]

so onion , peppers, corn, wheat?

[mortal quartz]

That sounds about right. The rest (mushrooms, sprouts, garlic) are forageables, right? (or bought things like butter and salt, which are never starred)

[buoyant matrix]

yeah just wondering about muujin meat if it should be starred

[mortal quartz]

If it's a public party, I wouldn't require it, but lots of people have it anyway from hunting.

It certainly won't hurt to use it if they do have it, so you can say you prefer starred but don't require it.

[buoyant matrix]

alright thanks <3

[zinc pasture]

what is the best food for full upgraded focus lvl?

[mortal quartz]

Depends on your preferences and whether you cook solo or in groups. Do you like to eat whenever you notice you need focus, or do you prefer to almost-deplete your bar before you eat? (or fully deplete it, though that tends to make you miss a chunk of focus bonus)

[zinc pasture]

solo, never done a group one before. I love to have a full bar always when doing things

[mortal quartz]

In that case, for solo cooking, I recommend steak dinner. It's the most cost-effective food for solo cooking, only has 4 ingredients, and only one of those is garden produce (which leaves your garden tiles free to make you gold). It's 337 focus starred, which imo is just right for eating whenever you notice you need to.

However, if you can work together with other people to cook together, it gets faster and cheaper :)

(ime it's also a perfect recipe to cook as a duo)

Other good options include pan fried dumplings (375 starred) and meaty stir fry (also 375 starred, and can use all kinds of things as the "chopped vegetable" - including ginger and green onion, so all it uses from the garden is rice).

I'm also partial to stuffed cabbage rolls (412 starred). The recipe is... kinda broken? At least when cooked in a small group, it almost always seems to turn out starred (95%+ star rate), and it always stacks no matter what combination of meat and mushroom you use.

[zinc pasture]

oki, thank you sm!

[snow forum]

could anyone with the fish stew recipe invite me to their house so I can cook together? its the last one for both achievements =/

[crystal sun]

I am new to the game and cooking seems difficult to level up. Can anyone explain how to do it faster? I just keep making vegetable stew and ramen when I can

[marsh drum]

the beginning levels are very repetitive when it comes to leveling up so it can feel a bit slower! but mass cooking grilled fish over the campfire or stocking up on your current focus food is your best bet for cooking solo! as well as making sure you upgrade you focus bonus at the phoenix shrine, and eat while you cook to get the most XP!

if youre open to cooking with others, cooking parties are the fastest way to level up if you're wanting to level up very quickly! still recommend upgrading your focus bonus though :)

sadly there really isn't a recipe to cook solo for gold besides unstarred grilled fish on the campfire? otherwise cooking is really only profitable in cooking parties

[plain elbow]

Do star amber and star seed really exist?

They say there are two successes in the harvest but with the infected crops it makes 3

[hidden grotto]

I am having a heck of a time finding these beans I don't know if I'm just not seeing them or bad timing

[lyric torrent]

honestly sometimes i see a ton and sometimes zero, ||but they are attached to the bottom part of non choppable trees i think (don’t take my word for this i can’t remember exactly lol sorry)||

[lyric torrent]

i looked it up, it’s like i said and it looks like this

[hidden grotto]

I found one before I had to leave for work. So I'll just have to grind it out

[mortal quartz]

They don't glow much, so they are harder to see than the other forageables. If you are really struggling, you might try turning foliage all the way off to clear out the area around the base of trees? It might help, not 100 percent sure, but that often helps me a lot with finding other forage.

They are also a bit easier to spot in the more brightly-lit areas of the wood

is steak dinner still the most economical focus point recipe in elderwood?

u coudl also check patchnotes or paliatracker

Or were they fixed with the patch? Cause I remember the bok Choi (is that how you write it?) didn’t work for and a couple things too…

[marsh drum]

if you're referring to the green onion and bok choy, those we're both fixed a while ago!

[frigid coral]

would the Flowtato Fries with Ketchup be more efficient cost and focus-wise than the Steak Dinner to make?

[tardy bobcat]

Veggie Chili is 1,012 focus is the most effective

[strong dagger]

anyone want to invite me to cooking party? please

[spark wharf]

Also looking for a cooking party!

[mortal quartz]

If the flowtato weren't a rare forageable and ketchup didn't require 200g of vinegar, maybe

[surreal yarrow]

Did anyone make a table (sheet,etc) for the new food and ingredients to see what’s more profitable yet?

[thorny cloud]

So... Bean Burgers

why so good and why only considered level 2 complexity

[mortal quartz]

I haven't had the focus to be able to yet, but if you do, please share! The starred beans have an opportunity cost of 135g each (more than potatoes at 120g), so I don't have very high hopes tbh. Pumpkins might redeem themselves though. I'm often surprised by the numbers.

[frigid coral]

Hey thanks! math on this seems to check out--would be nice to not have to use so many veggies

[tardy bobcat]

Any fish recipe with unstarred starred maws is gonna be very profitable!

What are cooking parties ?

[worthy lichen]

!cakeparty

[covert pivot]

How to join a Cake Party: You can check available parties being made here: https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1143270926394335282 .
Guidelines for joining a party:

• Double check all info within the post's Title and Description, provided by the Original Poster/Party Owner.
• Make sure you have enough ingredients for the amount of cakes specified in the post, as well as enough time to complete them (some cake parties can be quite time consuming).
• If a link is provided for the Party App as a signup, make sure you select the correct cooking station (which shows how much of every ingredient is required) and that your name is the same as in-game (this is for getting invited by the Party Owner).
• If you've already signed up, but can't make it in time for the specified start time (it is better to be ready a bit early, to avoid delays), or don't have enough ingredients, it's best to let everyone know you're withdrawing. (while, using the app, you can click the Withdraw button).

For more information, check out the Guide to Cake Parties.

[worthy lichen]

folks get together and cook something together (example above is a cake party.) each person brings an ingredient/does a specific role in the recipe, so you put in less resources to get a better dish out of it.

[grim nest]

Ohhhh wait that’s so cool! I’d love to do one but I don’t have them ingredients and don’t know how to get some x

there's free roles you can do, where you don't have to have any ingredients, but you still participate and get the dishes! a good example is the oven role for a cake party!

Ohhhh! I’m definitely down for one then 🙂

[copper gust]

has anyone gotten a star ancient tree seed or amber yet? i am convinced they dont exist. trying to get all the achievements

[fierce grotto]

not yet on my end... and I chopped a LOT of those damn trees XD guess the drop rate is pretty low maybe

[copper gust]

it has to be more rare than a star ruby at this point

[fierce grotto]

i meeeean, maybe AS rare... starred ruby are pretty hard to come by ngl

[copper gust]

i have 13 ancient amber and drop rate for star ruby is 1 in 10 so it could be as rare and im just unlucky

honestly i'd take it. my attempts to find somebody interested waffled out though so im just here chopping... chopping... chopping... i swear once i get apples growing im going to join cake parties until i have thousands of cakes and never cook again.

[marsh drum]

if you start the mini game, and then back out of it, another person can continue it while using your ingredients!

[worthy lichen]

https://paliaparty.app

forageable stuff like sweet leaf can go in cakes, and some cake parties have roles that are just putting the cakes in the oven and taking them out when they’re ready, no ingredients needed!

wow heykiah has a way better suggestion tho

[pliant mesa]

really!? man i need to find some starving newbies who wanna chop and setup 4 prep stations... i've been making cabbage rolls and its two mixes, four chops, and 5d6 psychic damage

[marsh drum]

and yes! like meeks said you can also join cake parties without needing apples! if you have a lot of sweetleaf, or join the free roles you can start joining them now while you are working towards apples :)

[pliant mesa]

hmmm that's a good tip, i do have a ton of sweet leaf. do they need to be starred?

[worthy lichen]

cabbage rolls make for a hearty paladinner, at least.

[marsh drum]

nope not at all!

[pliant mesa]

in that case i've got 95 sweet leaf regular and 15 starred time to find a wagon to ride, thanks

Oh, that's an odd one. What's that on the ingredients "shelf" at the bottom of your screen?

[mortal quartz]

I think that accomplishment MAY have been mis-coded, because there are no starred versions of any of the other ambers or tree seed types. I would be extremely surprised if they existed in truth. It wouldn't be the first accomplishment in this expansion to be bugged. (Then again, we have random non-edible flowers not used in cooking that have starred versions and that can also be fed to the worms, so who knows...)

I would also like to cook the bahari muujin since it's the last item I need for the temple of the night if anyone has the recipe already

if you want to create your own, use https://paliaparty.app to set one up. you can use that site to search for existing parties. you can post your party or look for existing ones in https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1143270926394335282. can you elaborate on what you mean by “the most ideal way to set up for one”? are you looking for ideas on how to set up a plot for it, general information on throwing parties, etc.?

[worthy lichen]

https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Sushi#How_to_Obtain

you can get it by ||fishing in ponds with glow worms at any time of day. don’t fish in spots with bubbles. a lot of people had the most luck finding it by fishing in the pond on their plot. note: i don’t know if there are ponds in elderwood, but if there are, i’m not sure if it’ll pop up there. try your home plot though, that’s where i got it.||

[humble sorrel]

[shadow vector]

[teal oyster]

are bena burgers that good for partys compared to other foods ?

[worthy lichen]

depends on how many people you want to participate!

[shadow vector]

when we do cooking parties, we're usually full. and yeah, we're testing it out because bean burgers are the highest worth now. more than poke bowls!

[teal oyster]

oh u cook burgers for money

[worthy lichen]

doesn’t look like the palia party site has been updated with the EW recipes yet and i don’t have it so i can’t help you on cooking station or ingredient and role count. anyone with a cooking party plot should be able to host though. maybe someone here has done the math, try searching the server? if not, if you end up doing it, share the results!

[verbal dew]

i made an extra ketchup on accident but everything was there

[humble sorrel]

|| I was fishing in a bahari pond in a bubble, and when I caught the fish, the recipe came with it, apparently it is possible even in bubbles ||

I even recorded a clip, but I don't think I can send it here

[worthy lichen]

oh, didn’t think that was possible! maybe it’s just ||less likely to show up in bubble spots?|| either way, congratulations!

[mortal quartz]

define "crazy ingredients"?

[mortal quartz]

Oh... that ketchup probably ate your second chopped tomato, unless it went in the dish before you made the second ketchup

Sometimes this can happen where a recipe needs an ingredient to go in the pot as-is and also needs a second one processed into another ingredient. I've seen it happen with phoenixfire relleno (second pepper gets made into sauce) and with lucky braised fish (5th green onion gets made into fragrant spice mix).

It breaks the recipe and all you can do is let it run out :(

[mortal quartz]

Ooh that's fun, they must have changed the way it is caught! They did say they made it easier... thanks for the info!

[mortal quartz]

worth more than poke bowls with epic fish? surely not

[native pulsar]

Does anyone know how much 3 starred and 3 non starred cakes (with best quality ingredients/apples) sells for? 756 and 504? or is it more

[teal oyster]

somethign like hta for all 3 of em

[native pulsar]

I want to compare it with bean burgers, so I'd need the exacts prices but don't have the ingredients to test this for myself

[teal oyster]

i ran out of milk so i couldnt make a burger ... otherwise id known im gonna colelct one of each new dish in starred version

[native pulsar]

yeah I think burgers are more profitable than cakes
3xBurgers - 663, 30x Burgers - 6,630.
⭐ 3x Burgers - 993, ⭐ 30x Burgers - 9,930

[mortal quartz]

Keep in mind that burgers require 3 vinegar, which cost 200g each at Zeki's but only contribute 100g toward the dish sell value formula

[mortal quartz]

Unstarred apple cakes are 187g each, or 561g/round
Starred apple cakes are 280g each, 840g/round

So, yes, burgers do have higher revenue per round than cakes (but so do muujin Bahari, fish stew/sushi/poke with rare glow fish or better, and perhaps other things).

(sushi and poke - edit: and muujin Bahari - all require 1 vinegar per round, incidentally)

[native pulsar]

Awesome, thanks for the stats!

[mortal quartz]

The main thing that's been buoying cakes as a sustainable party type is actually that they require relatively few produce items (which are heavily time-gated) and that they can be VERY fast to make with an efficient group - well under 45 seconds per round, sometimes approaching 30 seconds per round.

I'll be VERY curious to see how that shakes out for the bean burger recipe, because one reason muujin Bahari isn't too popular is that it averages a minute+ per round. It's incredibly tedious, though double-roling can take that down some (with accompanying reductions in individual profits). Same issue with Lucky Braised Fish, which has a minimum time of 2 minutes per round.

[native pulsar]

this is the stats of our test party from today

Time: ~35 seconds per round or 30-33 minutes for the whole party (50 rounds)
Estimated money: 33,150-49,650 (test party of 50 rounds made us 42,720)
3xBurgers - 663, 30x Burgers - 6,630.
⭐ 3x Burgers - 993, ⭐ 30x Burgers - 9,930

[mortal quartz]

Very nice! What was the star rate, if you know?

[native pulsar]

65% I think, it was kind of bad tbh

[mortal quartz]

That's about typical for cakes, actually

and for most recipes unless they use either a very very high proportion of produce or fish ingredients (i.e., more starred ingredient weight) or have something wrong with them (cabbage rolls)

Surprised the star rate was so low with such fast rounds, though, ouch

Seems like the timer is probably pretty unforgiving; doesn't the bean burger recipe have something like 5 or 6 irreducible step layers?

[native pulsar]

we had longer rounds (up to and more), I just noted this down for the next test party

[mortal quartz]

nodnod

Cakes have a 5 minute timer for 4 irreducible step layers (i.e., steps where the previous step MUST be completed first - a chain of dependencies)

including a 10-second baking time

[native pulsar]

yeah I think this only has 3 layers max, let me check

[mortal quartz]

Maybe I was thinking of the chili...

[native pulsar]

Yeah I think it´s three: mustard first, then mustard goes into mayo and mayo goes into something (I think)

[mortal quartz]

Pardon me while I noodle...

• Mashed beans (roll) -> Bean Patty (flip) ✅
• Farmer's cheese (stove stir) ✅
• Chopped tomato ✅
• Chopped onion ✅
• Basic Dough (roll) -> Burger Buns (15s bake) ✅
• Chopped tomato -> Ketchup (mix) ⤵️
• Mustard (mix) -> Mayonnaise (mix) -> Burger Sauce ✅
• Chopped onion, Chopped garlic ⤴️

[native pulsar]

It´s okay, I love noodles

[mortal quartz]

And make sure you don't accidentally make EXTRA ketchup or you will kill the round XD

[native pulsar]

D:

[mortal quartz]

Since apparently that's a thing with this recipe, right alongside phoenixfire relleno and LBF...

[native pulsar]

we only did overprep starred tomatoes, everything else was fine, no doubling

[mortal quartz]

Oh yeah tomato overprep would solve that problem very handily

...hilariously, you could also cheese overprep

for folks who struggle with chopping

[native pulsar]

If the ketchup messes things up, I'd rather have no overprep on the stoves then

[mortal quartz]

Funny that the farmer's cheese doesn't require any acid XD

like you've already got 3 vinegar in the damn thing, why not go for FOUR

[native pulsar]

Don't draw attention to this, the recipe already use 3 vinegar

[mortal quartz]

🤣

Maybe we're just making the cheese in the same pot, after the ketchup, hm

(blech)

The vinegar really is carrying the recipe, though. 300g contributed to the sell value formula from those alone.

...does it not have a starting ingredient?

[native pulsar]

don´t think so

[mortal quartz]

0_0 no ruined food

[native pulsar]

oh?

Yeah no starting ingredient

[mortal quartz]

wild

[native pulsar]

I overestimated, 42% non starred, 58% starred

[shadow vector]

Well according to said friend it is. And we make our poke bowls with Giant goldfish. But we also only do 30 rounds of of poke bowls and 69 rounds of cakes, and now burger beans. I think we’ll learn more on Tuesday when we do our first party lol

[mortal quartz]

Oh, ouch

[native pulsar]

oh I didn't even notice that you guys were talking about this before me

[mortal quartz]

OH yeah maybe if you're not comparing round-for-round

[shadow vector]

Yeah once you said EPIC fish, I was like wait a minute.. 😅

[mortal quartz]

Yeahhhh poke with goldfish and dari salsa are 994g EACH, not per round...

Poke can go fast, but most poke parties build in a delay for overprep since the star rate doesn't suffer much for it

[shadow vector]

We do giant goldfish and then heat root for the salsa but I don’t remember how much it is per round

[native pulsar]

It's crazy if this will make more money than the poke, I doubt it though. I would be happy if it does cause I'm not a fan of fishing and dari is rare

I think this is starred epic (goldfish if I remember correctly) and dari salsa

I think poke is still the op one, but burgers are better than cakes

I wonder how much starred maws cost since it's a legendary, poke could be even more op

[mortal quartz]

Oh yeah Maws poke is just. absurd.

One nice thing about the bean burgers is that it has a smaller role count (14) vs. cakes (18) and muujin (20)

so a "full party" is only 14 people, or 11 if you have ingredient-bringers double up on the free roles

Is it 260 280 XP per round before focus bonus?

[native pulsar]

No clue about the xp

[mortal quartz]

oops, it's 14 minigame steps, not 13

Missed a free role

fixed my numbers

(Recipe XP is typically 20 base XP per minigame step)

[native pulsar]

I can try making this in like 10 minutes and check

[mortal quartz]

That would be awesome :)

I can't be in-game at the moment or I would come help

[native pulsar]

All good!

[mortal quartz]

But... mm, yeah, the vinegar really yanks the rug out in terms of "profitability" (improvement over opportunity cost)

the beans, too, since they're worth 135g each if you turn them into seeds

[teal oyster]

do maws partys exist yet?

[mortal quartz]

You about double your bean value if you turn them into burgers (+117% improvement over turning them into seeds, or an average of 476g "profit" per round assuming 66% star rate)

[mortal quartz]

They do, and must have teams of very dedicated fishers

[teal oyster]

that must be 1million gold per hour then

[verbal dew]

O: thanks!!!!!!!!! ❤️

[mortal quartz]

Thank you for your sacrifice to get this knowledge out into the world

[teal oyster]

the only fish i could ever supply to fishdish partys are common uncommon and rare ones i got to few epics to bother

[mortal quartz]

Save your rares, then :)

[teal oyster]

they have an use besdies decor or ingredients?

[mortal quartz]

And bundles/relics, I guess, for some of them

[teal oyster]

i thoguth artefacts were elderfish only so im saving all elderstuf till i maxed all that XD

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, they are

[mortal quartz]

(For comparison, fruit frosters at cake parties more than QUADRUPLE their opportunity cost (+354% improvement) for the apples and sugar compared to solo-processing the apples/saving their sugar money for something else)

Ketchup (vinegar only) for burgers is comparable (+340%) but as soon as you start needing to add other things, it drops, until the mayo role is at +188%

If you're a mayo person (vinegar, egg, oil), if you walk out of a 30x bean burger party with 26.4k in revenue (66% star rate - possibly an overestimate), then after you subtract your costs, it's actually 17.2k.

So, this may be a good time to do something like partial rotations

e.g., 6 people bring enough for 15 rounds of the vinegar role, and spend the other half of their time doing the free role

And beans person swaps with the cheese person or something halfway through

[native pulsar]

Not sure how xp works, but I have my focus maxed and this was started with a full focus bar

[teal oyster]

wow burger partys are a thing now 😮

so are fry partys

[mortal quartz]

Thanks! Is your focus bonus % at 100%?

[native pulsar]

Yup, everything is maxed

[mortal quartz]

Hm, that's 260 base XP...

did I screw something up squints

Maybe it just gives less XP than it "should". Always possible.

[native pulsar]

@mortal quartz would garlic would be fine as overprep for this? Or the price would go down as well

Or having a main role with starred tomatoes/onions and overprep with non starred?

[south pawn]

ok so i have a question. I have the quest that i have to make Sernuk Noodle Soup, not stew. And I found the recipe in Ashura's room but it didn't register as a recipe to cook and find when i go to my stove. Anyone else have this issue? or know how to accomplish this quest?

[native pulsar]

You can always cook with other people who have the recipes, but that's not a solve for the issue but a workaround

[south pawn]

thanks! that's a good workaround

[native pulsar]

I can come over and help you make it if you want

[south pawn]

i would appreciate it!

[native pulsar]

What's your ign, I'll add you (or you can add me - Brigita) . Also do you have carrots, cause that's the only thing I can't help with

[south pawn]

i do have carrots. my name in game is Althaea Moon

[mortal quartz]

Overprep doesn't affect the dish sell value in any way UNLESS there is an ingredient variable (e.g. "any fish") and someone uses an ingredient with a different unstarred sell value that finishes being prepped before the ingredient you intended to use.

(Usually that's more of a problem in the case of accidents)

If the OP folks are using unstarred ingredients, then they likewise need to wait for the main role person to finish chopping so the starred version is the one that goes into the dish

(it's basically a race: whichever applicable items gets finished first goes in)

[native pulsar]

this has been so educational, thank you!

I can give advice on any decor glitch but know nothing when it comes to other stuff haha

[mortal quartz]

Cooking and gardening have basically been my whole areas of special interest in this game XD

[teal oyster]

wow mine is just uhm gardening and uhm whatever else it is that i do

[mortal quartz]

Because I ended up with friends who wanted to host cooking parties, so they had questions about profit, and so then I had questions about profit, and how DOES the dish sell value formula work (which had already been discovered by Yunna/Dahlia del Rosa, I just had to re-find it), and here we are...

[native pulsar]

I only garden out of necessity...

[mortal quartz]

Gardening was my highest skill level for a very long time

[teal oyster]

its still my highest one cozy afk game 😄

[mortal quartz]

I started out as a very nervous cook

[teal oyster]

typical water type

[mortal quartz]

I'm not usually a nervous person, but I had some very bad early experiences, lol

[native pulsar]

at the parties?

[mortal quartz]

I need time to absorb information at my own pace, and "here we're cooking go go!" was NOT that

[native pulsar]

oop, yeah, some parties are quite intense

[mortal quartz]

I actually did not participate in any formally-organized cooking parties until I was almost 6 months? a year? in

Chaos cooking is MUCH worse for my brain

(I used to basically do little impromptu parties with friends and random people from the server, but we used to establish who was doing what before anyone even touched a stove)

To some people's frustration :P

[teal oyster]

chaos is the worst cuz then i have to yell at the host what to do

[gloomy hill]

Would anyone like to cook together? Need it for my weeklies plus need to make space for the new update stuff

[teal oyster]

actually I DO wanna do some other weeklys to while we are at it? aside bug catching or fishing

[gloomy hill]

Sure my ign is tonicsovereign

[teal oyster]

added

relogging cuz palia is being palia otherwise i cant see u in friendslist

[mortal quartz]

Could someone who has pumpkins on hand please do me a favor and see if they pop up as an option for the starter ingredients for hearty vegetable soup? (and please be sure to check "use starred" if you only have starred pumpkins)

[teal oyster]

I got tons will do it in 12-18hours remind me then

[snow obsidian]

Is there some kind of glitch? I’ve been looking for batterfly beans for almost an hour and can’t find ANY

[regal vigil]

where have you been looking? iirc they only spawned under the big trees

[snow obsidian]

Mitana grove, honey miel around all the big trees. I’ve watching several videos and I’ve no joke been running around this area for an hour and haven’t found any

[regal vigil]

oh no 🥲 i have a few unstarred seeds in my chest if you can request? or is this your first time looking for the beans ever?

[snow obsidian]

Yeah I just got back into Palia

[regal vigil]

ahh well i hope you have better luck next time! use the "im not looking" strategy lol

[snow obsidian]

Oh wow! I just found one! All I had to do was ask apparently 😂

[regal vigil]

LMAO exactlyyyy

[mortal quartz]

They aren't easy to see (very little glow), so I found it helps a lot to turn foliage all the way down/off so all the bushes and stuff aren't in the way

[snow obsidian]

Oh that’s a great tip! Thanks!

[mortal quartz]

You may need to reduce your view distance to under .70 as well

[dusk wadi]

I wish dari cloves weren’t so darn rare. Loll

[mortal quartz]

You can also purchase them with foraging medals!

[dusk wadi]

I’m saving up for the koi pond. I haven’t gotten it yet. Loll

[sturdy hull]

whats the easiest to cook to go for level 20 cooking?

[uncut lava]

Where do you find the green moss

[mortal quartz]

The VERY easiest way to get to level 20 cooking is to sign up for a cake party. You can find those listed in #1143270926394335282 and on PaliaParty.app (not an app, just a website used to coordinate party signups).

If you prefer to play solo, the easiest/fastest way to earn XP is probably campfire recipes, as the kitchen recipes give XP that scales with their complexity (i.e., time required to cook them). If you set up a circle of 4-5 campfires and rotate around inside the circle, that cuts the average time per dish down to about 5 seconds.

If you want to kill two birds with one stone and solo-cook a bunch of focus food, I recommend steak dinner, though it's even easier/faster/cheaper with two people.

[mortal quartz]

Emerald carpet moss (green uncommon moss) is found around the lake shore/lagoon in Kilima.

Dragon's beard peat (rare teal-green moss) is found on/at the base of sandy cliffs along the Bahari coastline.

[teal oyster]

what focuz party should i go to new elder meals or perhaps an older not cake?

[sturdy hull]

ty for the info ❤️

[teal oyster]

@mortal quartz

[mortal quartz]

Thank you very much! That confirms what I suspected :)

[teal oyster]

yeay pumpkins seem to be very very bad at everything

[mortal quartz]

...interesting that you can use beans for that, if not surprising.

They are really, really, really bad at everything. Too bad they aren't fruit.

[teal oyster]

which is good cuz now i dont have to grow those quality up plants ...

[mortal quartz]

Pumpkin cakes would rock.

[teal oyster]

wait arent pumpkins savoury fruits
so it makes sense u cant use em in sweets

[mortal quartz]

Depends on the culture you come from. In America, they're mostly associated with sweet flavors, and bred for sweetness. In other places, squashes/pumpkins are used in savory dishes more often.

[teal oyster]

😮 thats so interesting where i life they are almost only used as decorations ... im like u got these cool plants that give giant orb shaped food why can twe use that

[mortal quartz]

XD

Ornamental squashes don't taste very good, sadly

[teal oyster]

ren whats more efficient cooking partys for focuz or epic fish dish partys for more and then eating jarred food/buying food from reth?

[mortal quartz]

🤔 Good question

Bought food costs 1g per focus

(pretty much universally, except for the steak dinner, which is more expensive for historical reasons)

Let's compare spicy crab fried rice (SCFR) with tier 2 epic sushi, since they both use rice

They also take approximately the same amount of time per round

SCFR at 66% star rate, assuming 35 seconds per round, produces 2,736 focus per minute

Tier 2 sushi, assuming 95% star rate (which may be a little high), produces 2,419g per round

If you assume 35 seconds per round, then the sushi party produces more focus per time if you use the proceeds to buy focus food.

(Though 35 seconds might be a little fast for sushi.)

Cakes at a moderately efficient party (50 seconds per round, which is not fast for cakes) produce about 3,386 focus per minute

I'm not sure about bean burgers yet, but they are VERY expensive, even if they're fast to execute.

Veggie chili also produces a lot of focus, but dear lord it takes forever

I went to a 100x veggie chili party last night, and the organizer actually called it after 60 rounds because people were bored and starting to have trouble staying on-task

Poke miiiight beat cakes for focus per time?

Depends how long it takes to make, which varies a lot by party tbh.

At 95% star rate (which is on the high end tbh), poke is 2,932g per round. It usually takes less than a minute per round, though, so I'm not sure.

tbh nothing I've seen from any of the new recipes has me jumping up and down in excitement

At least, not by the numbers

[teal oyster]

oh ic so poeple do burger partys for money

[mortal quartz]

Ostensibly

3 vinegar, though...

I did update my Cooking Party Math spreadsheet with the new recipes:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CqV_SHjfqaYcGcfqg4aVp21tYZACUDNMHYkTo9Wyu-8/edit?gid=1661017249#gid=1661017249

[teal oyster]

ok i gues it be more or lress hte same but im wasting a spot for someone else to get money if i were to use epic fish dishes to buy focus

[mortal quartz]

I mean, if you're contributing vinegar, dari, or heat root (which still significantly upgrades the value of your ingredients), then it's not like you're "taking up room" in that case

[teal oyster]

yeay true XD

[mortal quartz]

DS, newest poke party host...? eyebrow waggle

[teal oyster]

i dont got that much playtime though XD

maybe tomorrow i can try one of thos spicy crab partys

[mortal quartz]

They ARE quite fast if nobody double roles and the starter is on top of things

[teal oyster]

ok next on my todo list find out hte irl cooking meta but first learn some of hte mechanics

[mortal quartz]

IRL cooking meta 😂

Let me know what you find... lol

[teal oyster]

well so far i only figured out the ratios of what u need to eat and total amounts but thats only for 1 meal it gets more complicated if u keep the whoel day in mind but yeay i gues im doing rations lol

[fleet imp]

are there other ways of finding new recipes besides getting them from Reth? I am currently lvl 3 cooking, nearly lvl 4, and just have the vegetable soup and ramen as a choise.

[tardy bobcat]

Yep keep progressing friendships and doing quests

[fleet imp]

thanks, will do

[rugged plank]

if you have the keys to the character’s houses you can find some in there… i have most of them just looking in their houses or fishing them

[fleet imp]

oh, that is what Jinas key was about?

good to know, will have to look.

[rugged plank]

when the npc’s give you their keys they give you access to their houses

[sturdy hull]

can i cook recipes with someone that I don't own myself?

Can anyone cook with me "Muujin-Bahari" together? I don't own the recipe yet and want to finish this

[mortal quartz]

Yes, as long as the person who has the recipe starts it.

[copper gust]

asking again in case someone has actually gotten it; has anyone gotten the stared amber or seed yet? or is it confirmed a myth

[tawny heart]

Tree seeds and ambers never had starred versions afaik, it's not just the Elderwood ones. I might be wrong though

[vernal jewel]

Can anyone make cream of mushroom soup

[bronze spruce]

where do i get the recipe for chilli oil dumplings

[twin crane]

anyone have the fish stew recipe? and is that kindly to cook with me?

anyone got fish stew recipe?

[copper gust]

yeah, i am trying to get the achievement but the achievement doesnt list the black pearl as having a stared version - it's only listed in the regular achievement which makes me think the ambers and seeds were purposefully put in the star achievement and aren't a bug but idk. ive chopped so many trees at this point i dont really know

[rugged plank]

i’ve been trying to get that recipe for ages, it’s so difficult to get🥲🥲

[twin crane]

same here

[rugged plank]

i hope you’ll find someone that has it💗

[twin crane]

me too

unihorn and yaws or how its called scares me XD also need all otehr fishes allmost from elderwood

so some fish buffs be nice

[rugged plank]

how so???

[twin crane]

??? i heard they a pain in the ... back to fish

[rugged plank]

ohhhh, yes they are, this is one of the things that kind of puts me off palia, the difficulty of getting certain things

but i’m sure with time we’ll get the hang of it

[twin crane]

or go crazy XD we´ll find out in time XD

[rugged plank]

yes we will😭😭

when did you start playing?

[twin crane]

donno

let me look at my playtime

143.8 hours ago XD

well + - XD

[rugged plank]

how do you like it so far? who’s your Shepp?

[twin crane]

love it

shepp is...

jina

[rugged plank]

nice, mine is Ashura

[uncut lava]

@mortal quartz thank you so much. I'm so glad there are players helping players cuz otherwise I'd need a full guide book lol

[mortal quartz]

I believe it's bought from Reth's cooking guild store, but I don't remember what level it becomes available

[grim wasp]

Anyone up for cooking?

Come to my plot ❤️

[marsh drum]

reth's guild store cooking level 9 :)

[oak yew]

Hi guys! whats the most efficient food for focus to make atm? when I played last i just made chili oil dumplings

[marsh drum]

that depends on a few things! what's your focus level and are you looking to cook solo or in parties

[oak yew]

My focus is maxed out - id prefer something for both if you could! I have a group of friends who just started playing aswell so im making food with them but id be interested in what is best for solo too ^__^ @marsh drum

[marsh drum]

depending on the friend group size you guys could find other focus food parties to join either in #1143270926394335282 or paliaparty.app!

or you can set up your own! if your friends focus levels are a lot lower than yours i think finding a recipe that wont waste a bunch of focus for them would definitely help them out, since ingredients aren't as abundant at lower levels! even if you may need to eat more?

[oak yew]

Okay awesome, thank you ^__^ I didnt know if there was one that was over all more cost efficient for the focus gain, im def used to min max mentality from mmos i gotta learn to just enjoy it for what it is xD

[mortal quartz]

I've got a whole spreadsheet about this if you'd find it interesting :)

[marsh drum]

as for solo i personally like steak dinner or tomato soup! and yeah what Ren said LMAO i was about to link said spreadsheet cause its super helpful

[oak yew]

Yes! Please ^__^

[oak yew]

Thank you both of you ♥♥♥

[mortal quartz]

Win what? Award for least cost-effective food? 😂

[elfin egret]

anyone have the mujin board recipe and wanna make one with me?

[hidden kestrel]

Any idea why standard stove not appearing for me I'm level 4 in cooking

[urban shard]

Is there an updated recipe list of where we can find all recipes in game

[opal marsh]

Would love to join if possible ? It's the last item I need to complete the temple but I'm nowhere near lvl 20 T_T

[twin crane]

@rugged plankyoure online by any chance? its about the cooking together from yesterday 🙂

[kind gulch]

I dont cook much so might be a dumb question but when you hold an item in your inventory, is that the one it will take for a recipe? Reason I ask is for fish foods, Don't want it taking my good fish from inventory

[teal oyster]

it will take rnaodm ones from inventory first cant really contorl it so far and puts inventory stuff ahead of others in selection box

[kind gulch]

What if its in lock box?

[teal oyster]

then u cannot selecxt it adn recipes act like you dont have it
helpful to save ur starred rarer items
or ur starred everything so u can select unstarred if u clicked allow starred

[kind gulch]

Okay perfect I'll just sneak them into there! Thanks!

[kind gulch]

Yeah forsure, I want to use starred mostly anywho but not my good one was the case

Also, is fish tacos best fish food? or something better?

Trying to fet my fishing levels to 50

[teal oyster]

i dont know i dont see poeple eating fish much for focus

[kind gulch]

Oh I thought some of them gave a buff

[teal oyster]

yeay but then u eat them for their buff and the focus they give is a bonus but u can lokup which buff give what ont he wiki i forgot as i only need fishermans brew myself

[kind gulch]

Theres 5 recipes that give buffs. I'm more looking for the buffs over focus

[teal oyster]

thers more food that use fish but they dont give buffs

[teal oyster]

for just hte buff use the cheapest fish u can if ur gonna eat it anyways

[kind gulch]

So i'm assuming all the fish foods for buffs do the exact same thing? Some just more focus?

[teal oyster]

the fish u use only afffects the dishes gold value so ur wasting money by using hte most expensive if ur gonna eat it
the buff and focus is going to be hte exact same regardles of what fish u use

[kind gulch]

Probably jsut stick to using the brew then haha appreciate the advice!

[blissful patio]

A few things;

You can put fish (or general ingredients) in your inventory to make the game prioritize those over the box, no putting stuff in the lockbox needed
Be careful that you need to keep track of how many you have in your inventory, cause after depleting those it'll happily pull from storage
You can even have multiple sorts in your inventory, however the order should go from lowest to highest, if I remember correctly
That means that fish worth 50g would be pulled first, before fish worth 100g are pulled. It should only become somewhat random if you have tons of the same exact fish, then it seemingly pulls from random slots

And like DuhScape said, if you put your starred stuff in the box, you can start starred recipes and force the game to use non-starred ingredients, but that needs you to clear all the ingredient out of the storage (which can be annoying with fish)

[kind gulch]

Aah awesome, that's super good info! Really appreciate you letting me know!

[blissful patio]

Since I'm sensing a bit of ambiguity here, all the dishes have distinct buffs

The brew increases the size of your fishing safe zone (bracket kinda thing)
Sashimi makes your rod health recover more quickly, which is really useful to recover from the fish escaping the safe zone for a bit

Since those two are the cheapest (and best) boosts, they're the ones mostly used

Rod health (static) gives you more of a pillow, but once again recovery rate is more useful

Safe zone speed only messes with your muscle memory imo, so I'd stay away from that anyway

Hook time you get from fishing near other people

[mortal quartz]

This one SHOULD be up to date now, but maybe cross-check it with the patch notes to be sure one isn't missing
https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Dishes

[rocky hemlock]

What is the easiest way to level cooking? It seems like I'm not getting experience with recipes, do they have to be new each time?

[teal oyster]

Now having contributed to dish recipe/doing minigame lands u full xp

[rocky hemlock]

Oh, so I just need to find a group to cook with?

[teal oyster]

One good cake part lv 10 instant xd

[rocky hemlock]

Oh good to know! I'll keep an eye out for anyone doing a cake party!

What ingredients are needed? I don't think I have the recipe, but I can collect stuff so I can contribute!

[kind gulch]

Sorry I had some running around to do but this is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate this so much! Helps a ton

I guess one other question I have for anyone who knows. Does fishing in parties give any buffs? I'm mostly just trying to fast track level 26>50

[worthy lichen]

you get a buff from fishing near others, i don’t recall if it’s an xp buff. try the wiki?

[worthy lichen]

!cakeparty

[covert pivot]

How to join a Cake Party: You can check available parties being made here: https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1143270926394335282 .
Guidelines for joining a party:

• Double check all info within the post's Title and Description, provided by the Original Poster/Party Owner.
• Make sure you have enough ingredients for the amount of cakes specified in the post, as well as enough time to complete them (some cake parties can be quite time consuming).
• If a link is provided for the Party App as a signup, make sure you select the correct cooking station (which shows how much of every ingredient is required) and that your name is the same as in-game (this is for getting invited by the Party Owner).
• If you've already signed up, but can't make it in time for the specified start time (it is better to be ready a bit early, to avoid delays), or don't have enough ingredients, it's best to let everyone know you're withdrawing. (while, using the app, you can click the Withdraw button).

For more information, check out the Guide to Cake Parties.

[teal oyster]

having someone in same party as you next to you gives u the 20% chance of double loot
having someone caught a fish next to u gives a buff that can go up to 5x to hook fish faster

[kind gulch]

Oh sweet definitely benefitial!

Damn, After playing for 1.5 years I finally got the sushi recipe ahaha

omg and it requires dari cloves... I DELETED 26 of them last week, fail

[teal oyster]

poeple who cook alot have a chronic shortage of darivcloves definitly do not delete those 😮

[kind gulch]

Oh it wasnt on purpose, I was making room for elderwood stuff in my storage and thought they were a placeable flower

[teal oyster]

wel i mean if ur not doign bring daricloves to cooking partys anywyas its not a problem but they are in limited supply

[kind gulch]

Yeah forsure, it was a big mistake. Those 24 were all the dari's i'd collected since starting. So yeah makes sense how limited they are haha

[runic lagoon]

How do you get flow-infused wood again?

[teal oyster]

Chop a flow infused tree

[pliant mesa]

alright, official favorite food for self-cooked focus food: Fruit Smoothie Bowl.

One chop, one rolling pin, one mix, done for 325 focus unstarred. Not the highest amount, but the effort put in for focus gained is fantastic, especially if you use star ingredients...

[runic lagoon]

where can I find one? I thought they were the trees in elderwood that are infected, but I guess not

[old shell]

bahari, if you take the thing that finds rare foraging they're really easy to find, sometimes they're in kilima too

[runic lagoon]

oh I know what trees now. I just could not think of what they looked like for a minute

[teal oyster]

Kilima to

[teal oyster]

It is expensive coinwise though

[pliant mesa]

ah, maybe - its all self grown stuff other'n the milk for me so saving the effort is the priority more'n anything

no more million chops for me

[gloomy hill]

Anyone wanna cook together?

[teal oyster]

I feel ya

[pliant mesa]

sure i can cook with ya, whatcha cooking

[gloomy hill]

Uh idk tbh , I kinda wanna get rid of some ingredients so I can make space for elderwoods stuff

[pliant mesa]

lmao well, from my perspective all focus food that i dont have to do all the minigames for is good food so

add me in game - Sylvaea Atros. You cook whatever to get rid of ingredients and ill help out cooking with whatever random steps for a bit

though you do realize if i help cooking, the steps i do use my own mats so you... won't be getting rid of those ingredients 😂

[gloomy hill]

Yes that’s fine, let me hop on

[stuck folio]

Is anyone else having a glitch when making sushi? I just restarted the game, but I'm weary about testing it again and wasting even more ingredients 😂

[runic lagoon]

where is the other recipe scrap for Palian Onion Soup? just a hint please

[marsh drum]

The locations of all the recipes are on the wiki! https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Palian_Onion_Soup

[mortal quartz]

What glitch were you running into?

[twin crane]

any here got the fish stew recipe and be able to cook some with me?

[stuck folio]

When going to chop (don't remember whether it was fish or spices) it would exit the station when I press the button to chop. Then my bow would be drawn and shooting until I use the unstuck button. I tried having a different tool open when accessing the chopping station, but it would still close it out and open my bow when I'd go to chop. Then I'd have to unstuck again. It happened twice in a row with that recipe. It didn't happen with other recipes I tried.

[twin crane]

sounds like a realy funky bug

[meager coral]

Can anyone help with making muujin bahari pls 🙏🏽

[mortal quartz]

Ah, yep, that's a glitch that can happen if you accidentally press the button to pull out your tool (R by default on PC) and the button to interact with the station (F) at the same time. It's unfortunately easy to d by accident since they're right next to each other (and can happen on controller/switch, too, with those buttons)

The only way to fix it is either to change servers (which will fail the recipe) or relog

I don't think it's specific to sushi, as it can happen with anything

Unless it was reproducible with sushi?

[stuck folio]

It happened twice in a row with sushi. I've since closed and reloaded it. I'll go back in and try it once more, see if it's still happening. I thought it was my controller going dead at first (switch controller on PC). But it happened when using the keyboard too.

Appreciate all the info!

[mortal quartz]

If you'll add me (Eliot Reinald) I'll be happy to send you some dari cloves to replace the lost ones

(to help defray the testing costs)

[winter cosmos]

Can someone tell me how to get ⭐️ floatfish mushrooms 🍄? I got 4 so far and can’t remember how I did it lol I need 15 of those

[stuck folio]

No worries about that, I can always find more! I just tested sushi twice more. Was successful making both. So resetting definitely helped! Have tried a few other recipes and haven't been able to replicate it.

[stuck folio]

They're on the huge trees! You can find some in the deep woods!

[gloomy hill]

In what area is the flo potato thing?

[pliant mesa]

so if im making say, star sushi - does fish quality matter? Like there's star fish, but there's uncommon star fish vs common star fish - any ol' star fish'll do if i wanna star my sushi?

[worthy lichen]

the fish needs to be star quality to start the recipe i believe. which fish you use i think only affects how much the dish costs if you plan to sell it, not the buffs themselves.

[pliant mesa]

perfect, thank you!

[teal oyster]

u can use any chances of starred sushi are just alot higher if u use starred fish
if ur gonna eat it for hte buff use ur cheapest fish if ur gonna make it for profit ina party the most expensive u can do without

[mild laurel]

Has anyone found star Ancient Wood seeds or star Ancient Amber?

[merry glade]

I haven’t seen anyone with proof of getting them, so i’m pretty convinced they’re either not supposed to be a part of the achievement or they aren’t dropping like they should be

[mild laurel]

Haha ok thank you, I've been going crazy cutting trees and not seeing any

[severe moss]

is there anyone who's willing to have a tiny cooking party? c: i need the muujin bahari bread if anyone is willing!

[regal vigil]

hello does anyone know what items are tracked by the dowsing rod in elderwood?

[devout pond]

looking for 3 people to do sweet leaf for a 200x cake party if anyone is available :)

[worthy lichen]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1267651728229007390 https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1143270926394335282

200 cakes is a lot!

[gloomy hill]

Are flowtatoes only in the deep woods?

[gloomy hill]

Still neeed?

[tawdry basin]

lf people to party up /w to cut down flow trees! :3

[severe moss]

i'm late but yesyes! only if you don't mind c:

[gloomy hill]

Im down

Add me tonicsovereign

[mortal quartz]

Dowsing rods track rare and epic forageables, so my guess for this is:

• flowtato (rare)
• elderwood lotus (rare)
• elderflower (epic)

Edit: seeing reports that flowtato does not correctly show up on a dowsing rod, but haven't tested myself.

[regal vigil]

yep can confirm it's all these + some infected essences (the ones i got gave 6 or 7 each)

[mortal quartz]

Huh!

[mortal quartz]

uhhhhhhh WHY are these 115g each?

per the usual formula they should be 52g each

(the ingredients are honey, muujin meat, spicy pepper, and spice sprouts)

[marsh drum]

cause eshe said so

[mortal quartz]

Apparently! lmao

Unfortunately, this makes it impractical as focus food, because it turns out more expensive (focus per gold eaten) even than cakes 😬
And it's slow, 40-45s per round even with a full party (because of having 4 irreducible step layers, same as cakes)

That said, check that star rate, wtf

[marsh drum]

(i was able to update the wiki with the current sq value so thank u)

i wonder if theyre gonna adjust it

[mortal quartz]

The unstarred sell value is most likely 77g, because that's the only whole number where +50% rounds down to 115.

[marsh drum]

it is 77 according to the wiki ! i haven't had the chance to cook anything yet

[mortal quartz]

31 rounds, ridiculous

That said, if you don't care about eating your gold, it's probably one of the more practical 412 foods for 2 people. And it's semi-profitable even solo, I think; more than cooking solo usually is, anyway, especially if the star rate holds up. (Keep in mind that nobody who was cooking it with me just now was below about 200 cooking level...)

Cream of tomato soup is probably better for 2 people, although it requires 3 produce items.

[marsh drum]

sometimes i just cook for vibes and so this may end up in the rotation

[mortal quartz]

Hm, if you split cabbage rolls in two... it's 5 prep steps, mix. So that's, yeah, 4 step layers if you only have 2 people. Plus somewhat more gold-intensive ingredients, considering the cabbage. More flexibility, though, considering mushrooms and meat can be anything (including crab) without affecting stacking.

Yeah, it's a good vibes dish. I just wish I could eat it without feeling like I'm putting gold leaf on my food 😂

[marsh drum]

not the gold leaf LMFAO

[mortal quartz]

Very straightforward to make.

seriously I think Eshe snuck some truffle shavings into the honey glaze...

But this also means I need to double-check ALL the recipes for gold value anomalies 😩

ಠ_ಠ candied kopaa nuts are 24g unstarred

[marsh drum]

why do you need milk for these

[mortal quartz]

per formula, should be 33g

[marsh drum]

the wiki says otherwise apparently

[marsh drum]

im still bothered by this WHY MILK? are we making caramel???

[mortal quartz]

XD

[marsh drum]

lore wise im upset

[mortal quartz]

It really should be butter... if they're toffee?

[marsh drum]

RIGHT??

[mortal quartz]

Maybe the milk is to stick the rest to the nuts?

[idle blade]

Anyone available to help me lvl my cooking it's only lvl 7

[marsh drum]

BUT WE'RE USING HONEY

[mortal quartz]

but honey... yeah.

[marsh drum]

HE DOESNT EVEN MENTION IT IN THE RECIPE BOOK

[gloomy hill]

I can

[mortal quartz]

Best advice I have if you wanna level cooking fast is to join a cake party :) Check #1143270926394335282 and paliaparty.app - if you're new to parties, I recommend the sweet leaf role because it's very straightforward

[idle blade]

@gloomy hill appreciate you

[mortal quartz]

At first I was like "okay what if the milk is not supposed to be in there" but that would still make them 27g apiece, not 23?

but leaving out either the kopaa nuts or the honey WOULD get you to 24g...

hm.

Ah. Pumpkin curry and rice comes in under what the formula predicts, too...

no, wait, way OVER

?_?

[marsh drum]

did they change the formula for the elderwoods..?

[mortal quartz]

Maybe, but also, the gold values are ultimately manually entered into a table.

[marsh drum]

what does the formula predict and what is it actually?

[mortal quartz]

I'll need to test to re-verify the wiki number (179g), but per the usual formula, it should be 97g.

yeah.

[marsh drum]

what is up with these recipes LMAO

[mortal quartz]

Hm. That is. Actually lower than predicted, for star quality.

(expected value is 145)

...and that's what you get if you completely omit the pumpkin and kopaa nuts.

did they do the LNY thing AGAIN?

[marsh drum]

What is/was the LNY thing?

[mortal quartz]

The ingredients they added with the Luna New Year update (cabbage, bok choy, green onion, and ginger) have their values omitted from the sell value calculations of dishes, INCLUDING if you use any of them as the "chopped vegetable" variable

(cabbage rolls don't omit the cabbage, but they're broken in a unique way lol)

[marsh drum]

it seems like something similar happened at the very least

also the wiki is just completely wrong currently /LH

[mortal quartz]

...yes. Chili oil dumplings made with pumpkins? 100% omit the value of the pumpkin. facedesk

😭

[marsh drum]

not sure how i feel about the idea of cooked pumpkin being in chili oil dumplings in general

since its omitted from the value, can we also omit the use of them in that dish

[mortal quartz]

It does seem to only apply to items that use Chopped Pumpkin maybe

Because Hearty Veg. Soup with pumpkin, spice sprouts, and staircase mushroom is the predicted value.

geez

god only knows what's happening with that honey baked muujin, though

[marsh drum]

omg the smoothie bowl selling for so little in comparison to the ingredients ouch

[mortal quartz]

Yep.

How much does it turn out to be?

[marsh drum]

i'll make it once and hopefully get star quality and never again and if the wiki is correct, non sq sells for 132

[muted quail]

hello is there where i ask if someone can come to my plot and help me cook for the bundles?

[mortal quartz]

That sounds high

On the upside(???), pumpkin curry beats EVERY single other recipe for focus per gold eaten, clocking at over 10

[marsh drum]

i actually can make that one i have the ingredients imma check

[mortal quartz]

142 starred (as predicted)

which would put it at 95 unstarred

Where is the wiki getting these numbers?

[muted quail]

I need to cook

• Muujin Bahari
• Apple Pie
• Blueberry Pie
• Trout Dinner (Starred)
  I can get all of the ingredients if anyone wouldn't mind coming to my plot (or you can host if you like) and helping me cook them

[mortal quartz]

Oh. They're pulling it from the tooltip on the recipe, which is almost never right...

[marsh drum]

im not sure im gonna update them as i find out what they really are

[mortal quartz]

Well... it's pretty!

[marsh drum]

i would like to know what the little seeds are!!

i need them to better their descriptions my food lore doc is LACKING

[mortal quartz]

There's already strawberries on there :P The seeds sorta look like rice o_O which makes no sense. The green ones are pumpkin seeds, though.

[marsh drum]

im curious if the big fruit is the piksii berry?

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, it is, it looks like that when you roll it

[marsh drum]

[marsh drum]

hey i got star quality

[mortal quartz]

3 apples, 142g each dish starred... you LOSE money compared to jamming the apples, oh my lord (to say nothing of the blueberries)

[marsh drum]

its so bad

[mortal quartz]

At least with apple pie parties (also 3 apples per round for the apple person) you more or less end up even with jamming them, and it rips through your apple backlog very fast XD

[marsh drum]

i may have to try to get non-sq on my alt booo

[mortal quartz]

95g for normal quality

[marsh drum]

thank uuu

why does the baked flowtato look like that

[mortal quartz]

XD

I think they are basically like purple sweet potatoes...

not potato-potatoes

[marsh drum]

they did NOT need to keep the roots on there

[mortal quartz]

lmaooo

Fitting, for a recipe you find ||in Elouisa's room|| 😂

[marsh drum]

yknow you right LMAO

[lyric torrent]

does anyone have a list of how much focus does every elderwood recipe provide starred/non starred?

[marsh drum]

<@&1216796663071637585>

[graceful zephyr]

Thanks!!

[marsh drum]

It's in a couple other channels as well incase you didn't see yet

[graceful zephyr]

ty!

[mortal quartz]

The wiki has this info on the Dishes page iirc

[serene night]

Is there a list for how to obtain all Elderchef recipes?

[urban bridge]

The new recipes locations are listed in the latest blog post
https://palia.com/news/patch-191

[serene night]

Ohhh tysm I totally forgot about that

[lyric torrent]

oh ty so much i was always looking at each individual recipe on wiki and could never find this info 😅 is the focus increase for the starred version always the same percentage?

[mortal quartz]

Yep! +50 percent, rounded down

[lyric torrent]

tysm 🙏🏼

[tawdry laurel]

Does anyone else have a hard time finding coral or is this a me issue ??

[teal oyster]

theres not that much of it and tis only at beach in bahary bay where u tend to not have anything to do so u never walk past it either unles on purpose

[mortal quartz]

It shares spawn points with shells, so try picking those up too :)

[teal oyster]

oh so thats why cuz of course noone bothers to pick that up

[mortal quartz]

It can spawn anywhere along the beach, too, not just Coral Shores XD that confused me when I was new

[teal oyster]

suhca a misleading name its not a ashore made of coral

[teal oyster]

not in flooded fortress though

[urban tide]

does anyone have like 10wheat and wouldnt mind helping me make some food?

[rigid girder]

hi ! Im looking for ppl in order to cook, wanna cook? 🙂

[urban tide]

yeah id love to but I might not have what you need

[rigid girder]

just help me to stir, etc 😄 Add me and come to my plot : Raven Forbes 🙂

[fickle trail]

oh, starred canned beans is 285 focus and just around 30 min production time 🙂

[high nexus]

I've seen a plot called Cooking School. Is that a thing or just the theme of the house? Sadly I didn't note the name of the player.

[mortal quartz]

I keep forgetting to do the math on this, thanks for reminder

[random bone]

%}>#!! I HATE it when collectibles are stuck behind invisible walls

[severe moss]

is there anyone who's willing to have a tiny cooking party? c: i need the muujin bahari bread if anyone is willing!

[peak trench]

How many thousands of oysters do I need to open to find Einar's last lost pebble?!?!?!?

[mortal quartz]

About 2 thousand

(I am not joking: it is a .001 chance, and only ~60 percent of people will get it within 1000 attempts. 2000 attempts gets you to ~86 percent chance of success, so expect 2,000)

My strategy was to pick up a stack or two of oysters every day when I went to get the Bahari rummage pile

[peak trench]

Oh my lord, I didn't know what the percent chance was, but that explains a lot. Thank you.

That's exactly what I was doing

[mortal quartz]

On the upside, oyster meat is excellent glow worm food!

[potent onyx]

Oh is it different than any other thing like sweet leaf or something?

[gloomy hill]

Anyone wanna cook different recipes with me and a friend?

[mortal quartz]

Sweet leaf produces QualityUp since all sweet things do. Oyster meat starts out worth 11g each, but produces 1 glow worm (25g) and 3 HarvestBoost fertilizer (5g each), for a total of 40g output. So it gains 29g of value if processed into glow worms and fertilizer, and that's only if you sell them both. If you use the glow worms and fertilizer (if your garden layout needs it), obviously they're worth more than that.

All of the low-value, savory meats and forageables worth 25g or under gain at least 20g in value in a glow worm farm. Staircase mushrooms (9g sell value) also produce 1 glow worm and 3 fertilizer, so they gain 31g in value, more than triple!

However, they might be better sold as muskin, depending; I need to do some math on that.

Hm... muskin is 18g, takes 5 minutes to process. Assuming staircase mushrooms, that's +9g per mushroom. Much higher gold per crafter slot hour, but much lower yield per mushroom, of course. I'd recommend it ONLY if you have so much excess meat and forageables that you couldn't possibly process them all into glow worms.

(i.e., storage issues)

[cunning dragon]

is anyone around to make 1 muujin bahari with me 👀
i have all the ingredients, just not the recipe. i want to finish my bundles

[potent onyx]

Wow thank you that's good info

[rigid girder]

Hello,
Does anyone want to cook with me ?

[next viper]

99.9% chance of not getting the pebble wooooo

[teal oyster]

i got my pebble on my 3rd tutorial oyster where they introduce grilling oysters ....
but if anyone needs more unopened oysters u can requets up to 4 a day which aint much but 4 extra chacnes per day and lots of poeple have to many oysters (me included)

[trim crane]

I'm deeply curious because I swore I saw something on someone else's playthrough video.

Is there a real black pearl? If it does, is it rng from opening those clam shroom thing?

[teal oyster]

Yeay u dont got one yet?

[trim crane]

Nopeee. But it's good to know it's actually real after all haha

[teal oyster]

im not sure i fhte starred v ersion is real though onlyk got one regular

[mortal quartz]

Fortunately, it's not a starred black pearl that the accomplishment requires. Just the starred amber and starred tree seed... which I think don't exist.

[teal oyster]

is only one way to find out if it exists makes someone else grind for it if noone gets it within a month its non existent

[hard warren]

I reaaaally suck at cooking, how to i get starred food? Trying to get the avhivement lol

[mortal quartz]

A big chunk of it is RNG. You can improve your chances by:

• using more starred ingredients
• completing the dish faster
• possibly by having a higher cooking level

One of the best ways to accomplish the second one (and make the first less costly) is to team up with others to cook the dish :)

[hard warren]

Thank you! I think I'll just wait and find someone to cook with, this is so stressful 😭

[teal oyster]

it deos getr wwaayyy easier if u get used to it abit more considering u never gotten anything starred yet i doubt u tried much but yeay cooking with others is muhc easier XD

[hard warren]

I've been cooking quite a lot, and got some starred foods, just didn't understand why it was sometimes starred... been playing for a year, so yeah i've tried a lot

[teal oyster]

oh ic yeay it was non intuitive at first idk why but allmost all my food is starred for some reason

[daring ermine]

Anyone know how much it be when cooking maws into fish stew sushi etc?

[mortal quartz]

Sennel Deuragonov made this awesome chart of fish dish prices, including elderwood fish:

[teal oyster]

dang maws ur slaying it
maws partys confirmed 1million gold per hour for sure

[mortal quartz]

lol not counting the hour of fishing per fish

[teal oyster]

I mean its that money for the rice or garlic overprep poeple supplying fish have to deduct loss of fish

[mortal quartz]

Yep, I'm just saying that "gold per hour" isn't necessarily an applicable metric if a group can only float a maws party every few weeks

Even splitting the fish among multiple contributors

[wooden valley]

ancient fish parties then?

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, that was the previous "meta" (ancient, goldfish, unicorn, and now mermaid is in there too)

[wooden valley]

if you fish in the temple of waves, do you ONLY catch ancient fish?

[mortal quartz]

What I expect to happen is that parties will end up being mostly tier 1 epics with some "bonus" Maws rounds.

[mortal quartz]

No, it's cave fish + the ancient fish, and there are no starred nodes in there, either

[wooden valley]

ahhh

so lake fishing for the stars is probably the way to go

[mortal quartz]

If you can pull in ancient fish without needing a bunch of fishing buffs, yeah

I personally prefer ponds, because goldfish are available at any time of day and fairly easy to reel in. Cloudfish (rare) are also pretty good for sashimi and so on (morning/day). But at the lake there's a chance of getting giant kilima stingrays as well, so.

I don't like to fight for my fish XD

[wooden valley]

who does tbh

[mortal quartz]

(The nodes can be reset so you can fish from them again until they time out - you either run 150m away and come back, or go into a villager's room or other instanced area)

lol I have a friend who LOVES catching ancient fish XD I think he likes the challenge

[wooden valley]

i like to use the mirror pond mini-ruin-station-place

[mortal quartz]

Yeah, same

I hop into Hekla's tent or the ancient library, whichever is closer

[teal oyster]

Pro fishers fish so different …

[maiden void]

can someone explain this to me? i dont know what to do

[marsh drum]

this is easiest to do in Kilima, and you're going to want to head to Maji's Hollow or Whispering Banks and then collect three mushrooms :)

[teal oyster]

why are there never focus food partys when i can play

[hidden tartan]

Looking for tips on how to get dragons beard moss best please

[polar creek]

At bahari coast with a dowsing rod

[thorny crane]

what's the best focus food to make and eat? not sure with the new recipes if there's anything good... i only cook on my own if that's a factor

[marsh drum]

this depends on your focus level, but steak dinner is definitely one of the best :)

[thorny crane]

oh im at 1000

[junior trench]

I didn't realize until I started playing with headphones on that forageable plants make noise. It's like Skyrim all over again.

[teal oyster]

this cant possibly be real

[next viper]

@small wing that ur party? jk cuz of the 30 maws uve already caught

[next viper]

i like veggie chili to cook by myself, 1000 starred and not that annoying to do alone

[marsh drum]

that uses a LOT of crops which is quite expensive so i definitely wouldnt recommend that if youre cooking solo!

[teal oyster]

ok apparently this is real

[next viper]

true depends on their gardening habits. i perpetually have a lot of everything so it doesnt bother me and uses way less steps than other 1000 focus recipes

[runic lagoon]

what do you need to make flour?

[coral coyote]

You sadly dont make it you buy it from Zeki. I would like if they allow us to make some of the ingredients when the husbandry stuff comes.

[next viper]

especially since we have wheat, rice, corn, potato... wheres our windmill

[coral coyote]

ik right?

I just really hope they allow us to make and get from the animals Flour, butter, milk, eggs etc

[runic lagoon]

I really wish watering plants gave you exp

[terse plume]

i need kimchi for one of my recipes. how do i get it?

[worthy lichen]

kimchi is made in the preserves jar (i think using bok choy)

[terse plume]

ohhh. thanks so much 🙂
