[obtuse frost]

Also have y'all notice that the boovar sometimes sounds like pekis when you pet them? That's a funny bug

[marsh depot]

Yeahhhh I mostly stopped sending them tbh cause it doesn't really feel like it matters. I get that not everything gets implemented fast but just from experiences in here, no guarantee they're read.

[marsh depot]

I didn't know this, that's funny

I really haven't done ranching in a while it just saddens me looking at my venerated animals

[heavy cedar]

yeah i think letting venerated animals breed x amount of times and/or making like 10 of them not cout to the limit would help

[marsh depot]

Having them not count towards the limit would help a lot though i imagine it could be a strain on performance? Idk, but yeah it'd be neat cause they just... Exist

[warm zephyr]

I know i'm probably so late to the party on this question but -- when we reach certain snowman goals, do we know if we only get that tier? Or if we reach 3m does that mean we get all the sizes of snowman?
Just asking 'cause I really want, like, a medium one and I hope we're not stuck with only giga or something haha

[jolly marsh]

We will get all of the rewards from each goal

[warm zephyr]

Oh okay great, awesome! Thanks ❤️

[marsh depot]

Rip Pekina Carpenter and Pekard Way, you will be missed but not forgotten

[young plank]

I feel like they pushed ranching so they could make a buck off of it irl money wise.

[lyric night]

of course
but also to fullfil players request for animal husbandry
it's a win win situation

same thing will happen with mounts for sure (well makes sense), players keep requesting mounts for whatever reason

I don't engage with animal husbandry bcs I don't care for animal keeping in any game but it's a great way for passive ressource generation

[pallid ferry]

I feel like they could’ve at least taken the backpack off of the model to differentiate it as a ranching animal. It does feel lazy. Also idk what else there is for it to deliver? More fish? Sweet leaf? At this point they need to stop adding more creatures that automate the whole gathering process and work on refineries. Wheat milk for flour. Oil press for mushrooms into oil.

[lyric night]

could be fruits and veggies stolen from badruu would make sense and would perfectly fit with the pets trick animation
would also give the backpack a reason to exist on the ranch version

[nova solar]

i feel like they added these creatures and automate the whole gathering process is so for those who dont want to do hunting and fishing can just rely on them especially if they have issues aiming/tracking but like why not just improve those minigames instead of adding more animals as you said

[vagrant star]

Or add more animals but have several animals producing the same items (e.g. boovars giving fishes and, idk, flutterfoxes giving fishes as well).

[marsh depot]

I mean if they'd at least increase the animal limit or changed the way the venerated animals work, sure.

[pallid ferry]

Yeah ranching needs to be cleaned up, instead of just throwing more animals at it. I’m glad they’re finally giving us separate cookie storage, but without an easier way to get the divine cookies to make my venerated animals young again, I’ve no interest in the skill anymore really. Them aging when I’m offline doesn’t sit well with me at all, and makes grinding for the perfect set of traits a waste of my time.

[marsh depot]

Same. Ranching was fun for all of 2 weeks, then it just died for me.

[fiery perch]

Ranching was unfortunately a disappointment for me. I was one of the players that was really wanting it, and hoping for it to exist. But not in the way they had it implemented.

Not only did the gameplay for them sadden me-- which is a shame, cuz I'm an idle/clicker game enjoyer-- it felt more idle than I would of liked. I would of liked more 'control' in some aspect when ti came to the traits that animals have and when breeding them over. (I know, that'd be more work but it's still something I was hoping for). I know the treats helped, but it would of been nice if those could of been used to 'choose' in a sense.

Not only that, I was also saddened to see that I don't really make any gold profit through it. Yeah, I get it, "sell the eggs/milk/etc", but... I mean like, selling the pets themselves? I Expected to make some profit or some gold when selling adult animals, and the longer they were alive, and maybe depending on the traits they have, they would give more profit?

And yeah, I get that it might of been to help automate the gathering process, and that's fine, but I think they could of done it completely different and in different ways. And doesn't the boovar/ugly bear one just give kilima fish? (genuine question) bc if so, then that still doesn't help the problem at all.

Not to mention, having to decide how many of each animal to have, since there's a limit overall. Which makes it more and more difficult to figure out when theyre adding more animals to ranching.

I remember telling folks here and stuff, I'd gladly play Palia and just live on my ranch, if I could actually make more of a profit. I struggle with skills, and again, I'm a huge idle game and clicker game enjoyer. I love having them up on the side, going to it every once in a while, etc...

And husbandry? Gosh, yes please. I love making new creatures & finding new traits. And I just would of loved being able to go through that, and actually make money back when animals got full grown, or even a bit through it depending on the traits they have.

[marsh depot]

Ranching is often a very idle activity in most games of this category (like, Stardews) but the problem with the ranching in Palia, at least in my opinion, is that it just doesn't add anything new to the skill. It's just another "idle" ranching mechanic.

I'm not saying they needed to make something revolutionary, but a lot of it feels very derivative while also not entirely working like in the context of the game or many mechanics feeling half thought out.

Specially with the animals aging while you're offline, and then them reaching a stage where they're simply not useful anymore.

[fiery perch]

Also, I remember being confused and thinking I could sell them for profit because of this trait:

"Show off - Moderately/Greatly/Massively increased donation value."

[marsh depot]

It get it's to "force" replayability but it's also why it doesn't quite work, because you pretty much either have to start from zero or simply ditch the skill altogether.

[fiery perch]

It also just felt slow to lvl up the skill, for me anyways. Maybe bc some of the animals with traits I liked I didnt immediately sell, but I also didnt buy a lot of animals from the shop bc... well, I was trying to make a profit. Not... put tons of money into a skill to lvl up. So a lot of those I was making babies from.

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I was constantly purchasing and donating pekis to level up fast and I really doubt I broke even. The amount of eggs really riles up depending on the traits and stuff but I definitely didn't make over the amount that one peki cost me.

And I know what I did isn't the most cost effective strat but, it was the fastest way to level.

Specially when the animal limit increase is tied to leveling, it makes you want to level faster.

[pallid ferry]

There’s a CHANCE they slip changes in this patch, but I’m not holding up much hope.
The changes I would need would be to made to start visiting my barn again would be:
🫎 Like gardening, animals no longer age while the player is offline. The player will need to be online for X hours for an animal to reach its birthday.
🫎 Divine cookies to reset venerated animals to babies can now be brought with ranching coins.
🫎 To offset the divine cookies and encourage more active continued breeding, animals will lose on random trait upon becoming venerated. If players want to keep an exact line, they’ll need to actively breed.
🫎 Increase the amount of coin gained from selling adult animals.
🫎 Introduce processors- milk into butter, mushrooms into oil- to further encourage players to use animals to create their own cooking ingredients.

[marsh depot]

Only reason I've visited my barn in recent times was for non related ranching reasons

[pallid ferry]

Oh and
🫎 Ranching trophies added to game. Players can now show off their progress!

[exotic abyss]

YES PLEASE
I vote for all of this (plus the trophies like you added later)

Its really overwhelming to go to my ranch and see all the birthday icons after i havent been online for a few days
Like yesterday i literally went to my ranch like "ah, a nice, relaxing check on the animals-" and then i saw all the birthday icons "nope nope, not dealing with that rn"

It helps a little bit that i dont usually care for traits or breeding (although i do like having lineages with specific cosmetic traits, and its sad when those lines die off because i cant get them to give me a baby with the same cosmetic trait)
I only have like 2-4 of each animal at a time usually but
How many are there now??
The cap is 30
Theres peki, truffl...pigs, ormuu, bees, goobs, and now boovar and ferris? Thats 7
2-4 of 7 kinds of animal is already 14-28
Which is basically the cap already
And id rather not have to cull just to pick and choose which animals i want to have, so i hope they do raise the limit at some point...

[marsh depot]

Guess we'll have to wait and see until the patch or the patch notes are released but, I'm not holding my breath

[warm python]

So uhhhh I take it the server merge experiment did not work again?

[exotic abyss]

Seems like it, yeah

[analog nest]

Sooo, how long does it take for my Trufflets to grow to adolescent?

Like i bought them early in the morning yesterday, gave them an accelerated age cookie and now we're an whole day further

[fiery perch]

Mhmm, I saw some ppl mention it kicked them during parties still. And sadly it still has the same keybind to "move" while picking up lootbags

[warm python]

[analog nest]

[little robin]

The ranching channel has several folks who are very well versed in this stuff and the use of the cookies/etc, they can probably troubleshoot your issue with you and figure out what's happening.

[nova solar]

lowkey worried that the server merge feature will become a cycle of "its in the game, lets see how it works" and "we removed it because everyone and their mothers are rightfully complaing how disruptive it is"

[lyric night]

will probably be more like: they turn it on and off again the next few weeks for a day to gather data over night to tune the feature
then expand it from over night to a few more days etc.
until they eventually keep it active all the time

at least I wouldn’t be surprised if that'd happen

[pallid ferry]

Yeah I bred mainly for cosmetic traits b/c tbh i didnt care a lot about the items and just wanted cute chickens, but the traits passing down didn't feel consistent enough for me.

[exotic abyss]

Yeah no the traits passing down feels very inconsistent
It seems to me like the cosmetic ones should pretty much always "overwrite" the non-cosmetic trait coats? If that makes sense?

[analog nest]

Thanks

But where do i find that channel loll

[analog nest]

Yeah that makes sense cuz it in some sense it's like skin color, and some pigments are more dominant then the other one, Or they just mix.

Just imagine an truffel with an mix of Amethyst fluff and sun-bleached fluff lol

[heavy cedar]

#🐔│ranching

[analog nest]

Thanks!

[marsh depot]

Beta testing in a nutshell, no? We're the QA testers atp

[marsh depot]

Were the changes in the room with us /j

Cause from what I read it just seemed to be a repeat from last time, keybind being the same as loot button, people getting split, etc

#💬│palia-general message there's also this, which I'm not sure if it's new but I lowkey hate it

[old dirge]

That client side message came with the patch, so not part of whatever server side changes they made

[pallid ferry]

IMO if a server is "old" it should just stop allowing ppl to join it, even by friend invite. It may take a bit, but eventually everyone will clear out.

[old dirge]

I'd guess that they refined what makes a server too old or too idle, but if its still impacting large groups or active items then no one noticed any changes

[verbal inlet]

Does anyone know if the Lunar Path will go away in the new update? There are a few items like the Estate roof I haven't unlocked yet. Wondering if there will be a chance to get them again or maybe purchase at City Hall?

[marsh depot]

It won't, they're permanent.

[verbal inlet]

oh great! thank you

[fiery perch]

I wouldn't mind if it worked how it does rn, (if im understand correctly), but if it's going by the age of the server-

What would be nice, is showing a timer of how long until it expires or something. That way, cooking parties, bug parties etc, can plan accordingly when they get on said server, and know if they have to swap.

Or just.. ppl in general, will know they have to swap soon anyways and start planning for that too.

[tropic parcel]

Question - I've been off the game for a long time, just came back. What happened to cake parties?

[nova solar]

i mean, theyre still a thing, though nowadays, people do fish dish parties for profit, cake parties are still a thing for focus food and decent money making

[tropic parcel]

How do people organize them nowadays?

[nova solar]

https://paliaparty.app/ or #1445866314949202012 are where people to and organize parties, though i will say, for fish dish parties, because of how lucrative they are, its gonna be real difficult finding on with slots still open

[vital shell]

Are the kitsuu plush forever or its unobtainable once the event is over?

[runic eagle]

They will remain.

[shell mango]

This is genuinely so lazy that I’m speechless

Just staring at the breadcrumbs like… seriously? Ok…

My unpopular opinion is that literally nothing besides the ormuus and pekis fit into ranching

[obtuse frost]

Yes that and trufflets

[shell mango]

Yeah but thinking of actual ranching trufflets would be used for... meat. Not really smth I wanna see in this sorta game.

[vagrant star]

I think there are also pigs used to find truffle mushrooms, I'm not sure how close that is for ranching but it's at least not completely off-base in my opinion.

[shell mango]

Interesting. Though, it would be better if they were able to find unique mushrooms, rather than ones we can easily find ourselves.

[vagrant star]

Makes sense! Personally, I'm glad it doesn't give unique items, though I get where you're coming from.

[heavy cedar]

Agreed on the Ferris being a lazy as heck ranch animal!
But palia is also a fantasy world with purple people and a bipedal alien cat with 4 ears. I personally cant really compare it to what happens here lol

[shell mango]

Well we can judge it as a game then because ranching sucks and the resources you receive from it serve almost no purpose

And tie to no existing skill (unlike the others)

[heavy cedar]

For me ranching is about cute animals and an easy way to get resources, i literally don't have to forage anymore or visit zeki. Yeah the system could be a lot better specifically in regards to aging, breeding and the animal limit.

Also it does pretty directly tie into cooking and at least the crafters

[vagrant star]

Personally, I like the fact that I can get items passively there, and that I can get items I need for cooking without having to visit Zeki. (And that boovars give fishes without having to fish, as I'm too slow for fishing. Would love more of those, having several different options to get the various items.)

[heavy cedar]

Also I wish we could get the weedblock and water fertilizer as a byproduct of taking care of animals, that would be a fun addition imo

[vagrant star]

Ooh yes, that'd be great! Given the icon, maybe from a new "cleaning" interaction?

[shell mango]

Ranching is not available from my plot directly. To me it absolutely makes no sense and kind of depresses me seeing the state of it considering the years I waited for it. I genuinely have nothing positive to say.

[heavy cedar]

Yesss! Or like a rake tool that you actually use or something. And it could be the same mechanic as the worm farms, sweet foods give one type, savoury gives the other

[valid oyster]

A cleaning interaction and/or meter could be a good addition, me'thinks. It would be an excuse to get rid of the Dirty trait, at least

[heavy cedar]

Yeah I guess everyone has different opinions on the implementation of this

[vagrant star]

Maybe with the hoe, if they don't want to add another one? And the fertilizer could also depend on animals, Goobis totally sound like water retain for me...

[heavy cedar]

Naaa, the dirt trait is actually cute on some animals imo

[valid oyster]

It does make sense for a Trufflet, true

[heavy cedar]

Aren't the goobis literally like fertilizing slime or something??!? Like how the hell do they grow flowers?!??

[heavy cedar]

If we're comparing to IRL, actually pigs like to keep really clean

[valid oyster]

Oh, I've heard that! They're super smarties too

[vagrant star]

If they're fertilizing slime, then maybe any flower seed they randomly collect will grow on them... Thanks for the explanation on how they work!

[heavy cedar]

I kinda wish we unlocked each animal with a quest or a letter that explained their lore a little bit

[heavy cedar]

Yeah it's so interesting!!

[heavy cedar]

Idk if that's how they work, thats just how it seems to me lolsss

[tight ibex]

What if the ferrits bring things stolen from zekks store,coin machine and token machine 😄

[vagrant star]

Fair, I just never really had any great idea.

[valid oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/the-avengers-marvel-jeremy-renner-clint-barton-hawkeye-gif-17148870

[vagrant star]

Would be fun, but those feel kind of too valuable for an everyday thing... Maybe if they're mixed with random other small items? I don't know, sometimes a few gold, sometimes a Zeki coin, sometimes a tailor ticket... Or random things taken from Zeki's store.

[valid oyster]

Realistic ferret behavior either way, that's for sure

[vagrant star]

I don't really know real-life ferrises, I guess I'll have to look them up!

[heavy cedar]

A realistic ferret behaviour from what ik would also be them only eating meat lol

[valid oyster]

Someone hide the pekis

[heavy cedar]

Considering some of the pekis can hunt.....

[nocturne wadi]

Hi Palians! Has anyone heard if/when we will finally be getting some branded Palia merch (clothing, IRL plushies, etc) for purchase? It feels like it's a forever wait, unless I totally missed a drop then that is on me! P/S Happy 2026

[obtuse frost]

I've only seen them doing collabs with tea? Sometimes there is merch...but lately not a lot. I wish they would honestly do more plushies especially the limited runs they did with makeship (I think?) like the chapaa for example that was used in the dev's trailer.

[exotic abyss]

My thought was maybe rummage pile loot? Like not recipes or furniture etc but just the random other little things
But honestly i could see them maybe digging up seeds or fryits/veggies too idk

[fast ore]

My guess it's random shinies...ie gems

Likely producing veeerrryyy slow

[glacial furnace]

what is the quickest way to get infected essence? I have Amulet IV which increases it slightly, I don't have anyone to play with so don't get the party benefit

[heavy cedar]

!essence

[opal cypress]

Infected Essence

Infected Essence can be obtained by hunting, fishing, foraging, and bug catching in Elderwood after completing part 4 of the quest: The Nature of Shadows.

Tips for Collecting Essence

• Upgrade your Relics to Tier IV as soon as possible!
• Party up! When in a party, Relic buffs are shared with other party members even if they do not have that Relic equipped. It is suggested that party members each equip different Relics in order to combine multiple effects.
• Drop a Honey Lure and catch as many infected critters as you can (ideally in a party). A4 on the map grid is reported to be a great spot for lures!

[little robin]

One of the best ways to get essence is to party up with others if that's your jam, mixing the Bright-eyed Amulet, Guiding Lantern, and bag of illusion. This combination maximizes the essence available per item. For example, one infected draugr beetle with no additional relic use is about 13 infected essence; which the combo of relics above, that same beetle becomes worth 25 to 30 essence on average. You can average about 3k to 4k essence per real life hour focusing on bug luring parties with others.

If you prefer to stay solo, many people have reported intentional tree cutting and forcing infected spawns to occur can produce a decent amount of essence. Hunting infected creatures and even bug catching solo can also give you a nice amount of essence if you're more into hunting rather than foraging/tree cutting. Oh, and pick up every purple blob you see. It adds up! And forage every infected item you see (if you have the storage space, lol!)

Oh, one more: if you'd like to try out a party with others, there's generally always at least 1 essence party listed in this server's party channel: https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1445866314949202012 OR you can almost always find essence parties on PaliaParty.app too

[heavy cedar]

oop that command also specifies for party play mostly. but yeah what frogga said lol. also id get the bag instead of amulet, because you dont spend essence making the elder wood specific tools

[old dirge]

Folks have been begging for alternate ways to get resources for accessibility reasons, the boovars in particular serve as a partial answer to that. If they fix rhe new visual triggers and expand the animals/resources offered better/well then its a second option for people who cannot do some of the other skills.

[glacial furnace]

I have the bag too but i thought the amulet would be best as it gives a "massive" boost to essence rate - it doesn't seem like it gives a massive boost though? it seems no different, 8-12 range

[heavy cedar]

yeah fishing and bugs are the biggest issues for most people iirc. many dont even like doing those skills

[vivid oar]

As a passive way to get resources its fine but as a whole fleshed out skill and gameplay mechanic its really lacking imo

[heavy cedar]

the bag is def best for solo play, any gains you make from the amulet is mostly cut when making the ew tools

[vivid oar]

It essentially has the same gameplay as getting a daily zeki coin, click a thing once a day get some stuff

[old dirge]

Yes, there is some official merch, but only some are currently available.

No word on anything else yet

[old dirge]

Absolutely, it needs to be better integrated into gameplay and tie into the world better too. Just disputing it being irredeemably bad with Absolutely nothing good about.

[vivid oar]

Its 100% a cute addition and Id rather have SOMETHING than nothing at all :D I love the slimes poopin out some flowers i dont have to go grab every so often :P

Just as someone who loves creatures and that tamagochi type pet care in games so much, its a little disappointing that even I sort of... ignore the farm after a few months of it being added. There is no fun to it, when there is so many directions you can go with animal farming I just wish they hadnt gone with the most sort of cookie clicker way :(

(and where are my ranching trophy's dammit?!)

[heavy cedar]

Yeah I 10000% agree with this, even just more ways to interact, and like making the rocks in the ranch scalable and water fishable in will make a world of difference in integrating it with the rules of the rest of the world

[vivid oar]

Hopfully it is something they will improve on as they go. But yeah making the farm have other reasons to go there is a cool idea, could of been something uy could upgrade or unlock, to be able to get fishing spots to spawn, or bugs to spawn (with limits oviously) Would of been nice if it had trees and rocks that respawned, not loads just a few so u could use it to grab a few bits every now and then. Maybe unlock a few extra dirt spots for growing stuff, have a couple of preset slots you could put a couple of extra crafters in like worm bins. I didnt even really think about just making the farm itself more enticing to go to, I was more just sad about the game mechanics they picked for the ranching itself but its true, it does really feel like a strange tacked on map that doesnt match up with the rest of the game hahaa

[heavy cedar]

Yeah the ranch mechanics need to be tweaked for sure!
Personally I wouldn't even care about having "extra" skills on the ranch, just have it follow the same laws that home plots follow with capable walls and fishing. Like nowhere else in the entire game is there water purposely deep enough to drown in but you can't fish there. And like there is that one singular wall that you can climb in the ranch so why not all of them????

[nocturne wadi]

Yes! I have seen that the ambassadors have merch and plushies but it seems to be limited to them at this time. Sads!

[jolly veldt]

Sorry not sorry but their attempt at masculine skins is a total fail. Its literally female armor just dark. Been playing for a few years now and i honestly have a very hard time not thinking they are gender bias.

[old dirge]

the concept art for the new outfit is here https://palia.com/news/palia-path-winter-2025 along with mentioning that in palia fem outfits get more engagement than masc outfits so they're prioritized for ROI reasons and the selection will likely always lead that way

[dark moon]

It feels masc to me when we are talking masc, what exactly are we demanding? I think i would rather see different body types first.

[marsh depot]

At least I'm glad it didn't go the way most fantasy armors go for female player bodies (tried to explain it in a way I wouldn't get bonked, hope it's understood)

But yeah I guess to really see a difference we'd need to see different body types first.

[dark moon]

Its looks more androgynous actually, like you cant tell what gender is underneath

[marsh depot]

It's a start definitely, I guess it can feel like it's not more aimed at male presenting players that some of the more female presenting skins are? I don't know how to word it, I've been out all day and brain fried

But yeah definitely more androgynous looking.

[lyric night]

I like it, won't get it tho(I have enough outfits to choose from and prefer non armor outfits)
especially not if they are doing the same trash they did with their recent high tier fem outfits and sell it for 3400

[marsh depot]

I'm expecting that to happen tbh

[half kestrel]

It's a animated outfit, that has a unique equip method its definitely going to be 3400

[marsh depot]

Now give us a VFX toggle already

[livid void]

Oh felt there. I loved the idea, but the whole ranching process feels like more of a chore than anything fun to do, so I often find myself avoiding it

[mellow turret]

Has palia mentioned anything about the jam plushie we voted on a few months ago?

[lyric night]

well those were 2500 before they for absolutely zero reason raised the price with the rapunzel and winter warrior outfits

[livid void]

yeah im kinda bummed that the masc outfits are pretty lackluster, and the good ones cost so much

also are the equip animations usable outside of the wardrobes btw? cause like, i havent seen them outside of that

[lyric night]

there are a good amount of rly good and cheaper masc ones, would not call them lackluster at all

their pricing policy was always 2500 for outfits that come with elaborate effects, some 1700 got them a year ago with idle effects while they added outfit transformation animations to 2500 outfits

[lyric night]

yes, by switching into them through the outfitwheel

[livid void]

theres a WHEEL??!!

[lyric night]

yeah u save outfits in ur wardrobe, add them to the outfitwheel in ur collection then can access it through the emotewheel, it has an outfit section

[livid void]

omg i had no idea kajshsdf

oh im gonna be so annoying with this information

[dark moon]

Sell me the outfit without the animation

[faint agate]

Hey uh, no matter how many weekly villager item requests i do my generosity quest wont progress

Nvm

[dull crow]

does anyone know how i can get this poster?

[glacial furnace]

Is there a particular channel for in game requests?

[pallid ferry]

That's not an in-game poster, so if you're seeing that on someone's plot, they used cheats to make it.

[glacial furnace]

it's a screen, you can use cheats to place the machine lower in the ground which makes the screen look like a poster on the wall

[little robin]

It's not "cheats" to sink an item, it's a known decor technique:

https://youtu.be/4E3TW0p9D7U?si=DLrwJh7hPT8YHud6

Tutorial above if you're interested @dull crow

[marsh depot]

I'm gonna guess they meant glitches, it's not uncommon to confuse the words tbh.

[coarse umbra]

Has there been any update on when the next bit of main storyline is gonna be released?

[heavy cedar]

All we know is it'll be before the next adventure zone

[hard tinsel]

Does the new fun guy plush (madrinas) just says “madrinas fun guy” or just “fun guy”? Because i know the Maji plush is called “madrinas Maji plush” in game. Truly don’t know if I’m making any sense…

[little robin]

When in inventory or trading, it says Madrinas Fun Guy. When placed on the plot and looking at it, it says Fun Guy Plushie.

[hard tinsel]

Thank you!

[ionic geyser]

will the estate pieces in the lunar path be purchasable in the future? im not close to finishing the path

[nova solar]

palia's battlepasses dont expire, you can still get them from that path, and take your time completing the lunar path for that matter

[ionic geyser]

omg! thanks so much. I was worried they expire

[old dirge]

with Tuesday's update i think its:

• path, kistuu plush, winter theming stay
• board/bundle, snowman event ends
• winterlights store - tbd
  right now

[nova solar]

seeing people talk about palia's battlepasses made me realize just how much of a foreign concept battlepasses are to cozy gamers

[old dirge]

yeah, though infinity nikki and disney dreamlight valley have similar things

[digital rose]

I have to admit. I hadn't played a MMO since Elder Scrolls Online, more than 5 years ago.

[marsh depot]

Nikki is a gacha though, so not an unfamiliar concept for those who have played gachas before. I think from what I've seen at least, that Palia seems to be many players first MMO/online game or even first game.

Or are more familiar with battlepasses that do "expire".

[nova solar]

isnt palia an mmo game technically? unless you mean the more typical ones like elder scrolls or wow

[digital rose]

I meant before I started playing Palia 2 years ago. 🙂 I never got into WOW or Everquest.

[slow echo]

Is anyone else as frustrated as I that there is not one bathroom...or kitchen for that matter that is truly complete. There is always something missing and the sets are too distinct from each other to truly match.

[nova solar]

ah my bad, its just that i never really consider palia an mmo because i feel like its still rather lacking in some aspects, but then again i never really considered myself an mmo player, which is why i always say im the most out of place palian player here

[marsh depot]

They are "moving away" from the term like WC said here #💬│palia-discussions message but he's also aware many people might still think of it as an MMO.

[warm adder]

Play with the tints! That can really help make things look better together. And visit home tours to see ideas. But yeah I wish there were full sets too.

[dark moon]

The winter store stays until lunar new year

[old dirge]

nice, i missed that update this week. was worried it'd only be one patch this time just like the spooky moon store was cut short this time

[dark moon]

Well I hope they don't cut it short, in my palian experience it stays, except for that one time when palia couldn't decide what season it was

[old dirge]

ah so it is still TBD

[marsh depot]

I also hope they don't take it away this Tuesday though I'd also have appreciated if they'd announce it with more advance

[fiery perch]

Unfortunately, they cut it short with the Halloween one, so it's very psosible it could happen with this one. I didnt even think about it.

[dark moon]

It would be silly to cut it short and still give us winter furniture, thats the only place to buy snowballs

Im not going to pre-stock snowballs in anticipation of the new furniture, they are all going to snowman

[marsh depot]

It just also sucks in general they don't give more notice for this tbh like, at least if they had told us when the trailer dropped, instead of assuming we'd assume it's gone

They did it for Hoppington so

[fiery perch]

That's true and a good point. I hope that means it won't just disappear in that case, for sure ... but also means, the snow/winter environment in Kilimia will probably stay, so... ... conflicted feelings.

[dark moon]

The trailer shows the snow staying. So maybe? Hopefully?

[fiery perch]

Yeah, I remember seeing that in the trailer. But I wasn't sure if it meant it was staying or rather, it's cuz there's snow in the game right now lol, but yeah. it'd make sense if that meant it all was staying.

[minor matrix]

Anyone else loving the newly merged servers constantly filled with 24 other players all doing the same thing you are? Take hunting in Bahari, for example. Don't you just love having to fight for the less than 5% chance to get one shot at a magic animal so you can make your weekly Big Game Hunter achievement? So much fun.

[unique inlet]

Piksii shrooms count for big game hunter.

[minor matrix]

True 🙂 But I don't think I'll like hunting those forever. It gets pretty monotonous shooting shmoles... and the piksii shmole is pretty rare.

[shell mango]

Really is that a new thing? How does it work?

[little robin]

Server merging is currently disabled, but there's a bit more info on it here: https://palia.com/news/palia-path-winter-2025

A recent note from Lacie as well re: server merges: #🌟│sixer-tracker message

[digital rose]

That’s fair. Like Just a Palcat wrote, S6 doesn’t regard it as an MMO anymore. I’m mainly a single-player or small group kind of player myself.

[vivid oar]

I swear animal crossing coming out when covid happened turned so many normal society contributing humans who had never played games into cozy gamer cereal for dinner pj wearing degenerate.... finally, my people are rising >:D Cozy type games seem so have boomed since then. Its so mindblowing to me meeting people in palia and asking the usual game small talk 'what other games u play?' and then drowning in my lack of social skills when they say 'oh I dont really play many games'... well there goes my prewritten interactions scrips 🥹

[marsh depot]

Well, it's more like they decided to move away from the tag cause it generated "false expectations" but there's still some descriptions that say MMO and in the old Q&As they referred to it as one.

But yeah I also don't consider it an MMO myself, more like an, online game I guess.

[marsh depot]

yeah COVID really contributed to the boom of cozy games, I didn't get to play AC but played MC, Stardew and Rimworld quite a bit during that time (one of those is clearly not like the others)

And yeah, there's many people who seem to only play Palia and not much else or Palia is their first game/online game.

[digital rose]

Yeah. 25 players at a time isn’t really “massive.” But I guess there’s not really a great category to put Palia in.

[vivid oar]

SMO =_= Palia will start its own thing

[heavy cedar]

yeah its just MO lol

[exotic abyss]

CMO, Cozy Multiplayer Online? Lol
Edited because i put the words in the wrong order

[vivid oar]

Ey perfect!

[marsh depot]

Cozy until it isn't

It's funny cause really the term cozy can be subjective depending on the person, some people find some games cozy without necessarily being in that "genre".

[exotic abyss]

I mean Stardew is considered a cozy game, and that has combat and lots of personal drama that can be rather mature
Like Shane's heart events

[vivid oar]

UG 6pm - someone stood at a spampot table and didnt spam.... people think LoL players can be harsh, ohmy

[marsh depot]

Shane my beloved

I personally find Runescape cozy, or well, certain skills can be. Rimworld as well to some degree

[heavy cedar]

the hotpot tables should have their own emotes or something so everyone can see what game is being played

[marsh depot]

As an ARAM only league player, I can confirm

They should rework the hotpot tables and just give us the possibility of having private matches as well, so people can spam or not, and stop with the whole "you stole my spot" drama

[heavy cedar]

or just prioritise people who are in a party together

[vivid oar]

I dont think they want to encourage spampot since its 'exploity' and 'not in the spirit' and they also seem to want to aggressively dumb things down for new players so having two versions plus the game itself which admittedly does seem to baffle new players would go against that probs

(I exclusivly play spampot, im not crapping on it)

[heavy cedar]

its the same issue as the lures (for me) on a certain level. do they NEED to be reworked? no. would it be better for community interactions if they were reworked? yes

[vivid oar]

I dunno I also kinda think that people need to erm (Im genuinely not trying to be rude to anyone about anything please no one take this the wrong way and try to stab me again) learn that not everything can go just how they want/like it? Especially in online spaces/online games? Other people are around doing things too and sometimes you have to deal with it, learn to function when the life setting isnt a sims game and you have total control over every person and action. If other people doing things is genuinely causing stress maybe an online multiplayer game isnt the right game to play >.< I feel like this is leaking into life as well as games in the past few years where everyone is forgetting that dealing with annoyances and learning how to navigate social situations with other humans with free will is part of being alive

[marsh depot]

If they don't want people to find ways to minmax then they should rework their RNG honestly. I stopped playing hotpot in general because I can't deal with that RNG Wheel of Doom and don't want to turn hotpot (be it regular or spampot) into a 9-5 job only to get ingredients.

[vivid oar]

Me hyperventilating while i try to pick my words extra carefully after being almost shanked for agreeing with someone last time I was chatting here 😂

[marsh depot]

Oh yeah definitely. It's why I feel like many players are just new to the concept of MMO/online games in general because of how much entitlement there can be over how the game is played, resources, etc

This is the only game I've played where I've seen "etiquette".

[heavy cedar]

i agree on this, but also games are an escape. i think removing the causes of all these "annoyances"/ discourse that can be removed should be in the case of this game atleast.
edited for clarity

[marsh depot]

Wait what happened? oh, do you mean that time?

[heavy cedar]

make it cost 9,999 renown lmao

[marsh depot]

we have hotpot at home

I mean it'd be great that they could rework many systems to reduce as much friction as possible and just make it overall a better player experience, but I think Keebys point of "there will always be discordances" is also valid in a sense because some people really obsess over the way others play and it not being the same as theirs, but people will people, sadly.

[vivid oar]

I agree for things like ease of use/qol but usually the annoyances that are surrounding people are even more polarising than the average thing, what would be an annoyance for some isnt for others and what would be a fix for some is a new annoyance for others. And in a unfortunate way, once you start trying to fix all the little social issues people will take that as a precedent and then feel entitled to every little grip they have to be fixed and be outraged when the game doesnt add a block on axe use before 3am so no one care dare chop a flowtree to early and ruin what they think is the right way to do things (hyperbole oviously :P)

[heavy cedar]

yeahi get that but im not suggesting things that change the game or enforce peoples expectations, im suggesting things that just makes things easier like whoever puts down the lure gets all loot, not... "the grove cant be cut before 3am"

[marsh depot]

Yeah I agree with you, I think your message was more of "some people should learn that you can't control others or how others change".

[lyric night]

worldevent tracking would be such a great QoL feature

[marsh depot]

Honestly, yes. Or add it to the dowsing rod and make it a bit more useful and immersive.

But Ciri, they're aware. /j

[vivid oar]

It would be such a cute addition to be able to earn a hotpot table for your home plot :O Im trying to think if there is a downside to that from their perspective, maybe less people in the UG =_= Would it really be that many/that bad >:O Or would it be a more dev-y problem of the item being moveable and glitching furniture and stuff making it hard to add

[marsh depot]

Nah I think it's more of them not wanting to. I mean if we can have the chapaa game at home, don't see why we couldn't have hotpot. Maybe the coding is different since it's a multiplayer mini game or maybe it'd crash players plots like the Chapaa game was some time back, allegedly.

Maybe they'd need to rework it so it doesn't give the wheel coins instead.

[vivid oar]

Have u seen the glitch u can do with the chappa game?! I just saw it for the first time the other day here and my tiny mind was blown :O I wanna make a drivethru cinema thing now

[marsh depot]

A drive thru cinema sounds like such a great idea though, and yes I saw the glitch! It was funny

[minor matrix]

Thanks for the deets. I guess they are using fewer servers now. Since a couple of weeks ago, there is never one that isn't full now - even at 1 am - which is when I always used to be able to get one all to myself. Oh well... there are other things to do in life besides play a game, I guess lol.

[little robin]

That makes sense on the timeline. They started the server merge system a few days after the update, and then paused it around 12/19 and left it off through the holidays. It was recently re-implemented, but paused again as some of the issues players had prior were still present. It seems like a system that will be sticking with us, so I am hoping they resolve the issues ppl were experiencing (namely, re-mapping the merge acceptance key!)

[marsh depot]

Also less chances to run into someone's lure

[rustic vessel]

ashura doing pushups in da back w the mantis is cracking me up rn…

[restive narwhal]

I caught him doing push ups floating up some stairs the other day 🤣

[valid oyster]

Ashura: "What exercise to do today? Push-ups, or a round on the StairMaster?"

He chose both.

[torn sluice]

My boyfriend was just talking yesterday about how he didn’t like most of the male outfits and then they decided they’d drop the dopest outfit and now he’s happy.

[grand palm]

So quick question. Are the plushies that were available in the premium level of the path also avaiilable as drops during the game? I ended up with a rainbow kitsuu while mining palium

[lone cosmos]

Yes

Hallo! Der Server ist auf Englisch, weil das Moderieren sonst sehr schwer wäre, also schreib bitte auf Englisch. Danke! Für Reaktionen auf dein Grundstück fragst du am Besten in #🏡│home-reactions :-)

[stiff nymph]

Happy to have contributed about 15 snowmen plushies for the collective cause that's how good my RNG was.

[marsh depot]

Same lol. I just crafted them cause I didn't want to see the coal in my inventory, I could care less about this event

Imo it's the lowest rewards for crazy RNG event there's been so far but that's just my opinion i just want the palcat plush

[exotic abyss]

Yeah i was not grinding for this at all, and only made snowmen to get the coal out of my inv lol

I only made like
4? 5? Some very small number

[marsh depot]

I only placed one and it was on top of a brazier. That's how much I cared for the event

[exotic abyss]

I think i only placed one in my house, next to my Winterlights display?? Maybe????
Oh! Actually i was upset because for some odd reason it wouldnt let me place it on a nighstand or whatever. So i dont think i even placed it.

[marsh depot]

I mean I... I guess I'm not surprised I did glitch mine on the brazier, and I'm gonna guess it's got a ground tag so it won't be placeable on top of a nightstand

[exotic abyss]

Yeahhh i think it does have a ground tag
Its a plushie like, it feels like it should be placeable as a plushie not just as a snowman
The bigger ones, maybe, yeah (i assume we're getting others???)

[marsh depot]

Yep, I agree. I'm guessing they just assumed people would place them on top of the snow mounts and stuff.

[bold condor]

I want to make ninja snowmen in my house but can't because they can't be placed inside

[marsh depot]

ninja snowmen?

[stiff nymph]

(also took a few days break and I see that the server merging went really well. Incredible stuff. /s ).

[marsh depot]

They definitely listened to the feedback /s

[midnight totem]

With this event ending, are the plushie kitsuus going to be still available from mining?

[violet copper]

Yup!

[marsh depot]

Lacie, is there any chance in the future we could be told more in advance when the Spiriftfest/Winterlights stores are leaving? I get it might be a bit obvious that they'd leave after their patch is over, but I think many would appreciate a timely heads up like it happened when Hoppington was going to leave.

[fiery perch]

@dark moon Looks like the winterlights store is leaving tomorrow dang.

[marsh depot]

Same, I'm disappointed. Wanted to do some cooking parties but didn't have the chance cause Holidays and the one day I had signed up for one, it was the server merge test.

I guess I can try to sell some stuff to quickly get those iceicles but sucks having to wait an entire year for those again

Specially since people are theorising the snowy furniture shown in the trailer might require snowballs, it makes things a bit confusing

And just thought this is info that might not be widely available to people outside discord too.

[violet copper]

I'll bring it up to the team - perhaps it's something we can figure out how to add with the new (and improving) news tool feature.

[marsh depot]

That'd be neat, thank you. Since theyre items that are only around once a year, it would help to stock up/plan things in advance for many.

[fiery perch]

That would be great, esp since folks like myself, who have been around during the previous events... It lasted longer than this time. The same occured with the Halloween Store.

It'd just overall be lovely to let people know ahead of time-- could even put it in the trailer somewhere, or when mentioning the maintenance will happen and giving a "preview" of the notes. (I know it's to make ppl look forward to things, but also noting important info like the shop leaving would help, too.)

But, it'd just be nice so people know to stock pile. It also just felt misleading in a sense this time around, since the snow in the trailer, and the name of the patch. "Winter's Wonder: Snowbound Sanctuary".

But yeah, just any way to make sure people know ahead of time would be great, instead of having everyone theorize and try to figure it out on their own. Transparency is great!!

[marsh depot]

I didn't have time to do cooking parties during the Holidays and the day I had signed up for one, it was the day the server merging test was happening, so it got cancelled.

[fringe depot]

I have been playing for a couple of months--slowly but in a more addictive manner now (HA!). How do cooking parties work?

[marsh depot]

This too, the previous ones lasted a lot longer! Despite of if it was accidental or not, the transparency would be great.

[exotic abyss]

Someone hosts at their plot, invite people (usually using a party finder website and/or the channel in discord here) and everyone chooses a role and brings ingredients! Theyre pretty fun once you do one or two

[fringe depot]

That sounds fun!!

[jolly marsh]

Everyone contributes one ingredient and/or completes one task (some recipes have roles that don’t require ingredients) when cooking a meal and everyone that participates gets the food

[marsh depot]

What duststar said, basically. You can find them here #1445866314949202012 or in the Paliaparty site. There's recipes that have free roles for beginners, like cake parties.

[old dirge]

exactly this - for both the spirit fest and winterlights stores this year/season people were 100% confident that they would stay for at least two months like they did/were supposed to the previous two years and telling other players that.

and yeah, as mentioned, it's implied by the new snowy furniture that the winterlights store would stay around so that we can still buy snowballs so we don't have to wait a year to craft the new furniture if we're among the many that purged snowballs to make storage space for a week of bug parties

Which does raise the question, how are we getting snowballs for the new furniture recipes?

[marsh depot]

I guess we need to know to hoard in advance but oh wait, we're not supposed to

[dark moon]

Most likely the new ranch animal which honestly...

No.

I dont want a ranch animal that brings me snow

[marsh depot]

That'd just add salt to injury tbh

[dark moon]

Ah yes sir furryfer, please bring the item in which I had no pleasure in collecting because upon its release it literally blinded me several times and caused me to black out twice

No thanks

[marsh depot]

And then people wonder why we're asking for the VFX toggles and photosensitivity warning

I'm really sorry that happened Let's hope it's not the case and the ferris doesn't actually just give... snowballs.

[dark moon]

They could put the warning right there, on the same screen of their "these are news not ads , but the look ads" wall of images

[old dirge]

if presents aren't happening anymore and the store is gone and we purged snowballs on the announcement of hitting the goal (or just because we loath the item on principle) then yeah no crafting the furniture being added tomorrow?

[dark moon]

Just a nice text block

"Warning, some functions and features may cause photo sensitive issues, please proceed with care."

[marsh depot]

Honestly, yes. I was talking about it with someone else earlier on but it's funny to think the WiiSports game had health and caution warnings everytime you loaded into a game.

So much so that it led to people making memes and "horror" videos about it.

[dark moon]

Even wiii fit warns you with every loading screen. Just put it on the loading screens, half the time players are stuck there anyways

[fiery perch]

I want this as well, and it's something I've tried to give feedback and mention multipel times. I have also tried to let them to know to add a photosensivity warning at the beginning of trailers.

They did this once (however, it was while animations were happeening and easily missed, so... it was a step forward i guess), but... again, only once, and not again since.

There hasn't been as many 'flashes' in trailers at least, compared to before, but I still look out for them and make sure I mention when they happen, and when to stop looking and stuff in accessibility-discussions when I can.

[old dirge]

you mean the splash screen that shows after the studio and game title logo on many games? to the point that it seems to be the industry standard way to reduce legal exposure on that front, because the cost of that would ruin even the bigger studios let alone one the size of s6. the thing that surely every legal department at every studio probably advises for every game regardless of content?

[dark moon]

I would love love love, a warning opening the shop since apparently every outfit needs to sparkle and gleam Dx

Honestly forget the vfx toggle just sell me a slightly cheaper version of the outfit with no animation

You still make money. And I dont have to remember my sunglasses

[fiery perch]

I just want to open the shop and not immediately get blinded. I feel like I have to quickly swap to a different tab, bc when they try to display the new outfit, i get blinded, unfortunately.

A warning but also just.. not have them immediately do the animation would be great.

[old dirge]

still need to toggle everyone else's vfx though

[marsh depot]

Oh yeah. That was also so disappointing.

[dark moon]

Yeah... fortunately I play on a potato(switch 1) so it has been doing it for me lately. I shouldnt have to rely on that, but im at the point of giving up

[dark moon]

I wish the very first page is just zeki and his greedy little paws, no twinkle, no flashing, no shining. Just a greedy grimalkin

[marsh depot]

Yep, I mean even League has "stretch and drink water" reminders in loading screens (no flash warning though but I'm not expecting that much from Rito)

[dark moon]

I mean palia does have a take break loading text, but I wish that right there in their wall of Las Vegas signs, a warning about flashing lights

[marsh depot]

No yeah definitely. I agree with you.

[grave isle]

hey, does anyone know what the drop rate black pearls have? ive collected maybe 80 elder clam mushrooms and i havent found jack :(

[stiff nymph]

It's pretty rare (the wiki says it's an epic rarity) 😅. Though maybe the RNG gods will smile down upon you soon enough.

[marsh depot]

I don't know if this still works, but you could request it from the relic crafting inventory, you needed a certain high tier recipe, I can't remember which one.

[grave isle]

ive got zero relic crafting recipes- ive got a bug the team is working on where im stuck in the main quest- so theres a lot of stuff im behind on when it comes to elderwood things

[grave isle]

thank you!!! <3

[restive narwhal]

I am struggling with this too 😩

[pulsar hollow]

i googled it and reddit says some players have opened hundreds and not found any, so i kinda gave up and jus fgatehr them as i see them

[grave isle]

i need it for the Bahari Boyz quest, its one of the only quests i can do right now, so im workin!!

[flint igloo]

Some people say to collect as manyelderclams as possible and then open them all at once and that helped their rng.

[marsh depot]

I'd honestly say that's just anecdotical since RNG is just RNG, collecting as many as you can and opening them at once is just the same as opening as you collect but that's just my experience

[uncut elbow]

I have a few black pearls its just luck

[jolly marsh]

I would suggest going shmole hunting because you can get quite a few elderclam mushrooms that way and in my opinion it’s more fun than trying to find and forage them. You can also get trufflets for your ranch and they’ll produce elderclam mushrooms sometimes. Otherwise, it’s just RNG as others have stated

[flint igloo]

Some also say complaining here helps too

[uncut elbow]

What i can't seem to finish is finding the shiny pebble

[jolly marsh]

That one took me ages to find. I feel like that’s truly one of those things you find when you’re not looking for it

[uncut elbow]

I still haven't found Obsidian Kitsuu and i am faithful miner with more iron than I will ever need.

[calm star]

I been mining everyday for at least 1 hr and I have yet to get any of the Kitsuus. Does anyone know if they are going away with the update? or do I still have a chance to get one later

[marsh depot]

They're permanent, they're not going away, just very rare RNG

[calm star]

Ok cool, thanks for answering my question. I thought I was SOL

[marsh depot]

They stated to not try to go out of your way to grind for them so take your time with them! (Or you can trade them if you'd like)

[calm star]

I was grinding because I thought they were going to stop with the update. Feel relief to know they are permanent and just go about my day as normal and be surprise when it does happen

[marsh depot]

Yeah I can understand the confusion many people had with them being in the Lunar Path. I've yet to get one but I'll be surprised when I do.

[rustic vessel]

hahaha he used to do it in the leaf hopper hills area too 🤣 they patched him up from doing it on the road but he still does it in the inn ig!!

[rustic vessel]

it looks cool i agree

[azure prawn]

nooooo the event is about to be over and I still haven’t gotten coal

[desert nebula]

(Help is this a joke?? I truly can't tell) have you been opening the purple presents?

[azure prawn]

absolutely not a joke, literally no coal

I got started a little late to the event due to IRL stuff, and rng has not been my friend

[verbal temple]

So it seems the battle pass thing is not always accessible as per recent post?

"With the new patch arriving on January 13th, the current Bulletin Board Quest will be closing and a new one will take its place.

Be sure to finish up and claim your rewards before the change. These items will return in the future, but it may be a little while! ❄️"

I thought the whole point was we would be able to do this at our own pace?

[nova solar]

the battlepasses are permanent, those you can do at your own pace, the bulletin boards are the ones where you have until next update to complete

[verbal temple]

I was under the impression all there is on the bulletin board is little dailies etc related to the battle pass

[nova solar]

the bulletin board bundles always worked like that when it was introduced where every new update, a new board gets added with different items to fulfil, it was just changed to now reward battlepass xp and kilima coins instead of items for completing part of it and fully completing the whole bundle

the dailies also still function as it is when it also got introduced, just now rewards you with battlepass xp as well in addition to the tailor tickets

for the record, battlepasses in palia are permanent, you can take your time completing them

[verbal temple]

Okay thank you appreciate you taking time to explain

[old dirge]

So as briefly as possible tomorrow when the game goes down for the update:

• path, kistuu plush, winter theming stay
• board/bundle, snowman event, winterlights store end

[marsh depot]

It's kinda funny the snowman will be completely gone tomorrow after it's been at it's max size for just, 2 days? Frogbert stayed for longer

[dim willow]

Does anyone know where any platinum nodes in elderwood currently are?

[verbal temple]

What was actually to be gained by focusing on the bundles? I thought they were just a way to give a good boost to path xp

[exotic abyss]

they also heavily contribute to the new chests at the top of the bulletin board, which seem to kinda replace the old board rewards

i think itd be cool if there was an exclusive reward you get for completing all 4, but you only need to do 3 bundles and a few dailies/weeklies to get all the chests (and thus, the end of bundle quest outro thingy)

[runic eagle]

Yeah especially since the winter theme is staying.

[old dirge]

The bundles are tied into the monthly board quest thematically and completing them earns xp for the rewards chest that are also themed - This feature seems to still be evolving; the current bundle is the first time it's worked this way, previously all items in a bundle had to be completed to get it's set of rewards and all four bundles had to be completed to get the end of the quest.

[old dirge]

they'll be different on every server, so you'll need to hunt for them. An ore compass can help a little, but it will also show palium and large stone nodes. People do tend to call out grid locations with resources like platinum in the game chat so keep an eye on that too

[verbal temple]

How are the Elderwood quests actually this bad? I've never been so frustrated with a game just being so vague and clunky with its execution of quests.

[pallid ferry]

I'm back at it! #PatchBingo is available, and the first randomized bingo card actually looking winnable this time!

*Gardening- give us more lettuce than the seeds from Father's Day 2024. Give us more soil patches to make our little gardening hearts happy.
*Ranching- alter animal aging so that they either do not age while offline, have a guild shop cookie to stop aging after adult, or make venerated animals able to breed, so players can keep their favorite traits without logging in every day. Make Divine Donut purchasable in Guild shop (for a lot of coins if must be). More animal slots to accomodate the growing variety of critters being added.
*Passive production- add wheat mill, mushroom press, and butter churn, so players can produce flour, oil, and butter.
*Mining- make starstones appear more frequently OR make them sell for more.

Thanks for reading my wishlist!

[static belfry]

Patch notes are always missing details, you don’t even need to wait till the update to cross that one

https://palia.com/news/patch-199 Patch notes are up, everyone

[fiery perch]

y'all i thought that one outfit had an axe on it. it took me a while to realize that is, in fact, not an axe.

reminds me of minecraft though.

[pallid ferry]

Regular skill XP advancing the paths is HUGE

[marsh depot]

I mean you're not wrong lmao

[pallid ferry]

NEW FLOORS. Still not the cobble I want, but hey, looks neat.

[trail mist]

Excited for the ranch treat organization

[fiery perch]

Will spoil these just in case, but these are the rewards for the new path ...

[marsh depot]

Guess we won't be getting our free PNG cosmetic /s

[fiery perch]

Oh, that's a nameplat that's locked behind premium too. I just noticed that lol

[stuck oar]

@violet copper Could you please enlighten us on this? Yardwork Terrace is not a recipe...

[marsh depot]

A piece of already existing furniture as a free reward is. Lazy.

[young plank]

im trying to keep up but my coffee free brain is having trouble

[fiery perch]

At least, I guess, no recipes are locked behind premium this time

[obtuse frost]

Mmm...not too excited about the new lunar path

[marsh depot]

Of course nameplates are paywalled now lol I cant remember if there were any before

[obtuse frost]

omg nooo

also hodari's starstone thing is only for one week. wtf...that's not enough time at all

[stuck oar]

That we know of... they posted the Jukebox 🤔 so I wouldn't put it past them to have things in the "and more" that would make people unhappy

[raw marsh]

Oh yes, give us as a reward the starred star stones that drop like candy. Not the rarer ones. I've been trying for a stared Emerald, Aquamarine, and Jasper for a month, and I haven't seen any for 2 years

[marsh depot]

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

[fiery perch]

I honestly was hoping for one of the cardigans to be free, considering it's called "path of the cardigan". And the only thing that shows that is the premium, and I'm just.. not getting any sort of "free" rewards from that to give that same vibe. Which does sadden me.

Considering the Kitsuu one, yes it was very 0 effect shirt with a kitsuu, but at least it gave something that made sense for it

[obtuse frost]

same 😔

[fiery perch]

They have a gif showing the pass. i posted it above

[marsh depot]

Honestly like, considering the last event with the insane RNG and the rewards, I don't have much faith events will improve much in that sense.

[young plank]

That saddens me that they are starting to push other cosmetics behind the paywall. Its like they are catering to the paid crowd more then the free to play players its starting to show sorry.

[obtuse frost]

yeah and that's what I was afraid of...this is terrible :/

[marsh depot]

Yep, there's no cohesion with this one.

[violet copper]

Let me check in with the team if there's another name.

[fiery perch]

This flooring is kinda nice tho.

[trail mist]

Love that floor

[young plank]

dont get me wrong i like the flooring but suprised its not locked behind a paywall /j

[obtuse frost]

yeah that one would work well with emberborn furniture for sure ^^

or even capital chic

[marsh depot]

Orii, we finally got our golden accents /lh

[pallid ferry]

Green tint. YAAAASSSS.
Do crafted tints count against our storage count, or are they infinite like other decor?
Rummage pile recipes. Boooo.
Seeds stacking to 100 instead of 30 is nice.

Still no lettuce.
still can't purchase multiples from Zeki or elsewhere.

[fiery perch]

HAHA, well, I still want more furniture that's white with gold accents too /silly

[marsh depot]

They don't count iirc

[fiery perch]

I'm also glad they at least have finally implemented a Quick Chat feature. I've suggested this multiple times

[marsh depot]

Ofc. The thing the community loves the most, more rummage pile recipes. Yay. /s

[pallid ferry]

Glad to tick the "accessibility box" for at least a communication thing.

[cedar notch]

what is the quick chat feature? i ahven't heard about this

[novel seal]

where can we find the super lucky prize?

[marsh depot]

Let's hope it's not the first and last time, I still want to hear about that accessibility audit

[lyric night]

idk how to feel about the new 3400 coin price tag for high tier cosmetics (rly hoped that rapunzel wouldn't set the new norm but think they will run with it now.), sure they combined all 9 colors into one and it's in theory less than before but.... we have high tier cosmetics with 9 colors at 2500 already there is no justification for the 3400, especially with the outfit dyeing feature coming soon.

[fiery perch]

Open up the communicaton wheel (same one with stickers/emotes), and there will be a tab for Quick Chat. It'll show some phrases that are used a lot.

Example: Hello, On My Way!, Party up? ... etc.

[marsh depot]

Ferris gives ||fruit|| as many expected

[marsh depot]

Expected honestly but I agree with you Tiny. Good for those who can justify breaking bank every patch though.

[fiery perch]

Mhm. Although, I'm not sure if i'm misunderstanding this, but it does say this...

"By default, the wheel includes 8 commonly used phrases, such as Hello, Thank You, Yes, and No. Additional customization options are planned for future updates of the feature."

The last line, makes me wonder if that means they aren't going to be adding any other common phrases...? which would be a shame...

[stuck oar]

Thank you kindly

[fiery perch]

"The Keybind to accept a server transfer has been changed to prevent any accidental acceptance of server transfer!"

[pallid ferry]

Yeah one week for a skill event feels super short.

[marsh depot]

The new copy feature with the Tint UI looks neat at least.

[fiery perch]

It honestly feels even shorter bc of how uncommon/rare getting star-stones is tbhtbh.

[violet copper]

I believe it is referring to this: https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Yardwork_Large_Terrace

[marsh depot]

So, are they bringing it back now?

[pallid ferry]

But this we purchase from the yardwork store. It's not a recipe. Are the requirements mentioned for the snowy recipes incorrect?

[young plank]

Third times the charm? /j

[fiery perch]

New known issue: "In some cases, it is possible for folks not to receive the 3 warnings for the server is winding down."

[young plank]

There’s 3 warnings? Could of fooled me tbh

[stuck oar]

I do as well which that item is one that is purchased 1 at a time, hence my confusion.

Unless "knowing" it just means to have purchased the item at least once?

[violet copper]

Let me check in about that - it may be a bit before the team that handles those items are in, but I will follow up.

[marsh depot]

Didn't know we traveled back in time /lh

[fiery perch]

(pinging @violet copper so she can see that the patch notes shows the wrong date ^ )

[violet copper]

Thx! Will get that updated.

[pallid ferry]

Brb going put signs with names on top of all my Yardwork Terraces so that I "know" them.

[stuck oar]

Thanks a million Especially for answering questions this early in the morning. It's greatly appreciated.

[marsh depot]

Pavers have been fixed, apparently, hopefully

[heavy cedar]

this is a pretty mid update but it seems like they focused on bug fixings so 🤞 🤞

[young plank]

Ngl I might need to watch that movie now 😂

[marsh depot]

I was trying to see if there was any word on the patch notes regarding the fireworks in the Underground and all I could catch was this.

But I'm unsure if it's related or not. Or I missed something else elsewhere.

[fiery perch]

Re-reading and looking at this and comparing the Terrace, i believe it might just mean being able to purchase them. Since you have to unlock all the writs to be able to purchase them at all?

(ofc, i know youre asking lacie and waiting for her response, but this is what makes sense to me )

[fiery perch]

Yeah, I'm not sure ... would be nice to have a warning of the firework issue if it's still a thing. Esp since, if that is in relation to the fireworks in the underground, it isnt very clear

[pallid ferry]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Rest XP. Does this apply to only the Paths, or to skills as well? Does it accumulate regardless of status, or only when online? When activated, does the Rest XP work on a timer, or will it stop when a certain amount of XP is accumulated?

I see cake parties re-emerging as a swift-leveling activity again....

[marsh depot]

Yeah same, I also don't know how to feel if they're going with that explanation, similar to how support would respond regarding the snowball flashbangs.

[fiery perch]

The way I'm reading it, it's specificall yfor the Lunar Pass XP. And, if it works similar to how like.. on WoW-- it's a specific amount that has to be used up, and it accumulates when you're offline.

Ofc, not sure if it's the same here, but that's how it works on WoW at the very least

[pallid ferry]

While Lunar Paths did seem slow, I think they pulled a starstone and made more adjustments than neccessary. I feel like JUST letting regular xp gain count towards Path progression would have been a good first adjustment.

Then next month if they felt it was needed, add in Rest XP.

[fiery perch]

It might also just be a bit strange, considering this Path is a lot shorter than the previous one. So it might also finish faster bc of that

[lyric night]

as mentioned in the patchnotes: only Lunar XP, accumulates for up to 24 hours regardless of status, it's stored until used up.

[pallid ferry]

I find it odd that they "have their eyes on furniture making" in regards to the XP. Look, if someone wants to grind out enough resources to craft the super high XP items to progress fast, thats a multi-step process that I commend them on.

Cooking parties are what I'd be watching.

[marsh depot]

Man I can't wait to get my bellflower chair! So exciting /s

As if I don't have like 20 of those already

[pallid ferry]

It's not a sofa, just a chair.

[marsh depot]

Yeah chair, semantics. Same sentiment.

[heavy cedar]

i mean the resource grinding has to go somewhere, and with the amount of decoraters + weeklies requirements. furniture would not be bad for xp gains for a lot fo people

[lyric night]

they occasionally mess up xp from furniture
so maybe it's just a note for them to check xp values /lh

[marsh depot]

Except those who don't care for decorating I guess for a solo activity is fine but it reminds me of when people would craft multiples of a specific item just to complete the weeklies

[pallid ferry]

Anyone else feel like S6 forgot what a cardigan looks like? there's a severe lack of buttons and openness.

[marsh depot]

It's a sweater. Change my mind.

[obtuse frost]

Yeah not a fan of the 'cardigan'. It's a sweater if it doesn't have buttons and openness

[fiery perch]

I still can't unsee that one having an axe on it. (I know it's a bow and it just has the line from the shirt..? clothing? whatever lining up to make it look like that, but still.)

[pallid ferry]

I had to look twice, b/c I thought we already had that sweater design in-game, just a different pattern.

[marsh depot]

Actually wait. It looks really similar to one of those LNY wallpapers.

[lyric night]

also something about the path rewards which doesn't make any sense:
they are introducing Super Lucky Prizes to ensure a highvalue item from the zeki machine pool, but include zeki coins in the path

like they configurated the item, then use it. lol

but at least they are using the path to include past fomo items so.. that's positive at least

[pallid ferry]

We're dressed in house.

[fiery perch]

This one: https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Noble_Bloom_Wallpaper

[pallid ferry]

Hide and seek is about to be so easy.

[marsh depot]

They look more like cardigans they almost look like a qipao top/sweater. Which is cool but, not a cardigan.

[obtuse frost]

It looks like something golf people wear which isn't called a cardigan to my knowledge. More like long sleeve version of golf polo shirts

[marsh depot]

This makes me think of the Pink Panthers inspector

[fiery perch]

yeah, they honestly just looke like sweatshirts i buy lol ,they dont make me think of cardigans at all

[marsh depot]

I guess the yatch club outfit has a new competitor

[pallid ferry]

They ARE going golfing! Bet the pants end before the ankle and the shoes are loafers

[fiery perch]

It did make me laugh that at the top of the patch notes it said; "Get snug and stylish on the Lunar Path with the new Path of the Cardigan, inspired by cozy sweaters and Grandpa-core charm!"

(And realizign they also called them sweaters)

[marsh depot]

I can't lmao

[pallid ferry]

Not quite golf approved footwear.

[obtuse frost]

lmao true. I just feel like they don't know what real fashion is for the regular, daily people. This is all 'high' class yacht people style clothing imo

but def not cardigans

[pallid ferry]

Hey those Snowy Socialite coats look great though. If they came with lettuce, I'd buy them.

[marsh depot]

Omg it's really a golf outfit. Except for the pants maybe.

[fiery perch]

I do like those socks but that's cuz im a sucker for things that look like sunflowers, and patterned socks.

Also, why is that one such low rez compared to the other one. I cant tell what the first flowers are supposed to be 🥺

[static belfry]

What does S6 have against shoes I have liked an outfit, but one look at shoes and it’s a no-no

[marsh depot]

I'm gonna say, even at the country club I don't think people would wear this

Or I don't think I ever saw someone there who'd think this is peak fashion

[lunar epoch]

is the bulletin board switching today?

[obtuse frost]

lmao I was about to say that too. Most people don't wear those nowadays

[marsh depot]

Which one again?

[obtuse frost]

I just wish they actually would research what is actual comfy/cozy clothing. Things people would actually buy to wear in-game cosmetics wise

[pallid ferry]

I wear the default pants b/c they're one of the few with thigh-high boots. Need more tall boots!

[fiery perch]

They're okey. Not my favourite or style, but i can see the appeal with these

[marsh depot]

They really are catering to their big spenders /j

[pallid ferry]

Not a fan of the hat, but I can work with that top.

[obtuse frost]

yeah the pants are fine. It's just the top doesn't read cardigan. It's a sweater

[marsh depot]

Burberry wants to have a word

I kinda dig it but, they def went with the ski wife and golf grandpa trends with these ones

[fiery perch]

The red one reminds me of like... vampire hunters?? Like, how some ppl portray them wearing a red outfit-- like red coat and stuff.

[pallid ferry]

Now we have a masc winter fur coat and a fem one.

[fiery perch]

I cant think of who specifically I'm thinking of, but it's something. I just know i looked at it and was like, "oh we're going vampire hunting, neat"

[marsh depot]

The girl from the Vall Hellsing movie? I forgot her name

[obtuse frost]

lol that's what I was thinking too. Honestly wouldn't mind that for my avatar since she wears those colors, but the hat is not cool. Would choose a different hat with it or leave without.

[marsh depot]

Actually this is something Cordelia from Buffy would probably wear

[fiery perch]

Maybe or Alucard from it

[fiery perch]

Hmm, potentially yes , I can see that

[marsh depot]

So how's the bingo going? 👀

Seems palgen is doing fine aside from the usual "devs need to eat"

[pallid ferry]

How do we feel about the bug list?

[obtuse frost]

god I saw that and face palmed...hate to see that people are still saying that.

[fiery perch]

Guild shops get inventory too btw

[obtuse frost]

If you know how business structures work, the corps get the most money and devs get paid a steady salary

[pallid ferry]

wait... Do we not want them fed? Is there a hidden meaning?

[fiery perch]

The Leafy Green tint is in the Gradening guild store, and the Paddock one is int he Ranching one

[pallid ferry]

Gradening. I do love Gradening.

[marsh depot]

Whenever I see that I always want to reply with "guess what, so do I".

[pallid ferry]

ohhhhh. Question withdrawn.

[marsh depot]

Would PNG sweater count if they reused the wallpaper? /j

[obtuse frost]

same

[pallid ferry]

They at least dressed it up and added diff colors to it, so more than 20 minutes of effort was spent.

[marsh depot]

But I digress, I guess I will keep feeding Infold for the time being

[fiery perch]

ooh, I actually counted that 👀 , but that's a good point

[marsh depot]

select color>>change hue >> profit /lh

[marsh depot]

It counts in our hearts /j

[fiery perch]

Also, treats having their own "tab" in storage is really nice now at least

[obtuse frost]

I would still have liked a 'treat/cookie' jar at the ranch plot, but 'tis good enough for me

[nova solar]

kinda surprised underground market firework exploit isnt included in the patch notes, but considering the timing of lacie asking people how to do it/anyone experiencing it and the announcement of the next update, yea i think it will probably require the next update, or like an emergency update like frog money or the ruby exploit

[pallid ferry]

At least I can finally finish the Kitsuu path more quickly and finally build a new main plot, since the Homestead houses seem to be on their way out.

[fiery perch]

I would of at the very least, expected and hoped for them to mention it so people can have a warning bc photosensitivity.

[obtuse frost]

I'm not surprised, but I would have thought it would be a high priority on their list.

Warn players of a risk???? Who do you think they are???

[young plank]

gen chat is uh on fire so ill just stay here. shivers

[nova solar]

in any case, its another month of avoiding the ug, or if you are like me and enjoy flashbangs for any reasons, ill be there watching as people attempt to do the ug exploit

[marsh depot]

I honestly don't get why a downvote emote is still on the server cause like, people who use it often do so in bad faith but

[young plank]

allow us the chance to choose which fruit so i could be like the blue one is blueberry etc XD i would do the ranchin skill just for that alone LOL

[marsh depot]

And I would've liked to see some more "warning" about the fireworks in the UG than a vague "may not display correctly on some graphic settings" and downplaying it in a way. It just feels like we've been on this same place before.

Or just don't make them count and send them to a different "farm" But like an actual ranch plot where they can just roam free for eternity

[young plank]

or make it so the ones that are to old not count towards the new animal limit? and then have a limit of how many of the old ones youd like to keep as show?

[half kestrel]

Oh yeah, Manak1t and I helped to find the exploit so the devs were aware of it and had video evidence of how it worked, and I can confirm the higher your grahpics the worse it looks, but its still bad on low graphics as well

[young plank]

look im a slow typer but same thought XD

[pallid ferry]

I'd settle for putting them into "storage" and being able to switch out. Animals in storage dont have breeding/age/production updated.

[calm fiber]

Alright, I just submitted a feedback ticket and I am going to share here because I feel like maybe more players feel the same way that I do.

I love that the dev team is trying to add new features to the game to keep people engaged with it. However, I would kindly like to suggest some things. Guild points are going to waste for more seasoned players. For example, there is nothing in the furniture guild store that has not already been bought or that I am interested in. This goes for hunting, mining, and a few others. I am hoping and would very much appreciate new rewards added to guild stores so that our skill points do not continue to go to waste. On that topic, Renown also just sits there, unused. Most of your seasoned players have already maxed out our renown on both shrines. I realize that new players likely have not yet. But these patch updates seem to be more focused on new players and it feels like us more seasoned players are not being very appreciated. One idea is for us to be able to exchange renown for Kilima coins, or maybe Zeki's prize wheel that is in his store. On the same subject - Maji Market. The rewards at Maji Market are old, we already own all the rewards from the Maji Market. I would love to see new rewards for these events. I love what you all are doing, but us poorly seasoned players need to feel the love too.

[marsh depot]

I thought from your guys videos it didn't seem like it was inconclusive or couldn't replicate it, but if you found something, great. Still would've been nice to see some actual words/warnings from S6 in the patch notes.

[nova solar]

we found how to recreate it, or essentially how it could have been done, i just refuse to post it because trolls be trolling and griefers be griefing, i know 100% they would love even a crumb of how we recreated it

[fiery perch]

Tbh, they became aware of it too bc of how many people were bringing it up in accessibility-discussions, and how ppl can't go to the UG because of it all.

[half kestrel]

the first videos we posted was when we didn't quite know how they did it first, then we found out how to actually make it work, did not share those videos here for obvious concerns, sent it to the mods who forwarded it to the devs

[marsh depot]

Again, if you found something, then kudos, but it still would've been better on S6's part to see something regarding it.

[nova solar]

not to mention, i dont wanna be responsible for essentially teaching the masses on how to turn the underground firework exploit into the average cs2 server and essentially more ug servers are just that, full of flashbangs

[fiery perch]

The main point is that it would of been nice for S6 to highlight that there is an issue and to avoid it. To have an actual photosensitivity warning

[nova solar]

realistically it was kinda dumb for me and miss in jortin posting those videos in public on the discord server, we really should have privately shared them to the mods/devs/lacie

[fiery perch]

Not everybody is in discord or can count on discord news/announcements when it comes to these things. So having warnings in-game (and) in the patch notes would be great.

[marsh depot]

Specially if you guys already made them aware of how it's done like you're saying. But all the mention seems to imply is that it depends on people's graphic settings.

[marsh depot]

I mean, they asked from them to be shared in game-help. But again, this is about how S6 is handling this.

[lethal granite]

i still have my first peki (herp)

[heavy cedar]

or just make x amount of venerated animals not count to the limit? i still have my first really 2 pretty ormuus and trufflets

[fiery perch]

I understand not wanting to show how to recreate the fireworks in the UG. And like Ciri said, that isnt really the issue or anything. (Esp considering they asked for this in game-help, like palcat said)

The issues is having it start to seem like it depends on graphic settings-- which honestly makes me think back to the snowballs and how ppl tried to downplay it and claim it wasn't that bad bc of it... (when in fact, it was that bad, no matter the graphic settings).

& of course, main issue, is the fact it just... it really needs to be mentioned & give a warning. I was hoping they'd at least do that since we brought it to their attention & even mentioned having a warning for this would be great, so more people are aware. It's just kind of disappointing.

[obtuse frost]

Yes, this^ At least have it worded to the point where they heard our complaints and addressing them ASAP....this has been going on for a VERY long time and I'm glad they are addressing it here, but would be nice to include in the patch notes as well...

[fiery perch]

I still think they should just disable being able to use Lures and Fireworks in the UG as a whole tbhtbh.

[obtuse frost]

Same. There's no point in using those in the UG anyways

Agreed. It's like saying how everyone is using FB/Instagram nowadays...that's not true. There should be ways to have news/updates in-game. Discord isn't the only and shouldn't be the only platform to get real up-to-date announcements/news.

and I know that they mentioned they are working on a way to implement it...but still at least have it on the website or something

[hoary steppe]

I feel like this has been said for years now lmao. They could have a more intricate launcher with news and updates posted there like most MMOs do. Just you try to launch the game, you see headlines and have URLs to the website posts so you can see. Cause, it's true, not everyone is on discord or social media 💀

[fiery perch]

Yeah, and maybe ppl do look at those social medias, right. And they post (at least on twitter, not sure on other platforms) show like.. the little "hype" previews for the upcoming patch. They could of put it there.

Showing that stuff on their main site, etc, too is also incredibly important. I don't know. it's just really important information, and it gets missed easily by a lot of the playerbase because not all of them has access to discord. (I know they at least have some msgs pushed if it's 'followed' via sixer-tracker, but again, not everybody has discord.)

And just overall having a way to show it in the game itself. Just having an actual photosensitivity warning.

[obtuse frost]

They have bsky, but again not everyone is on there...and even then whoever is doing social media isn't always on or posts stuff immediately

[fiery perch]

Yeah, the posts def seem like they are scheduled

[obtuse frost]

twitter/x is pretty much dead...most artists have left that site imo

[fiery perch]

I agree, but it's the one that shows up in the social-feed here, which is why I metnioned it

As an artist, I don't support the use of that site for... reasons

[dark moon]

Lol the outfit is actually 3400

[obtuse frost]

figured...gonna wait til it is on sale per usual

I just don't understand. That's like $35 USD for a digital cosmetic...why price it so high

[nova solar]

average microtransaction pricing

[marsh depot]

There's still games with cheaper microtransactions though

[marsh depot]

At least they don't have $500 dollar skins like in League! /j

[young plank]

but even then i feel like if they were smarter about how they pushed the sales and allowed us to make our own pack deals by picking what we want i would gladly pay 35-40 dollars.

[fiery perch]

Just bc something is an 'average' microtransaction pricing, doesn't mean it's great or should be a thing. Esp cuz Palia's prices have increased overtime.

[static belfry]

When do micro transactions become mega transactions

[dark moon]

Make Micro-Transactions Micro Again

I'd seriously would spend more

[heavy cedar]

or make more of the packs

[marsh depot]

It's how I ended up spending 50 dollars in Nikki in total.

[fiery perch]

And tbh, i get cheaper cosmetics in like, Fortnite (i know, it's jsut a skin and you can't mix and match but still), WoW*. Even Diablo 4 has cheaper cosmetics, if i recall

*Not counting that limited time mount that WoW had. I want to mention, that one was def up there lol

[marsh depot]

If they were more like the capsule bundle, sure.

[young plank]

i may or may not of spent like 60 dollars monthly on nikki cause the deals were soooo good XD god i miss that game but not enough to redownload it XD

[dark moon]

As a convention artist I cant tell you how often people would rather buy 10 small items that cost more than 1 large item

[pallid ferry]

When I didn't have access to my PC and could only play on my Switch, I felt SO out of the loop on what was going on.

[obtuse frost]

swtor also have cheaper micro transactions AND they have daily sales

[exotic abyss]

gosh i dont want to think about how much money i spent on Shining Nikki HAHAH
havent spent anything on InfiNikki tho (yet...??)

[heavy cedar]

i meant founders and starters lol. or do you mean make the pack contents more like the capsule bundle?

[dark moon]

Tbh I dont like their bundle options...

[pallid ferry]

Yeah it's so much easier to drop that $1/$2/$5 bundles a couple times a month on that service than spend the same amount on Palia.

[fiery perch]

Honestly tho, like I think more things would sell if they split some pieces apart and be able to buy them separately. More people would put more things in cart & spend if they had more flexibility to do that.

[obtuse frost]

I'm a convention artist as well, but it depends really there because we are our own business. It's different though for s6 because they are funded and have steady income coming in.

[pallid ferry]

Make me spend $5 for each top/hat/pant, $15 on each one piece without accessories, and we have a dealio.

[dark moon]

Most of the animations are stuck to the shirts, let me buy the pants

[obtuse frost]

Same. I would love effects to be separate along with cosmetic parts like shirts/pants/shoes etc.

[pallid ferry]

Subscription VFX toggle when?

[exotic abyss]

yep, and if i was smrt about it, i could spend around 20$ in a month and get like 3-4 outfits depending on the event that was going on, and that was a comfortable number for me at the time
especially because it wasnt every single month

[cosmic mica]

Something about seeing "convention artist" makes me happy

[young plank]

omg watch it cost 25 LOL

[dark moon]

Its frustrating that their animation outfits are so popular, cause then our cry for VFX toggles fade further into the background

[marsh depot]

Gosh I never played SN because I had already spent so much on LN

[exotic abyss]

i was too young to spend money on LN when it was popular lol

[marsh depot]

FP isn't really micro though lol

But yes, i meant to make more bite sized and cheap option like the capsule bundle.

[heavy cedar]

with currency conversion it quite literally is in the space of micro transactions for free games

for me anyways

[marsh depot]

Well I'm sorry but in my economy 30 dollars really isn't micro. And again, there's games with cheaper micro transactions too.

[fiery perch]

30 usd/dollars def isn't micro imho. I get that it's worth it and has a lot in it, but I still wouldn't classify it as "micro".

[young plank]

for the price of a skin i can buy a whole new game on steam. I feel like mirco is 5 and under to me atleast

[dark moon]

30$ is 6 rotisserie chickens

[fiery perch]

Again, I can purchase stuff in Fortnite cheaper than $30 usd. I know it's different cuz again, that is a "Skin" and you can't mix and match the outfit stuff, but still haha

[marsh depot]

Like, does it offer a lot of value? Arguably yes. But it's not micro. It's the same price as an expansion pack in TS4.

[heavy cedar]

yeah my experience isnt your experience lmao

[dark moon]

Id like to spend 1 at most 2 rotisserie chickens on a game

[pallid ferry]

Not quite related, but my local ren faire made a post today stating that they would only be accepting artists and craftsmen that actually make the product that they sell, and it made me so happy knowing they're cutting out the temu resellers.

[marsh depot]

OK? I mean if you can consider 30 dollars micro, then good for you.

[young plank]

how dare you now i want that... and my car is broken down /j looks like im walking to the store XD

[marsh depot]

I'd rather spend that in a high end lipstick at least

[pallid ferry]

$30 USD is a whole game on steam.

[dark moon]

Be safe or order delivery

[fiery perch]

My brother is actually gonna be buying one tomorrow so he can make some green bean casserole w/ chicken

[obtuse frost]

omg are you at the same local ren faire as me 'cause mine said that as well. Made me so happy

[heavy cedar]

i literally said currency conversion

[young plank]

i might.. its cold outside so im on the fence if its worth the walk XD

[pallid ferry]

Maybe? ⚜️ 🐊 🦐 ?

[dark moon]

ZLC is no longer enough for these prices, you can barely afford their comfy clothing

[marsh depot]

I'm actually gonna go for a BBQ rottiserie place on Thursday and so excited for it

Yeah, it's just like the passes in Nikki. Micro but can snowball in a lot of purchases lol.

[fiery perch]

Stardew valley is cheaper, too.

SDV gives me a whole lot of stress, but I know tons of other people love it and find it cosy

[young plank]

silk song is 20 which is a decent price

[marsh depot]

Rimworld is cheaper too

[dark moon]

This patch also bring back , what exactly is considered manly? Cause they just dropped a bunch of retirement home chic

[pallid ferry]

"before and after the campaign"

[fiery perch]

I guess the knight outfit. Although they did label the "Cardigans" grandpa-core lol

[dark moon]

Free pie for seniors at the village inn

[fierce sparrow]

can you imagine the line?!

[dark moon]

Its just the player base wants manly outfits and im like, these are all manly except that winter time eshe outfit. So what is the parameters of man?

The yacht club was also manly

[obtuse frost]

I would argue and say that the drakonic outfit is more androgynous than masculine, but that's better than the skimpy feminine outfits so I see they are listening to us in a way 🤷‍♀️ I just don't see the hype in yacht club fashion

[dark moon]

No , say it louder for the Devs in the back

[dark moon]

With the way these prices are soaring, I feel like i own a yacht

[next tangle]

Agreed, some of the outfits are cute but don’t need to be a body suit style. The new outfit is a step in that direction

[obtuse frost]

Same which doesn't make me feel like spending much if not at all except during Christmas and birthday money wise

or like if it is a great steal price wise during sales like they did in October

[dark moon]

I no longer want them to explore different body types for players cause I fear the impending dollar sign that may come with it

[obtuse frost]

Same though it would be nice to have different body types than what we have now

[nova solar]

ngl seeing the battlepasses have different levels between each of them is kinda of weird lmao

at least the prices adjust depending on how many lvls there are but still

im so used to other games where they have consistent number of levels in their battlepasses

[dark moon]

I dont play battlepas games, but I worked retail prior to covid and sold a lot of ecards for battlepasses.

This would be difficult to explain to a family member who is trying to buy a gift but doesn't understand what it does

[cosmic timber]

so i logged in its is habit and i just woke up i was checking and my email and password popped up said create an account . It said it was in maintenance. Hoping it will let me in later....i have to go to work at 2.

[dark moon]

Maintenance is until 10am S6 time. Unless something happens and it is pushed back, they will notify us when its over on either #📢│palia-news or #📢│palia-status

[acoustic marsh]

I play the game and still don’t really understand the battle pass stuff hahaha

[frosty tendon]

hey everyone. if i wanna host a cooking party, how does one do this? have a plot just for cooking? do i need to be experienced? etc

[dark moon]

They tweaked how it works this time. Now, by doing your regular skill task, you get special xp alongside that regular xp. This special xp can be used on a special goal tracker where you get items after getting a certain amount. Some of the items in this goal tracker costs money, but you still have to do the goal tracker to unlock them all in order

[next tangle]

Make sure you have enough cooking spots for what you want to cook. Don’t need a separate plot, just keep the stations close together.

Other players can start the recipe if you don’t have it.

[dark moon]

Its like, in school when you get a star for getting good grades, and when you get enough stars, you get a treat

[fiery perch]

What was said above, but I'll also recommend making it more in an open area (like outside), etc for accessibility purposes. Other ideas/tips here if you want it to be more accessible: #♿│accessibility-discussions message

[acoustic marsh]

thanks for explaining. I still find it super complicated to understand “why” but I guess it’s an additional revenue stream. it’s a shame that the game is becoming so heavily monetised across every front imho

[dark moon]

And if your parents were rich and influential, your prize could be better than everyone else's

[dark moon]

Its cause they hired Mr. Krabs for accounting

[acoustic marsh]

I hope he isn’t getting a bonus this year!

[strong mauve]

i don’t understand it at all 🧍‍♀️

every game has a battle pass now i blame fortnite

[acoustic marsh]

do stuff to get points to get some prizes, and if you don’t wanna do stuff, you can just pay for it

[strong mauve]

so there are free rewards?

[dark moon]

Battlepasses are essentially time fillers. Nothing is significantly happening in game, but you still want people to log in and play

[strong mauve]

am i supposed to manually claim the rewards? i dont recall ever getting any

[fiery perch]

The silver lining with this, is that it isn't FOMO and it's permament. You dont have to worry about finishing it ASAP before it disappears.

[acoustic marsh]

yeah good point!

[shut grove]

Gotta purchase the outfit mesh for each individual body model for 40 dollars each!

[vagrant star]

Yes, you have to manually claim them in the path menu :-)

[strong mauve]

oh i wasn’t aware i had to do this! thank u. i’m a new player so still getting the hang of things

[little robin]

Yes, you hit a Claim button the reward you've earned on the path. If you don't recall doing this before, when the game is back up, you can check your Kitsuu Path and claim any items you earned.

[acoustic marsh]

I have another question! if I am still trying to find the kitsuu plushies but I switch to the new lunar path, can I still find them? or do I need to have it activated to be able to mine them

[dark moon]

No activation to mine them

[little robin]

The plushies are independent of the Kitsuu Path, so you can find them any time you're mining as a random chance drop

[acoustic marsh]

tysm for answering all my dumb questions!

[acoustic marsh]

thank you too!

[little robin]

Not at dumb at all, we're here to help and everyone was new and had questions at some point too 😀

[dark moon]

I still have questions to this day

Like will we actually find this snow cryptid for Elouisa? Also only a week to get 300k starstones? I know it says to buddy up, but not even Shelby is that great . Isn't the number too high

[acoustic marsh]

I’ll be glad i’m not getting more ormuu rugs tbh

[marsh depot]

We all have questions

Like when we're getting lettuce

[vast ridge]

anyone know when the maintenance is supposed to be done, im having withdraws

[flint igloo]

Maybe we will have a quest requiring 10 ormuu rugs in the future

[obtuse frost]

45 minutes give or take. Could be longer depending but they'll update in #📢│palia-status

[vagrant star]

It's 300k across the community, I could imagine it's possible... Certainly not very easy, but we got millions of snowmen, after all.

[vast ridge]

thank u so much u an angel

[fiery perch]

The only reason it seems high is because of the low drop rate/RNG for star-stones in general

[dark moon]

We got it cause they had to give us a bonus week though...

[obtuse frost]

yeah I would have preferred 2 weeks...a week is too short imo

[fiery perch]

I'm not really sure if it's comparable to the snowmen. Not sure what the drop-rate on those were.

I just know the star stones are quite uncommon/rare. I dont' get them very often at all when I go mining.

[dark moon]

Are they going to boost the starstone rng? Some people still havent seen an emerald or Jasper

[vagrant star]

Fair! We'll have to see, I guess.

[acoustic marsh]

we need that ruby glitch to get unpatched hahah

[dark moon]

Also is there art 👀 of this "snowy skitterer"?

S6 i demand low quality Polaroids of these cryptic bugs

Show me a glimpse of a flothinger

[marsh depot]

Man, people on palgen arguing about the etiquette again.

It's kinda sad something that started as courtesy has derailed into something so borderline toxic.

[dark moon]

I peaked in, dropped a few reactions and left

Palgen is a different beast on patch day

[marsh depot]

I really think they should get rid of the down vote reaction tbh, some people use it like it's reddit.

[dark moon]

Im over here trying to figure out if a snowy skitterer has wings, or if it has 10 legs

[marsh depot]

How about both, for true nightmare fuel

[dark moon]

I dont think they are supposed yo be nightmare fuel. I know for sure in my soul that a flothinger has wings, I wanna say 6

[fiery perch]

I wish they would give a few visual ideas or dsecriptions (even if it's Elousia thinking it looks like this or has this) of what it might look like. She hasn't done that for any previous cryptids, right?

[dark moon]

She gave vague characteristics for brighteyes and flothingers

[vagrant star]

modmail would be a great place for that so the mods see it :-)

[marsh depot]

Now this I'd drop 30 dollars on

[marsh depot]

Sadly I don't think it'll solve anything but thanks :)

[fiery perch]

Hmm, maybe the flothingers was mentioned in passing? (or the wiki isnt updated) but either way, i might have to try to look into finding those vague characteristics sometime

[dark moon]

You do a quest for her that involves auni and bug catching

[fiery perch]

The one with the trap, right? I loaded that up on the Wiki and I didn't really see any characteristics mentioned. Only that it incites chaos among stinkbugs, and that nobody has ever seen one

[dark moon]

I figured since I had to climb a cliff, it can fly

If I was a bug that lived on a cliff, id have wings

[fiery perch]

Perhaps! Or just really sticky feet or something , but yeah. I just hope they give a bit more info about those, or ideas/concepts that Elousia believes they have

Esp cuz if there is, would be fun to see other ppls thoughts on how they look based on that info

[dark moon]

Also what is a tuffwoggle now that im looking at wiki again

[marsh depot]

Now this is what discussions was made for /lh

[fiery perch]

Like what you picture based off what Elouisa said could be sooo different what I think of. That stuff always interests me it's why I was wondering. Because just based off 2-3 descriptors could be something

[dark moon]

Maybe flothingers are a winged spider, and since people are aracnaphobic(sp?) They dont have an image?

[fiery perch]

Oh, I mean like, text descriptors, not actual images. (unless Elouisa did really messy sketches)

[dark moon]

I would assume so since she mentions museums and academic finds

[fiery perch]

I agree. Just would be cool in quests or in random dialgoue, she would mention she thinks one of them has x feature or something.

[warm python]

Just got up, what's goin' with the new patch

[fiery perch]

Quick chat added, Small new battlepass (rewards are very very lack luster imho, disappointing), no mention of the fireworks in the UG (so no warning either), made a "cardigan" outfit that looks like sweaters instead, and called it "grandpa-core", pavers are apprently fixed,

Treats have their own storage tab, new pet/ranching animal added (ferris, which is the ferret w/ backpack if you recall), other ways to earn bpass xp (along with rested xp for it), starstone hunt community event (week long), new plushes (but you knew that already)

Edit: broke it up a bit to hopefully be easier to read. if needed, i can break it up more

[dark moon]

34$ outfit, senior citizen clothes, copy and paste tints,but also tints seem to be broken? The notes were confusing, uhm glitching seems to bd broken too, sprout plush comes from bloom event, rng the new snow furniture from rummage pile, 1 week to collect 300k gems for community event

[warm python]

[fiery perch]

@warm python these are the bpass rewards: #💬│palia-discussions message

[dark moon]

Oh and the board is to help catch a winter cryptid

We were discussing its potential characteristics, I think it has 10 legs

[fiery perch]

Also suspecting server merges to return, due to the patch notes mentioning them, along with a new known issue having this; "In some cases, it is possible for folks not to receive the 3 warnings for the server is winding down."

[tranquil pawn]

I feel like a lot of the outfits miss the mark for me. I heard cardigan and got so excited and then... not for me.

[marsh depot]

That's gonna be... Fun. Hopefully they have reworked them.

[dark moon]

There is gonna be a lot of bahari rage

Especially with those server take over parties

[tranquil pawn]

so many people complaining about lures incoming...

[marsh depot]

Specially with people farming for the mantis plush

[fiery perch]

This already happens. Pal-gen was literally discussing it earlier... but it's def gonna get worse, I'm afraid

[young plank]

yeah im going to wait and see how the patch handles first then ill log in

[flint igloo]

I think I'm going to let everyone swarm Bahari for the first couple of weeks while I do Kilima and Elderwoods in peace and quiet

[fiery perch]

It's why I linked the bpass rewards afterwards, so Rel could see for herself

[warm python]

what the heckie amount of crumbs is that LOL

[dark moon]

Ngl, I stopped being friendly in palia a while ago... no I will not leave this server so you and your friends can hunt a bug. This server may not be dead.

[fiery perch]

A nameplate is also under premium btw

[marsh depot]

So many breadcrumbs we can make an entire loaf out of them

[warm python]

oh god I didn't notice. Okay so. They're monetizing more and more and more. Cool cool cool

[tranquil pawn]

2 pages for the lunarpath is pretty sad

[fiery perch]

Like again, at least recipes aren't locked behind premium this time, but it's still... missing the mark.

And again, considering it's called "path of the cardigan" and ther's literlly nothing to reference that on the F2P path, and is only premium is...

[dark moon]

I dont want to spend my money on nameplates

Path to looking at cardigans

[warm python]

path to windowshopping

[marsh depot]

Path to the Golf Club

[dark moon]

All these really are old rich people activities and we dont even get pie

[old dirge]

Trello (or similar) board when

[dark moon]

2 minutes till we find out if maintenance is extended

[young plank]

Bets on it being extended by an hour LOL

[fiery perch]

I usually have my chat off unless I know i'll be hanging with a friend. (And even then, I usually prefer typing on discord. Palia's text chat needs work/scaling.) So.. I rarely leave anyways. But i do now, get so much freaking anxiety going anywhere near players, because of how the "etiqutte" has changed overtime, and how hostile players are. Whether it's groves, now Hunting?? and lures?? i just...

I used to play this game zoned out, and I would just dissociate and run around. And i feel like I can't do that now bc I might upset somebody and I don't want to do that. Just gives me anxiety and stress now.

[dark moon]

Ill bet you an elderwood flower

[young plank]

done deal XD

[old dirge]

It's not giving a cardigan at all, but perhaps that's just a quibble

[hushed topaz]

sighs

[marsh depot]

That'll be 30 dollars /j

[dark moon]

Im on a journey to see how much palia can be solo'd and to what extent

[burnt delta]

Palia is still not up 🙁

[dark moon]

If you play on a potato or have poor internet connection, it can take 90 min to chop a large flow tree alone

[marsh depot]

The Taylor Swift fans will be disappointed

[burnt delta]

maaan i just want to play game after work 🙁

[hushed topaz]

ive been soloing since i started its nice so far. dont know how far id get

[dark moon]

I stopped calling out heart drop lilies , dari cloves, platinum, elderwood cosmos... etc

[marsh depot]

Same honestly.

[pliant pecan]

I flare stuff but hardly call anything out

[dark moon]

Amd if a player is near by, I look at them as if they should call it out a leave

Literally would mine platinum, position my character to stare at the other player, stare for 5 seconds, and leave

[strange quarry]

Officially late now ....

[dark moon]

Its late!!

[young plank]

delayed! but only 10 mins not 30 XD

[dark moon]

At least its not 2 hours

[young plank]

now the real bet is if the game gets delayed again LOL

[dark moon]

I need everyone to. Stay in bahari so I can do the bloom event alone

All the cheeky sprouts belong to me

[halcyon forum]

10 mins they say..i’m so sure

[woeful karma]

can anyone explain to me about cooking party? im new and i heard from someone ingame

[flint igloo]

Sorry Shampoo, I will be there too

[warm flume]

You would sign up for a role on Palia party app (it’s a website) or check the parties channel here and sign up for a role/position

What you sign up for is the ingredient you’ll bring, and depending on the party you’ll bring a certain number of that ingredient.

So, if you signed up for a garlic role for a 100x poke bowl party, you would bring 100 garlic to that party and do that role over and over.

This video should help

https://youtu.be/bheUW5EyK7c?si=k_Fil9tZX3tz2o08

[past timber]

Are the new tints previewed anywhere?

[woeful karma]

Thank you !

[solar rock]

it's a sign!

[young plank]

ahahah called it! They added another delay... crys in a corner

[warm python]

[young plank]

oh its now live time to see what got borked!

[shell mango]

Again? Alright.

[fiery perch]

Shows News over on the side instead.

I hope if they have to add new things to it, it might prompt with "new" or something similar on it. (like if they were to add a photosensitivity warning and wanted to make sure ppl saw it.)

[old dirge]

the new Tint Copy feature has a lot of bugs, so if you're having trouble with it definitely check the patch notes

[past timber]

Weird we still have christmas trees on the start menu

[inner moth]

ok we get the ferris for a ranch animal- great, because it's my first and favorite pet choice-- but DID THEY GIVE US MORE RANCH SPACE? or are we - yet again- going to have to kill off valued animals in order to add another species??

[old dirge]

I didn't notice this in the patch notes, but good to see the in game Announcements tool now has a link in the lobby

[inner moth]

winterlights isn't over yet

[marsh depot]

Apparently not, going to guess the explanation we'll get is that it's due to performance issues.

[marsh depot]

I mean they also removed the Winterlights store so it's just getting more confusing

[inner moth]

if the issues are so restrictive, perhaps address that before adding more species? idk. it just gets to a point where there's no way to breed anything- which is kinda the only reason to bother with the ranch, really.

[lyric night]

okay seems like the draconic knight outfit has a custom gliding animation, explains the price at least

if there would only be a place to note stuff like this.

[marsh depot]

I agree with you but, their game their rules ig

[marsh depot]

Surprised it didn't state it in patch notes? I thought this would've been in. (still not worth the price point in my opinion at least but that's just my experience)

[fiery perch]

Okay. okay. hate that.
So, when you swap to look at an outfit that has special animations... You used to "cancel" it by quickly changing the colour palette. Now?? that entire menu is gone so youre forced to watch it.

I hate this. so much.

[lyric night]

yeah but at least it's in line with their other outfit prices and not like rapunzel and winter warrior

[fiery perch]

These effects is always way too much, too bright, and can immediately give photosensitivity issues. Why would they do this 😭 I hope ti's unintentional and it can get fixed, but ugh.

[marsh depot]

Eh true but

[nocturne ember]

My problem is: two mistakes: server maintenance and error 403. I just wanna see if I can play ever again ^^

[marsh depot]

Sadly I'm just not expecting much tbh, specially considering the patch notes having no mention of the fireworks in UG potentially causing issues or if they're working on it.

[fiery perch]

yeah. I'm honestly just. kinda baffled atm.

[nova solar]

looks like they finally mentioned the ug firework exploit

[warm python]

Oh?

[fiery perch]

Okay, yse, I see they finally edited to the patch notes. However, they should make sure to note it in game as well. Esp since some ppl already read the patch notes, and won't think to look again.

[pliant pecan]

strange, i saw it hours ago when they posted

[fiery perch]

I'm talking about the patch notes, and not just pinning something in discord

[pliant pecan]

yes, thats what im talking about

[fiery perch]

The ones earlier were only mentioning "Fireworks may not display the correct designs on some graphics settings.", and "Fixed an issue where firework sound effects failed to play while in the Fairgrounds."

I still have the one I opened hours ago open, along with the new one in a diff tab to compare

[marsh depot]

Is it the same as what's written on the issues on the discord thread? Cause that's not really a warning either tbh. It's just saying "unintentionally". I just got back home so I haven't seen the edits.

[fiery perch]

"Fireworks can occasionally be triggered unintentionally in the Underground." It still isn't great. It still isn't a warning for actual photosensitivity issues, but it at least mentions underground.

Like, It's still not great. I want it to properly warn that there's photosensitivity problems and triggers. especially in the game and on the main menu.

[marsh depot]

I still dislike how they're saying "unintentionally" though. Like, sure in some players cases it might be but proof and experiences have shown otherwsie.

Like I guess they mean it's not how it's intended to behave but

[pallid ferry]

Ok but... How are the pavers lookin?

[pallid ferry]

Bingo still possible?

Oh we did get dark green, right?

[fiery perch]

oh hey, i love how some of the stuff for the bundle board, requires the new snowy furniture, and i cant get that recipe because I have to have the Cozy camper set, which is... hey, EW/MSQ locked

[past timber]

The requirements for the new tints are a bit obnoxious

[marsh depot]

So close yet so far

[pliant pecan]

the patch notes say it was fixed, first one listed, havent seen tho

[pallid ferry]

That's... not at all well thought out. The likelyhood of new players having the RNG to get the right cozy things out the pile in less than a month is.... yikes.

[marsh depot]

I think? I still haven't checked it. Just got back home from errands (and got lettuce )

[old dirge]

wait, snowballs are required for the board but the store is gone? is there a new way to get snowballs?

[violet copper]

The news feature is continued to be improved + added upon, this is one of the new additions!

[marsh depot]

Does the trick still work at least? Though I'm not looking forward to overheating my laptop in order to get it.

[fiery perch]

That, and not to mention, some players who are literally stuck have expressed this so much and so often. Quite a few people wont' be able to do this.

[fiery perch]

Oh you're so right lol. Ugh.

[marsh depot]

I didn't even catch that

Man, talk about mixed messaging.

[pallid ferry]

I thought they fixed it so we couldn't force the recipes?

Bring Back the Winter Store! WE NEED SNOWballs

[fiery perch]

That's great, and I appreciate that. And again, really do hope you all end up adding a way to showcase there's something "new" there, if you have to add things. Like again, for example... Saying a Photosensitivty warning at the underground.

[marsh depot]

Welp guess I'm not finishing that then

[pliant pecan]

did they stop the sandy paws presents to get snowballs?

[old dirge]

ty - hopefully it's a enough to give to the board and make a bunch of the new furniture. feel bad for people who have to wait til november to craft it if there isn't a bunch

[fiery perch]

"elderwood mush light", isn't this also an elderwood specific recipe?? for essence???

[pallid ferry]

I did not anticipate "Make Bulletin Board RNG/Uncompletable. Maybe Lacie can have them patch the winter store back in?

[violet copper]

I've flagged the concern to the team

[fiery perch]

There's like, no reason for me to even login to play or even try to do teh bundle board because I can't access some of these items to put in there. This is really upsetting and disappointing lol

[marsh depot]

I think you can purchase them at Tish but, yeah :/

[fiery perch]

Yeah, they can show up, at least. But you do need ten of them.

[marsh depot]

Yeah I know Ori, I was just saying but yeah, I get it. It's not well thought out honestly.

[fiery perch]

It wouldn't be much of an issue either, if people/players could actually, trade furniture with eachother or an actual trading system. This would help prevent these inaccessible things/features that pop up and arise int he game.

[full ibex]

hi, did we need to buy the snowy furniture recipes last time? i did not...

[fiery perch]

Yeah, I know. I'm just like I'm glad there's at least one way for me to attempt to get them

[noble niche]

Does anyone have a picture of the bundle requirements 👉 👈

[stoic bane]

i can only do the biolumisenz stuff , i dont have alle cocking recipes / i dont craft furnitore items, so

[obtuse frost]

what food is that on the right that's starred and purple?

[pliant pecan]

baked flowtato

[old dirge]

yes and no

• yes - if you wanted to make them before next winterlights, you needed to buy them while the store was available
• no - these are the new recipes added this patch, so they are available

[marsh depot]

Man, I think I give up I might give a try to completing that furniture but I'm not looking forward to not being able to complete it because I don't have the recipe.

[pallid ferry]

"Can someone who started playing a month ago complete this bundle?" Is something that needs to be asked every time. The food items, alright, you can always group up. Same with hunting things. But they NEED to check the solo skills.

[obtuse frost]

I don't know if I have that recipe...

[still ruin]

Does anyone know if the one bug got fixed where you can’t place anything on a wall that is attached to a hallway? - Like I have a large room attached to a hallway, but it won’t let me hang stuff unless I disconnect from the hallway.

[heavy cedar]

okay so you are getting 25 snowballs from the rummage piles (according to various ppl in gen chat) and 100 for the first chest edit: you also get 100 snowballs from the 4th/penultimate chest

[obtuse frost]

Thanks! Do you know where can you find that recipe?

[stoic bane]

from eluisa rank 3 in the house

[old dirge]

thank you for reporting back 💜

[pliant pecan]

sorry its called loaded flowtato, and from elouisas room

[stoic bane]

the spicy rice cakes are from temple and rest is from cocking npc

[heavy cedar]

rummage bags are also giving 25 snowballs

[marsh depot]

It's kind of funny because it's also excluding people who can't complete MSQ due to accessibility reasons/Gales/bug/etc.

I mean cool we can get the snowballs another way at least it still would've been nice they kept the store for longer or they told in more advance it was going to be gone this patch

[warm python]

Obligatory "so how about that accessibility audit that's totally happening guys yep totally"

[lyric night]

with the change to the bulletin board rewards acquisition that should honestly not be the question defining the requirements for the bundles
especially bcs they were introduced bcs players wanted goals to work towards other than plush hunting

but the rng part on the pavillion and parasol is.. ugh, yeah unnecessary

[marsh depot]

Atp I want to say it's a hoax (I'm joking here but some transparency on this would be appreciated )

[atomic fulcrum]

The mantis plushies are cute! Small too

[heavy cedar]

already!!?!? howwww

[old dirge]

so they are aware of the limitations and did something about it

[atomic fulcrum]

RNGesus be praised!

[main bridge]

I don’t have the pavilion or parasol recipes so I’m out I guess unless we can get them

[heavy cedar]

congrats!!! please share your blessings

[little robin]

They are from Kilima rummage piles

[marsh depot]

Gonna guess it'll only make it harder to get the recipes then.

[main bridge]

Thank you!!!! I haven’t had a chance to look yet my baby has been in a mood today 🫠

[little robin]

No worries! Good luck with the little one 😀

[main bridge]

Ty!!!!!!

[celest inlet]

how do i get the snowy pavilion and the snowy umbrella?

[shrewd bear]

Would also like to know

[midnight granite]

I think the only way is to get the recipes for them from the once an IRL day Kilima Loot pile. I asked in general if they were going to have other ways to obtain them but noone responded.

[shrewd bear]

I think you can also buy rummage pile loot w Kilima coins in the town hall

[celest inlet]

both kilima and bahari? or just kilima?

[midnight granite]

Patch notes say Kilima

[celest inlet]

thank you willow

[old dirge]

Okay furniture rundown

• Summer Stripe Umbrella - a chance of being looted from a Rummage Pile found in Bahari Bay
• Cozy Camp Canopy - obtained via Inspiration from crafting other Cozy Camp items for the first time
• Cozy Camp set - purchase Cozy Camp Starter Pack from Subira's Goods in the Elderwood
• Yardwork Decor - purchased with Gold Gold at the new Landscaping Store register, located in Kenli's Office on the second floor of City Hall
  and then the snow versions are Kilima Rummage Piles/Kilima Coin Rummaged Goodies Bag

[celest inlet]

i been farmingthe loot pile all last month and didn't get one recipe from it'

[full ibex]

so i need to use the essence to buy the camping stuff from subira?

[glacial drift]

Does the full inventory trick for recipe hunting form the piles still work?

[marsh depot]

It's RNG

[heavy cedar]

okay so i havent yet gotten the base summer stripe umbrella recipe, so rng has to bless me atleast 3 times this month -IF I remember to check the kilima rummage piles- to get all the recipes to complete the bundles. It's ENTIRELY out of my control.... yeah i dont like this at all

[celest inlet]

and what happens if i dont get them this month either?

[full ibex]

i've been saying that purple essence stuff for quests, idk how much i need for it

[marsh depot]

You wouldn't be able to complete it, is my guess. I think there's that new item they added available for Killima coins to get a better chance, but it's stil RNG, imo.

[midnight granite]

Yeah I have bad RNG with them too. I hope there will be some other way to obtain those because otherwise idk if I'll be able to finish the board.

[marsh depot]

There was a way to sort of force getting a recipe, but it seems it been patched out.

[celest inlet]

yeah i tried that way and didn't work for me

just says my bags are full

[glacial drift]

were you relogging to server hop and get different piles?

[celest inlet]

you can server hop to get more loot piles?

[glacial drift]

Not to get more no, you only get the one a day

But if you were trying the old way to force a recipe you fill up your inveotry and check the pile over and over until it stops saying full inventory, because that means it is a recipe one

[celest inlet]

oh yeah i dont have but a few people on my friends list none to server sync to

[marsh depot]

Ammo bag also needs to be full of items that aren't awarded by the loot pile iirc.

[glacial drift]

nah you just log in and out...over and over and over

[celest inlet]

ill try tomorrow

[marsh depot]

Or, at least in Killima, you can go in and out of Zekis UG iirc, it'll put you on a different server.

But I could be wrong, I haven't done the trick in a while. But yeah it was logging on and off a lot.

It's just overall not great they've tied the bundle to recipes you only get from RNG.

[zinc sapphire]

Why is this lunar path lowkey terrible? real let down compared to kitsuu.

[marsh depot]

Like sure, there's players who will have them all already, but casual players who haven't logged in as much or newer players just might not be able to.

[old dirge]

no more bundle tab in the premium store, it's a best sellers tab now

[zinc sapphire]

legit my past few days of loot piles have been straight up a single vegetable. I was so excited for the landscape pieces so I could finish my winter plot. Likely will never see them 🙄

[glacial drift]

I'm so sad the new dragon armor is a one peice and not a top and bottom ._,

[old dirge]

yeah it's a mixed one for sure

• looks amazing
• 3400 coins
• 9 colors
• special animation
• included glider
• just a mask and full outfit

[dusky rune]

random input: ok so i think that this point, we NEED a whishlist system, because there are so many things i know i want but i can't even remember all of them.

[marsh depot]

Honestly yeah, for that price I'd expect it to be top and bottom

[old dirge]

plus the standard sort, filter, search - sometimes you're after something specific or just want to see what you can afford with your current balance

[glacial drift]

There is even a clean split at the waist, there is no good reason for it not to be two pieces :/

[dusky rune]

yeesssss omg there are so many qol updates they should make to the shop that would just make the whole thing more intuitive, and would probably make people more willing to spend money even

[full ibex]

what kind of free things are in the new lunar pass, if anything? i'm not able to log in right now, thx

[glacial drift]

The day they let us buy single clothing items and not full sets is the day I drop like 50 bucks on thing

[dusky rune]

maybe they feared the combinations we would make xD

[full ibex]

thank you!

[glacial drift]

Pretty Princess dress up is the WHOLE point! 😤

[full ibex]

i'm surprised its only 2 pages of items

[old dirge]

exactly - every outfit doesn't need all the pieces, but it should have a top & bottom

[glacial drift]

It's a filler patch, even the cash road clothes are just pulled from the other two you can buy outright

[full ibex]

seems so... disappointing

[old dirge]

it every outfit was modular and shoes were broken out too it'd be amazing (i'd love outerwear to be separate too, but that's a clipping nightmare so i get it)

interesting that a path doesn't activate automatically if it's the only uncompleted one - so make sure you go manually activate your path of the cardigan (the little lightning bolt icon will be an outline if it's inactive)

[marsh depot]

More in game clues would be nice tbh. Nikki has one pop up everytime a new mechanic is introduced.

[fiery perch]

I think having it actually say "active" somewhere, to showcase you have that one selected, would of been better.

[old dirge]

the banner says it with the icon there too as a sort of legend, but it's not super clear before that

[fiery perch]

Yeah, that's fair. Still can be hard to tell. Or if youre looking at a pass, have a button to say "activate" or something, so people know they have to do something else to .. well, select that one to progress in.

[midnight jackal]

So where do I get the snowy parcel? Because it's says it was in the presents

[marsh depot]

Man that's like literally that's just not great user experience

[old dirge]

the parasol?

Okay furniture rundown for 0.199 bulletin board

• Summer Stripe Umbrella - a chance of being looted from a Rummage Pile found in Bahari Bay
• Cozy Camp Canopy - obtained via Inspiration from crafting other Cozy Camp items for the first time
• Cozy Camp set - purchase Cozy Camp Starter Pack from Subira's Goods in the Elderwood
• Yardwork Decor - purchased with Gold Gold at the new Landscaping Store register, located in Kenli's Office on the second floor of City Hall
  and then the snow versions are Kilima Rummage Piles/Kilima Coin Rummaged Goodies Bag

[glacial drift]

Like I get them wanting to make you need to activate it, since you might just want to LOOK at the path and not switch, but it isn't obvious

[midnight jackal]

Thank you sorry I didn't know how to spell it. This will help me

[old dirge]

nooo my clipboard got cleared and I was building a list, i'll start over

What things aren't in the patch notes

• Announcements link in the lobby
• ! icon over the bulletin board (in person, not on the map) when it has a quest/new thing for you like with NPCs
• Premium store has a Best Sellers tab instead of a Bundles tab now

[marsh parrot]

Is the rainbow maji plush and the prism fish plush good?

[old dirge]

No worries - wasn't sure if I'd missed a new parcel item, it happens!

[shrewd bear]

Why’re the rewards for this path things we can just make ourselves??? Lowkey disappointing

[exotic abyss]

"Good" how? For me, no, because i dont care about plushies
Its all up to preference, some people love them, but theyre not like
Used for anything mechanically

[marsh depot]

I'll say it. I'm honestly just really disappointed and burned out.

The lack of an actual warning or heads up in patch notes regarding the fireworks in the Underground, only with a vague bulletpoint but still no warning.

Path rewards being really lackluster for F2P players, not even having a single clothing item available despite being "Path of the Cardigan" or an item that might be useful for completing the bundles.

Bundle board having items that are tied to RNG/MSQ therefore having a very high access barrier for newer players or those who can't continue story because of lack of accessibility/bugs/etc.

We knew this was going to be a filler patch prior to LNY but there's really little in terms of content added aside from, the board, the new pet and Hodari's event.

I just overall I'm burned out because some of the game decisions just don't make sense and don't bring a satisfactory user/player experience. And yes, we can send as much feedback as possible but it really doesn't help when it feels like it doesn't go anywhere in regards to things like accessibility.

[old dirge]

Yeah this one is rough for new players (they'll have to grind hard to do it in a month)and impossible for some of the disabled players

• 4 elderwood items (Elderwood Mush Light, Cozy Camping Set, loaded flowtato, starry bitterling)
• 3 rng items (snowballs, snowy pavillion [which also requires the cozy camping set], snowy parasol)
• 1 locked behind a temple bundle (Spy Rice Cakes)

plus some things needing skill leveling and medals

[warm valley]

So bad update its insane. Can't afford the draconic knight, price is insane. Tolls are onely 2 off them??? New battle pass is half things i can go and get myself.....what's happening?

[naive gust]

do we know if the purple shroom plush is finally in the zeki balls ? i stocked 600 coins since they announced they would add it to 0.199 and my storage is crying D:

[full ibex]

does anyone have a rough estimate of where the mush light is located in elderwoods?

[old dirge]

it's not mentioned and they said it would be added no earlier than 0.199 so we don't know when it'll be added

[lyric night]

price of the outfit is on par with other gliding outfits
2 tools for toolskins is also on par with other remodeled toolskins

there is nothing happening bcs it's always been like this, disappointing when it comes to their pricing policy, has been a topic for the past 2 years

[full ibex]

all i have from there is a pretty pitcher plant recipe

[sonic zenith]

I wanted to run this by the community here before giving feedback:

I already mentioned this in the general chat right after the update went live, but haven't been keeping up with that chat. According to a mod for now the bundles only give 100 Lunar EXP. I just completed the cooking focussed bundle and yes it only gives 100. That's basically the equivalent of 3 copper ores. I assume it was supposed to be 10.000, but hasnt been updated. Does anyone know anything official about that?

[old dirge]

they should be giving 5000

As part of adding these new sources of Lunar XP, we’re also embiggening all of the Lunar XP numbers - by 100x. For instance, Dailies and Bundles will now give 5,000 Lunar XP, and Path levels will take 10,000 Lunar XP to complete. All of your current progress with the Path of the Kitsuu will remain the same - just with these new values - so don’t be alarmed when you log in to find everything is bigger than you remember!
if they're still only giving 100, that's a bug that needs flagging for sure

[marsh depot]

Late reply but yeah. And also more fishing in the bundles, one of the least accessible skills. At least it's not the LNUF this time but, also still no word on the accessibility audit or anything.

[sonic zenith]

Okay, last time I opened a bug report support ticket it took a few weeks because they were swamped with reports at that time. I'll open one either way and I guess until then dont finish bundles unless you don't mind not getting the exp

[winter sigil]

i have a question and idk where to go with this. i purchased the Draconic Knight tool skin and the bow is not the same color as shown in the images and the store. was this normal? where can i go with this

[shut grove]

Are any of those Twitch Drop items exclusive? I dont watch streamers because I'd rather spend my free time playing the game myself. It's frustrating. I know streamers benefit from it and that's great for them but unfortunate for anyone that doesnt consume that form of entertainment being locked out of stuff. 6 hours is a long time.

[warm valley]

Yeah I understand but why are they not listening? Or am I missing something?

[marsh depot]

They've implemented stuff like the ZLC and the FP, but it's just how their monetization structure is tbh. There are a fair number of players who think the pricing is completely fine, so I guess in their eyes, why fix what's not broken. (This isn't a dig necessarily, just that it's a very contentious subject).

Edit to add, the ZLC was in part their reply to make cosmetics more "accessible" for some players via a daily subscription pass that gives you daily coins for a low value, so you can save them up over time, similar system seen in gacha games usually. But I agree that it doesn't really address or change the pricing structure.

[little robin]

You can submit a refund request to Player Support if the item is not what you wanted/expected. They can further help you.

[old dirge]

just shiny and smarty pods, unless you missed those two snowy items & recipes

[old dirge]

seems like the colors change with the outfit colors

[winter sigil]

i literally want the blue bow that was shown. has anybody else bought it? does it look whiteish as well?

[violet copper]

This is actually intended!

The VFX on the Draconic Knight tools (sword and bow) change depending on your outfit color. I believe the bow kill effect also changes depending on the color of your outfit!

[old dirge]

seems like focus really matters again - i've mined and foraged a bit plus turned in a couple items with no progress on the HUD path xp bar

gotta go pull everything out of my worm farms and eat it instead

[winter sigil]

oh, i see. thank you very much

[jolly idol]

The MMO is MMO-ing

[faint garnet]

it looks like Igris lol

https://tenor.com/view/solo-leveling-igris-the-bloodred-anime-slam-gif-7833112299911443921

[old dirge]

yeah it's not mentioned - for the glider it's in the store description, for the outfit I learned it from wizard crab in a stream chat, and for the tools... i guess it could be argued it's implied??? with the stunning hunting effects

[lyric night]

as always, lack of adverting features of premium items, honestly nothing new

it's time that at least they prepare gifs for patchnotes to showcase gimmicks/effects of their outfits and other items.

[marsh depot]

I was about to ask this too. Would be worth to mention before people start asking for refunds. And also for those who aren't in the discord.

[violet copper]

I'll add it to the patch notes shortly.

[old dirge]

"This color-changing glider will pull in one of your equipped outfit colors as inspiration" and the trailer showed 3 colors that did correspond to the outfit colors, but I assumed that was going to be 3 variants and they styled it matchy matchy

[full ibex]

that's phaelanx armor with a skirt from Dauntless

it was a quest reward as a chest plate

[old dirge]

i guess it chose one of the highlights from my top? and then yeah it's got a smoke or oilslick kind of animation on it too

[fiery perch]

Alt Text/Image description for the twitch drops, in case it's easier/better for folks who need it and/or use screen-readers:

1 Hour Viewed: 20x Winterlights Snowball, 1x Snowy Chapaa, 1x Snowy Garden Sernuk
3 Hours Viewed: 1x Potato Pod Prize Bag, 1x Shinypod Prize Bag, 1x Smartypod Prize Bag
6 hours Viewed: 1x Claw Machine Token, 1x Winter Flutterfox Plush

And once again asking for them to write out what the rewards are for the twitch drops specifically, instead of just saying "tier one rewards". Some people use screen-readers, etc, and might need the actual text for it instead of just the image.

[glacial drift]

wait, did they change it so tints stay when put in storage now?

[tidal bay]

I got the sprout and fairy mantis double loot luck!

[lyric night]

that's ur inventory

no they will still be removed

[glacial drift]

weird, I guess since it pulled this from storage it will change when they go back in

[lyric night]

yeah things that were tinted before they changed to the new system didn't lose their tint so players won't get punished bcs they had tinted furniture in their storage

[marble stratus]

😭 💜

I think I just died and went to heaven

[amber hamlet]

@violet copper I did not know that i needed to activate the lunar path to the cardigan path and didnt get my xp for the dailies or my bundle that i have finished. ign is high felicia.

[marble stratus]

🥹

[sharp pond]

hello guys, with the new patch, do you know if we can still get the kitsuu plushies if we minne silver/copper, iron/gold, palium/platinum?

[old dirge]

they are permanent, but still legendary rarity

[marble stratus]

I just realised my original lil ferret doesn't have a name
