Welcome to the Royal Highlands

“We wanted every corner of this new zone to feel special and intentional, with its own personality and sense of place. Mounts ended up shaping a lot of that journey, with winding paths opening up into sweeping vistas. It’s the kind of place where you might set out with a goal, and then find yourself forgetting it completely and simply take in the breathtaking beauty of the world.” –S6 Jaddua

Long before the world of Palia you know, the Royal Highlands were a place of royalty and prominence. The Enfields built their legacy here, shaping a region that would later be abandoned in the wake of the Unification Wars. For over four centuries, no one (except a few unique creatures) has called it home.

Now, you are among the first to return.

With the return of humans, the Highlands are beginning to wake. Horses roam once more, and the land itself feels different. There’s beauty here, but also something deeper, something unsettled. Even Echo does not behave quite the same. Amber Echo has claimed pieces of the Highlands, holding moments of the past in perfect stillness.

You can access the Royal Highlands by traveling to the De Mer Docks in the Elderwood and taking the boat. We suggest finishing your Elderwood quests and adventures first before making the journey. Stables must be discovered before they can be used for travel.

See you in the Royal Highlands.

Horses & Mounts

Once thought lost to time alongside Ancient Humans, horses return with the Royal Highlands Expansion.

For the first time in thousands of years, you can meet, acquire, and ride your own horse across Palia. Mounts transform how you move through Palia, opening up faster and more fluid exploration across the zones, especially the Royal Highlands.

Riding is designed to feel both grounded and approachable, so you can comfortably navigate the world while soaking in the scenery and enjoying every hoofbeat of the journey.

Getting on your (high) Horse

When you first arrive in the Royal Highlands, you will have the opportunity to pick up a quest that introduces you to your first horse. This quest is immediately available upon entering the Royal Highlands and is not tied to the Main Story progression, so you are free to complete it no matter where you are in your questing journey.

Finishing the quest rewards you with your very first horse. It also allows you to engage with horse ranching, allowing you to purchase, breed, and raise additional horses with both new cosmetic and functional traits. Horses you breed can be ridden once fully grown, while younger ponies will need time to mature before they are ready to be ridden.

This patch introduces several unique horse breeds, inspired by both real world horses and more fantastical ideas.

Dawnspur: Every player will meet a Dawnspur, a breed inspired by the American Quarter Horse, once favored by Ancient Human royalty and originally bred by the Mudan.
Akwindu Thoroughbred: This Arabian inspired breed is unlocked by collecting a wide variety of horse traits through breeding. Riding access is granted via the Riding License that comes exclusively in the Highlands Supporter Packs.
Phoenixfire Dawnspur: For those seeking something even rarer, the Phoenixfire Dawnspur is a mythical variant said to be touched by the Phoenix itself. Long thought to exist only in legend, it can now be obtained by progressing through Binnie’s side quests in the Royal Highlands, with riding unlocked via the Riding License purchased in the Premium Store.

Riding Experience

Riding a horse in Palia is designed to feel both realistic and accessible, giving you the freedom to explore in your own way and keeping the experience enjoyable. We wanted every ride to feel intentional, letting you relax and take in the world or grab the reins and focus on gameplay when needed.

Horses move through multiple gaits, including walking, trotting, cantering, galloping, and springing, with your full control over acceleration and direction. You can even move backwards if needed.

Keep in mind that riding at top speed uses stamina, so the more you push your horse, the more stamina it consumes. Stamina replenishes over time, but glowing Flow Sparks scattered across the Highlands instantly restore some of your horse’s stamina when collected. Running out of stamina will automatically reduce your horse’s speed back to gallop.

Horses can be ridden in most locations, including your housing plot, though some areas such as the VIllage Center, Underground, and certain private spaces will restrict mounts. That means no horsin’ around on the Hot Pot tables!

Here are a few ways you can customize your ride to be more comfortable for you:

Steering and Camera: By default, the camera turns with your horse, but you can change this to manual, fully automatic, or hybrid modes in settings.
Menu Behavior: Horses will pause automatically when you open menus like dialogue or the map. However, we realize some players may want to keep riding while they have menus open, like the map. You can adjust this to keep your horse moving while interacting with menus.
Speed Control: Tap up and down to finely adjust speed, or hold up to move as fast as possible. Holding S (or holding down on the left stick) will stop your horse quickly.
Stamina and UI: A user interface element near your horse shows current speed, controls, and stamina, similar to the climbing meter. You can disable this in the Menu if you prefer a more scenic ride.
Collision and Jumping: If your horse hits an obstacle, it will buckle and stop. Horses can also jump, adding another layer of mobility to your travels.

So sit back, take in the scenery, and fully take the reins in your journey.

Breeding and Ranching

You can now raise a stable of your very own state-fair worthy horses, blending both aesthetics and functionality to create your dream mount.

Similar to other ranching animals, horses can display a variety of visual traits, starting with realistic coats inspired by real-life breeds, and extending to rarer, more fantastical options that occur through breeding.

Each horse produces resources, including fertilizer and other resources, with breed specific variations.

Dawnspurs drop Weed Blocker, Water Retention, Star Quality Booster, Harvest Booster, and Growth Booster Fertilizer.
Akwindu Thoroughbreds also drop the same resources as Dawnspurs, in higher quality but lower quantity.
Phoenixfire Dawnspurs produce a variety of spicy foods!

Horses can also generate or inherit functional traits that affect behavior and performance. Traits often come in pairs. For example, “Wild” horses move faster but turn slightly slower, “Bulldozers” move quickly with reduced turning, “Marathoners” manage stamina better but move a little slower, etc.

Other traits like Steady, Fancy Feet, and Technical offer different balances of speed, stamina, and handling.

Through careful and selective horse breeding, you can combine both aesthetic traits with performance buffs to produce horses that are faster, more agile, or more enduring to create your dream steed.

Additionally, we’ve introduced Horse Treats that provide additional ways to influence breeding outcomes.

Rider’s Pedigree Cookie: Increases the likelihood that riding traits will be passed down to offspring.
Rider’s Reroll Cookie: Allows you to replace riding traits on a horse, useful if your mount is too unruly or not unruly enough.
Rider’s Trait Cookie: Increases the chance that new riding traits will spontaneously appear, giving advanced breeders even more control over their stable’s potential.

Quest and Villager Updates

The Royal Highlands continues our Main Story with a brand new chapter, alongside a fresh set of side quests and a new face you will come to know along the way. This chapter picks up directly where the Elderwood leaves off, so you will need to complete the Elderwood quests before continuing forward in the story.

There is plenty to discover, plenty to piece together, and of course, new rewards to earn to celebrate your progress.

Main Story Chapter and Side Quests

The main story pushes you towards the source of the Echo that is threatening Kilima, leading you deeper into the Highlands and the truths hidden within it.

You will encounter new challenges, meet a new character named Eshelon, and eventually confront the Beast of the Elderwood, where the outcome is in your hands.

Along the way, Guide Quests will introduce important systems such as relic upgrades and how stables work in this region.

Additionally, Discovery Quests can be found across the Highlands. These quests bring back Binnie, the trash collecting Piksii you know and love from the Elderwood. If you ever ran into furniture that perhaps had a little… too much personality, that was them. Binnie has found their way to the Highlands and is eager for you to help collect more “treasures,” rewarding you with items like the Aristocrat’s Set.

Each quest offers more insight into the Highlands and its past, along with a variety of rewards to commemorate your journey.

Meet Eshelon

Eshelon arrives in style with a reputation that precedes him. As the first and only son of Duchess Kenyara Bahari, he was raised to succeed and has done little else. Whether speaking multiple languages, playing violin at a mastery level, or discussing state and politics, Eshelon commands excellence.

Now an expert at the Bahari Institute, he studies ancient human devices and strange energies. After being sent by the Duchess to investigate the strange explosion in the sky, he has begun uncovering something bigger and is looking to pair up with you to help continue the investigation.

Meet the Beast of the Elderwood

You will come face to face with the Beast of the Elderwood.

Enfield Artifact Store

Eshelon has taken a particular interest in the Royal Highlands history and the legacy of the Enfields. A history buff at heart, he is actively seeking out artifacts scattered across the region and will task YOU with helping to recover them.

You will begin collecting Amber Echo as you explore, with more details on how it works coming later in these notes. Eshelon uses Amber Echo to help upgrade your relics, rewarding your efforts with Certificates of Merit along the way. These can be spent in his shop on a variety of items designed to support your journey.

Amber Echo Store

As you progress through the Main Story Quest, you’ll unlock the Amber Echo Store, where Subira offers a selection of items for you to acquire.

Read below for the items and a list of their benefits:

Item	Benefit
Bootleg Pyroflow Mask	A bootleg Mask by Zeki, which works the same as a regular Pyroflow Mask. Great for those who don’t like hunting!
Bootleg Terraflow Mask	A bootleg Mask by Zeki, which works the same as a regular Terraflow Mask. Great for those who don’t like hunting!
Bootleg Aeroflow Mask	A bootleg Mask by Zeki, which works the same as a regular Aeroflow Mask. Great for those who don’t like hunting!
Bootleg Hydroflow Mask	A bootleg Mask by Zeki, which works the same as a regular Hydroflow Mask. Great for those who don’t like hunting!
Amber-Touched Tracker	Tracks amber-touched resources on your compass for a limited time.
Masked Creature Tracker	Tracks masked creatures. Similar to a hunters horn, this tool helps you specifically track masked creatures.
Royal Arrow Recipe	Arrow that instantly breaks Amber on hit.
Firefighter’s Potion	When consumed, Pyroflow creatures will ignore you and not charge at you.
Tracker Arrow	When used on a creature, the creature is added to you and your parties’ compasses for tracking.
Titan’s Brew Recipe	Gives a several minute buff that makes your pickaxe and axe insta-break amber.
Amber Bomb Recipe	Insta-breaks amber in a radius from where the Amber Bomb is thrown. Allows you to collect a maximum of 20 Amber.
Jadium Storage	Chest that can store up to 2,250 Items.

World Updates

As the story unfolds, the world around you responds in kind. After completing the Main Story Quests, you may notice several NPCs updating their locations and schedules as they react to the events of the Royal Highlands. While this patch does not include new friendship or romance quests, those stories are far from over.

Weekly Wants and Gifts have also been updated to include new items from the Royal Highlands, giving you more ways to give your perfect present to each of the VIllagers.

Daily Quests

With a whole new map to explore filled with new materials comes a whole lot more opportunities for Daily Quests. We’ve added a number of new Daily Quests that are tied to the Royal Highlands into the rotation.

Discoverables

Amber Echo

We’re introducing Amber Echo, the primary currency of the Royal Highlands.

Similar to Infected Essence from the Elderwood, Amber Echo can be gathered as you explore the region, but its presence is far more deeply embedded into the land itself. In order to collect Amber Echo, you’ll need to progress through the Main Story.

You’ll encounter nodes of Royal Amber scattered throughout the Highlands, and once you unlock the ability to collect it, Amber Echo can be gathered from nearly everything in the zone, making it a constant part of your exploration and progression.

Amber Echo Crystals are the physical manifestation of Amber Echo found throughout the Royal Highlands. It can encase nearly anything in the environment including mining nodes, trees, hunting creatures and insects. Amber Echo Crystals can be broken with a variety of tools such as your Pickaxe, Axe, and Bow and Arrows. Any tier of tool can break Amber Echo Crystals.

Although you’ll find some Amber Echo while gathering various items in the Highlands, breaking open these crystals and gathering what’s encased inside is much more rewarding.

Camp Sites

Campsites are scattered across the Royal Highlands, and each real-world day, two of them will be active for you to discover. These spots are little moments of respite along your journey, and they serve multiple purposes.

Each campsite includes a campfire you can cook at, along with a Traveler’s Cache that may contain useful rewards. Once you find and collect from a cache, that campsite will be marked on your map, making it easier to track down if it returns to the same location on another day.

You’ll also find rummage piles at these campsites, which offer a daily opportunity to uncover artifact pieces and other fresh finds.

We’ve also introduced new campfire recipes that are designed to be more approachable for different playstyles than traditional cooking. The Campfire recipes are great for players who are on-the-go and don’t want to head back home or engage with the full cooking system.

When using a campsite, you’ll pull ingredients directly from your storage, so there’s no need to carry all your ingredients with you.

Once your food is finished, it will be reserved for you for a short time before becoming available for others to pick up, so be sure to keep an eye out and eat up!

Aristocrat’s Set

The Aristocrats furniture set captures the refined, prestigious style once held in the halls of the Enfield family, showcasing elegance and opulence.

As you explore the Royal Highlands, you’ll be able to discover pieces of this set out in the world. When you come across a piece, its location will be tracked on your map, so even if you are not ready to unlock it right away, you can easily return later.

Recipes come from a mix of discovery quest rewards and purchases using Amber Echo, listed further below in the patch notes. We’ll continue expanding this set in future patches, so there will be even more opportunities to capture the elevated royal aesthetic into your home.

Vaults

Vaults are hidden treasures left behind by the Enfields, and now you have the chance to claim those treasures as your own.

There are 16 Vaults scattered across the Royal Highlands, plus 4 tied to quests, for a total of 20. Each Vault is aligned with one of four elements, and to unlock it you’ll need a matching Flow Mask of the same element. (More details on Flow Masks are later in the patch notes.)

Just like the Aristocrat’s set, any Vault you interact with in the world will be tracked on your map, so even if you don’t unlock it immediately, you can return and claim your prize later!

Treasure Chests

There are 16 treasure chests hidden throughout the Royal Highlands for you to find, with a variety of rewards hidden within. These chests are already unlocked and ready to be claimed, so you can dive right in and plunder these treasures right away!

Artifacts and Relics

Artifacts in the Royal Highlands are all tied to the influential Enfields, offering a glimpse into the lives and the ancient past of this affluent family. There are four main Enfield family members, and each has unique artifacts scattered throughout the world that reveal different aspects of their story, character, and history.

As you collect these artifacts, you turn them in to Eshelon, following a process similar to how other artifacts were acquired in the Elderwood. The artifact and relics system lets you uncover the Enfields’ legacy piece by piece whilst playing your way through the Royal Highlands.

Artifacts

There are plenty of new artifact pieces to discover in the Royal Highlands, each offering a look into the Enfields’ story. Most artifact pieces can be found in rummage piles and are tradable with other players at the Trading Stations in the Central Stables. A few rare ones come from the Echo Store or treasure chests and cannot be traded.

Completing an artifact rewards Certificates of Merit which can be used to acquire upgrades for your Relics.

Relics

Relics in the Royal Highlands are acquired as you progress through the Main Story. You’ll receive the first tier of all four relics, each tied to one of the four Enfields. Once you’ve completed the Main Story, Eshelon will guide you in restoring them to their full potential, now up to level 5.

Equipping a relic applies its benefits to all members of your party, making them a fantastic tool for you and your party’s adventures. Please note that these relics only work in the Royal Highlands, and previous relics will not work in this zone.

Read Below for a table of Relics and their associated benefits:

Relic	Benefit
Eloine’s Blessing	Increases the amount of echo gathered.
Belafontine’s Blessing	Increased amount of non-echo materials gathered.
Halward’s Blessing	Increases tool effectiveness.
Amadeus’ Blessing	Increase the chance of receiving rare Highland-specific loot drops.

Mining

Along with all of the new items in the Royal Highlands, you can also discover a new material called Jadium. This material is of similar quality to Palium, and can be collected via mining in the Royal Highlands. You can acquire the recipe for the Jadium bar at the Mining Guild Store.

Whitestone, Iron, and Gold are also available for mining in the Royal Highlands.

Foraging

We’re introducing a variety of new foragables in the Royal Highlands to expand your crafting and cooking options.

Dotting the Royal Highlands are Birch Trees and a new type of tree called Lantern Ash, which provide Lantern Ashwood. This new wood has the same requirements as Hardwood. The Ashwood Planks recipe can be found in the Foraging Guild Store. Lantern Ash Trees can also drop seeds which can allow you to grow them on your Home plot as well as rare Fossilized Amber Resin.

While you will still find familiar resources from other areas of Palia, the Highlands also features unique materials with brand-new uses, including special ingredients for the new campfire recipes detailed later within these patch notes.

Read below for a list of new foragables and their descriptions:

Foragable	Description
Dawnspur Lily	Once thought extinct, these golden lilies are known to be a favorite snack of the Dawnspur horse, and have returned to the Highlands along with them.
Royal Heather	Unlike its commoner cousin, the Royal Heather blooms year-round. When made into tea it has a delicate, almost nostalgic flavor profile.
Golden Fern	The Golden Fern has cleansing properties, known to remove pollutants from the air and from one’s body if mixed into tea. Perhaps its presence helps explain why Echo has not completely overrun the Highlands.
Royal Wisteria	Royal Wisteria is toxic in all forms save one- when gathered at a specific time and specially prepared by drying over an open flame, the seeds can be used to make a delicious, if expensive, tea.

Hunting Creatures

Masked Creatures

Echo has always been more present in the Royal Highlands, and as a result, the creatures have evolved magical masks in order to protect themselves and combat the effects of the Echo. Masked creatures all summon a shield. If the player shoots an unshielded part of the creature, it will be stunned for a few seconds and the shield breaks. But if the player shoots the shield, it breaks and the player cannot shoot again for a couple seconds. Dispel arrows are particularly effective, bypassing the shields. Each type of mask comes from a different type of from elemental flow giving them unique defensive abilities that require different tactics to take down:

Pyroflow: (Red) The most aggressive, with a shield in front. Creatures will charge at you—getting hit by a charge also blocks you from shooting for a couple seconds!
Hydroflow: (Blue) These are shielded on their back and are prone to fleeing.
Terraflow: (Green) These stay down until the creatures are alerted. Once alerted, they create a 360-degree shield.
Aeroflow: (Yellow) Their shield turns on and off in a 360-degree sphere.

Hunting masked creatures have a chance to reward their elemental masks as drops, which are used to unlock Vaults. Each mask type can be sold for a significant price and has a star-quality version which can also be used as decorative items for your home!

Item	Loot / Craft / Purchase Location
Pyroflow Mask	Drop from Hunting Jaakcat or Sernuk of that element.
Hydroflow Mask	Drop from Hunting Jaakcat or Sernuk of that element.
Aeroflow Mask	Drop from Hunting Jaakcat or Sernuk of that element.
Terraflow Mask	Drop from Hunting Jaakcat or Sernuk of that elementCell

We’ve also introduced two new types of arrows:

Royal Arrow: Instantly breaks Amber Crystals on hit with a single arrow.
Tracker Arrow: Tracks animals you hit and adds them to the compasses of you and your party members, making it easier to follow them.

Happy hunting!

Jaakcats

Introducing the Jaakcat, a new hunting creature found in the Royal Highlands.

These mischievous rascals are tricksters and thieves, and their name is directly tied to the playful chaos of Jaak-o-lanterns, which were inspired by the Jaakcats’ antics.

Jaakcats are quick, but they do not burrow and hide. If they get away, they will run off and escape until they feel safe to rest. Their quick rabbit-like movements make them an exciting, albeit less predictable addition to your hunting adventures.

Alongside the Jaakcats come new items, trophies and Accomplishments such as:

Jaaked: Loot one of each kind of Jaakcat Foot.
Halcyon Hunter: Jaakcat: Hunt all tiers of Amber-infected Jaakcats.
Elemental Mastery: Jaakcat: Hunt all four types of Masked Jaakcats.

Royal Sernuk

The Royal Sernuk is a new variant of the familiar Sernuk. Once a domesticated breed of the Enfields that were left to wander, these creatures have returned to the wild and have a distinct appearance that sets them apart from the Sernuks you know and love.

They’re also tougher than regular Sernuks, requiring more hits to take down. But in return, they drop higher quality loot, making them a worthwhile challenge for hunters exploring the Royal Highlands.

Royal Sernuks come with their own set of Accomplishments such as:

Halcyon Hunter: Sernuk: Hunt all tiers of Amber-infected Sernuk.
Elemental Mastery: Sernuk: Hunt all four types of Masked Sernuk.

Insect Catching

Across the Royal Highlands, players will find a variety of new insects to collect.

The Enfields once carried out scientific experiments on both insects and fish in this area. When they disappeared, the effects of their experiments lingered. The offspring of their experiments began appearing as the native species across the Royal Highlands, many resembling known species with unexpected changes.

See below for the full list of new insects and their descriptions:

Insect	Description
Enfield Moth	So named for its discoverer, Lucrezia Enfield, who ventured into the Royal Highlands to establish the Enfield Manor. She died of a mysterious illness soon after the construction crew broke ground, leaving Majordomo Enfield a grieving widower.
Banshee Beetle	Much like its cousin the Shadvaraak Beetle, it appears to be a genetic hybrid. When given a scent, the Banshee Beetle will let out a piercing shriek as soon as it detects the owner nearby.
Shadvaraak Beetle	Thought to be a genetic hybrid of a standard stag beetle mixed with a shadvaraak, leading to a highly aggressive creature with a venomous horn.
Blue Crab	Feeling blue? So’s this crab.
King Crab	Who made him king? Presumably, the other crabs. Only spawns from collecting shells.
Amber Mantis	Amber Mantises feast on the resin dripping from the Lantern Ash, which also gives them their unique golden hue.
Jewelled Mantis	The Jewelled Mantis is known to bury its eggs near Jadium deposits, then jealously guard the ore as its own. Only spawns from mining.
Heartdrop Mantis	The Heartdrop Mantis is a docile creature. It’s said that when one crosses your path, you’re soon to meet true love.
Mossy Moth	The Mossy Moth has adapted to the overgrown ruins that dot the Highlands by camouflaging as the moss that clings to the ancient stones.
Phoenix Moth	The Phoenix Moth is technically immortal- when it reaches the end of its natural life it engulfs itself in a cocoon of Flow, from which a caterpillar will soon emerge to start the cycle anew.
Whispering Widow Moth	Legends say those who hear the whispers of this moth will soon experience a great loss.
Flame Queen	The Flame Queen was once a Phoenix Moth. After reincarnating ten thousand times, the Queen emerged and established her dominion over the Royal Highlands. Perhaps it would be wise to pay fealty with a tasty tapestry or a bite of your favorite dress, lest you feel the Flame Queen’s wrath.

Alongside these insects come new Accomplishments:

Highland Entomologist: Catch every type of bug in the Royal Highlands at least once.
Master Highland Entomologist: Catch a star quality version of every type of bug in the Royal Highlands.
Amber Entomologist: Catch an Amber-infected version of every type of bug in the Royal Highlands.

Fishing

The waters of the Royal Highlands are also the home to a variety of new fish.

Like the insects, these fish trace back to Enfield experimentation. Some may look familiar, but are the evolved descendants from what once was.

Read below for the new fish and their descriptions.

Fish	Description
Enfield Eel	Was the family named for the eel, or the eel for the family? (It was the second one.)
Kestra Eel	Named for the river in which it is found, the Kestra Eel is unusually docile for its species, often interrupting conflicts among other eels.
Amber Moray	The Amber Moray primarily consumes other river creatures who have become tainted by echo. Perhaps it likes the taste?
Dart Eel	Known both for its slippery movements and its venomous bite, the Dart Eel is best avoided by all but the most adventurous of fishers.
Highland Sturgeon	Once this sturgeon’s eggs were highly prized for caviar among Ancient Human nobility. Millenia left unbothered has made its population explode, and its price to drop.
Ragdoll Sturgeon	Known to flop like a ragdoll when held, leading to a confusing experience for the fish AND the fisher.
Copper Sturgeon	The Copper Sturgeon is born a brilliant shiny orange, which slowly shifts to green as it ages.
Muddy Manta	The manta is not native to the Vieuxport Sea, but no one’s told the Muddy Manta that.
Major Manta	Named after the patriarch of the Enfield family, who had a special fondness for breeding the creatures.
Heather Manta	This species often bullies the other fish in the lake. Really makes you wonder what its damage is.
Fairy Manta	It is imperative you do not mix this up with the Fairy Mantis, especially when decorating their tanks.
Highland Swiftscale	The early bird gets the worm, the second shiprunt gets the cheese, and the Highland Swiftscale eats them both.
Lesser Snakehead	Dreams of one day becoming greater.
Ooh Baracude	So named for Dr. Anna Ooh, a famous ichthyologist who studied the unique marine life of the Royal Highlands pre-Unification.
Sillyfin	Come on, why don’t you release him? He’s just a silly little guy! He’s done nothing wrong!
Royal Betta	Royal Betta demand three times as much territory as other betta, but rarely defend it themselves. This often leads to days long standoffs, until one of them gets tired and swims off to find a bigger pond.
Jade Koi	The Enfields heard about Ancient Humans breeding their own koi and figured they could do one better.
Green Anchovy	Somehow saltier than its less green cousin.
Charged Cadinal	The charged cardinal can swim dozens of leagues without tiring, which is probably how it ended up here.
Highland Floatfish	These floatfish were headed to the Elderwood when they took a wrong turn, and now they’re too embarrassed to leave.

New accomplishments are also available:

Highland Angler: Catch every kind of fish in the Royal Highlands at least once.
Master Highland Angler: Catch every kind of fish in the Royal Highlands at star quality.
Amber Angler: Catch an Amber-infected version of every kind of fish in the Royal Highlands.

Campfire Recipes

We’re introducing a new set of fresh recipes that are cooked directly at campfires. Our goal is to give players an easy way to create food with strong Focus value for its cost, while still keeping fully cooked meals at your housing plot as the most efficient option.

“Cooking is a big part of life in Palia, but we also know it’s not always how everyone wants to spend their time. Campfire recipes give you a more flexible option, letting you prepare simple meals while staying out in the world and continuing your adventure.” – S6 Jaddua

These campfire recipes can be acquired from a variety of sources and use a wide range of ingredients, with some meals even selling for a sizable amount! While these dishes can be made at star quality, they are not placeable. We’ve also added the “Royal Food Taster” Accomplishment for those who cook these unique Highland dishes! Cheese is also now an extremely rare drop that can be obtained from a variety of activities throughout the Royal Highlands.

As part of this update, we have fixed an issue where Canned Beans granted more focus than intended. We know this has been a highly efficient way to keep Focus up, and our hope is that these campfire recipes will fill that need while freeing up your preserves jar items to be used or sold.

Be sure to explore, enjoy, and sip your freshly brewed teas!

Read below for a list of new campfire recipes and their acquisition method:

Recipe	Recipe Acquisition
Dawnspur Tea	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache
Heather Tea	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache
Fern Tea	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache
Wisteria Tea	Discovery Quest – Flame Wars
Lotus Leaf Tea	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache
Jaakcat Stew	Accomplishment – Jaaked
Anch’ ‘n Grits	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache
Rice n’ Beans	Main Story
Beans on Toast	Main Story
Breakfast Skillet	Campsite – Traveller’s Cache

Furniture Making and Decor

With the introduction of the Royal Highlands, we’re introducing new decor which encompasses the beauty of the new lands.

Jadium Chest

To help you store all of the new items you can acquire in the Royal Highlands, we’re introducing a new storage tier that will increase your overall storage capacity by 4,000. Players can now have a maximum storage capacity of 18,000.

You can purchase the Jadium chest in the Amber Echo Store.

Aristocrat’s Set

Lunar Path: Path of the Pony

Giddy-up on the newest Lunar Path: Path of the Pony!

This new Lunar Path lets you trot at your own pace while embracing your inner equine enthusiast. Like always, progress carries forward with no expiration, and both free and Premium rewards are sprinkled along the trail.

You can switch between Paths at any time and earn XP on whichever Path you choose, just make sure you’re saddled up to activate the one you want to gallop down next.

Here are just a few of the sparkling rewards that you can expect on the Path of the Pony:

Unicorn Mask
Ancient Home Line Pieces
Sticker – Eshelon: Come Along
Sticker – Horse Mask
Amber Toolskins
Sparkly Dawnspur
Plushapalooza! Landscape
Housing Capstone Increase (for that three-story home!)
…and more!

Get ready to hoof it on the Path of the Pony which features up to 21 Levels of free and premium rewards.

Monthly Bulletin and Bundles

Nai’o is over the moon about the return of horses, especially the Dawnspur, and he desperately needs your help in getting the stable ready. Nai’o is so used to caring for other types of animals and has never handled a Dawnspur before so he’s quite panicked and wants it to be perfect!

Step in and help him prepare to make sure everything is in stable shape as he prepares for his Dawnspur Debut.

As a reward for your efforts, you’ll unlock two brand new tints: The Royal Ruby and Highland Fields tint.

Kilima Coin Store Rotation

The Kilima Store has rotated for this patch, bringing in fresh finds and seasonal favorites while cycling out some longtime items.

Leaving the Store:

Year of the Naga Nameplate
Bountiful, Blushing, and Royal Blossoms Nameplates
Year of the Naga Poster
Year of the Naga Plush

Staying around for another season:

Vivid and Fiery Blossoms Nameplates
Spooky Spectral Blossoms
Fantasy Cottage Floor

New to Kilima Coin Store in Patch 0.202:

Floral Fantasy & Lilac Stripes Wallpapers
Pearlescent Petals & Eclectic Floors
String Light Décor Recipes
Roli Voucher

As always, limited-time items do cycle out, but that doesn’t mean they’re gone forever. Items leaving the store may return in future rotations.

Make sure to grab what you want before it trots out.

Outfit Dye System Customization

We’re dye-ing to introduce the new Clothing Dye system.

We’ve overhauled the clothing coloring system to give you much more control over your style. Previously, only a few presets for clothing were available. You’ll still have access to all of those presets, but now a world of dyes are at your disposal.

“We know that players have been asking for more ways to express their personality, and dyes will give players exactly that. You can take a traditional wedding dress and give it a gothic theme or change your Haute Dawg’s ketchup to mustard. The possibilities are endless and I can’t wait to see what the community creates!” –S6 Michael

Outfit pieces will have up to 4 separate aspects you can dye. In order to dye clothes, you’ll need to unlock Palettes. There are four available by default, but more can be unlocked, primarily by spending Tailor Tickets. Dyes now use the same Palettes as makeup and hair. While some players may have already unlocked these, outfit materials work a bit differently. Instead of applying individual colors, you’ll apply an entire Palette at once. This means you’ll need to unlock the full Palette to use it for outfit dyes. Once unlocked, those colors will be available across all relevant customization systems.

In Patch 0.202, this system supports all default outfits and a selection of our most popular premium outfits. Over time, we’ll continue rolling this feature out to most outfits, and we expect many additional outfits to be supported in Patch 0.203.

Palettes will typically continue to cost 25 Tailor Tickets each, so be sure to do those daily quests to unlock more options!

Lastly, we recognize that with so many color options available, acquiring enough Tailor Tickets can take time. While Tailor Tickets will continue to be earnable through their usual methods, players who prefer a more direct option can now purchase them at a rate of 25 tickets for 100 Palia Coins, or 200 tickets for 800 Palia Coins.

Be prepared to level up and polish up your perfect Palian look!

The Long Ride Event

It’s time to hit the trails and the reins are in your hands!

The Long Ride is a limited-time event that puts the spotlight on mounts, exploration, and Amber Echo collection… all rolled into one massive, community-wide collaboration.

For this event, every meter you ride mounted and every Amber Echo you gather counts toward a single shared goal: the Mount Multiplier. The more you ride and collect, the higher the number climbs. And we all know the bigger the number goes up, the better!

Here’s how the Mount Multiplier works: your distance traveled on a mount gets multiplied by the Amber Echo you collect along the way. Example: 30 meters traveled × 20 Amber Echo = 600 points toward the community total!

Whether you prefer a solo gallop, a casual canter with comrades, or an all-out Amber Echo expedition, every step counts. Organize riding parties, explore the Royal Highlands, or simply wander and collect at your own pace. Your journey contributes directly to a shared, growing total that the entire Palia community is chasing.

As always, we’ll keep you updated through the News Announcements section in-game and on the Official Palia Discord. Watch the Mount Multiplier climb, cheer on your fellow adventurers, and celebrate each milestone along the way.

The Long Ride is all about teamwork, exploration, and fun on the open trail, with rewards that are as royal as the journey itself. Once milestones are hit, all rewards will be delivered straight to your News Inbox, so every adventurer gets to celebrate as a whole.

The Royal Highlands are calling and the trails are rife for hoofin’ it. The Long Ride runs from May 25 to June 1, 2026.

For more information surrounding the event and its rewards, you can visit our blog post.

New Features & Updates

Zendruu Tree

Venture back into the Elderwood and stand before the ancient Zendruu Tree as you work to heal the forest and receive long-awaited answers to its mysteries. As you dig deeper, you will uncover more of Ulfe’s past, dive deep into the Elderwood’s scars, and finally confront the truth behind the Beast of the Woods.

Through the history of the Zendruu Tree, you will uncover the legacy of the Umbraan and the origins of the Beast of the Woods. (Or perhaps, beasts?)

Along the way, you will encounter Echolings, lingering spirits from Umbraa’s past, and uncover new clues about the mysterious stranger whose quiet interference has not gone unnoticed.

This marks the final Elderwood story arc, bringing this chapter to a close whilst planting seeds for what stories lie ahead. Plus, expect new puzzles woven throughout your journey to test both your curiosity and skill. For your efforts, enjoy enchanting prizes such as the new Zendruu Tree Nameplate, or unlocking the ability to bring the Wolpunny as an animal on your ranch.

The forest remembers everything. The question is, are you ready to learn the truth?

Ulfe Friendship

Ulfe may have once kept to himself, but he is ready to let you in and deepen your friendship. Once you complete the Zendruu Tree quest line, a new friendship progression unlocks that deepens your bond and continues the journey forward.

As Ulfe begins to confront the lingering shadows of his past, you will help him navigate the nightmares that have been haunting his sleep and guide him toward brighter dreams. This continuation builds on the Zendruu Tree and explores how it has shaped Ulfe’s story. You will be able to achieve up to Friendship Level 4 with Ulfe.

Along the way, you will earn rewards including a cozy Smores recipe, a meaningful sketch, and an intricate Orrery.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Ulfe and his story. Here’s to better dreams!

Path of the Tadpole

Hop on over to the newest Lunar Path: The Path of the Tadpole.

Expanding on the Lunar Path system, the Path of the Tadpole lets you earn rewards at your own pace while embracing your inner ambitious amphibian.

Progress carries forward, there’s no expiration, and both free and Premium rewards are sprinkled throughout the Path. Rep items such as the Frog Mask for free and make Frogbert proud! You can swap between Paths and earn XP on any Path at any time, just be sure to activate the one you want to hop along next.

Here are just a few of the toad-ally awesome rewards you can unlock on The Path of the Tadpole:

Photo Mode

Lights…camera…action!

Photo Mode has been updated with a cleaner, more future-forward interface that makes it easier than ever to capture and share your favorite Palia moments.

The updated system supports filters and special effects while taking your photo. To start, we’ve added the Sepia filter, with more options planned for the future. The new Photo Mode also allows players to add their favorite photos directly to their Player Profile.

Photos saved to the new system will have an initial limit of 200 images per player. You’ll receive an advance notification as you approach the cap. If you reach that limit, PC players can continue saving photos locally, though local-only saving will not be available on consoles initially upon launch.

You will also notice clear status icons that show where your photos are stored, along with a built in reporting system, similar to the chat message reporting system, to help keep Photo Mode a safe and welcoming space for all Palians.

Our team is also working on continuing to develop this feature, so please share your photos and feedback with us!

Get ready to strike a pose and say cheese… or Peki!

Spring Bundle Board

The Spring Bounty is here!

Everything is coming back to life after winter and the first harvest of the Spring is for giving back to the community. As part of the spring festivities, players can collect colorful eggs throughout their everyday activities…because what’s spring without a few eggs to hunt? Hassian donates his first hunt of the season, fishermen share their first catch, and everyone works together to recover from the long winter.

Contribute to the bundle board with Hunters Bounty, Fishing Bounty, Insect Catching Bounty, and Miners Bounty. Friendship and teamwork will truly make this season bloom.

Each bundle also asks for eggs: Red for Hunting, Blue for Fishing, Yellow for Bug Catching, Green for Foraging, and a random mix for Mining, Gardening, and Ranching.

Rewards include up to 6 Bee Honey Lures that exclusively summon bees (great for hunting the newly introduced bee plushes), along with the recipe for two unique tints, Amaranth and Dahlia.

Hop to it and let’s make this spring egg-straordinary!

Item	Loot / Craft / Purchase Location
Honeybee Lure	Acquired from the Bulletin Board.
Amaranth Tint	Recipe acquired from the Bulletin Board.
Dahlia Tint	Recipe acquired from the Bulletin Board.

Open Season Community Event

Spring has sprung… and so has Open Season!

This limited time, 14 Day event casts a spotlight on the Fishing and Hunting skills, with a little help from Boovar ranching!

Spring is a season of new beginnings, and Open Season is all about coming together to help keep the ecosystem balanced and thriving through thoughtful hunting, fishing, and ranching.

During the Open Season event, all Palians will work toward a shared community goal by hunting wildlife and collecting fish. Be sure to branch out into the Elderwood, as any animals hunted or fish caught there will count double toward the total.

How you participate is completely up to you. Track and hunt creatures through the trees, cast your line at your favorite fishing spot, tend to your Boovars through ranching to help supply fish, or mix and match your approach! We know not everyone loves the same skills, so Open Season keeps things flexible in the wilderness. Every catch and every clean shot helps contribute toward the community goal.

Open Season is all about working together to hit milestone goals and unlock limited time rewards with plenty of reasons to team up for hunting or fishing parties, or even just participate solo. Rewards will be delivered straight to your News Inbox, so everyone who joins the expedition can enjoy the bounty of the season.

Grab your bow, bait your hooks, pet those burly Boovars, and let’s all prepare for a reel-y great time. Open Season runs from April 24 to May 8, 2026.

For more information surrounding the event and its rewards, you can visit our blog post.

Ranching Acres Feature

Hang out with your furever friends with the new Ranching Acres system!

This feature allows players to store animals outside of their barn in a dedicated ‘retirement’ area. While retired, animals are essentially frozen in time. They will not age and their needs-bars will not change.

Retiring a Venerated animal is free, and removing an animal from the retirement area is always free. However, choosing to give an animal early retirement before it reaches Venerated status will cost 20 Ranching Skill Medals. Additional retirement slots are available for players who would like to store more animals. You may store up to 50 additional animals in the Retirement acres.

If you have unlocked a pet through a Handler’s License, you can still use that pet even while the animal is retired. There is no minimum level requirement for this feature, and it is available from the start.

Welcome the Wolpunny

Previously only a pet, the Wolpunny is now ready to join your ranch!

The Wolpunny is an animal that is native to all areas of Palia. While on your ranch, it gives you various seeds for gardening, including star-quality seeds.

It is similar in needs to a Ferris and is unlocked from the Zendruu Tree quest line.

Get ready to hoot and hop around with your newest barn buddy!

When redeeming a voucher for a Wolpunny, players may see a duplicate confirmation prompt. This is a visual error only and does not affect the reward.

The Copy Tint mode interface is missing its background graphic, which may make the control instructions difficult to read.
Follow pet animals with aura have less intensity than intended in the world environment.
Rooms are incorrectly blocking the placement of second-story assets when ceiling decor is already present.
Applying Tints to Decor items that have light sources (e.g. lamps) causes the asset’s light source to appear permanently active.

New Features & Updates

Luna New Year

Luna New Year has returned to Palia, bringing the festivities back just in time to celebrate the rocking Year of the Riffroc! As lanterns fill the fairgrounds once more, players can look forward to familiar traditions alongside a few updates and refinements that bring new energy to the event, while preserving what has made Luna New Year a festival fan favorite.

Maji Treasure Chests have returned and can now be found in new locations throughout the fairgrounds, offering both new and returning players a reason to adventure The Fairgrounds. Zeki’s “A New Year to Remember” quest will not refresh this year, but the Stamp Card Achievement has been refreshed for all players so everyone can earn rewards by participating in the Luna New Year celebrations.

You’ll also notice a change to the way Hot Pot works at the Fairgrounds for Luna New Year. Instead of the game ending when the deck runs out, discarded cards will now reshuffle back into the deck, allowing the game to continue. Each match will automatically end after ten minutes if no one has found three sets. The Underground version of Hot Pot will remain unchanged for now.

“An increasing number of players have been playing a version of Hot Pot that removes decision making in the minigame because it’s the most efficient way to play the game, and can lead to some players pressuring others to play a certain way. We wanted to try out a possible solution with an exclusive version of Hot Pot in Luna New Year to gather feedback from you all. So please let us know what you think about this updated version, and if you’d like to see it brought to the Underground” – S6 Forseti

We hope you enjoy ringing in the Luna New Year in Palia. We wish you a wonderful and prosperous Year of the Riffroc!

Luna New Year Bundle

Kenyatta is working hard to run the Luna New Year celebration this year, but things are not going as smoothly as planned.

Zeki’s prize wheel broke, someone tampered with Delalia’s sweets, Hodari’s fireworks went off early, and Sugarfoot is too spooked to compete in the Year of the Riffroc pageant organized by Nai’o. But who could it be?

Players are invited to investigate the cause of these mischievous mishaps and help replace the items needed to get the celebration back on track.

Along the way, you may encounter someone who has a surprising connection to the trouble.

Completing the bundle rewards players with a voucher to welcome a Roli, the newest addition to the Ranching skill, to their ranching plot.

Roli Voucher	Acquired from the Bulletin Board. Redeemable for a Roli at the ranching store. Unlocks the ability to purchase more Rolis. Requires Level 2 Ranching.

Path of the Shred

Grab your board and get ready to ride. The third Lunar Path, Path of the Shred, is here, and it’s rad.

Expanding on the Lunar Path system introduced in Patch 0.198, The Path of the Shred brings a skater-inspired twist to your time in Palia. Lunar Paths offer a chill way to earn rewards simply by playing the game at your own pace. Progress carries forward, there’s no expiration, and both free and Premium rewards are sprinkled throughout the Path. You can swap between Paths and earn XP on any Path at any time, just be sure to activate the one you want to ride.

Here are just a few of the items you can unlock on The Path of the Shred:

Get ready to roll your way to epic rewards. The Path of the Shred is waiting, and this one is meant to be ridden!

Welcome the Roli

A new friend has rolled onto the ranch! The Roli, an armadillo-like animal, loves digging and uncovering salt crystals, no shaking required.

The Roli provides salt that can be used in a variety of cooking recipes or sold for a profit.

Occasionally, the Roli can dig up Pink Salt, a special and more valuable salt that can be sold on its own or used to increase the selling price of any dish that calls for regular salt.

Players can obtain a Roli through the Luna New Year bundle, the Roli Starter Pack, or in the future via the Kilima Coin store.

Get ready to dig in and roll with the Roli!

Reth’s Soup-erb Bowl

Get ready for kick off!

Grab your ladles and fire up your stoves because Reth’s Soup-erb Bowl is here. This limited-time, 12-day community cooking event runs from February 6 to February 18, extended based on community feedback so more players have time to take part, and invites players across Palia to cook soups together in a foodie-forward showdown inspired by a classic winter kickoff moment. The goal? Cook a whole lot of soup (and soup-adjacent) dishes to impress Palia’s favorite flirty chef, Reth.

During the event, players will gather ingredients and work to keep the pots full and the bowls coming. Whether you’re hosting a cooking party with friends or hopping between stoves solo, every soup created helps push the community closer to the shared goal. This is a team effort, so pass those ingredients and keep that soup coming!

As the Soup-erb Bowl heats up, players will unlock tiered community rewards by hitting milestone goals together. Follow updates on Discord, news, and social channels to celebrate each souper achievement along the way.

Reth’s Soup-erb Bowl celebrates everything Reth loves most: good food, good company, and a really solid bowl of soup.

For more information surrounding the event and its rewards, you can visit our blog post.

Water Tower Officially Acquireable

Some sharp-eyed players may have noticed a very creative way to gather the Water Tower from the Players Ranch. We see you. And honestly, we liked it enough to make it official.

The Water Tower has been scooched a bit closer so it can be gathered without heading out of bounds. When you gather it, you will receive 1 Water Tower and a recipe to craft more.

Once claimed, the Water Tower can no longer be gathered again from the Player Ranch. Consider it a one-time find that unlocks future builds.

Thanks for going with the flow on this one!

New Features & Updates

Path of the Cardigan

Step into the Path of the Cardigan. The Path of the Cardigan arrives wrapped in vintage charm and quiet comfort, expanding on the Lunar Path Journey with a new cozy-forward theme.

Introduced in our previous patch, Lunar Paths offer a relaxed way to earn rewards simply by spending time in Palia, with no expiration dates and no rush to finish. Progress carries forward at your own pace, with both free and premium rewards woven throughout each Path. You can swap between Paths and earn XP on any Path at any time. Just be sure to activate the Path that you want to progress.

Whether you’re tending crops, exploring Kilima, or checking in on your Daily Quests, every step brings you closer to new decor, cosmetics, and lasting account bonuses.

With Path of the Cardigan, settle in, take it slow, and enjoy the journey…this one’s meant to be worn in.

Here are a few of the items that are unlockable in The Path of the Cardigan:

Cardigancore – Daring Daisy
Mullet
Sideburns #1
Sideburns #2
Cardigancore Jukebox
… and more!

The Path of the Cardigan will consist of up to 14 levels of free and Premium rewards, and the Premium Upgrade will cost 1,000 Palia Coins.

Lunar Path Improvements

Additionally, when you log in you’ll notice a few changes to Lunar Paths. Starting in Patch 0.199, you’ll be able to earn Lunar XP simply by earning Skill XP doing all of the activities you already love in Palia. This means those of you who want to grind out Path rewards separate from Dailies and Bundles will have that option – but things like Dailies and Bundles will still be the most efficient sources of Lunar XP.

With the addition of this new system, a percentage of your Skill XP earned will additionally be awarded as Lunar XP, applying directly to your active Path passively. You’ll also be able to track your progress directly on the HUD!

But we don’t want players to feel like grinding Lunar Paths needs to be a second job – so we’re also introducing a bonus system to help players catch up who don’t have as much time to spend: Rest XP! Every new Palia day (each real life hour), you’ll bank a certain amount of Rest XP which will multiply the Lunar XP from skills by 10x until it is used up. If you don’t use it, you can bank up to 24 hours of this bonus XP so that the next time you log in you can really catch up quickly. We think this will help make sure players of all commitment levels can earn rewards at a reasonable pace.

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!

We’re still learning a lot about Lunar Paths, so please continue to provide feedback and expect further changes as time goes on. Right now, we’ll be monitoring the new Skill XP source to make sure it’s fair and fun. We especially have our eyes on Furniture Making and how it contributes to Lunar XP, but for now it works the same as every other skill, so try it out before we make any changes in a future patch.

The Ferris Enters the Ranch

The Ferris produces fruit once per day, including blueberries, apples, and Piksii Berries, and has lower upkeep needs with hunger levels between a Peki and a Trufflet.

Get ready to welcome your tiny ranch helper with a knack for fruits!

Tint Tool Updates

We’re expanding the tint system from Patch 0.198 with a brand-new feature: Copy Mode! Everything you could do in the previous tint update still works, but now you have a faster, easier way to apply colors across your decor.

There are two ways to enter Copy Mode: either select the new button in the Tint UI while in Placement Mode, or use a tint item from your hotbar to jump straight into Copy Mode.

Once in Copy Mode, you can select a color and run freely around your space, pointing at any tintable decor item to see a live preview. Confirm to instantly apply your chosen color, and watch your space bloom with color!

We’re also introducing two new tints. Read below for the list of the two newly added tints and their acquisition methods.

Players are currently unable to enter Tint mode if they are actively highlighting an item while in placement mode.
Interacting with fences while in Tint mode may incorrectly consume or cause a loss of crafting materials.
