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.

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!

Top Bug Fixes

We put in a lot of work this cycle to clean things up across Palia. Tons of bugs were fixed, and we have listened to player feedback to make improvements in lots of areas to help everything run smoother and feel better to play.

Gameplay

  • Improved Ulfe’s behavior during the “Something Wicked” quest; he will no longer immediately wander off after spawning near the Echo Wall.
  • Fixed an issue where the Sensitive Stomach trait was failing to trigger when overfeeding animals.
  • Resolved an issue where the Ages Gracefully trait was incorrectly increasing aging speed by 30% instead of slowing it down.
  • Fixed the Needy trait so that happiness decay now correctly applies if a pet hasn’t been interacted with recently.
  • Fixed a flow issue where players were forced to exit the interaction menu before being able to feed an animal a second time.
  • Corrected the Overstimulated trait logic; over-petting your animal will now properly drain focus instead of restoring it.

Housing & Decor

  • Fixed an issue where the Tint Tool could not be used on the Ranch House Butterball Plushie.
  • Fixed an issue where players could accidentally interact with fences while in Tint Mode, which resulted in a loss of materials.
  • Lunar New Year wallpapers can now be correctly applied to Homelines Cubicles.

Accounts, Character Creation, Collections, and Wardrobe

  • Fixed a rare issue where inspecting items during a Home Tour would cause the player to remain stuck in “Tour Mode” after returning home.
  • Resolved a bug that prevented players from rotating their Pets and Tool Skins while viewing them in the Wardrobe.

Premium Cosmetics

  • Fixed an issue where Lunar Path rewards on subsequent pages would remain locked until players exited and re-entered the menu.

Top Known Issues

New to 0.201

  • During Ulfe’s Friendship Level 2 quest, players may encounter a progression block if Ulfe is inside his quest area as part of his regular schedule. Leaving the immediate area and returning should allow the quest to proceed.
  • Players will temporarily be unable to apply wallpapers to the Conservatory and Fireplace following the 0.201 update.
  • While exploring new interior quest areas, some quest markers that should point to the exterior area may temporarily point to incorrect locations on the compass.
  • Some of Ulfe’s greetings, gifting responses, and Level 4 Friendship dialogues may appear in English regardless of your language settings.
  • During Ulfe’s Friendship Level 4 quest, quest markers may incorrectly point outside the map boundaries if a player enters and then exits the quest area.
  • The description for the Aura Wolpunny voucher currently only appears in English.
  • 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.
  • On Consoles, players may become stuck in the “Using Stairs” tutorial after crafting Stairs. Workaround: Restarting the game should allow you to bypass the prompt.
  • Players may continue to receive a “Storage Full” error message when taking new photos immediately after deleting images from their Album. Note: The new photos are still being saved correctly despite the error message.
  • On Switch, thumbnail images in the Photo Album may appear as solid white blocks after scrolling through a large collection. The images will still display correctly when selected individually.
  • When attempting to take a photo with a completely full Album, players may see an erroneous error message.
  • The button to remove a photo from a player profile incorrectly displays the text “Removing from Profile…” instead of “Remove from Profile.”
  • The Rainbow Frogbert Plush currently lacks collision, allowing players to walk through it when placed on a housing plot.
  • In certain languages, the text for the Collections menu tabs may extend beyond the edge of the screen.
  • Players may notice a discrepancy between the names of Roli pet variants in the Premium Store compared to how they appear in the Collections menu.
  • The Fun Guy pants are erroneously displaying the wrong material.
  • In some cases, Tailor Tickets may not appear in the currency tab after being claimed.

Other Issues

  • Large decor items, such as Game boards, may have issues being placed across two Home Line building rooftops.
  • Several rugs cannot be placed in Yardwork large and medium terraces.
  • The Estate Rooftop can overlap with the Estate Roof Connector when placed in placement mode.
  • Quick chat does not send into the chat if whisper is selected, but this will be fixed in a patch in the near future.
  • In some cases, Character Profiles do not respect the toggles of the equipped outfit.
  • Players can incorrectly open the Tint Options menu using hotkeys while already in Copy Tint mode, which may cause overlapping UI.
  • Players are currently unable to enter Tint mode if they are actively highlighting an item while in placement mode.
  • Visiting players with “Visitor” or “Editor” permissions are not receiving a notification explaining they do not have permission to use Copy Tint mode.
  • 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.
  • Acquiring Animal Starter Bundle items when a player’s inventory is full causes the items to be incorrectly routed directly to storage instead of the inventory overflow.
  • Home Tour plot names sometimes don’t update after you change them, if the plot has already been submitted to Home Tours.
  • Moving objects with attached pieces can cause visual glitches. When moving a parent object with items connected to its socket, the socket itself may stay behind visually.
  • The Social Panel may get stuck on screen if you open and close the Map and Premium Store quickly.
  • Fireworks may not display the correct designs on some graphics settings.
  • Placing buildings or cubicle pieces directly on top of your character causes your character to get stuck.
  • The action bar UI may disappear while navigating your Home Plot.
  • Snap points may reject second-story placement when ceiling decor is already placed inside them.

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.

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!

Top Bug Fixes

Disclaimer: Please note this is not a comprehensive list of all fixed issues.

We put in a lot of work this cycle to clean things up across Palia. Tons of bugs were fixed, and we have listened to player feedback to make improvements in lots of areas to help everything run smoother and feel better to play.

Gameplay

  • Resolved an issue where Rummaged Goodies Bags would occasionally be empty when opened.
  • Resolved an issue where the Temple map would incorrectly stay on screen after exiting the temple if the player had logged in while inside.
  • Adjusted Trufflet production rates to yield the expected 9 items instead of 6.
  • Fixed an issue where the world map failed to update or display correctly while exploring Temple interiors.
  • Removed the Winterlights Register from Kilima which was incorrectly appearing after its expected end date

  • Fixed a display error where the Tint menu incorrectly showed a cost of 0 before the actual price was calculated.
  • Fixed an issue where entering Copy Tint mode would cancel the current preview; switching modes now correctly maintains your visual preview of the item.
  • Resolved a placement restriction for the Estate Roof Connector, which now correctly attaches to all applicable areas of The Alchemist’s Cottage rather than just the sides.

Housing & Decor

  • Fixed a bug where using the Housing Travel Board would not remove the gold required for traveling.
  • Fixed a visual issue in Kilima Village where the stone wall at the Housing Plot entrance teleporter appeared to be floating or misaligned with the terrain.

Premium Cosmetics

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 is joining the ranch!

Formerly only known as just a pet, the Ferris is now a ranching animal that is unlocked at Ranching Level 12.

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!

Hodari’s Starstone Search Event!

Grab those pickaxes and get ready to sparkle! Dig deep in the newest community event “Hodari’s Starstone Search”, running from January 19th to January 26th.

During this week-long event, players across Palia will mine together to reach a dazzling Starstone community goal. Whether you’re a mining pro or just discovering the thrill of uncovering gems, every Starstone adds to the glittering goal and makes Palia’s resident hunky Hodari Happy.

Join friends for Mining Parties, or chip away solo while still contributing to the total, and unlock tiered rewards including star-quality starstones, consumables, decorations, and other rewards, delivered straight to your News Inbox.

Follow milestone updates on Discord and social channels to celebrate each sparkling achievement along the way.

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

Hodari’s Starstone Search is a sparkling reminder that mining is better with friends…and maybe a little rugged inspiration!

Snowy Skitterer Bundle

Winter isn’t over yet, and that means it’s time to summon the elusive Snowy Skitterer!

You’ll need to help Elouisa gather a variety of requests to entice the Snowy Skitterer: cozy snowy decorations, glowing natural light sources, critters from your bug and fish collection, and the Snowy Skitterers favorite foods.

Check in with Elouisa to see if your offerings have worked, and in return for creating a welcoming winter space, you can expect new wallpapers and floors as a reward.

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.

Tint Loot / Craft / Purchase Location
Leafy Green Recipe Acquired via Skill Medals from Gardening Guild Store (Requires Gardening Skill Level 10).

Storage Tab Improvements

Storage just got a little more organized.

Two new storage tabs have been added, including a dedicated tab for animal treats and a separate tab for stored tints. Both of these are accessible at the top of storage, next to the other icons.

Finding what you need should now be quicker and easier!

New Snowy Decor!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it craft!

We’re introducing new snowy versions of recipes you already know and love, building on the frosty additions from the last patch.
