New Features & Updates

Civic Projects

Palia’s first-ever Civic Project has arrived! The Civic Project: Docks calls on all Palians to contribute items that help shape the world of Palia and rebuild the Kilima Docks. Kick things off by speaking with Ashura to help rebuild the harbor, establish a route to the Royal Highlands, and strengthen trade relationships!

Contribute Building Supplies and Donation Kits at workbenches placed around the area, or from the comfort of your own Home Plot. Donation kits can be created from various skills, with each kit contributing 1, 2, or 4 points toward the community’s shared progress while also earning you Civic Project XP.

Some kits will ask for specific collections, like 12 of the same uncommon insect, so be sure to keep an eye on the requirements!

As for rewards? Your Civic Project XP can be used to unlock a huge variety of goodies, including recipes for new Kitchen Decor, Tailor Tickets, Treat Bags, Kilima Coins, Tints, Profile Icons, the Valhäst, and so much more.

While the Civic Project: Docks rewards are found under the Lunar Path tab, they're part of their own project and do not need to be activated to participate. Even after the community finishes rebuilding the docks, you'll be able to continue earning Civic Project XP and unlocking every reward at your own pace.

Your contributions can also earn you two special player titles before the docks are complete: one at 10 points and another at 400 points. Once construction is complete, these limited-time titles will no longer be available, making them a special memento for Palians who helped contribute to Palia's very first Civic Project.

As milestones are reached, watch the docks come to life, transforming from a construction site into a bustling harbor for all Palians to enjoy, complete with a brand new route to the Royal Highlands.

Let’s build something that every Palian can be proud of!

“We’ve been wanting to create these game-wide objectives for a long time, and we’re incredibly excited to see the community come together to complete their first Civic Project. We built the vast majority of rewards for this project to be accessible to all players; however we saved the last few rewards for the truly die-hards who want to show off and give something for the very few to continue to pursue. Trust us when we say it’s ok to tap out!” -S6 Forseti

While riding a Valhäst, everyone in your party will also enjoy an improved turn rate, making it easier to stick together as you explore.

Bulletin Board

After hearing just how successful the Daiya’s were in the Bahari Province Faire last year, Zeki has decided it’s time for him to cash in. There’s just one problem: he was banned from running a booth after a few… questionable business decisions.

Help gather supplies for his disguise, game booths, prizes, and more, and you’ll earn four new wallpapers for your efforts. Check out the Wallpaper section below for more details!

Free Cam

Strike your best pose from every angle with our newly added Free Camera mode!

Introducing World IDs

Joining your fellow Palians just got easier! World IDs are a new way to join the same server as another Palian, even if you aren’t already in the same party or Friends List connections.

From the Settings menu, you can access your current World ID, a short four-character code that can be copied and shared with other players. Anyone with the code can join your game World.

The World ID menu also displays the World Age, so you can see how long the World has been active before sharing your code. If a World is full, expired, or otherwise unavailable, you won’t be able to join it using its World ID.

Joining a Palian's World also follows standard fast-travel rules, meaning it will either use your available travel cooldown or consume a Travel Potion.

For privacy, your World ID is hidden by default and only appears when you intentionally reveal it. Keep in mind that anyone with your World ID may be able to join your World while the code remains valid, so be mindful of where you share it.

We're hoping World IDs makes it even easier for you to connect with other Palians and make memories together.

New Kitchen Decor

Cook up something delicious with the newest addition to your kitchen! The Stove, Mixing Table, Oven, and Prep Table are ready to help you whip up something wonderful, and each piece can be tinted to fit your home's style.

Read below for the titles and acquisition method of each new Kitchen Decor pieces:

New Wallpapers and Floors

New Plushes
