Money saving trick: Only buy one recipe of a new furniture set from Tish. You get a random recipe of another piece from within the same set each time you make a new piece until you have them all. Tish's register has the upgraded storage boxes including the locked storage that lets you isolate a small selection of items from your main storage inventory. Items saved there are also blocked from recipe use. It's also really useful for keeping the storage inventory from getting cluttered with future quest items like the pebbles or unused furniture.
@@nondisclosureable Another money saving tip. Be very careful about talking to NPCs in shops. Tried talking to Tish ended up buying a pot since there is no confirmation screen.
@@nondisclosureablethe lockbox is currently bugged rn. You can’t directly take out things you placed in them. But you can drag the item(s) into the top left icon, which is the general storage, and grab them like usual from the general storage. Oh and I don’t think you can put quest items into them. I tried to do so with the pebbles but I got a message telling me I couldn’t.
I love that you get bonuses for playing together even if you aren’t playing “together”. For example, I was in Bahari Bay hunting for oysters and noticed someone fishing. So when I ran out of oysters I came over an fished for awhile, and the game gave us a bonus for fishing near one another. We fished for about 10 minutes before the other player went along on their way, but it was a cute little wholesome moment that I really enjoyed 🥰
Same, whenever I see someone fishing alone I join them even it it's just for one fish so they can get the bonus and I'm on my way. I have to say, Palia's community is one of the most wholesome ones I've seen in a looong while.
I wish we could sell our furniture we make, also it would be nice to have separate storage for housing decorations. In the beginning Clay was the hardest for me to find and seemed really rare...
Its probably so we trade and swap stuff with friends. Everyone gets the 'log cabin' style set for free if they start crafting furniture (and keep crafting it, past the quest items, chair and table) But you need to buy the plans to craft the other style sets (or buy them pre made from the furniture shop) Friends could focus on one set each, if they wanted to. There may even be some REALLY expensive sets much deeper into crafting, so sharing furniture swaps may become a thing.

Actually, selling flint for 3 is less efficient than crafting 20 arrows with 5 woods and one flint. For the value of 8 coins, you can sell the 20 arrows that you get for 20, which is a 250% gain. It's also superfast. (I was able to farm 1000 coins early in like 15 minutes thanks to this)
@@SaltyAlbert this is exactly what I did. I had close to 500 flint. Just chopped down the trees in my plot for sapwood, crafted 300 hundred makeshift arrows, and went hunting in Kilima Valley for chapaa and sernuk. Turned those 300 makeshift arrows into close to 10k gold. Much better than just selling them, and it gets your hunting skill up so you can get to lvl 10 faster and get those medals. Exchange six medals with Hassian for the fireworks and sell them for 500 gold. Super easy gold farm.
My daughter found a hot-fix for this. She came through this morning and told me she caught the starred raspberry beetle...in her dreams! Not enough hours? Utilise your irl sleep by dreaming about it to spend extra hours in the world of Palia lol 😂 PS. You know how Palia time and real time are both used in game...then there is the third time zone where real time is so much faster than while doing anything else. I play Palia for 10 minutes and check the irl clock only to discover it's been 2 hours lol 😆 We're LOVING this game too! 💖
My favorite random encounter was the quest you get after digging up some disturbed dirt by the river, where you find a package, with something really stinky in it. You can then run all over town and make everyone look at it and see if it was their stinky thing.
Playing and enjoying the Beta so far. I always wanted a game where I can do things at my pace, and not being hunted by do-this and do that, slaughter many of them and kill those. When I play Palia it is like a day/hour away from stress and having time to remind the things which are enjoyable. Big hugs to Singularity6 for this one!
There is a recipe called Akwinduu Chapaa that you get from the Lost in the Wind hidden quest. It's just three pieces of paper scattered just downstream of the spillway north of the Statue Garden. Two are on the riverbanks, the third is on the ground at the camp north of the spillway.
I have been playing for quite some time now and this video still taught me new things. I'm running around alone most of the time, but I really enjoy interacting with other players when it comes to searching for rare materials. There are some flare Trees that can be chopped alone, but even for these small ones, everyone makes sure to write the location in the chat, mark it with a flare and then wait a while for others to arrive. I only saw a player who didn't wait for others once, and it ended up being a kind of funny story. Every midnight there is something called a Grove (I think) happening, at which several flare trees spawn somewhere on the second map. All interested players search for it and then once it is found, wait for everyone to arrive. Unfortunately, there was one player who didn't want to wait and instead tried to chop all the trees down by himself. Since you can not hurt other players, no one could really stop him from chopping down the smaller trees, but once he got to the bigger once, he couldn't chop them alone. He tried several minutes, while we (all the other players that were still waiting) just stood there in a circle around him and stared at him wherever he went. It made me appreciate the community of Palia and how they help each other even more.
Oh, im not chatting and not reading chat , didn't know there were some inside rules lke that. So those trees if one cut dont show for everyone else to get ? 😮😮😮
@@Dreamplandoradij I guess it's a unspoken rule of just being nice to the other players and when you find a rare resource like pal ore, or certain flowers and herbs, you tell other people where to find them, and mark them with a flare gun if you have one. For the flow trees, you do the same, but also wait for a while, so other players have time to arrive. I mean, you can´t chop bigger flow trees down by yourself anyway, but still, flow trees disappear for everyone, once they are cut down.
I’m loving Palia! Excited to see what the devs will add to the game in the future. It’s like all the basics are there, I love the graphics, the characters and especially how the home plot and decorating works! There’s so many lovely items and I love decorating. It’s my favorite thing to do in cozy games. The farming is great too with the crop boosts. Also love that we can request items and help each other out. Wish there was a simple way to ask people on your server to help with cutting the magic trees, other than trying to explain in chat. The world does feel kind of empty still, and I was hoping for a little more of fantasy adventurer type quests etc, not just fetch-quests. I’m slightly disoppointed in the little variety in quests, huting and the world feeling vast and empty. But it’s only a Beta and I’m still having so much fun with the game! So that makes me hopeful it’s a game I will play for a long time 😄 it’s been super fun to watch your Palia streams, keep them coming ❤
don't sell crystal lake lotus and the moss. You can make fisherman brew from it, which sells for a decent chunk more then the flowers + gives you easy cooking XP.
The tips about group mining and using the blacksmith to repair with gold are probably the best tips so far because after today with the open beta launch, resources got hard to find because new people (and some not-so-new folks) didn't know about this. I'll admit I didn't know before today, and I've been playing almost a week now, and I was getting upset that people kept trying to steal my nodes. I suggested to the devs that this information should be in tutorials or tips in a letter from an NPC or something. Now I'm rethinking how I play so I can coordinate farming parties. I think a good video would be how to make/manage/participate in Communities, as I can see the benefit will be joining a community and going out resource gathering with your community members.
Great video. One thing I would like to see is better sorting or filtering situation with the crafting bench. Im about to get into my fourth type of furniture (industrial) and the furniture alone is a list around 50 items long. maybe a keyword filter or to be more thematic a bunch of manilla folders that have blueprints poking out the side with the name of the type sitting on it, "Logging, Homestead, Ravenwood, Industrial, etc" on them. This way you can just open the folder you want to use instead of having to scroll down forever lol.
I think the reason they have you ask each NPC is because they want you to have conversations with them and build friendships with them. If you click map or look at your character screen and then click the heart tab up at the top you can see all the npcs. It will show you if they have a quest or want to talk to you as well as your reputation progress and what to gift them if you've talked to them and learned what to gift them.
@@geminipinay he wants that for his weekly wants. But they like other things too. There are a few gift lists out there, not all completely accurate but fairly good guides
One thing I missed for a while. Making more chests expands your storage. At first I thought it was something you had to pay for like hag space. Bought the locked chest plans for 1000 gold, and only after noticed it was a number of chest things. So, make many chest and put them in different places on your plot
I have 1 chest at the entrance to my plot beside the worktable for fast access. All the additional ones are tucked away in a corner. Since I'm a horder I found that out pretty quick, lol. The lockchest is good if you have stuff that you don't want to be used. Anything in it will not be used in crafting.
Id recommend using the general store to buy or sell something frequestly as Zeki will then mail you a lucky coin, that you can use at the store to get something random :)
What I do for crops is do 5 tomatoes, one in each corner and one in the center, and then surround with rice for a yield boost unless I need a specific crop. It ensures a water retainer and a yield boost, maximizing profits. For the 9 x 9 (all available soils), it's about 4,428 gold for the first planting, and then you just have to buy the rice seeds for the other four plantings since you get 5 harvests of tomatoes.
I go about half cotton and half potatoes. A few potatoes go into seed machines. Others go into my picking jar, which makes all the food I'd ever need. Brings in about double your amount. Double again if I don't need use up crops for seeds or food.
Good grief, I actually forgot the phoenix shrine. So much experience lost! lmao *runs immediately* And also the tip about repairing with gold at the blacksmith floored me. Always making repair kits was starting to become a major chore. Thanks for all the tips, the game would definitely benefit from people like you and add more first time helpful hints (for example - running by the blacksmith for the first time, something popping up about either using kits or gold to repair)
Awesome tips! Thank you, Josh. I've been having fun with the closed Beta and I didn't know about the receipes in people's houses. Also I only just find out you can repair your tools at the blacksmith haha.
I didn't realize that meals are worth their ingredients- that's super helpful information, thank you! And yes please do a gift guide! That's the one thing I haven't seen yet
Regarding writs: keep in mind the cost increases for each writ you purchase. The price is not 35, it starts at 10 I believe and costs 5 more for each writ you have purchased.
The Crystal Lake Lotus and the Emerald Carpet Moss are used to craft the Fisherman's Brew which provides a much higher profit margin than simply selling them raw. Would recommend holding on to all of those until you can craft it. Also tip of my own: Play however you enjoy, but it may be more beneficial to get your skills to level 10 before trying to level one path like crazy. At level 10 you unlock the ability to complete weekly quests which reward a unique currency which allows you to purchase some of the harder to get resources as well as some unique rewards that can only be bought with that currency. You can (as far as I know) only complete 3 quests a (real life) week (reset is Sunday) and some of the items have a high price tag, so starting early to unlock the ability to do those weekly quests will save you in the long run when you actually want to start on the other skills!
So looking forward to the open beta. Can't wait to join everyone in this beautiful world. So nice to have a friendly mmo. Everyone helping each other rather than being competitive or combative. Could never play those kinds of games. I suffer with anxiety and they just trigger an attack. Really looking forward to this cosy mmo. The tips are so helpful before I start playing. More tip videos woild be marvellous. Thank you, Josh!
You're gonna love Palia. It's just such a wonderuflly chill game. Personally I also like the art-style. Some people think it's "childish", but it absolutely fits with the whole vibe of Palia. And so much to discover. :D
Ive played for 72 hours total and it is VERY addicting! I make a lot of money hunting Sernuks and selling their pelts, horns, and cooked meat. I’m hoping they make expansions and stay in business. It’s always sad to see your favorite games shut down after a few years. They need to make furniture sellable or maybe tradable so people feel like all of the effort they did to make furniture can be rewarded.
Great video! Lots of very solid advice and explanations. To add onto your great tips about grilling fish before selling, it's worth mentioning that cooking with non star quality ingredients has a chance to become a star quality food. What you mentioned already were good enough reasons to always turn basic fish into grilled fish before selling since it gives you cooking EXP and sells for the same amount, but if anyone happens to need more incentive for doing so then there's this added bonus to taking that extra step to grill before selling.
its best to NOT spend your renoun on focus at the shrines. You get one free dragon shrine and one free phoenix shrine boost, which is usually enough for most players. At least, this is true if leveling up your characters skill up FAST is NOT your main goal. The more plots you buy for your home, the more rits you will need. At first, its just one or two. But soon, you need more and more per square. So, if building your home and garden is your main want, stick with the first free focus boosts from the dragon and phoenix statues. If leveling your characters skills is your main fun, yeah go grab the extra boosts from the statues. About furniture. If you want to collect it, and want to craft it... Furniture does not take up space in your stash box. You can dump as much as you want into the stash. Also, if you are a crafter, just grab one small furniture plan for each style/type. The first time you craft each piece of furniture you will be offered a choice from up to 3 other pieces of the same set. I grabbed chairs for 'homestead' style from the furniture trainer, and have used that to start me off learning the 'homestead' style furniture.
Furniture not taking up space in your stash doesn't help. It's STILL there, meaning you need to scroll past it all to find what you're looking for. We need a way to sell it, even if it's for low amounts... or, better, to 're-harvest' a portion of materials spent creating it while destroying it.
@@the-dave-house-project I'd rather sell it to the furniture shop for a couple of coins tbh, but that would mean the game economy would switch from catching bugs to crafting furniture. Could avoid this by trading our furniture with the shop for 'trading tokens' that could be used to get stuff from the store, and which can't be traded with other players I guess. Personally, what I'd like are set type tabs in the crafting menu. I can filter in my stash, and while I can filter to just furniture in the crafting bench menu, I cannot filter set type. When I get more than 3 items in a set (rustic, cabin, homestead ect) it should change from just listing them en mass to the style set name, so it has a sub menu (my personal preference) Maybe they could add a special lockbox *just* for furniture, so if you place it down and add furniture via that chest, it won't show in your standard inventory stash?
I found another use for camera. Not sure if it only happens to me, but sometimes i get controls messed up. E.g. cursor is not disappearing, WASD keys stop working, mouse pan stops working etc. Opening camera with K and closing it solves most of these cases.
Saw that this was a free game and decided that you probably made a review of it at some point so I went looking. The fact that this is a “tips and tricks” video means you must like the game enough to play it more than once, so I decided to download it. Maybe it will fill the cozy-MMO-sized hole left in my heart by the death of fer.al.
If you want to use a worm as a bait just right click when the fishing rod is equipped and change it, usign worms as a bait will make you catch advance fish to offer to the vault
Same for the bow and bug bombs. Right click for ammo menu so you can use what you need instead of wasting higher value things on basic when the cheaper ammo will do.
Oh and I wouldn't suggest buying more than one furniture recipe from each set because it looks like you can learn the others through crafting the one you bought and continue that process.
Thank you for this very useful video. I haven't gotten far enough to deal much with the repair kits, so this information will definitely come in handy. The rest of the video was also very useful.
Yooo, thank you for this video. There were quite a few things I didn't know and apparently missed several times during my playthrough. I never even paid attention to the pond in the backyard, just the little watering spot...that I didn't plant my garden next to. '>_> Every video about this game makes me wanna go play, so now I need to take care of tasks early so I can play without too much interruption. Thanks again!! Also, seeing the mountain during the camera feature reminds me of Dragonspine in Genshin Impact. It would be cool if the pictures you take in-game could be framed and hung in your home as art.
I haven’t tested this out to know with 100% accuracy but if you put a gold star crop into the seed maker you get a gold star seed packet (this is 100% for me). If you then plant that gold star seed packet then you get a gold star crop (this is the part I’m not 100% sure on, you at least get a lot more than when relying on the crops with the quality up perk). This is a great money maker when combined with the harvest amount up crops
That's a good point! It's something I've been trying to figure out too. I've been planting star seeds but I don't think I always get star crops. Will have to do some more testing and maybe a video on it!
I do actually still use the makeshift arrows, because I'm lazy. One of the weekly quests is to hunt X critters with others. So I go out and hit all the deer with a makeshift arrow, so it doesn't die in one shot. Then I just wait for others to come through and finish them off. Ta da, hunted with others.
@@Strawberryfox26 Once you reach level 10 in a skill, you'll unlock weekly guild quests for that skill. You'll earn guild coins to spend for that skill. There's some nice stuff you can get.
DON'T sell crystal lake lotus and emerald carpet mass, they're used to make food (4th campfire recipe learned I think) and these sell way higher ! Plus when you make food with fish or meat or anything, it has a chance to proc one star, even with non-starred ingredients, which sells for more than the total value of raw non-starred ingredients used.
Honestly. I feel like you can generally play however you want. For example, Want to focus more on the aesthetics? Take it slow? Then feel free to expand. However, if you want to have a sort of Focused Run (No pun intended) then sure, I also agree with you here.
Recipe in the library book, I think you have to read till last page. Also old grocery list is a recipe I think.... and some npcs teach you some if they like you... I can't remember, my memory sucks 😅
Makeshift arrows are GREAT for hunting the little red pandas. (One shots them.) Also great for duo hunting Deer so that you an a friend can sync shot without leaving you or your buddy empty handed.
I would add another one: check your mail daily! I somehow made it to lvl 60 without checking the mail once... So many important stuff is delivered via mail: quests, housing, items, recipes, etc. So checking it regularly would ensure not missing out on any progress.
Tbh when I first saw the circle ring bar getting worn down by at least a half, I genuinely thought I would have to worry about my tool breaking and having to make a brand new tool for it, so I was constantly repairing my tools because of it. While I’ll still repair my tools since I don’t want them to downgrade, I’d say that downgrading was a bit better than what I’d thought would happen if you worn out your tool completely. 😅
10:45 what?! I’ve just been cooking for focus and selling my gold items. 14:04 this is true! Someone will usually call out when they see flow trees or pallium ore and then wait for everyone who wants it to arrive.
I like enlarging my plot - having it completely opened is more practical, because once it's done, it's done - after I've done that I will put them elsewhere
Here's a tip: Focus is used and exp gaind on picking up the loot, not on chopping down the tree / smashing the rock. So if you leave the loot you don't get exp. Why is this of any revelance? if you get to Flow trees, at some point you want to start chopping down the forest to free some spawn points. Any Tree spawn can be a flow tree, but it can only spawn if there's space. When there is a normal tree on a spawn point already, it won't turn into a flow tree. Same goes for Pallium ore (limited to ores in caves and some in the floded city). So when you go around freeing spawn points for flow trees, chopping normal ones, you'llend up wit TONS of wood. I enden up selling it, 700 hard wood and hardwood planks are enough for me right now to have on hand, no need to double that. Anyways Your Inventory will get full fast. So you might be tempted to just cut down the tree and not pick up the loot. That's where this whole thing comes into play, the Trees will respawn wether you take the loot or not, but you won't get any exp if you don't pick up your loot. Something about littering i guess.
If you don't want to go home to empty the full backpack (risking losing the instance where you've already cleared trees for spawning in flow trees) pick it up for XP but trash some as you go. It's a lot of gold in one sense but losing the instance costs more. Obviously if you're partied with others you can go home and still get back to the same instance as long as you don't all leave at the same time. :)
I started yesterday dont sell your flint, until you well in copper dont, cause im level6-7 hunting and im still using the normal arrows and im aware of course in future i need to upgrade but i need to be stable with resources.
As a few people pointed out, writs do not initially cost 35 points. They start at 10, then increase for each following plot!

Wish there was a simple way to ask people on your server to help with cutting the magic trees, other than trying to explain in chat.
The world does feel kind of empty still, and I was hoping for a little more of fantasy adventurer type quests etc, not just fetch-quests. I’m slightly disoppointed in the little variety in quests, huting and the world feeling vast and empty. But it’s only a Beta and I’m still having so much fun with the game! So that makes me hopeful it’s a game I will play for a long time 😄 it’s been super fun to watch your Palia streams, keep them coming ❤
don't sell crystal lake lotus and the moss. You can make fisherman brew from it, which sells for a decent chunk more then the flowers + gives you easy cooking XP.
Is there a recipe to unlock for this or?
@@AeriyaValkyrja Yes, through fishing, I think around level 5 Einzar offers it.
The tips about group mining and using the blacksmith to repair with gold are probably the best tips so far because after today with the open beta launch, resources got hard to find because new people (and some not-so-new folks) didn't know about this. I'll admit I didn't know before today, and I've been playing almost a week now, and I was getting upset that people kept trying to steal my nodes. I suggested to the devs that this information should be in tutorials or tips in a letter from an NPC or something. Now I'm rethinking how I play so I can coordinate farming parties. I think a good video would be how to make/manage/participate in Communities, as I can see the benefit will be joining a community and going out resource gathering with your community members.
Great video.
One thing I would like to see is better sorting or filtering situation with the crafting bench. Im about to get into my fourth type of furniture (industrial) and the furniture alone is a list around 50 items long. maybe a keyword filter or to be more thematic a bunch of manilla folders that have blueprints poking out the side with the name of the type sitting on it, "Logging, Homestead, Ravenwood, Industrial, etc" on them. This way you can just open the folder you want to use instead of having to scroll down forever lol.
you get a creamy carrot soup recipe in the library - it's the green book in the alcove where kenyatta hangs out.
House pond was an amply timed tip. I was just about to head to the fishing pier to get some fish to grill. Thanks for that.
NPC gift guide would be great! Thank you, Josh, for your tips and videos.
I think the reason they have you ask each NPC is because they want you to have conversations with them and build friendships with them.
If you click map or look at your character screen and then click the heart tab up at the top you can see all the npcs. It will show you if they have a quest or want to talk to you as well as your reputation progress and what to gift them if you've talked to them and learned what to gift them.

There are a few gift lists out there, not all completely accurate but fairly good guides

One thing I missed for a while. Making more chests expands your storage. At first I thought it was something you had to pay for like hag space. Bought the locked chest plans for 1000 gold, and only after noticed it was a number of chest things. So, make many chest and put them in different places on your plot
I have 1 chest at the entrance to my plot beside the worktable for fast access.
All the additional ones are tucked away in a corner.
Since I'm a horder I found that out pretty quick, lol.
The lockchest is good if you have stuff that you don't want to be used. Anything in it will not be used in crafting.
You can also put an additional 8 boxes in the second plot for a total of 3200 storage space.
@@AeonSaintI have a similar set up except I also have one in my house near my cooking stations.
@@luniARTic once you save 25k you can upgrade them to copper boxes. the recipe is in the register at tish's store.
You can pick the chests up after you place them, and the storage will stay the same. You will need to place all of them to expand it, though.
Id recommend using the general store to buy or sell something frequestly as Zeki will then mail you a lucky coin, that you can use at the store to get something random :)
What I do for crops is do 5 tomatoes, one in each corner and one in the center, and then surround with rice for a yield boost unless I need a specific crop. It ensures a water retainer and a yield boost, maximizing profits. For the 9 x 9 (all available soils), it's about 4,428 gold for the first planting, and then you just have to buy the rice seeds for the other four plantings since you get 5 harvests of tomatoes.
I go about half cotton and half potatoes. A few potatoes go into seed machines. Others go into my picking jar, which makes all the food I'd ever need. Brings in about double your amount. Double again if I don't need use up crops for seeds or food.
Good grief, I actually forgot the phoenix shrine. So much experience lost! lmao *runs immediately* And also the tip about repairing with gold at the blacksmith floored me. Always making repair kits was starting to become a major chore. Thanks for all the tips, the game would definitely benefit from people like you and add more first time helpful hints (for example - running by the blacksmith for the first time, something popping up about either using kits or gold to repair)
Awesome tips! Thank you, Josh. I've been having fun with the closed Beta and I didn't know about the receipes in people's houses. Also I only just find out you can repair your tools at the blacksmith haha.
I didn't realize that meals are worth their ingredients- that's super helpful information, thank you!
And yes please do a gift guide! That's the one thing I haven't seen yet
Regarding writs: keep in mind the cost increases for each writ you purchase. The price is not 35, it starts at 10 I believe and costs 5 more for each writ you have purchased.
Crops buffing different, adjacent crops is pretty neat and definitely something I’ll have to remember for later.
Wish I stumbled onto this video 3 hours ago, before I bought 10 land expansions... 😅
Thank you, great video and tips!
The Crystal Lake Lotus and the Emerald Carpet Moss are used to craft the Fisherman's Brew which provides a much higher profit margin than simply selling them raw. Would recommend holding on to all of those until you can craft it.
Also tip of my own: Play however you enjoy, but it may be more beneficial to get your skills to level 10 before trying to level one path like crazy. At level 10 you unlock the ability to complete weekly quests which reward a unique currency which allows you to purchase some of the harder to get resources as well as some unique rewards that can only be bought with that currency. You can (as far as I know) only complete 3 quests a (real life) week (reset is Sunday) and some of the items have a high price tag, so starting early to unlock the ability to do those weekly quests will save you in the long run when you actually want to start on the other skills!
So looking forward to the open beta. Can't wait to join everyone in this beautiful world. So nice to have a friendly mmo. Everyone helping each other rather than being competitive or combative. Could never play those kinds of games. I suffer with anxiety and they just trigger an attack. Really looking forward to this cosy mmo. The tips are so helpful before I start playing. More tip videos woild be marvellous. Thank you, Josh!
You're gonna love Palia. It's just such a wonderuflly chill game.
Personally I also like the art-style. Some people think it's "childish", but it absolutely fits with the whole vibe of Palia.
And so much to discover. :D
So we get to see other players moving about? I can't wait!
Ive played for 72 hours total and it is VERY addicting! I make a lot of money hunting Sernuks and selling their pelts, horns, and cooked meat.
I’m hoping they make expansions and stay in business. It’s always sad to see your favorite games shut down after a few years. They need to make furniture sellable or maybe tradable so people feel like all of the effort they did to make furniture can be rewarded.
I'm super hooked on this game lol I haven't slept in days 😅
Great video! Lots of very solid advice and explanations.
To add onto your great tips about grilling fish before selling, it's worth mentioning that cooking with non star quality ingredients has a chance to become a star quality food. What you mentioned already were good enough reasons to always turn basic fish into grilled fish before selling since it gives you cooking EXP and sells for the same amount, but if anyone happens to need more incentive for doing so then there's this added bonus to taking that extra step to grill before selling.
I have almost 100 hours in Palia now and this video was still so useful and informative to me, thanks for taking the time to make this :)
its best to NOT spend your renoun on focus at the shrines.
You get one free dragon shrine and one free phoenix shrine boost, which is usually enough for most players.
At least, this is true if leveling up your characters skill up FAST is NOT your main goal.
The more plots you buy for your home, the more rits you will need. At first, its just one or two. But soon, you need more and more per square.
So, if building your home and garden is your main want, stick with the first free focus boosts from the dragon and phoenix statues.
If leveling your characters skills is your main fun, yeah go grab the extra boosts from the statues.
About furniture.
If you want to collect it, and want to craft it...
Furniture does not take up space in your stash box. You can dump as much as you want into the stash.
Also, if you are a crafter, just grab one small furniture plan for each style/type.
The first time you craft each piece of furniture you will be offered a choice from up to 3 other pieces of the same set.
I grabbed chairs for 'homestead' style from the furniture trainer, and have used that to start me off learning the 'homestead' style furniture.
yes an i didnt knew and invested more than 10 times in the shroine already
? getting the xp boost is def worth it
@@0day386 Shrines ARE the wiser choice.
Furniture not taking up space in your stash doesn't help. It's STILL there, meaning you need to scroll past it all to find what you're looking for. We need a way to sell it, even if it's for low amounts... or, better, to 're-harvest' a portion of materials spent creating it while destroying it.
@@the-dave-house-project I'd rather sell it to the furniture shop for a couple of coins tbh, but that would mean the game economy would switch from catching bugs to crafting furniture.
Could avoid this by trading our furniture with the shop for 'trading tokens' that could be used to get stuff from the store, and which can't be traded with other players I guess.
Personally, what I'd like are set type tabs in the crafting menu.
I can filter in my stash, and while I can filter to just furniture in the crafting bench menu, I cannot filter set type.
When I get more than 3 items in a set (rustic, cabin, homestead ect) it should change from just listing them en mass to the style set name, so it has a sub menu (my personal preference)
Maybe they could add a special lockbox *just* for furniture, so if you place it down and add furniture via that chest, it won't show in your standard inventory stash?
Thank you for what to sell and what to keep because I have been so confused and stressed!
Excellent video. I'm glad I watched all the way to the end, because I didn't know about the photo mode camera in the game.
I hope we will be getting more Palia videos! I have been loving this game and you make super helpful videos :D
I'm very thankful to you, sarah and iona for making these, I'm only 2-3 hours in so i have a lot to learn still 😅
may wanna keep the moss and purple flowers for the recipe from the fishing guy. They sell for way more when crafted together than separately ;)
For me with all the things I need to buy making money at the beginning seems hard. A guide on this would be nice. :) Also the crop guide too.
I found another use for camera. Not sure if it only happens to me, but sometimes i get controls messed up. E.g. cursor is not disappearing, WASD keys stop working, mouse pan stops working etc. Opening camera with K and closing it solves most of these cases.
An additional recipe, Sashimi, can be fished up in Bahari Bay in the river by the waterfall all the way to the East in the ruins.
Saw that this was a free game and decided that you probably made a review of it at some point so I went looking. The fact that this is a “tips and tricks” video means you must like the game enough to play it more than once, so I decided to download it. Maybe it will fill the cozy-MMO-sized hole left in my heart by the death of fer.al.
Having a video on all the different boosts you can get from different plants would be amazing!
If you want to use a worm as a bait just right click when the fishing rod is equipped and change it, usign worms as a bait will make you catch advance fish to offer to the vault
Same for the bow and bug bombs. Right click for ammo menu so you can use what you need instead of wasting higher value things on basic when the cheaper ammo will do.
Oh and I wouldn't suggest buying more than one furniture recipe from each set because it looks like you can learn the others through crafting the one you bought and continue that process.
As always, really appreciate the videos. Looking forward to the open beta.
Just 2 more days! 🥳
You are not alone about that fishing pond, I only discovered that yesterday out of random curiosity
you can pan the camera around to see yourself??? my mind has been blown. thank you for all these tips! they're super helpful
Thank you for this very useful video. I haven't gotten far enough to deal much with the repair kits, so this information will definitely come in handy. The rest of the video was also very useful.
Best Palia tips video I have watched!! Great job Josh!
Thank you!
honestly the companion planting and the fishing are the best things in this game.
100% agree on using renown on focus rather than your house. It really doesn't matter how big your plot is in the grand scheme of things.
Yooo, thank you for this video. There were quite a few things I didn't know and apparently missed several times during my playthrough. I never even paid attention to the pond in the backyard, just the little watering spot...that I didn't plant my garden next to. '>_> Every video about this game makes me wanna go play, so now I need to take care of tasks early so I can play without too much interruption. Thanks again!!
Also, seeing the mountain during the camera feature reminds me of Dragonspine in Genshin Impact. It would be cool if the pictures you take in-game could be framed and hung in your home as art.
You can move your garden, plants and all, wherever you want!!
This is the BEST tips video Ive seen for Palia. Thank you so much!! I learned so much
I haven’t tested this out to know with 100% accuracy but if you put a gold star crop into the seed maker you get a gold star seed packet (this is 100% for me). If you then plant that gold star seed packet then you get a gold star crop (this is the part I’m not 100% sure on, you at least get a lot more than when relying on the crops with the quality up perk). This is a great money maker when combined with the harvest amount up crops
That's a good point! It's something I've been trying to figure out too. I've been planting star seeds but I don't think I always get star crops. Will have to do some more testing and maybe a video on it!
@@JoshGamingGarden I notice the same thing... only plant star quality food and get a few non-star ones harvested
I do this daily and it looks like it returns about 75% star-quality crops. Enough to prove it's worth doing. :P
I had no idea i could fish in the pond on my plot! Thank you!
another tip: change your plot and build more storage, now your 1k+ can be 4k+, goes up to 26k storage if you unlock iron storage boxes :3c
I do actually still use the makeshift arrows, because I'm lazy. One of the weekly quests is to hunt X critters with others. So I go out and hit all the deer with a makeshift arrow, so it doesn't die in one shot. Then I just wait for others to come through and finish them off. Ta da, hunted with others.
When do we get weekly quests? 😄
@@Strawberryfox26 Once you reach level 10 in a skill, you'll unlock weekly guild quests for that skill. You'll earn guild coins to spend for that skill. There's some nice stuff you can get.
@@piperbird7193 Ooh, that’s exciting!
At 15:15 ... you forgot one... If you use Palium Bar and Flow Wood Planks, you make 60 at a time.
DON'T sell crystal lake lotus and emerald carpet mass, they're used to make food (4th campfire recipe learned I think) and these sell way higher ! Plus when you make food with fish or meat or anything, it has a chance to proc one star, even with non-starred ingredients, which sells for more than the total value of raw non-starred ingredients used.
This was super helpful! I've already been playing, but I still learned stuff that I didn't know! Thanks!
I am so glad I listen to your video because there certain things I was looking for and this video help me pin point where everything is. Thank you
THANK U FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO VISIT MY FRIENDS PLOTS!!! I literally thought it wasn't a feature xD
Honestly. I feel like you can generally play however you want. For example, Want to focus more on the aesthetics? Take it slow? Then feel free to expand.
However, if you want to have a sort of Focused Run (No pun intended) then sure, I also agree with you here.
Uuuggggh... I immediately forgot about the Cave Bundles thing. I already sold so many rare bugs & fish.....
40 hours in and I just found the fishing spot on my plot. Great tip for newcomers!
This is the best palia tips video i have watched. I was sooo confused about the different meal prices lol
Recipe in the library book, I think you have to read till last page. Also old grocery list is a recipe I think.... and some npcs teach you some if they like you... I can't remember, my memory sucks 😅
Thank you for making this video Josh, I can't wait to play this game once I have the redeem code.
Also hold on to sweet leafs, you’ll need a lot of them to bake celebration cakes and cake parties
Makeshift arrows are GREAT for hunting the little red pandas. (One shots them.) Also great for duo hunting Deer so that you an a friend can sync shot without leaving you or your buddy empty handed.
How do you sync ?
@@tortuegirafe3993 verbally usually.
i just got the open beta email, and I'm beyond excited. I loved stardew valley, rune factory, and genshin impact and this feels like a little of each!
This was super helpful, the best guide I've seen for Palia!
Thank you so much for the hint on the camera... I been wondering about that for days =9
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
I would add another one: check your mail daily! I somehow made it to lvl 60 without checking the mail once... So many important stuff is delivered via mail: quests, housing, items, recipes, etc. So checking it regularly would ensure not missing out on any progress.
It’s good to know the loot is shared because I felt bad when I would do something with a random player and they left without getting the loot 😂
Tbh when I first saw the circle ring bar getting worn down by at least a half, I genuinely thought I would have to worry about my tool breaking and having to make a brand new tool for it, so I was constantly repairing my tools because of it. While I’ll still repair my tools since I don’t want them to downgrade, I’d say that downgrading was a bit better than what I’d thought would happen if you worn out your tool completely. 😅
10:45 what?! I’ve just been cooking for focus and selling my gold items.
14:04 this is true! Someone will usually call out when they see flow trees or pallium ore and then wait for everyone who wants it to arrive.
Lots of good tips! I always forget what's needed for the bundles!😰
Finally, actually useful tips that aren’t talked about
lol I spent all my stuff on plot space. Wish I watched this. I didn't realize there was a focus bonus improvement. I got some bigger focus bar though.
Luckily the game is not about progress min maxing at all costs, just play the way you have fun. If you want to have the biggest land, go for it!
Will definitely take photos! Hard to pass the opportunity! Everything is so beautiful
I like enlarging my plot - having it completely opened is more practical, because once it's done, it's done - after I've done that I will put them elsewhere
Can't wait to get in on switch when it's out on it 🎉
Best guide video I've seen so far
Fantastic guide. Thank you!!
Here's a tip: Focus is used and exp gaind on picking up the loot, not on chopping down the tree / smashing the rock. So if you leave the loot you don't get exp.
Why is this of any revelance? if you get to Flow trees, at some point you want to start chopping down the forest to free some spawn points. Any Tree spawn can be a flow tree, but it can only spawn if there's space. When there is a normal tree on a spawn point already, it won't turn into a flow tree. Same goes for Pallium ore (limited to ores in caves and some in the floded city).
So when you go around freeing spawn points for flow trees, chopping normal ones, you'llend up wit TONS of wood. I enden up selling it, 700 hard wood and hardwood planks are enough for me right now to have on hand, no need to double that. Anyways Your Inventory will get full fast. So you might be tempted to just cut down the tree and not pick up the loot. That's where this whole thing comes into play, the Trees will respawn wether you take the loot or not, but you won't get any exp if you don't pick up your loot. Something about littering i guess.
If you don't want to go home to empty the full backpack (risking losing the instance where you've already cleared trees for spawning in flow trees) pick it up for XP but trash some as you go. It's a lot of gold in one sense but losing the instance costs more. Obviously if you're partied with others you can go home and still get back to the same instance as long as you don't all leave at the same time. :)
I’m looking forward to the holidays , so i can start getting this game.
This game is so made for me.
Game is free to play :)
Loads of information for me Thank you.
Would you happen to remember what triggers the quest to expand your land, because I thought I had run out of quests & haven't gotten this one yet.
Thank you for the video. Great info and tips. :)
I started yesterday dont sell your flint, until you well in copper dont, cause im level6-7 hunting and im still using the normal arrows and im aware of course in future i need to upgrade but i need to be stable with resources.
Great advice thank you so much! You have definitely earned a new subscriber
Me watching this after I spent all my renown on writs 🤡
Same😂
I’ve been loving this game so much.
Thx for this - I never knew about Writs.
Great tips! I also didn’t know about the pond on our farm 😂
i had no idea there was a fishing pond on my housing plot😭thank you!
