Where To Get & Use The Dowsing Rod Recipe In Palia

As the head of the Foraging Guild, Ashura serves as a mentor and companion, providing vital information regarding the natural wonders of the great outdoors. The Foraging skill is essential to level and master as it can be best utilized in collecting and chopping down resources for other skills like Cooking and Furniture Making.

After some time leveling this skill, more items and recipes will become available to make foraging easier, like the Dowsing Rod. If you wish to forage some of the rare items in-game, you’ll need to know how to get the Dowsing Rod recipe and craft the item in Palia.

The Dowsing Rod may seem innocuous; however, it can be extremely valuable for those looking to level up their Foraging skill. However, it will take some time to acquire the recipe for the Dowsing Rod as they’ll need to have reached Foraging Level 8 and wait until 6 am or 6 pm Palian time for Ashura to forward you a letter to your Mailbox.

He’ll congratulate you on this achievement, indicating that he has a new recipe available from his Foraging Guild Store: the Dowsing Rod. You can visit Ashura any time at the Ormuu's Horn Inn or Remembrance Garden, where you can access the Guild Store and browse the available items and recipes.

The Dowsing Rod recipe can be bought for 2,500 Gold if you’re Foraging Level 8 and higher, for which you’ll need a handful of materials to craft the item. Likewise, you can buy the item from Ashura; however, you must have reached Foraging Level 10 and higher and start completing Weekly Challenges to earn Skill Medals, as you’ll need 20 Skill Medals to buy.

Now that they have acquired the recipe, players must collect a few resources to craft the item from your Workbench. They’ll need to have smelted ten Ceramic bricks and foraged six Coral and five Flint to be able to make one Dowsing Rod.

With the Dowsing Rod in your possession, players can utilize this device for 15 minutes to track down rare foraging resources throughout Kilima Village and Bahari Bay. This includes the Flow-infused trees that can be found in both regions, which you’ll need at least two friends to help chop down, along with these resources that can be tracked:

• Brighshroom
• Dari Cloves
• Dragon’s Beard Peat
• Heartdrop Lily
• Heat Root

These resources are typically tricky to find under normal conditions, and with the Dowsing Rod, this makes their locations much more accessible to locate. The Heartdrop Lily, in particular, is extremely rare as it’s mainly used in gifting Villager NPCs when romancing them, so it’s crucial to forage as many Heartdrop Lilies as possible.

Palia is currently available in Open Beta for PC, as players can install the game launcher detailed in this guide. The cozy MMO will be available on Nintendo Switch consoles, releasing Holiday Season 2023.
