The latest patch update has arrived to warm up Kilima Village this Fall, as developer Singularity 6 detailed in their official patch notes. The launch of this patch update is the eleventh major content update for the cozy MMO in 2024, as it will address some additional bug fixes along with some new content.
For the v0.185 patch update, Fall’s Flourishes, the Maji Market returns for a limited run with more festivities (with a dash of that pumpkin spice and all things nice). Likewise, there are plenty of market minigames to continue enjoying, including the returning Chapaa Chase, the Market Drums, the Claw Machine, and the Pop-A-Chapaa!
But that's not all that's happening this Fall season as the long-awaited Plush Trading feature has arrived in Palia, with a new quest to complete to earn that much-needed trading permit to begin trading plushies with friends, community members, and other players. As always, more updates have hit the Premium Store, adding new Outfits, Tool Skins, Pets and Outfit Bundles to name.
But let's look at the complete and detailed patch notes for the Sunset Soiree update, the v0.185 patch for Palia:
Gameplay – Plush Trading Feature:
- Potato Pod and Plush enthusiasts, rejoice! Plush trading has arrived in Palia!
- Plush trading allows Palians to exchange Potato Pods and Plushes in real-time, and entrepreneurial Palians will want to visit the new Trading Kiosk in the Underground Black Market to initiate the “Trading Tips” questline.
- After completing the Trading Tips quest, players can head to the Underground Black Market and trade freely.
- Try out the new “Come Here” emote to attract players for a potential trade.
- Approach a trading kiosk to offer between one and three Potato Pods or Plushes.
- Players that match with another Palian’s trade proposal will swap the items on offer, and voilà, your items will be traded, and you’ll be one step closer to putting the finishing touches on your Plush display or completing your Potato Pod collection… and you might collect an accomplishment along the way!
Gameplay – Login Rewards (Potato Pods):
- The next batch of Potato Pod log-in rewards has arrived just in time for Plush trading!
- As always, the only way to receive a Potato Pod is to log in during the specified timeframe.
- You’ll need to log in at least once between 10 am PT on 23rd October 2024 and 5th November 2024, and then again between 10 am PT on 6th November 2024 and 18th November 2024
- You’ll receive one Potato Pod for each log-in reward period for an opportunity to earn a total of two Potato Pods for the duration of the Fall’s Flourishes update.
Gameplay – MAJI MARKET RETURNS!
- Keep an eye out for your next Maji Market invitation in the mail!
- Just like last time, the Maji Market will only be open between the Palian hours of 6 pm to 3 am
- During this patch, Maji Market will be open for only one week, starting on 5th November 2024; however, there will be plenty more opportunities to visit the Maji Market this year, as detailed below (including this patch):
