Palia Etiquette: When to Break Palium, Chops Trees, and more!

[@WitchyTQ]

I forgot to mention in the Glossary: Flares = Flare Arrows. You can obtain the Flare Arrow recipe from the Hunting Guild Store for 500 Gold starting at Hunting Level 4.

[@inkylabyrinth]

Thank you for mentioning how hard it is to communicate as a Switch player! I get so anxious trying to type things out at such a slow pace when things are happening. It feels like going back to T9 texting. 😅

[@CuteChubbyChaos]

This part. I’d love to relay everything really I would…but it’s so tedious! Lol

[@dianev5014]

I have the same problem! Takes me forever to type it out... So frustrating.

[@nicksalvotti4905]

Really hoping they update the Nintendo switch online app so you can type in chat on your phone like in animal crossing😭

[@ginmartinidesigns1247]

hahah Same! Wish there was an app like animal crossing has/had on my phone

[@its_just_seb]

as someone who was in the trenches of mid-00s MMOs and hasn't really played an MMO since, I am over the moon with how kind and easygoing people in this game are. Maybe it's the fact there's no combat, maybe it's the fact it's a cosy game, or maybe the mindset has just shifted in the time i wasn't playing, but I am so glad people are finally nice in MMOs

[@shooglechic-pi4kz]

I agree, it's all the professions from WoW along with the NPC quests and faction rapport building. It's just a happier place with nice graphic design and stories.

[@vickienna_games]

Thank you for this! I am a switch player, and it took me awhile to learn all of the different social etiquette things in the game. Once I finally understood, it became very clear what other players were doing. There's no tutorial for these rules. I also only recently started playing the game when it came out on switch. Other players who have been playing for longer may not realize that there are new players and they don't all know the etiquette.

[@shellbow5451]

My general way of doing things is if you can harvest the resources yourself, it's okay to do it yourself. I think calling every pal node is a bit excessive sometimes lop

[@WitchyTQ]

mhm, that's pretty much covered in the video.

[@Juzmn]

I think maybe just calling out the big pal node is nice especially being a new player. Just breaking 1 big pal give like 6 pal ore enough to make 1 brick....The small or medium is whatever

[@RowanWolf22]

It’s SO cute how seasoned players drop bug lures to help those waiting!!! As someone with ADHD, I avoid interacting either anyone because I get so anxious and impatient sometimes, since my brain is thinking about the other 50 tasks I have yet to do and the 10 I stopped midway and forgot about 😭 The European servers don’t seem as fun though. Any time I’m on (I’m in the U.K.) the players all are silent keeps to themselves. No one calls anything out in the chat either actually.

[@heatherkaye6362]

Thank you for the balanced take. Sometimes there are rude players who expect every single resource to be called out every time and will harass players for playing solo. For example, I was once farming trees and had a small'ish (more than one hit) one spawn. I waved over nearby players. One of them flamed me in the chat for not calling it out. I was so surprised that it didn't even cross my mind to report their behavior, but afterwards I realized I should have because I probably was not their only victim if they had that mindset. While sharing is encouraged in the game, it is not mandated. Harassing other players in chat is explicitly forbidden and can result in action taken against your account. Keep in mind, while these resources seem super duper important and hard to find at the start, they really are quite abundant and they aren't even especially valuable in gold exchange. They can all be purchased as well. If someone's just playing through and not being sociable, that's their business and it's not actually harming you or the other players. You don't know what's going on on their side of the screen so DON'T be rude in chat!

[@filegnaru]

Dropping a lure while waiting for people to arrive at the grove is such a good idea! I usually go mining/tree chopping around the grove but that can get confusing for others who are trying to keep an eye on who has arrived/who is still on the way. And on occasion me chopping a regular tree has gotten people angry at me since they thought it was a flow tree or has made impatient peeps take down flow trees. So like, it caused not fun chaos. A bug lure will cause fun chaos!

[@Yokolite94]

I really hope Palia finds a way to make alerting players easier for switch users. Typing is awkward and can lead to miscommunication. I would love preset phrases or the ability to ping on the public map to make calling out easier. Like a purple dot for flow, blue for pallium and green for a forage

[@WitchyTQ]

Something like this would be so nice, for more than just switch. Symbols across languages helps so much as well.

[@maimaisims]

And then sometimes youre stuck on whisper and you're like no I wanna talk to everyone!!

[@WitchyTQ]

@@maimaisims Make sure you give them feedback on their website! I try to advocate so hard for switch users, and every report/feedback submission helps!

[@ginmartinidesigns1247]

I think about this too but also part of the fun is stumbling On a Pal randomly or Flow tree, its exciting! lol

[@alexs.9272]

@@ginmartinidesigns1247omg, my favorite thing in the game is shooting out flares, so i love randomly finding flow trees and palium too lol

[@shaunaisazombie]

Not everyone has the luxury of time to wait 15 minutes for people to get to a palium node. In that time you can wipe all of the iron in N Bahari and respawn a bunch of palium. It is massively abundant now after the update but everyone walks by it because the texture is hard to differentiate from stone from far away. It is not a rare resource anymore, I can get over 100 ore an hour solo and never going to call outs.

[@WitchyTQ]

That’s exactly why I pointed this out in the video. I do hope you watched instead of just commented 🤍

[@HeadHunterSix]

@@WitchyTQ hoping people don't misinterpret that as passive-aggressive snarkiness. Usually, "thanks for watching" is better. 😉

I'm not too worried :D Sometimes people don't watch the whole video before commenting and it's a bit of a bummer!@@HeadHunterSix (edit: i'm really bad at providing meaning and emotion over text so i always try to add a heart >.< so thank you)

[@HeadHunterSix]

@@WitchyTQ No worries. I love your videos and I do watch all the way through - sometimes my comments are just another person echoing what you said because it's good sense.

The one ones I hit alone are the single deposits

[@Kayenne54]

In my first few months on an internet game, involving real time players (MMO), someone said "Remember, there are PEOPLE behind the pixels".

[@Bully_Biscuit]

It is not necessary to call out for palium. If it was they would have made it like the flow trees. Some people don’t like playing with others cause of social anxiety. let people play the game how they want. It will spawn again.

[@JoanneZira]

100% this!

[@WitchyTQ]

This is in fact covered in the video. 🤍

[@brnzp]

That's why it's called etiquette, not rule. You are free to choose, just as you are free to choose to be an A-hole.

[@midnightflowerlivi]

Thank you for pointing out the switch chatting issue. As a switch player I tend not to respond as it takes time away from getting to location. I gotten use to the if I make I make it if I don't ohwell. The whole chat on switch is sooo long and time consuming with like 3 buttons to confirm the post. While in hand held mode easier to chat I tend to play docked.

[@ginmartinidesigns1247]

No!!! always stop and at least Put "Omw" For the most part Weve been able to wait the extra minute or two. Its really no trouble!!!

[@HeadHunterSix]

With rare forage, I pick it, call it out, flare it, and keep moving. I don't have the kind of time to stand around waiting for people to show up to pick something.

[@WitchyTQ]

And this is exactly why I pointed this out in the video. I do hope you watched it 🤍

[@HeadHunterSix]

@@WitchyTQ I certainly did (I subbed for a reason)! I also learned a lot from the forageables video. Too many people call it out and wait for everyone before picking... and then it despawns on them.

[@WitchyTQ]

omg yeah this happens so much! I really hope the "getting mad cause someone didn't wait" era of the game doesn't continue! Also thank you so much!@@HeadHunterSix

[@LyricSnowe]

@@WitchyTQyoure so passive aggressive lol

[@gogirl709]

I just started playing on Switch and this is my first MMO and community play is fun. Another thing that's good to call out is rummage piles. Someone called it out and I found one for the first time. Next time I saw one I called it out and someone else found it.

[@claire7558]

thank you for encouraging patience especially with switch players. i started playing last week on switch, never played on PC and I realized that because chat is so much slower than regular keyboard typing that I'm not going to be able to be as collaborative as PC players, plus the UI on switch is slow and small

[@lilli1855]

called out a palium node yesterday and not even a second after sending the message someone ran up and mined the whole thing by themself, definitely top 5 anime betrayals 😭

[@t3b557]

Thankfully, there was an update that stopped Palium from disappearing for others once mined. Glad we don't have to pick and choose who gets to hit :)

[@fire34fly]

I started playing a week ago and it's my understanding that in the current version of the game if you mine a rock or any ore node it is still able to be mined by another player since the outline remains, right? I just want to make sure that is the case, so if I were to mine a palium node and send out a flare afterwards another player can still get the same palium?

[@foxbat7685]

No. Ore can be hit by other people but after a few minutes, idk exactly, but they DO despawn. This goes for ore and foragables.

[@DieAbelDie]

I was on last night and had a switch player on server that said they used a wireless keyboard on their switch for the chat function. Thought that was super smart!

[@RedJuicebox]

for switch players, while not the most comfortable thing, it is possible to connect a keyboard to the switch dock to help type things out I tend to do that when i travel to bahari with the intention of farming pal and ft's

[@WitchyTQ]

This is such a good tip!

[@stuntcabbage8332]

So glad I found your channel, been binging all your stuff. Thanks for the extra callout about us switch players 😁 Palia has one of the best communities I've ever been part of.

[@WitchyTQ]

I feel so bad for Switch players right now, I really hope they work towards easier chatting among other features for the device. I have the hardest time playing on it.

[@gooddoctor7731]

Great video! Thank you for passing along this information and helping to keep the community positive. I especially appreciate your comment on switch communication. As a switch player, I’d appreciate a more patient response time from people since it takes longer to chat.

[@sherrid2637]

Thank you for this video, I am new to the game and playing on the switch. I knew about the trees but have not seen those other resources yet. I see people chatting and would love to be able to participate. Hopefully things will improve for switch players. I don’t want to be seen as rude for picking up something by mistake. This was a wonderful learning video.

[@manfred909]

Clear communication is amazing to solve problems. You did forget always give the bunny treats but he will let that slide lol.

[@roseannarabia6461]

I'm loving your videos! I wish I would have found them sooner. I found a heart drop Lily and didn't know what to do with it and ended up selling it. I also didn't know why forageable plants glowed after you picked them.

[@MarianaRJMM]

I'm a new player, started about a week ago and some etiquette like chopping down flow trees I understood by seeing what others did and asking about it but a lot of things you just don't know and have no way of knowing what to ask, so this video is amazing, thank you! Subscribed and am binge watching your channel 🤍 great insights and cozy voice!

[@WitchyTQ]

aww thank you so much!

[@leannweston3682]

I use to wait, and wait, and wait for others to come break a palium node. Got to the point I was waiting for hours in game time, compared to the small amount of time actually trying to find palium. I also would call out nodes and be waiting for those who said they were OTW just to have another player come up and clear the node. To me, anymore, this does not feel like a cooperative game but a free for all. I think people are getting tired if waiting. Waiting is not playing a game and to me it is not how a game should be designed. Especially for those players who don't have hours of real life time to play.

[@HeadHunterSix]

You can actually gather more by keeping moving - and so can the players who sit around waiting for others to find the good stuff. Aside from groves, going out and finding resources on your own will always be more effective.

[@dianev5014]

When I find palium I flare it, put the location on the server, mine it, and move on. It stays viable for a certain period of time and anyone getting there can mine it before it disappears. I don't treat it like a flow tree. If I find a small flow tree, I chop and move on.

[@ginmartinidesigns1247]

@@dianev5014Yeah, I didnt think you had to wait for the Pal? Do you get more if you wait? What is the benfit?

[@xKT]

To anyone reading this, don't be alarmed by the 10-25 min wait on trees. I've honestly never had to wait 25 min for a grove or FT chop before. 25 minutes is 10 in game hours. Even after hundreds of hours I've never seen a grove chopped past 630am and only because it was found very late. I think a lot of people get impatient and don't actually realize how little time has passed irl. An hour in game is only 2 and a half real minutes. 💕

[@TartantazCreates]

as a new player on switch, this has been helpful, thanks. I find it hard to communicate with the switch. Also as a new player I am still always getting lost so usually dont get to the called out place in time, but I am not complaining that is life lol but I have called out a couple of flow trees and perhaps may not have waited long enough for others. Though in my defence there were not many folks around at the time and I did wait for those who responded. Boy did it take me a while to actually figure out how to explain where one of the trees were to put it in the chat lol

[@treece1whit629]

Some lagging and typing can be slowdown to responding out in chat for switch players. Always willing to wait. I just find so many times I get there and it's chopped etc. So thank you for covering the issues.

[@paulstclairterry6971]

OMG, I didn't know any of this! I have been playing on and off for the last week and have acquired my exquisite axe, bow and pickaxe and am level 7, 8 or 9 in all other skills apart from fishing. I have not used the chat at all as I thought it was for people who collaborated in teams. I am not good with social media as it is so time-consuming. I have been solving the mysteries and discovering the lore of Palia by first-hand interaction and observation. I have had difficulty finding flow-trees and had not been aware of the groves though, by following the "giant" footprints and airstreams and the display of magical purple ether in the sky, I have by chance found the grove twice and had worked out that it must spawn randomly. I did not know that it consistently appears at midnight in-game. I found a whole group of people there and assumed that they were working together as a consistent group, like a guild. I found that if I started trying to chop down a tree, everyone there would come and hit the tree once only and leave: I had assumed that they were either felling the tree with one hit or had no interest in helping me. Thus, I would eventually leave after having hit several trees but not having felled any. I did not stick around to get my share of the resource! Palia is a lovely, absorbing game and I enjoy it thoroughly. However, my ignorance of the etiquette must have irritated players who have been playing for more than a week.

[@WitchyTQ]

glad you found it helpful! it's definitely a big world with lots to learn, im sure others didn't mind at all.

[@r.j.2202]

to me it's interesting how different your experience can be depending on what server you're on. Yesterday I played again after a long break, and the first server I was on was perfect. People were helping each other and patient when it came to flow trees. I'm not the best at navigating Bahari Bay yet but they were helpful when I said I had trouble finding the spot (using flares) instead of being rude. Then the next server I was on, the chat was full of people insulting each other, pretty harshly too. Just made me follow the main quest instead.

[@GeneralGhost]

As a switch player i will say that communication is difficult for us so patience is needed.

Thank you for this video! One thing I'm noticing though is a number of players say 3 AM is traditional chopping time for groves. Really nice tip for Switch players!

yes, more recently (this video is a few months old now) the usual longest people wish to wait is 3AM which is honestly so helpful!

Flow tree grove are the best moment to chat, draw or bring out a book. I may be a lil odd but i like those lil breaks when i got time

As a switch player, I HATE our chat so much 😭 communicating with others is a nightmare, and if you’re plugged in and playing on big screen basically impossible. It sucks, since being able to talk to others normally would be nice

[@xxcnd83xx]

Thanks for the tips, it helpful for a new Switch player like me! Not being able to cut down flow trees by yourself is so annoying, I hope in the future we will be able to buy them for a not too crazy expensive price, or at least cut down the small ones by ourselves.

[@FriendlyNewbCraft]

I have to be honest I had a rant about this in a video once and the only one I don't mind not waiting for is the pal node due to there being so many... but I have forgotten to call out a clove here and there if I am on my way to something else... My worst experiences have been from streamers creating a group through their stream and then running around with them collecting the flow trees, and not calling them out for the public... That server then is useless to any single player or small team that needs flow trees. I tried to explain that to a streamer once and I was told to F**k off if I didn't like it and their group harassed me until I left the server... I logged off and honestly haven't been back since... :/ Ill be going back for the markets... But what you say to a player can effect them, so be kind all!

[@WitchyTQ]

I'm so sorry this happened to you, sincerely. If you ever see me online, know that any group I have larger than a regular party will always call out. That behaviour is unacceptable.

[@FriendlyNewbCraft]

I use to call out for grove, but literally no one responded for irl 10-15 mins. The stress of waiting. Like I had to do things with my time too. 😢 I ended up getting the smaller trees and not the big ones because I couldn’t knock them down alone.

[@WitchyTQ]

I've noticed this becoming a trend, specifically if you're on a non-NA server. So many things need to be addressed soon and I hope it happens.

[@sopopruidze]

Personally love calling things out because for me this game is not really about progressing in the shortest possible period of time, (I have a privilege of having time) I just love taking it in, it’s peaceful though dark and sad lore but I do get irritated if someone is continuously hitting a nod I called out and I’m literally jumping in front of them (I am a switch player so texting is pointless at that point) to let them know that they should stop but they don’t stop, and the reason is not the recourse, the reason of irritation is that other players are coming for it and their time will be wasted. (Could be an idea for a next video about common “body language” players use to communicate faster :P )But anyway, I appreciated the video a lot. Keep doing good work and compliments on your voice, it’s a pleasure listening to it.

[@user-gx6ce9rp5t]

Nice of ppl. I have not time to wait around, on very limited times to play. So for me, I log in run around mining, chopping before I have to quickly log back out. I see palium I smack it. Didn't know any better till this video. Sorry for all the times I have mined it or chopped a scrawny flow tree lol.

[@WitchyTQ]

lol don't be sorry! like i said, everyone has their ways to play and as long as its not malicious you're doing nothing wrong

[@BubblesBear17]

Except for flowtrees, groves and, as I call them, disco deers, I don't usually wait. I call it out and flare it, because if I pick out palium ore, it doesn't mean it's gone for others. Others can pick it too at their own accord. But I don't wait for someone to appear so we can pick together, unless I know they're very closeby somewhere. I also don't always call out things when I'm busy. The only things I will always call out are groves, dari cloves, heartdrop lily's, big palium ores and disco deer. The rest of the stuff I don't call out if I don't have time or I am too focussed on something (having to call out would break my focus in that case). I don't think it's a bad thing. Everyone's already so kind and friendly with each other on the game. I've never seen that in any other mmo games. I don't usually even engage in chats much in mmo's, except here. The fact that rare things often get called out by people by itsself is already a feature you rarely see in other games. It's amazing!

[@WitchyTQ]

Yeah the change to palium was awesome! This was made before they did that, and it's been such an amazing change. I'm really happy you're having such a wonderful experience with the game

[@chamab.6800]

I just started playing about a week ago. This is my first experience with an MMO. I wondered about etiquette because I came across a player standing in front a small flow tree. She was just standing there so I hit the tree. I waved to her to help. She did bless her but just now finding out that once you hit something it starts a timer? I feel so bad. She might have been waiting for people and I had no idea. I did manage to thank her on my slow switch chat tho.

[@averycheesypotato]

This video is a bit out of date, so some rules have changed. Flow trees don’t have a “timer.” You can hit one once at any time, it will just heal up. It stays standing until chopped down. If you have hit once, you will be included in the loot drop. Normal etiquette is to call it out (and flare if possible). You can say “chop at [X time]” so you’re not waiting indefinitely, just give a bit of time for others to show. It’s polite to wait for everyone who has responded with OMW to show up even if they’re a little late, but no one can fault you for cutting when you said you will. The latest update added a grid to the map, so calling out “F5” or “C2” makes for easy searching

[@thebellarrific]

Could not agree more with this video!

[@thebellarrific]

Also wanted to add that switch players can get usb a keyboard that plugs into their switch to make chatting much easier even when docked. I play this way.

[@Rubberducky10]

I wish we could pin places that we had loot but had to do something else quick. As well as for the people who are impatiently chopping all the stuff because they don’t want to wait

[@caitiethompson]

Thank you for the video. I just recently started so I really had no idea how the community was handling the spawn of resources. I play tested once a long while ago but only one time and haven't played again until last week. As a person with anxiety who wants to participate in the healthy community vibes, the idea of people getting mad at me in the game because I don't understand basically any of what your talking about it stressing me out lol T.T I just want to play and not harm anyone but also progress and make friends ahhh They should release tutorials on how the community farming works because I'm still a little bit confused but I'm gonna watch your video again and hope it sticks.

[@nadjalejdeby]

Omg I accidentelly did this not knowing and didn’t know how to apologize I’m so sorry whoever it was:(

[@tomkarpati7743]

Best way to tell where a resource is thanks to the grid system is to write the coordinates nowadays example : C-2 or D-6 writing out flow tree is long so use FT, example 2 FT at C-5 Same goes for dari cloves DC at A-1 While flare is optional, it is a wlecome thing to do as it pinpoint location for others, making the whole thing smoother.

[@WitchyTQ]

Yes! the grid option helps so much! it was added in after the making of this video ^.^

[@petitebaje]

I experienced my first flow tree gathering a few days ago. I came across I guess then it was a grove because there were a couple trees together. I called it out not sure what to do, so I just followed ppl but it was confusing because when I thought we'd all start chopping instead people were chopping once then running to another tree etc, then sitting down lolol. I was so lost, but mimicked them, well the ones just running around to each and chopping a tree, until loads more ppl came and then ppl began chopping down fully, like a whirlwind and suddenly everything was done and everyone was leaving telling me thanks. So much so I forgot to say thanks and just said yw, It was an experience lol. I even shot a flare , and after was wondering if that was even a flare lol , just to be clear the fireworks are flares yes? With the palium ore, before my pick was high enough I'd be passing these everywhere in Bahari, big and small, and had no idea it should be called out.😅 But I'm guessing that's what pal is short for yes? I'd see ppl say that often, "pal E5 or something.

[@WitchyTQ]

first, remember you dont 'have' to do anything in the game 🖤 flares are a type of arrow yes, but different to fireworks. Pal means Palium yes. also this video was made before the changes to Palium/Mining, so keep that in mind as well.

[@Raven-Bell]

I hope S6 fixes the resource sharing in Palia. If things didn't de-spawn for everyone else after someone harvests them, we could still have nodes you have to work together to harvest, without anyone getting upset.

[@snarky4lyfe144]

As a "seasoned" player, the problem we see most often is most players do not pay attention to the CHAT and/or the language barrier. I've seen it , I've been frustrated by them.

Yes, it’s hard to know all these things at first and I feel bad because the other day one took the whole med size pal for himself and I was flaring up waiting on ppl but he took it to himself when I came back from my switch keyboard option. 2 things got me upset the typing on switch and the player taking it after I was waiting for like 6min 😆 but it’s all good. I’m enjoying the game very much. I really want to build my PC soon so I can enjoy it with better graphics tho. Cuz there is a huge difference in graphics between switch and PC for sure!!! Thanks for this video ❤

[@alexisvelasquez9439]

I wait around for help with big trees and that’s it, if I see something it’s mine lol

[@TheSaneMongrels]

So nice to hear someone stick up for Switch players. It's rough out here 😅

[@MiraHopes]

As others have said, THANK YOU for mentioning how hard it is to chat with switch!! I'm a fast typist but I've given up on using the switch chat for anything other than, "omw." It's super frustrating and I end up spending 5 minutes to sound like a caveman. 😡 Also, if I'm using a compass then I only have 15 minutes (max) before the locate thingy is gone. Stopping to post a resource gobbles up so much time. I end up grabbing whatever it is and just keep going. I hate it and I feel selfish a lot. *sigh*

[@realtracosplay]

This was good to know, I started playing in jan. I’m at the point I need flow planks but haven’t joined a grove cutting yet bc ya know social anxiety lol. I have Watched a couple from afar while mining iron though. The chat just generally feels clunky on switch. Like I won’t be able to get there or message on time to make it or smth. (Plus I get lost in bahari 😂)

[@WitchyTQ]

the switch chat is such a pain for suuuure, but don't be afraid to just run up and smack some trees. worse case you miss some or whatever but it's not so bad once you're used to them

[@lucilagaletovich]

loved this video! I had an interesting time trying to figure out the communication codes within the game but luckily everyone was very nice and patient with me. what I did not understand is the gatherables part, what do you mean by "touched"? I thought once you touch it, you pick it up. And I thought that me grabbing it doesn't mean another player cannot grab it as well, since I've seen players approaching gatherables I've just picked up. I hope my question isn't redacted too weirdly lol

[@HexerGraf]

Thank you for this. I have been seeing an unfortunate amount of rudeness towards newer players and solo players when they are doing their own thing or still trying to figure out the unspoken rules. The last thing I want to see is the community fall apart because of some entitled players becoming self-appointed police. It is too nice of a game for that, and after the last update, pallium ore and flow trees are SO much more common. There is never a need to be rude to people or call them names over something that respawns so quickly. Educate, don't alienate!

[@zeearchers720]

I’m a solo switch player and my single most common experience with calling out flow trees or pallium is to be completely ignored. I wait around and wait around and while it’s true that the server says there are 0 players in my area, no one ever signals they’re on their way. My post to chat is literally ignored every time. Does that mean it’s broken? It makes me feel foolish for wasting time in the game that I could sure be using more productively. And it honestly makes me wonder if it’s only veteran players or those playing in a group who are even benefiting from the chat/server. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@WitchyTQ]

You're absolutely valid with this feeling, there is a weird overlap happening where seasoned players dont really need that much resource at the moment but new players do but many aren't at the point of understanding call outs or even that resources can be shared. I'm slowly seeing that change as new players advance in the game though. I would use the tactic of calling out that you'll be breaking/chopping at a time in game, and if someone is there before then great but if not then you're gonna move on

[@zeearchers720]

@@WitchyTQ Thanks, that makes sense, and I’ll try your suggestion. It gets frustrating because I need ft wood but can’t collect it without help. I end up having to just leave so many trees behind. Pallium is much easier to collect solo. Thanks again!

[@WitchyTQ]

if you're ever around my twitch streams, there's lots of people in the community who team up for FT gathering! @@zeearchers720

[@frankbrown3218]

Social nodes are whats game breaking the flow trees and pallium should spawn in the housing area even when i played groups of players have it timed when the trees respawn and whipe them out before a single player can get any

[@anitamendeman5999]

I called out even though I wasn't able to partake in the resources.

[@faerybree9725]

I play on the Switch and the chat hasn’t worked since I started playing. Due to that I have to rely on Flares to communicate.

[@WitchyTQ]

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Mine did this to me as well and that was the ONLY solution

[@stopaskingmedumbquestions]

I just realized you sound like the girl from Psych2Go. I love the slow gentle pace. Also, super helpful advice in the video!

Palium's rarity changed lately, it'll now Spawn on every possible ore location. so in my opinion it's not that necessary, unless it's the biggest of the ores.

[@WitchyTQ]

yup! this video was made after the change and with this in mind. Palium is a finders keepers situation for the most part.

[@VersaVerseCreations]

I once found 2 med FT & before anyone else could come & chop it together, there's a old player (guess from their outfits & tools) with her/his buddy selfishly out of nowhere cut the tree w/o waiting. They didn't see me standing at a 2nd FT & come running but stop mid run, seems like they startled upon seeing me & got caught 😂 Just because it's 2 FT only they're not willing to wait.

[@anitamendeman5999]

Thank you 💜

[@mimo1987]

I think it's ok to mine palium alone when YOU find it, also smaller ft. Imo there's no need to call out everything everytime. I usually call out bigger pal nodes and most ft, always grove. It's not possible to chop the bigger trees alone anyway. But I find it so rude if someone else finds stuff, calls out to share with other players and others come and take it down themselves. Happened with grove a lot lately. When the grove is found right after spawning and called out, there's often at least two people who immediately cut the grove down after arriving although there are people still on their way, they often don't even wait until 1 am. That's low-down.

[@mccnlight]

Im kind of worried about flow trees. I’ve never chopped one but calling people to come help is scary!! 😂

[@WitchyTQ]

lol I get that, you’ll do great and worse case just get all your Flow from the Groves

[@axkloo]

i'm kinda new to the game (like a month) and i never experienced something so frustraded as yesterday... we found grove and were there chilling while waiting for 3am i was in a rush i just wanted to take my ft loot and go on my way to find a rare butterfly and like 2:30 they put on a honey lure, i didnt wanted it i just wanted my ft so i waited til 3am and started chopping the trees while people where vibing in the lure (i knew all hitted the tree and anyone else did come) after that a group of people started bullying me so hard calling me selfish and sh** saying i should just have left, someone was defending me and they told them to uninstall the game (i know i should have said "guys im cutting 3am, more things to do" or something yeah my mistake) but PLEASE just try to be nice and call things u find wrong in a nice way, not throwing a bully tantrum.

[@WitchyTQ]

This is so important, being rude or bullying people is never called for. Definitely communicate in the future for sure but there was no need for them to be so mean and I'm sorry that happened to you

[@talitastivalli9394]

thank you so much for talking about the lack of accessibility for switch players, it’s truly horrible to type and make our way to the resources, hopefully I can change to pc soon because it really destroys my motivation sometimes

[@WitchyTQ]

A tip I can suggest, if within your budget, is to connect a keyboard to the switch dock which always you to type via that.

[@Kayenne54]

Communicate .... sigh. I'm now on the Asia Pacific server. Sadly, I cannot read Chinese script, Japanese or Korean text in the server communication options. And complete lack of any notification re. flow tree grove means I've only tripped accidentally across two flow tree groves since I got allocated my new overall server. I will hear the flow tree grove; but unless I can find its glow, nothing. No Palium whatsover, in terms of call-outs. Unless I want more crabs or special gatherables or fish, I don't even bother with Bahari anymore. Also, apparently, Switch players have enormous difficulty texting anything in chat, usually, so that would explain the frenetic "jumping up and down and pointing" that I occasionally get to see, but total silence in chat. Lol. Most players are STILL trying to be co-operative, but unless they have flare arrows, or one is face to face, it's been silent on my server, for me.

[@WitchyTQ]

hopefully they resolve the cross regions servers soon 🫂

[@TheDeductiveSugar]

Hey! I'm also on the Asia Pacific server, and one thing that has helped me a ton is having Google Translate on my phone with the camera function. I open the chat and point the camera at my screen to read the callouts and can usually figure out where to go from that. I definitely recommend it, since it has helped me a lot.

[@Kayenne54]

@@TheDeductiveSugar Okay, sounds like a plan! 🙂 Thank you! Obviously, I cannot reply, and I guarantee their English mastery is better than my efforts.

[@santiagoaramayo2035]

If I ever see you on my lobby Im gonna cut all the flow trees and flare random spots

[@WitchyTQ]

that sounds fun, what's your in game name?

[@pseud0nymph]

I’m a new player and I have no idea about any of the topics you mentioned none of these terms are utilized in my save file yet I guess I’m not far enough to understand but I’ve reached level 15 and I’m unsure if there’s a level cap

[@WitchyTQ]

levels don't hold back any story in the game, but they do effect the tools you have (upgrades) if you're at level 15 (indivudually) in all skills you should be able to do most of the things ive mentioned here by upgrading your tools.

I confuse for pallium node. I have waited before and other has mine it, flared and call it out… i just confused if mine, flared and call it out will make the node disappear?

Palium changed how it worked in a later update, this is mentioned in the video description and you can find out about the new palium here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZfZqHVshqp-gJo
