PALIA: Hidden Features THAT CAN HELP YOU!!

[@never-endinggamingstory960]

For those of you into the decorating thing. We found out recently that you can customize the picture frames found at the Underground.

[@ReylanceGame]

fantastic news!

[@TheCatch87]

Not sure how no one knew about the well. The description says "A convenient location to refill your watering can' It couldn't be any clearer.

[@PerzivalGG]

I know a lot don’t really read the tooltip but I find them very useful for lore reasons

[@RedK5]

I didn’t know we had a well

[@panthakurai5267]

What I was thinking too 😅

[@JoSharples]

I don't know if it was a glitch, but it didn't used to work. Someone on reddit (I think) was complaining that it didn't work, I tested it when I bought it and it didn't work for me either, maybe they fixed it along with the glitched koi pond? So, yeah, honestly I forgot it was even supposed to do that!

[@krystalvancil]

yea, but some descriptions don't do anything. Like Mining Guild store anvil. description: You've hit the gold mine! WIth this anvil, you can turn any chunk of metal into anything you want. Reality: Decor. Does Nothing.

[@JunimoGalaxy]

A few little things I discovered were not obvious to newer players: -the clock in the top right shows the time of day (morning, day, evening, night) which can be helpful for knowing when looking for specific types of fish/ bugs -you can hover over fast travel locations on the map to see the name of them -you can press x to release from a wall (please fix climbing S6!) -you can see current buffs you have applied in the top left, to see what they are and how much longer they are active, simply press enter to open your chat then you can mouse over them to see -you can whisper to someone in game by clicking on their name in the server list of people (press o) or from the chat, you can click their username -it’s helpful to stack your buffs (such as using a smoke candle with buzzy jar and honey lure, or stacking fishing buffs..when you are a high enough level, always have a hook equipped!) -it can be worth reorganizing ur tool wheel (which u can do by clicking and dragging in the inventory menu) -similarly, it shows the skills at the bottom that you can hover over to see which NPC is dedicated to which skill -in the settings..consider whether it would help your gameplay to use toggle sprint, eat when full, or setting key binds to certain tools -you can also now change your emote wheel to include the new emotes -lastly.. knowing how to turn off grid while building can be helpful for decorating

[@PerzivalGG]

All these are perfect!!

[@zoyadulzura7490]

How do you release from a wall if you're playing with a keyboard? Should be just rotating the camera and then jumping forward, but it's not :( Once I'm in whisper mode, I can't get out without changing servers--how do I change talking mode (community/whisper/nearby/etc.)? (I have found a "backslash" command for only one of these)

[@JunimoGalaxy]

@@zoyadulzura7490 pressing x is the keyboard command! You might be able to try backspace or delete too but I’m not sure. To change the chat- you just press tab and it will cycle through server/ proximity/ whisper/ community/ etc.

[@Just_Alice.]

​@@zoyadulzura7490 To release from a wall, you press X on the keyboard as the comment said. It's like when you take away the tool you have in your hands. As for the chat, you can change canal with tab, so you should be able to change from whisper to another canal with tab too! 🙂

[@pangea379]

👍 Fun new emotes! Thanks!

[@Sunny-Jade]

Storage chest thing - that top left button shaped like a chest lets you swap between the normal and locked storage so you dont have to have one of each to get to the stuff you have in whichever type. It works both ways, so if you have a locked chest, you can swap to open storage and vice versa

[@Aradriel]

It was yesterday that I discovered you can go to the bahari map from your plot. That mine you mentioned you could also fish from. (the mine is north on your plot) You can use it to go to the bahari map and use it to get back to your plot, works both ways. O_o I had no idea until yesterday. Hope this tip helps others as it did me. Tamala doesn't seem so far away anymore.

[@charlibaltimore7641]

I figured that out late in the game too.

[@QUEERVEEART]

this shortcut didn't exist for a long time lol it was so annoying before to go to bahari bay

[@einfachluna4064]

​@@QUEERVEEART thank god, i thought i was dumb for Not noticing haha

[@poopy7716]

omg ty for this!! i just started playing recently and this is going to save me so much time 🫶

[@krystal_senem]

crafter tips: *you can use crafters as storage when not in use... smelter carries 50 stone blocks x3 + 100 stones ready to be crafted for example, that's 250 extra storage space for ya :) *you can right click to transfer items from/to crafters... I see people drag and drop, no need to do that. *you can add extra stuff to the crafter for example when you put 100 stones to glass furnace it directly uses the first 10 to make a glass, then you can top it up and add 10 more stone there... helps afk crafting a lot... I do this with worm farms and preserves jars a lot, so place 30 apples, it uses the first 1 directly so place 1 more and there's 1 more apple jar for you which will be crafted when you are not in game (which takes an hour so when you combine it all it really does make a difference)

[@JusBNmeNC]

I found out not too long ago that I could fish at the mayor's estate. Lol! They have a little fishing pond in the back yard. I thought it was a puddle and jumped in and almost drowned. 🥴😂 Afterwards I was like hmmm🤔 lemme pull my fishing rod out and see if I can fish. It's a nice quiet spot to get a little fishing done. 👍🏾

[@SharrenDabs]

i think it’s patched now i tried the other day and just had a red fishing line

[@tiki_riot]

I drowned in that fricking pond too lol

[@bradyotten9548]

Windmill has grid plots that you can hang wall deco on

[@ReylanceGame]

That is superb

[@naamloos140]

I just wanna say I love this and I absolutely love the Palia community. I joined on the Switch and have been playing on my own mostly, but I never had a game that made me feel so welcome. Ty for the helpful vid!

[@TheSaneMongrels]

Legit! The way many players will wave at you and guide you to treasure gives me faith in humanity.

[@klaizloveswoofs]

Yeah!! I joined on the switch a few months ago and started playing mostly on my own, but I play with others a lot more now. It always makes me smile every time almost the whole server gathers at a flow tree grove and waits for everyone, and then at the end everyone waved and thanks each other.

[@Seraphina-Cassiel]

I have noticed a lot of people i have talked to did not notice that the dragon statue is not the only statue you can pray to you can also pray to the phoenix statue that you spawn at in the beginning of the game the dragon statue gives you a bigger bar for focus while the phoenix makes the focus more efficient.

[@ReylanceGame]

yes indeed

[@deborahsheets2604]

Omg i didn’t know that!

[@einfachluna4064]

So which one is better? It Sounds +- the Same :/

[@noobian458]

@@einfachluna4064 The Phoenix shrine is better since it makes you get more experience. If your focus bonus from it is 50%, for ever 10 xp you will get 5 bonus xp. But if you increase it at the shrine to say 80%, this you will get an extra 8 xp for every 10xp you earn. Faster leveling and so much less grind. Eventually you want to increase the amount of focus you can store though at the Dragon shrine since eating all the time is annoying.

[@anastasiaignatova2635]

Making potato seeds instead of the preserves! 1 potato makes 4 seeds - 120 coins vs the 102 from 1 pickled potato preserve.

[@awlawdshecomin]

omg so i should just be selling my potatoes and making seeds instead of the preserves early game?

[@Crazy2Play]

@@awlawdshecomin I keep Making good Money with Potatoes Farm, sale all that are not Star Quality , also Add Double fertilizer to get way more potatoes. Good way of making good Money. Also sale all that is not Star quality , you will only want Star ones .

[@stoneycooper9758]

In the end game, making starred potato seeds and growing them alongside starred tomatoes(keeps each other watered), then pickling the one star yield will get you far more money in the long run and it's continuous for as long as you continue planting and growing.

[@kingzut]

on the same line as animation cancel if you jump/glide when going between zones through the gates it skips the slow walking. also if you are fishing you can see the fish thats biting before you hook it, if you dont hook it you dont lose the bait.

[@mevorathfjorathk.6219]

Thanks, had no idea about animation cancelling. I'll definatly use this. Some features I have found that are hidden (as in not brought to the players attention) 1) Keybinds. Having my bug-catching belt bound to my sidemouse button is a huge time saving help. When you stumble across a rare bug out in the world or after chopping a tree or mining a node, having to get the belt out by holding R and moving the mouse can be very cumbersome, sometimes to the point where I would loose the bug or it would despawn. Also by default some usefull hotkeys are 'L' - relationships tab (saves time on weekly wants), 'U' - Achivements (usefull for cheaking weekly challenges), 'Q' - selects item left in bar and 'E' - selects item right in bar. Good use of keybinds can greatly enhance this legolas factor too. 2) Invertory Overflow. If you fill up your inventory with main drops by splitting the stack e.g. copper/iron ore or deer hide, all remaining bonus drops will be put into overflow storage and moved to your main storage automatically once the overflow has fulled up. These bonus items being flint, starstones, antlers and what not. Then if you need more inventory space you can restack some items and gain a slot. 3) All items can be moved to main storage from any crafting station. e.g. so you can put pickled onions into right genral sorage menu while using the sawmill or seed colector ect and it will put the pickled onions in your main storage.

[@JusBNmeNC]

Oh there's another thing I found out. If you fish in the river in Temple of the Waves in Kilima (the one in Phoenix Falls) you get the same fish as if you're in the Bahari Bay mines.

[@AndreaLunaXD]

That's because those fish are not "bahari fish" but "caves fish" so must people search them in bahari mines but you can find those in every fishable points in every cave. This is more clear if you look for fish using palia official wiki. 😊

[@alisonmarion9871]

fun fact you can also get them in the underground as well

[@maryappleseed4869]

Fish work in the worm farm too and give great fertizer! Gives you extra crops if you use fish.

[@aniMELcrossing]

it's wild how i've been playing since August and yet i'm still learning things! Watching this i'm like "oh yeah i know that" but then that comment about hoe'in up a seed BLEW my mind! i wish i would have known that a few days ago lol

[@BrynnBumfuzzle]

You can also put sweets or meat in the regular worm farms to get harvest boost fertilizer.

[@Jakus94]

I think U can press CTRL in game after you ping the map. So when u close to the marker it shows ingame like a big light towards the spot. So u dont need to go back to the map all the time to locate the ping.

[@marykauffman5260]

Haven't tried in a long while, but I used to fish in the kenli's backyard in the tiny little pond

[@tivarshgovender9184]

The way I figured an efficient way of filling the watering can is to put the crop plots near/next to the pond which is also equivalent to walking to the well. I currently dont have the well but thought I'd share this for anyone who also wants some tricks to help them farm 😊😊

[@talac446]

honestly don't mind the patch delay, more hotpot time :)

[@jdlang2010]

Also near your home plot close to your fishing pond were the end of the building grid you can fill your water bucket on the ground!

[@AndreaLunaXD]

I don't know if it can help, I see that probably a lot of people didn't know about that... There are two official tools for palia, one is the wiki and the other is the interactive map. Both are constantly updated and very useful to find objects, hidden quests and resources as well. Using both, especially if you are newer on palia, can make palian's life easier.

[@brookelebedoff2443]

i found the palia tracker website alot easier to use, especially for fishing!! i use the interactive live map with the palia tracker for fish when i want to make lots of money, and can come out quite "rich" from it.

[@robertgronewold3326]

Not necessarily a mechanic, but I have learned that it's beneficial to money making to try and start playing at 5 to 10 after the hour, so that you can tend your garden before it advances to the next plant stage at quarter past. This is especially handy for players like me who basically have every single plant type in their garden. Also, turn everything into preserves before selling if you can.

[@brookelebedoff2443]

seeds make more money than most preserves:) i tried making bank off preserves until i realized how much more you can male by selling a 30 stack of literally any seed.

[@giamiabia]

the run and jump tip when looting! and the uprooting crop tip! i was trying to plant my garden in a specific way and kept messing up so I just kept waiting for the misplanted crops to grow before starting again.

[@SaraFetene]

Does anyone know how to animation cancel on the switch ? I figured it out for mining & cutting trees but I can’t figure out how to hunt quicker & pick up drops quicker

[@G1ngerpocalypse]

Buying from Zekis store goes off of in game days! Not irl days.

[@sandramatthee7938]

Yeap! I can confirm this

[@raiwenduravwin3166]

Yo I am 3 whole weeks late to finding this video! Been playing forever knew a lot of this. Did NOT know all of this! Thank you my friend, and everyone who contributed! I have nothing to add even, you guys are awesome.

[@SharonOnTheNet]

buy recipe for upgraded storage from furniture store to have storage of 10000. buy silk from furniture store. (instead of catching rare bugs). buy iron bars and such from a cash register in the building where you upgrade your tools. when crafting select one of the items you hadn't craft before, then select "sort" then select "never crafted" to see the list of items you hadn't craft. choosing an item you hadn't craft before the sorting means you don't have to scroll up that much.

[@bunnyslippers3832]

Great video! Your channel is super underrated! This is not a hidden feature, more of a video idea. However! It would be fun to have a (or a few) decor hack videos! You know "Place these two items together to create a xxx" or "things to put in your frog-bin" kinda stuff. It could be submitted by your community, so that you don't have to do all the thinking

[@PerzivalGG]

See, I’m AWFUL at decorating! I wish I had that skill lmao

[@Jammar83]

I found quite a few people know about the chapaa pile you can find in Kilima once irl. It looks like a pile of sticks and gives something random. Usually rocks or copper type but there's also at least one quest item to be found in there

[@brookelebedoff2443]

theres a similar pile in bahari bay as well, it usually only spawns along the coast, but you can get alright loot from there. i seen someone on reddit mention that if your inventory is nearly full you can get better loot from those piles b/c sometimes all itll give is 1 seed packet or something measly like that.

[@sedusa.x]

I placed my garden in the far back where the fishing pond is at home. You can stand in one spot (without going towards the water at all, still on your home plot [within the lines]) and can refill your watering can.

[@caiacw]

For anyone who still doesn’t have the Sushi recipe: I got it from my house’s pond! Most things that you can fish from ponds, you can fish from your house’s pond, you just never have fish bubbles and so you can’t get any star quality fish.

[@oliviatownsend835]

I feel the same way about hotpot! The Legolas reference was also 🤌🏻

[@PerzivalGG]

I’m actually getting Hotpot tomorrow and I’m AMPED

[@ZayneAzaryahu]

You can change the position of your tools by dragging them in the inventory menu

[@mommabird9704]

Randomly found you streaming the other day and got to join in on the Honey Lure Bug Catching Madness. It was a lot of fun. Came over to KZbin to Sub and leave a comment. Thanks for the fun play time and group.

[@zoyadulzura7490]

The run and jump to pick up thing is a life saver.

[@tomhat4210]

Did you know that wallpaper can be used on the outside of the house?

[@levink64]

The speedrunning tactics are amazing i hope they keep things like anim canceling in

[@marciajones5685]

Hello perzival it’s nice to see you I got a break so I was able to just watch your vid. Love your video’s by the way & your videos are helping through palia & the rough time you & discord know about

[@PerzivalGG]

I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos!

[@carlaschmeltzer2377]

once you have opened all the little expansions to your plot you can fill your water can at the far left hand front corner of your plot near the pond you can fish at and you dont need to buy the well.

[@DisOa]

not sure if it's been said, but you can do the jump>shoot arrow>right click to animation cancel to keep going a little bit faster as well

[@TizzaGrenge]

One thing I found out pretty early was when going from one area to another when the gate opens and you slow walk to get to the loading spot, you can jump and use your glider when the gate opens then you don't slow walk. OK, only saves a second or two.

[@overstuffedghosty]

We can’t have nice things cause if the Switch! We can’t have item limits expanded in DDV cause of the Switch… we can’t have grass or cattails and other flora and fauna in Palia on the switch. I keep seeing that the Switch 2 is coming out like next year I think and it’s supposed to be comparable to the Deck but we shall see…. 😂

[@robertgronewold3326]

At least the one HUGE thing is that since our game is through an account, we're not stuck to just the Switch. We'll still have our places if we play on PC or Switch 2.

[@bgk-hq6eg]

how about on the switch if you hold the button to use your tool then press the r to open chat while using your tool then release it you keep using it kinda useful when gardening like watering and hoeing also when you press and hold the examine button then exit the garden then release the button the info will stay on there

[@ninaleoni_neshana]

I don’t know if this is helpful but some ppl don’t know, that if you are in the crafter menu, for example the seedmaker and there are finished seeds down there ready to grab, you can drag and drop them directly into your box. Not rightclick to put it in the bags and then go to our box and put them in

[@callthembryden]

the well feels really obvious to me. i built my veg patch near the pond (I'm early in the game) and left a gap in the fence for easy refilling. Will add a gate soon when I can but for the time being the gap works fine.

[@PerzivalGG]

I felt the same way with the Well, especially with it being in the description. However, some people overlook the description.

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

These are such great tips. I don't have the well yet, but I think I might re-arrange my plot so my garden is closer to the pond.

[@ZayneAzaryahu]

Sometimes when hunting a 4 shot serunk deer a rare bug will pop out of the ground often giving silk if you catch it as well

[@nigelcaudill451]

Just started playing this week, and this is perfect. Deer runs about to get alot speedier!

[@Shadowborg]

I built my garden beside the really small pond near the front of your house. You can refill your water there. I just hop over the fence, refill, and hop back over.

[@ninaleoni_neshana]

Love seeing you got a new video, will watch it NOW! The second it’s out 😂🥰

[@PerzivalGG]

LMAO THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@charlibaltimore7641]

I got zero tutorial so, everything is news to me. I saw the wells in ads but wasn't sure we could get them, love that news!

[@1motoke]

I put 30 celebration cakes into my glow worm farm and got over 200 worms with over 700 speed poo

[@JoeRoch1818]

I figured out there is a small fishing spot in the garden area behind eshe and kenli’s mansion, and caught stared fish from it, its to the left when you walk out into the garden area

[@ReylanceGame]

Hello fellow Palians! Fantastic tips and tricks

[@LiaBluBootsiii]

Came here from the discord! Love the discord ❤😊

[@PerzivalGG]

I am so happy you're enjoying it!

[@sars9447]

When you are in kilima or bahari if you want to move slower than the game lets you hit CTRL and walk, like the villagers

[@bgk-hq6eg]

how about on the switch?

[@oinonee]

When the grove appears at 12am you can actually hear where it appears ;P

[@citrikraptor]

I've started playing like three weeks ago. So when I first heard the grove noise, I was so confused. It wasn't until I watched a video that mentioned it. I usually like to hang around the middle of Bahari before it sounds off. I've normally been able to locate it rather quickly.

[@deborahsheets2604]

This was super helpful for a newish player 😊 thanks!

[@RageAsylum187]

Cool didnt know those things thanks dude

[@arielr.5092]

I also loved hotpot and wished it was around always

[@ImportantBeef]

I found a secret room under the lighthouse. Is it new? also the letters in there give me the vibe people are smuggling some illegal stuff

[@Viviolau]

You can sell almost anything at zeki’s since it’s the general store

[@PerzivalGG]

True but it does close at night. However, you can go and sell things at anytime to hodari in bahari. Even at 1 am, just go up to him and sell your rocks to empty your pockets

[@colleen_criss]

Tavern Dwellers, best palia group in discord and communities IG!!

[@shizuma2007]

forgot about the rapid-fire when hunting, shooting your arrows without stopping to click the next shot

[@TerezaCechova]

Great tips, thanks!

[@friesandrupees]

I had always known about selling items to guild member villagers, but I wish that if you sell items to them directly and not to Zeki, we’d make more profit since they’re the direct source for guild items.

[@2Jointz]

The well literally says it's "A convenient location to refill your watering can."

[@PerzivalGG]

Oh I know. A lot of people don’t read the description. Many times I’ve streamed and people straight up said they didn’t know they could refill it in the well.

[@panthakurai5267]

So on Switch that's what.. ZL and ZR same time with a Hoe to delete crops? 🤔

[@sylmaerie]

i think it’s the x button while the hoe is equipped but i might be wrong

[@Krustykat27]

i found out yesterday that you can also see if you gifted them that day as well (i have ADHD and it helps so much when i forget if i gifted someone)

[@iyaahn]

how do you animation cancel?

[@BruceWayne15325]

Another hidden trick is gifting furniture to Tish. You have to build a bunch of furniture to level up your skill, but you may not want it for decorating purposes. Unfortunately, you can't delete it... Enter Tish: She will accept furniture as a gift, she's like a female thrift store. Donate here.

[@patriciayoung3267]

I get lots of salt at Zeki's. LOL

[@krystalvancil]

You can ping party members so you dont get confused with who to follow. My sister thinks you can run faster if you put your tool away while running. I've tried it and I agree with her. Running slightly faster.

[@eds7343]

Likely easier on pc than on switch with the run jump shot.

[@PerzivalGG]

I gave it a go on Switch, it’s definitely doable!

I'm so ready for someone to bring attention to the ridiculous pricing on premium cosmetics. It would be a lil different if there were other ways to unlock stuff for your character aside from the base game, but heck...

[@PerzivalGG]

Oh I’m definitely touching on it soon

[@TheSaneMongrels]

For real. If they lowered the prices, I'd probably spend as much on multiple premium cosmetics as a single set costs now, but I'm offended by the prices, so I won't drop a cent as is.

[@ahrivixen5594]

sudden thought i hope oneday palia gives us more control over our player homes, like the pond most people start out with for their farms, imagin if we could change the terrains we get a bit and are able to move that water , or select different layouts for areas (along side weather) but these are nice hidden features to know of i didnt know of most of them
