The Palia community has, once again, been encouraged to come together, as the Halloween month begins the festive season in the game. Players will have the opportunity to participate in spooky-themed activities, purchase seasonal items, and participate in themed activities, to celebrate the scariest time of year.
With the introduction of a new month comes a refreshed bulletin board, with October carrying with the horror theme of the season. In this guide, we will outline how to complete the Spiritfest Bundle Board in Palia, as well as tips on how to achieve it, and what rewards you can expect for your hard work.
Palia: All Ranching Animals (& How To Unlock Them)
Palia's 0.195 patch introduced Animal Husbandry to the game, allowing players to raise animals on their own ranch.
Palia's Spiritfest Bundle, Explained
To get players into the spirit of Halloween, and to coincide with the annual opening of the spooky store, Palia has refreshed the Bulletin Board with a number of Halloween-themed items to contribute for rewards. Some of these are items that are found during usual gameplay, while others focus on the time-limited items and events that are only around for the duration of Spiritfest season.
The Bundle Board is located in the center of Kilima Village, in the courtyard where the stores are located. For each item players collect, they can go to the board and contribute them, even if they don't have all the required quantity, to avoid taking up space in their inventory. Board progress can also be checked from the in-game menu by navigating to the seasonal tab on the far left, and checking the Bundle Board subsection.
How to Complete All Spiritfest Bundles
Players will need to complete four distinctly different bundles to clear the Spiritfest Bundle Board, with each bundle containing four objectives. For each individual bundle completed, you will receive XP toward your Friendship Level with Najuma, along with additional rewards.
How To Complete Candy Bundle
The most accessible bundle on the Spiritfest board is the Candy Bundle, which requires players to collect the four colors of Candy Corn in the game and contribute them to the board. This is a great place to start, as the rewards also allow you to complete other bundles.
There are four types of Candy Corn, each separated by color. Here's how you can complete the Candy Bundle.
|
Candy Corn Color |
Quantity Required |
How To Get |
|---|---|---|
|
Blue |
15 |
Random drop when fishing at any location. |
|
Purple |
4 |
Can be found in two daily dig locations in Elderwood (where you acquire Artifacts) |
|
Green |
15 |
Random drop when mining at any location. |
|
Yellow |
15 |
Random drop when bug-catching at any location. |
Once you complete the bundle, you will be awarded 2 x Jack O' Lantern Lures and an increase in relationship approval with Najuma.
How To Complete the Food Bundle
Given cooking is one of the core gameplay mechanics in Palia, it's no surprise that the game has an entire bundle dedicated to crafting some tasty and spooky dishes. Players are encouraged to cook as much as they can throughout the month, as some of these dishes require proficiency in the cooking skill, or to come together as a community in group cooking sessions. Here are the requirements for the Spiritfest Food Bundle:
|
Item |
Quantity Required |
How To Get |
|---|---|---|
|
Soon Tofu (starred) |
10 |
Reach level 6 in cooking and purchase the recipe from Reth for 1,500 gold. |
|
Ramen (starred) |
10 |
Reach level x in cooking and purchase the recipe from Reth for 200 gold |
|
Elderwood Pie |
10 |
You will earn this by completing the Little Bumble's Pie quest by finding a missing letter in Elderwood |
|
Congee |
10 |
Complete Eshe's main quest Your Order Is Served. The recipe needs to be cooked at a campfire |
Some of the recipes will require a lot of work for players to get their hands on, especially those who are new to Palia, but there is, thankfully, a handy workaround. If you don't currently have one of the recipes you need, then you can still cook and gain these dishes by cooking with someone who already has them. If you complete one step of any recipe, then you and your cooking partner/s will all get the same number of dishes.
In the context of this bundle, the exception is Congee. As the recipe has only one step, you will need to cook this one yourself. Thankfully, the main quests aren't overly difficult or time-consuming, so most should be able to comfortably unlock it during the event.
The top two recipes in the bundle require premium quality dishes, so make sure to use starred ingredients where possible to increase your chance of making starred dishes.
Once you complete the bundle, you will be awarded 3,000 Infected Essence and an increase in relationship approval with Najuma.
How to Complete the Pumpkin Bundle
Before players can complete the Pumpkin Bundle, they will first need to fulfill the requirements of either the Candy or Shrine Offerings bundles, or play with friends that have already. The reason for this is that Pumpkin Rockhoppers can only be acquired by using Jack O' Lantern Lures, so make sure to complete a bundle or get involved with someone else's bug-catching event with this limited-time lure.
The Pumpkin board contains four item categories, which can be acquired in the following ways:
|
Item |
Quantity Required |
How To Get |
|---|---|---|
|
Pumpkin Rockhopper |
25 |
Use a Jack O' Lantern Lure to spawn these creatures. They are easy to identify as they are orange with a Jack O' Lantern print on their backs. |
|
Rockhopper Pumpkin |
25 |
You can purchase these from Badruu's crop store near his farm for 350 gold. One pumpkin produces four seeds in the Seed Maker, so the most cost-efficient way to do it is to buy one and plant the seeds. |
|
Pumpkin Curry and Rice |
10 |
You will earn this recipe by completing the Airtight Plan quest from Najuma, which requires Friendship Level 3 |
|
Pumpkin Stew |
10 |
Reach cooking level 8 and purchase the recipe from Reth's guild store for 2,500 gold. |
Once you complete the bundle, you will be awarded 3,000 Infected Essence and an increase in relationship approval with Najuma.
How to Complete the Shrine Offerings Bundle
The Shrine Offerings bundle is an interesting one, as completing it requires a combination of very simple tasks, time-specific events, and a bit of luck.
As is the case with the other bundles, there are four types of items to collect:
|
Item |
Quantity Required |
How To Get |
|---|---|---|
|
Elderwood Cosmo |
10 |
These can be collected randomly during the daily Piksii Blossom Bounce event in the Deep Woods section of Elderwood from 10pm in-game time. |
|
Sapphire |
1 |
Sapphires are a rare loot you can grab from mining. There's no guaranteed way to get it, but try mining metal ores as much as possible. |
|
Spooky Floating Candle |
4 |
These can be bought from the Halloween store just outside of Zeki's shop for 300 gold each. Don't confuse them with Spooky Floating Candles, which are more expensive. |
|
Umbraan Wreath |
4 |
These can be crafted, however you will need to reach Furniture Building level 8, purchase the Umbraan Starter Kit from Tish, then craft other Umbraan items until you unlock the Wreath's recipe. |
Once you complete the bundle, you will be awarded 2 x Jack O' Lantern Lures and an increase in relationship approval with Najuma.
