Spiritfest Returns

The Veil is thinning... Spiritfest has crept back into Kilima Village, and this year, we’re celebrating with a few new tricks along with the treats. The Spooky Moon Store is open for business, stocked with all the delightfully questionable Decor your Home Plot could possibly need: coffin beds, gargoyles, bottled poison (!?!?!), and even a bat roost that sends its residents fluttering when you wander past.

You may also notice a couple of strange new materials turning up around the world of Palia during the event. Ectoplasm can appear as a rare bonus when gathering any forageable, and has all the gooey texture of melted marshmallow… but with considerably less appeal (to most). Tattered Cloth, meanwhile, can be collected from the prowling Ghastly Jaakcats, a type of spectral Jaakcat with little interest in being friendly. Bring both Ectoplasm and Tattered Cloth to the Bulletin Board and put your Spiritfest finds to good use. Read below for the new Spiritfest materials and the acquisition methods/location(s):

Item

Loot / Craft / Purchase Location

Ectoplasm

Rare drop from any forageable during Spiritfest. Turned in at the Bulletin Board.

Tattered Cloth

Dropped by Ghastly Jaakcats during Spiritfest. Turned in at the Bulletin Board.

Spiritfest runs for a limited time only, so gather what you will while the haunts are fresh through the end of October (independent of patch cycles).

Bulletin Board: Spiritfest

Elouisa ain’t afraid of no ghosts! Help her track down the spectral scoundrel terrorizing Kilima by contributing requested items through the Bulletin Board.

Complete the Bulletin Board to earn L’il Ghosties, a cluster of tiny, easily-trodden-on spectres that will also become available from the Spooky Moon Store. Finish the Outro quest and you’ll also receive a Spooky Moon Token, an especially rare Spiritfest currency, with only one available to earn each Spiritfest celebration. Choose how you spend it carefully... very carefully. For exactly what that means, see New Player Titles below.

New Player Titles

Four new Spiritfest Player Titles have arrived, but there’s a frightful little catch. The Vampire, The Werewolf, and The Witch can be claimed from the Spooky Moon Store using a Spooky Moon Token. But with only one Token available to earn each year, you’ll need to choose your creature carefully. Claim one, and the other two will slip back into the shadows. The fourth Player Title is earned through the Path of the Ghastly… no spooky sacrifice required, hehe. Read below for the new Player Titles and the acquisition methods/location(s):

Player Title

Loot / Craft / Purchase Location

The Vampire

Path of the Ghastly

A new Lunar Path awaits only the most brave and stalwart Palians: the Path of the Ghastly. This Lunar Path fully celebrates the joy of Halloween Spiritfest, with costumes fit for creatures of the night, Decor made for haunting your (Home Plot) halls, an e[y]erie-looking fishing bobber, and more.

The Path of the Ghastly features 21 levels of free and Premium rewards. The Premium Upgrade for the Path of the Ghastly is 1275 Palia Coins, but as always the free path is available for all players; so don’t forget to activate it when you login! Head in-game for a full list of free and Premium rewards.

Welcome the Palcat to the Ranch

A new set of claws paws pads onto the ranch! With sharp claws, a keen nose, and a talent for getting their paws dirty, Palcats are especially good at sniffing out and digging up Herbs thanks to their Herb Hunter trait.

Palcats come in six coat colors: Clove, Pepper, Wisp, Belladonna, Crystal, and Turmeric, and can inherit the Socks or Wild Stripes pattern. You may even encounter a Twinkling Palcat, with a distinctly magical glow that does absolutely nothing to help their case against the Flow allegations (iykyk). Read below for the new Palcats and the acquisition methods/location(s):

New Villager Friendships

Friendship Level 5 has finally arrived for Sifuu, Hassian, Taylin, and Ulfe! Just make sure you’ve completed each Villager’s Friendship Level 4 quests before diving into their new stories.

Four new quests will take you even deeper into their stories, with new moments, new discoveries, and a little more insight into what makes each of them tick. Complete each quest and you’ll head home with a special piece of Decor inspired by each Villager. And if you were curious about Sifuu’s literary tastes, well… let’s just say they’re apparently extremely high-brow. Read below for the new Friendship rewards and the acquisition methods/location(s):
