Palia’s latest major update has arrived, bringing with it plenty of exciting fresh content to explore. The Toadstool Tales update has quite a lot packed into it, so you may need some help navigating all of it to ensure you don’t miss out on anything.
Reviewing all the new update features before you start exploring is a helpful way to figure out where you want to start. Like most updates, this one has plenty to explore, so to ensure you’re aware of everything it entails, here are the patch notes for Palia’s Toadstool Tales update.
Palia’s Toadstool Tales update features new quests revolving around the Zendruu Tree, friendship quests for Ulfe, photo mode upgrades, new seasonal events, cosmetic items, and other such assets for the Spring season, and so much more. Here’s a full breakdown of the patch notes for this update.
Zendruu Tree quests
It’s time to venture deeper into The Elderwood with a series of new story quests focused on exploring the Zendruu Tree. In this quest series, you’ll pick up right where the last story missions left off, which means it’s time to return to The Elderwood Adventure Zone and confront the ancient Zendruu Tree. Your goal is to heal the forest and get answers to mysteries surrounding it.
Ulfe friendship quests
Ulfe, a villager you can meet in Elderwood, is being upgraded to a full-on companion you can befriend in this update. He’s finally getting quests, which means you can steadily work on getting to know him better and progressing his storyline.
For now, he only has friendship levels one through four, as many villagers do, but this may be expanded upon in the future. He’s also part of the new main storyline quests revolving around the Zendruu Tree and The Elderwood.
Photo mode improvements
Palia’s photo mode feature got a foundational upgrade with this update, which essentially means the basic framework for it has been reworked and improved. It was pretty tough to use effectively prior to this update, so this change was certainly needed. It’s certainly better now, but this doesn’t seem to be the final form for photo mode, so we can likely expect to see additional updates to it in the future.
Path of the Tadpole
A new reward track called Path of the Tadpole has arrived with this update. Similar to past Paths, this one is essentially Palia’s version of a battle pass you can work through to earn exclusive prizes.
Spring Bounty Bundle Board
The Bulletin Board has been updated with a new bundle you can complete, which is the Spring Bounty Bundle. This is the eighth Bullittern Board bundle, and like all the ones that came before it, there are several unique missions you can work through to earn rewards.
New items
A fresh update also means plenty of new items to collect. Some can be found in the shop, some may be available around the world, and some may require other means to unlock. Here are all of the new items featured in this one.
- Flower Fairy set
- Alchemist cottage conservatory and fireplace add-ons
- Honeybunch decor
- Wolpunny ranching animal
- Lilypad glider
- Golden Glory Bee and Bahari Bee Bahari Plushes
- New recipe
Spring activities
Spring has arrived in Palia, bringing with it some general aesthetic changes to the world to fit this time of year. This season also introduces the Open Season event, a fresh festival that’s perfect for hunters, fishers, and adventurers.
Ranching Retirement Acres
Watching animals get older and eventually perish can be quite sad and disheartening in Palia. Luckily, you can now keep them alive forever thanks to the new Ranching Retirement Acres feature. It allows you to keep your favorite animals safe from death forever by retiring them.
While you’re out and about enjoying this update, there are plenty of tasks you might want to work on. You may wish to learn how to get Sweet Leaf, where to find Oily Anchovy, and how to complete the Answering the Call quest.
