New Features & Updates

Summer Pop Up Event

Suns out, and a beach-ready Nai’o is soaking up the season at his new Beach Booth store! Stop by to trade your beach finds for an assortment of summer rewards.

Earn the following finds through your favorite seaside activities:

• Crabshells are acquired by participating in Crab Wars.
• Sea Glass is acquired by Beachcombing/Foraging.
• Iridescent Scales are acquired by Fishing in Saltwater.

Spend your hard-earned treasures on summer treats like beach balls, surfboards, a pirate ship, and more. Keep your eye out for two beach-ready profile icons, each available in two tones.

Bulletin Board

Reth is ready to throw the beach party of the summer, but Eshe isn’t about to hand out a permit without proof it’ll be worth the crowd. Help Reth turn this into the hottest party in Kilima by contributing requested items via the Bulletin Board.

Upon the completion of the Bulletin Board, you will receive an Ignit Voucher for your ranch. Once the festivities are in full swing, be sure to stop by and see the party for yourself!

Path of the Maws

We’re splashing into the newest Lunar Path: Path of the Maws.

This is a celebration of all things Shark, where players can sink their teeth into ocean-inspired rewards.

Here are some of the fin-tastic rewards waiting for you on the Path of the Maws:

• Maws Goggles
• Shark Swarm Toolskins
• Chum Buckets
• Maws Hats
• Giga River Shark Plush
• Giga Maws Plush
• Beachcomber Tops
• Angler’s Fortune
• Highlands Shark
• Chomped Frogbert
• …and more!

The Path of the Maws is packed with fishing-focused rewards, buffs, and supplies to help anglers of all skill levels make the most of Shark Season. The Path also introduces the new Highland Shark, which can only be unlocked through the Path of the Maws. Once you've earned it, you'll be able to catch it in the Royal Highlands permanently.

The Path of the Maws features 28 levels of free and Premium rewards. The Premium Upgrade is 1275 Palia Coins, but as always the free path is free, so don’t forget to dive in!

Maws and Paws

Make a splash, it’s Shark Season!

Celebrate Shark Season with Maws and Paws, a week-long community collection event built around hunting Sharks and Ogopuu.

Contribute however you prefer, whether tracking down Maws or chasing Ogopuu. As the community hits milestones, new rewards unlock for everyone.

Maws and Paws also runs alongside Path of the Maws, where you can encounter the newly introduced Highland Shark. Every Highland Shark caught will count as bonus points toward community progress!

Maws and Paws runs from July 20 to July 27, 2026.

For more details on rewards and participation, check out our blog post.

Welcome the Ignit

We're heating up the ranch with the introduction of the Ignit!

The Ignit is a Fire Elemental that produces Molten Ore, a new crafting material used to create the Builder's Magma block set.

Molten Ore can also be found as a rare drop from mining nodes, but Ignits are the most efficient way to collect it.

Players can keep up to 10 Ignits on their ranch at a time.

Photo Mode Upgrade

Strike a pose! Players can now access the standard Emote Wheel while in Photo Mode, and can also switch Saved Outfits without leaving the camera. Simply use the same buttons you normally use to open these tabs during gameplay.

With your full emote collection at your finger tips, this upgrade makes it easier than ever to capture the perfect moment. No more scrambling, only styling!

Profile Icons

Show off a little more of your personality with the introduction of Profile Icons!

Through the Character Profile screen, players can now choose their Profile Icon using the new “Change Icon” option, featuring a variety of fun designs to pick from. Your selected icon will appear across social features, including the Friends Menu.

We’ve added a variety of icons to get things started, with even more planned for future updates!

Teleport to Friends

You can now teleport directly to your friends via a new button in the Social Panel, located in the Friends Menu next to the Server Sync button. This feature uses the same cooldown as the “Teleport Home” button, so plan carefully.

If your friend is on the same map or server, you’ll teleport instantly, and if they are on a different map or server, you will load and travel directly to their location in the world. Please note you must be friends with a player to teleport to them, and this only works while they are in the world, not on their home plot.

Additionally, Hearth Potions have been reworked into Teleport Potions. Existing Hearth Potions will still function but will no longer be obtainable. Teleport Potions are now treated as a currency, and any quests that previously rewarded Hearth Potions will now instead grant Teleport Potions, which can be used to travel home or teleport directly to friends, even while on cooldown.

Improvements & Adjustments

Seasonal Bloom Event Update

We have added Hydrangea and Tiger Lilies as a potential flower drop to the Bloom event. (There is also a small chance to acquire one of the original Potato Pods bags!)

Friends List Improvements

The Friends List has been upgraded, including a general indicator showing when your friends were last online. We’ve also added performance improvements to the social menu!

Sparkly Effect

The 'Sparkly' cosmetic effect for horse-type mounts in the ranch now also includes the tail.
