There are various fish types in Palia that players can catch while doing the Fishing Guild. Catching common and rare fish is the crucial step of leveling up the Fishing Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Fishing Rod as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Fishing Guild Store. One of the common fish that players can get is Yellow Perch currently required as a weekly want for Einar.

This guide will walk you through where to find and catch Yellow Perch in Palia.

Where to Find Yellow Perch in Palia

Yellow Perch can be found in Bahari Rivers at any time of the day. There are several spots in Bahari Bay to fish in the Bahari Rivers, but one of the best fishing spots to find Yellow Perch is the waterfall beside Thorny Thicket located on the northern side of Bahari Bay.

How to Catch Yellow Perch in Palia

Upon reaching the fishing location of Bahari Bay, you need to start catching fish in the deep area of the lake with no bait.

Cast the line as far as you can with your fishing rod and wait for the bobber to shake three times. As the bobber starts to move after the third shake, reel in the fish by holding the Left-Click Button and moving the mouse to keep the fish inside the brackets to catch the fish.

Uses of Yellow Perch in Palia

Yellow Perch can be sold for 33 Gold (Base) or 49 Gold (Star Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or to those who have a weekly want for it. Currently, Einar is in need of a Yellow Perch until August 11, 2024, so if you have got one make sure to bring it to him.

Various flowers in Palia are used for decoration, gifting, and as resources for crafting furniture items. Each flower has a specific area where it grows in a limited number. One of the flowers that grow in low quantity and are harder to find is the Heartdrop Lily which is also required for completing a couple of quests.

This guide will help you find the Heartdrop Lily in Palia.

Where to Find Heartdrop Lily in Palia

Heartdrop Lily is found growing on the cliffs of the mountains in the Bahari Bay map zone from Day to Night in-game time (6 AM – 9 PM). The locations where it can be found often are the mountain cliffs south of the Flooded Steps and the mountain cliffs north of the Statue Garden in Bahari Bay.

The Heartdrop Lily is an Epic Flower and spawns in low quantity on the cliffs, and the most frequent location where we found it the most is the Flooded Steps cliffs. Make your way up to the mountain on the northeast of the Ancient Aquaduct road and you will find a Heartdrop Lily on one of the cliffs.

NOTE: You must come to the spawn locations during the in-game time of 6 AM to 9 PM to be able to find the Heartdrop Lily flowers.

Moreover, if you can’t find Heartdrop Lily, you can purchase it from Foraging Guild (Ashura) for 20 Foraging Medals.

Uses of Heartdrop Lily in Palia

The Heartdrop Lily flower is used in the following couple of quests.

• A Romantic Surprise
• Mysterious Brew

It is used as a special gift item to romanceable villagers. You can sell it for 100 Gold to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or to those who need it.

Palia offers various types of Bugs that players can catch while doing the Bug Catching Guild. Catching all rarities of bugs is the crucial step of leveling up the Bug Catching Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Belt as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Bug Catching Guild Store. One of the Uncommon Bugs that players can catch is Lunar Fairy Moth which is currently required as a weekly want for Tamala.

This guide will focus on where you can find and how you can catch the Lunar Fairy Moth in Palia.

Where to Find Lunar Fairy Moth in Palia

The Lunar Fairy Moth is an Uncommon bug in Palia that spawns throughout the evening and night (6 PM – 3 AM) in the Bahari Fields. You have a chance of finding one out in the open while traversing the open fields or on top of the cliffs in Bahari Bay. However, the fields and cliffs in the southern areas have a higher chance of finding it such as Pulsewater Plains, Hideaway Bluffs, and above the Pavel Mines.

How to Catch Lunar Fairy Moth in Palia

Catching the Lunar Fairy Moth is similar to catching Paper Lantern Bugs. However, stunning the Lunar Fairy Moth will require multiple Smoke Bombs so, make sure you bring enough to stun it when you find it. If the Lunar Fairy Moth gets alerted, it will try to flee by flying away. It is best to throw the Sticky Smoke Bombs on it to slow it down and then use the regular Smoke Bombs to stun it.

Once you have stunned the Lunar Fairy Moth, simply go near it and interact with it to pick it up. Picking up Lunar Fairy Moth will have a chance to drop Datura Flower and Lunar Fairy Moth Plush.

Uses of Lunar Fairy Moth in Palia

Lunar Fairy Moth can be sold for 40 Gold (Base) and 60 Gold (Star Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or to those who have a weekly want for it. Currently, Tamala is in need of a Lunar Fairy Moth until August 11, 2024, so if you have got one make sure to bring it to her.

The Site

WordPress.com acknowledged once again that I posted every day for a year straight, a reminder than quantity does not equal quality.

Another year gone by…

Also, it only says that because I changed the time zone setting for the blog from UTC to Pacific time which changed my streak when it recalculated it.  The count should be around 1,522, but I posted the occasional item for the next day before midnight Pacific time so the changing of the time setting changed what counted.  That’s the way it goes.

There is a Dril tweet for all occasions

Also, the chaos that social media has become has taken a lot of the edge off of Dril these days.  But that is for another post I suppose.

Anyway, I am not mad because what is a posting streak anyway?  Plus, WP.com did something nice this month… they paid me.  Those ads some of you had to endure earlier in the year paid the hosting fee for the site for 2024.

Getting Paid

Granted, they took their time about it.  But dollars are dollars… and they are in my PayPal account just in time for me to blow it all on the Steam Summer Sale in June, if I can wait that long.

Then there is my other site, EVE Online Pictures, which I have let slide this month.  Part of that is due to not playing much EVE Online, so not having any new screen shots… I am surprisingly picky about what I post there, though you might not believe that if you scroll through the place… has taken the edge off.  That and the fact that not posting has had pretty much zero impact on traffic… nobody visits when I post, so it is hard to go downhill from there… has made it easy to ignore.  I might go back to it with the new expansion… but after 16 years of being essentially unknown, it might also be time to let the experiment fade.

The question back in 2008 was whether or not an all pictures blog about EVE Online could achieve some level of popularity.  The answer, in this case, seems to be “no.”

One Year Ago

EVE Online turned 20 and the month long capsuleer day celebrations kicked off.  I did my own post reflecting on the two decades of the game.

CCP was also talking about the upcoming Viridian expansion, which included tech II capital ships.

I also did a bullet point post about the game that included the deadline to get on the monument, the minutes from the CSM17 summit, the delay of the CSM18 election, fireworks in Jita, the building of the first shipcaster, an ESS theft story, and the end of the BOSS alliance.  Then I did another one, again mentioning the monument, chat channel issues, the MER, player made billboards, a T-shirt design contest, and the Pearl Abyss financials.

I was considering average daily destruction as a metric for EVE Online and looked into the April 2023 destruction count.  I also wondered how many skill points were enough in New Eden.

Over at Enad Global 7, My Singing Monsters was still making the most money, but investment groups were demanding more money from the company, suggesting that the company explore being sold.  Good thing Embracer Group didn’t get hold of them.

In Wrath Classic I had accomplished some of my goals in Wintergrasp and the Argent Tournament, though I could not yet build Jeeves.  The group managed to get through The Oculus,

Blizzard said they were going to make a hardcore mode server for WoW Classic and they introduced WoW Tokens to Wrath Classic.

I started my lossless scaling experiment to see if that would make LOTRO more playable on my 34″ wide screen monitor.  It helped, but couldn’t overcome all of my large screen issues.  That was just in time for the 16th anniversary.  Meanwhile, Amazon said they were again interested in doing a Middle-earth game.

In the AI Question Time series I asked about a tank in EVE Online, sandbox MMO options, whether it could generate some ideas for an RPG campaign, including a royal family, and about Wilhelm Arcturus.

I was on about timing lucky eggs with friendship levels in Pokemon Go.  That is probably my most popular post from 2023.

I did a mail bag post after being inundated by media op offers.

I caught up with HBO becoming Max, Netflix ending its DVD services, and MTV just ending, along with some more binge watching.

I was checking out Twitter alternatives as Elon’s reign kept getting dumber and dumber.

Finally, it was Memorial Day once more.

Five Years Ago

Back in May of 2018 there was a rumor leak about Daybreak, so a year later I went back over them to see what came to pass.

Blizzard revenue margins dropped considerably.  As if to prove the point, WoW dropped off of SuperData’s digital revenue chart.

To hide that in the news cycle Blizzard gave us a date for WoW Classic. I wondered if the Cataclysm expansion was a necessary prerequisite for WoW Classic.  I also was speculating as to what would happen with WoW Classic as it aged.

The beta for WoW Classic had been up for a while, but they decided to do a stress test, so they let everybody in for a bit.  Of course I went!  And I did the following week as well.

In what we now call retail WoW I was off collecting the Children’s Week pets.

Blizzard also gave us a peek at their 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition.

The Mittani uttered the words, “Gevlon was right” in a public forum.

EVE Online celebrated its sixteen year anniversary with a sixteen day login campaign.  The Invasion expansion was slated for the end of the month.  Its arrival brought more Triglavian fun to the game as well as the big revamp of The Agency interface and some war dec changes.

CCP Peligro Tweeted out a chart about who gets banned for botting in New Eden.  CCP had also been trying to nerf ratting and mining, so that was the focus of my MER review that month.

The CSM14 election was coming up and Jester did a Reddit AMA about his time on the CSM as his NDA had finally expired.  I also had a bullet points post about CSM14 candidates and rewards and a coming war and such.

Out in Delve I got to undock my dreadnought.

With Liberty Squad I went on ops to Amamake and into Etherium reach that resulted in explosions.  I also got to drop on some Rorquals with Black Ops.

But people were focused on the coming Imperium attack on the north and where it would land.  Even as we formed up and moved vast fleets to the north of null sec, our target was still speculation, though once we set up shop in the east of Pure Blind it looked like Tribute was the target.  There was a rush to see if we could kill the PanFam staging Keepstar, but when that failed we settled in to burn down the region.

In Minecraft I was growing bamboo and looking for the new village types that came in with the Village & Pillage update.  The I went looking for pillagers.

Connor at MMO Fallout announced that the site was winding down… and then he changed his mind.

And I watched the Catch-22 miniseries on Hulu.  I liked some of it, but there were issues for me.  There always are.

Ten Years Ago

EA killed off Mythic Entertainment.  They had already handed over Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot to Broadsword, so what was left in any case?

The news about post-Kickstarter Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen continued to be off-putting.

I got another seven day trial in Landmark.

The strategy group started in on our BIG map campaign in Civilization V.

Nintendo announced Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were coming in November. They also closed down the WiFi game services for the Nintendo DS and Wii, which led EA to shut down the server support for 50 games a month later.  Most of them were DS and Wii related, but EA used the opportunity to kill off some PC game support as well.

Nintendo also launched Mario Kart 8, one of the few bright spots on the otherwise disappointing Wii U.  Soon the Luigi death stare was everywhere.

In EverQuest the Fippy Darkpaw progression server wrapped up the Seeds of Destruction expansion.

In EVE Online I was wondering about the prospects for a summer war.  Everybody just assumed that there would be one, though in null sec the various empires seemed to be settling in and consolidating.  Sure, there was the trap at Daras… another on the list of reasons we shy away from low sec… the run down to Placid for a kill, and that op down in Syndicate (my post on which stirred up some sour grapes about day one players) but otherwise things were quiet.  That left plenty of time to go find my name on the monument.

As EVE Online turned eleven I was wondering if the alleged ‘learning cliff’ was still the biggest issue facing EVE Online.

Meanwhile CCP announced they were getting off the twice a year, huge update release pattern in order to have releases… named releases for a while… every month.  This led into a post about the pacing of content delivery.

In World of Warcraft the Timeless Isle was still a thing.  The Warlords of Draenor expansion was still over the horizon and subscriptions were down to 7.6 million under the weight of wait.  That seemed like a big drop until Warlords of Draenor fell to 5 million two years later.   Meanwhile, our group was slowing down a bit even as we started in on dungeons in Pandaria.

In attempt to make plans for another summer hiatus, I gave Star Wars: The Old Republic a try, going through the Sith starting area.

And then there was the kick off of the 2014 Newbie Blogger Initiative.

Fifteen Years Ago

I was able to expose the true conspiracy behind the EuroGamer Darkfall review.  Powerful forces have been suppressing this story ever since.

EA lost a billion dollars.  This came after the CEO announced that recessions were good because they eliminate competitors.  They can also eliminate bad execs.

Meanwhile, EverQuest was celebrating its 10 year anniversary by putting up a new server.  Polled on what it should be, people chose the 51/50 rule set.  I’m sure that, somehow, that says something about MMOs and nostalgia.  I cannot recall how that server even played out at this point.

I went back and played some Blizzard classics, Diablo II and StarCraft, both of which received  patches that meant you no longer needed the CD to play.  This was prompted by Blizzard’s pushing people towards Battle.net and the announcement of the opt-in for the StarCraft II beta.  I opted in right away.  I hear that some people got in to the beta almost a year later. *cough*

In New Eden, it was new ship time, as I picked up both an Orca and a Buzzard.  I also managed to lose my Cerebus.   Oops.

And speaking of EVE Online, I announced my one year experiment, EVE Online Pictures.

CCP put a new boxed version of EVE Online on store shelves.  I bought a copy and made a fabulous new character.

In World of Warcraft the instance group was moving along slowly.  We did hit Azjol Nerub, but vacations and such kept us down to four people, so we spent a bit of time back in Burning Crusade doing heroics and generally messing around.  That included our run into Ogrimmar to do Ragefire Chasm.

I also messed around with the Noblegarden holiday.  I actually got all the achievements for that.  However, Children’s Week was another story.

Playboy’s “Massively Casual Online Game” Playboy Manager was announced.  The game was supposed to launch in the summer of 2009 according to the press release.  There was a whole story about what happened… but you’ll have to search up on it because it is too long to repeat here.

And then there was a little game called Minecraft that was first made available in early access back in May 2009.  Estimates put it as possibly the best selling game of all time.

Twenty Years Ago

Nintendo announces a new console code named Revolution to follow from the GameCube.  Revolution would latter be given the official name Wii.

Twenty-Five Years Ago

Nintendo started talking about Project Dolphin, the console to follow the Nintendo 64.  This would eventually become the GameCube.

The 4th Coming, an early MMORPG developed by the French Canadian firm Vircom Interactive, is officially launched.  The game is still running and being updated as of this writing by DialSoft, which took over the title in 2006.

Thirty Years Ago

Chaos Studios, once called Silicone & Synapse, having changed its name to Ogre Studios the month before due to a trademark claim by Chaos Technologies, changed its name one last time and became Blizzard Entertainment.

Game Time from ManicTime

WoW Classic, with Cataclysm showing up, got the gang back together and into Azeroth.  Clearly I spent a lot of time there… and all the more so due to Valheim issues.  At the bottom end is Palia, which I tried briefly early in the month for somebody’s friend code bonus and… I don’t really remember much… and the retail WoW, where I logged in to collect something and to check an achievement.

• WoW Classic – 80.02%
• EVE Online – 6.68%
• EverQuest – 5.86%
• Valheim – 5.66%
• Palia – 1.72%
• World of Warcraft – 0.06%

EVE Online

I did managed to collect all 30 daily rewards for capsuleer day/month in celebration of the game’s 21st anniversary.  I even logged in and went on a couple of fleets, got on my requisite kill mail, updated my PI… and did nothing else.  I am kind of waiting around for the Equinox expansion to show up to see what that will mean.

EverQuest

I spent a bit of time running around old Norrath in search of starting points.  I think I have one more post in me on that front, if I can find some words.  But I think come June and the launch of the EverQuest II Origins Server that I might need to turn my eye towards post-cataclysm Norrath.

Pokemon Go

As noted earlier this month, my wife and I finally made it past the final task to get to level 45, which meant we were already halfway to 46 on the xp front.

• Level: 45 (+1, now 57% of the way to 46 in xp, 1 of 4 level tasks complete)
• Pokedex status: 825 (+4) caught, 839 (+5) seen
• Vivillon Evolutions obtained: 15 of 20
• Pokemon I want: Three specific Scatterbugs; Sandstorm, Icy Snow, and Meadow
• Current buddy: Varoom… which is really a Pokemon, I swear

Valheim

The letdown of the Ashlands and Iron Gate going all in on “you must suffer to play our game!” along with the arrival of Cata Classic made for a pretty steep downturn in my play time here, which is saying something because so for in 2024 Valheim is my most played title by a fair margin.  I still want to try The Queen in the Mistlands, but that will probably be then end of things until somebody rolls up a “make the Ashlands available to casuals” mod like the mist removal mod for the Mistlands.

WoW Classic

Cataclysm Classic is now a thing.  It may not be a popular thing, but it does seem to be our thing.  For all the issues it has and my general angst about it as an expansion, I have spent more time playing it than anything else this month.  We’ll see how that carries on though…

Zwift

My last entry for Zwift.  As I noted earlier this month, they sent me a note saying that on my next billing cycle they would be raising the price to $20 a month.  That prompted me to cancel immediately.  I thought I had the rest of May to ride because the note said my next billing date was June 6… however, that was wrong and I found my account lapsed by mid-month.  So it goes.  These are my final numbers for Zwift.

• Level – 27
• Distanced cycled – 1,980.5 miles
• Time spent riding – 4d 8h 23m
• Elevation climbed – 72,375
• Calories burned – 58,617 (+1,323)

Going back to something I was doing previously, that distance would be about from my house to Davenport, Iowa.

Coming Up

On June 11th we’re going to get the Equinox expansion for EVE Online, so that will be a thing that I will be there to try out.

Over at Daybreak, the EverQuest II time locked expansion server Anashti Sul will go live, and I want to take a peek into that.

Traisland, the Tencent MMORPG that the gaming press cannot stop calling a WoW rip-off, is set to go live on June 21.  Given that it is following the free to play model, it is likely I will give it a try.

The first day of summer… the summer solstice is on Thursday, June 20th, should see the start of the Steam Summer Sale.  Like I need more titles in my back log.  Still, there it is.

And then there is Cataclysm Classic.  We’re invested for the moment and the first dungeon is waiting for us.

Hodari’s Grill is an item in Palia that allows you to cook various items. Cooking in this game is a great way to get your own consumables that have many different uses.

In this guide, we will be looking at how to get Hodari’s Grill. To get this grill, you will need to interact with Hodari and complete a short quest for him.

How to Get Hodari’s Grill

You can get Hodari’s Grill upon completing the “It Must Flow” quest for Hodari. The grill is a reward for completing the quest.

Once you get the grill, you can use it to cook consumables. Some very special recipes in Palia let you create unique consumable items.

How to Complete the Quest

To start the quest, you will need to get to Hodari’s house. His house can be found in the Bahari region on the map. The image above indicates where the house is.

Once you are inside Hodari’s house, head on over to the kitchen to start the quest. Inside his kitchen, you can go up to an empty shelf and interact with it to accept the “It Must Flow” quest. Find Hodari and talk to him to proceed with the quest.

For the quest, you will need to gather some different spices that were stolen from Hodari’s house. There will be markers on your map to help you get to the different spices scattered in the area. All of the spices you need to find will be within the Bahari region.

There is a checklist on your screen to help you keep track of the different spices. To collect a spice, all you need to do is go up to it and interact with it.

Once you gather all the spices, go back to Hodari and talk to him. He will then require you to help him cook an item using the spices you gathered, after which he will give you a spare grill that he has.

You can place the grill anywhere in your house area and use it to cook items.
