Meet the Animals
Among other things, we’ll talk about the various animals you’ll get to see like the iconic and much-loved Chapaa! A squirrel-like little animal that runs around the grassy fields in Palia! You’ll find a bunch of these rascals running around the place!

Fishing

Kilima Village

Kilima isn’t just a Village where everyone gathers and tends to their everyday chores. It is a home for all and a welcoming realm for the Villagers, players, and animals alike. Nearby the main village, resources can be spotted, mined, and gathered and can even be sold in one of the many shops in Kilima Village.
In Kilima Village, you can find various shops and buildings, including Zeki’s shop where you can buy and sell different items such as crafting recipes, crops seeds, fishing worms, and more. Additionally, you can find useful materials all over the village, such as Chapaa and Sernuk meat for cooking, animal hides for crafting, clay along the beaches and waterlines, and copper near hills and mountains.
Bahari Bay

Bahari Bay is home to Hodari, his shop and Najuma, his daughter. The father-and-daughter combo will surely give you nothing but a good time in Palia. Aside from this, Bahari Bay is different from Kilima Village since some materials and items can only be found in certain places. If Clay and Copper are abundant around Kilima Village, Iron and Palium ore are abundant around Bahari Bay.
Kilima Village has its Chapaa and its Sernuk while Bahari Bay also has majestic animals only found in specific areas. Journey to Bahari Bay to see different kinds of life. The Proudhorn Sernuk, Striped Chapaa, and many more.
