Everything You Need To Know About Badruu

I spent hours and hours playing Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin and was hooked on its complexity in farming mechanics. Then upon hearing that an MMO with farming focuses on its cozy atmospheric vibe, I was immediately excited to transition from shooting hive gods from Destiny 2 to a more relaxed pace in Palia.

While it’s fun shooting and hunting mobs for trophies and glory, there will always be a time when you just want to relax your brain cells and tend to your garden. In Palia, you can do just that. Our Gardening Guru Badruu here will most likely be your go-to guy for your gardening needs. In this guide, we will show you the location where you can find Badruu and what he can offer you.

Badruu is the local farmer of Kilima village. a father who loves a good pun, great music and will happily give you tips on gardening. Badruu will also be able to provide you with the necessary skills and tools for you to have a successful yield.

Badruu Map Location and Schedule

To begin your gardening career, you have to find Badruu first and talk to him. He usually walks to and from the Kilima Village and the Family Farm, which is on top of Leafhopper Hills. Sometimes he can be seen on the farm, doing his favorite pastime, yep, gardening. When he has a lot of time and is not farming, you can look for him in the village strolling up and about.

In this map, you can see Badruu in between the Leafhopper Hills and Kilima Village.

Friendship and Romance

Palia has a charming array of NPCs with whom you can form friendly relationships and this includes Badruu. There are several ways to increase your Friendship Level with all of the villagers. You can:

  • Chat with them every Palian day (which resets hourly in real-world time)
  • Giving them gifts once every real-world day.
  • Gifting them unique types of gifts they call Weekly Wants (in order to know what gift they are looking for, you have to converse with the specific NPC like Auni or his friends)
  • Progressing through each character’s story arc by completing their storyline quests.

For those seeking more profound bonds, a handful of characters are available for dating. Unfortunately though, as Badruu already has a wife, romance is out of the option.
