The first event in the MMO Palia has started and you have time until September 26 to earn and buy new decorations, recipes, and delicacies. We will tell you what the Maji Market has to offer.
What kind of event is this? If you have logged in for the first time after the latest update, you should have a letter from Kenli in your mailbox asking you to visit the market. On your compass, you should find a quest marker that leads you directly to the market.
Alternatively, you can simply go from the lake where you find Einar to the east. If you are a bit lazy, you can also travel to the market from one of the various fast-travel points for a small fee.
Even though you can go to the event location at any time, the festivities only happen between 6:00 PM and 3:00 AM. During that time, (almost) all the inhabitants of Kilima come to the market, and some of them even offer things for sale.
You can find everything about Palia in this video:
Complete quests at the Maji Market
First, you should talk to Kenyatta, as she has a quest for you. She asks you to bring her some food from Reth and then to get fireworks from Najuma.
Then shoot off the fireworks (next to the Chapaa enclosure) and the Chapaas will run away. Keyword search: The Chapaas must be recaptured, and that is your next task.
There is now an area marked on your map where you need to find the five escaped Chapaas. If you have trouble finding them, we will help you a bit:
- Next to a wagon with the moon banner
- Behind Najuma and Hodari’s stand
- Next to Reth’s stand by a woodpile
- Near the large tree in the middle of the market
- Near the western jetty
Once you have found all the Chapaas, talk to Kenyatta again and then with Eshe.
She will send you to Delaila, as the escaped Chapaas have caused some chaos. Delaila informs you that her ice cream machine is broken and she needs spare parts. You will get these from Reth, so talk to him.
However, he now has a small problem, so give Delaila the spare parts and return to Reth. He is missing some parts for his fryer and asks you to look for them.
Again, you are looking for five items, this time located at the following places:
- In the Chapaa enclosure
- In front of the Chapaa hut
- Behind the blue tent at the Chapaa hut
- To the left of Delaila’s stand
- Next to the large tree in the middle of the market
Once all the parts are found, hand them to Reth and collect your reward. Reth has created new delicacies for the market and now asks for your opinion. In your inventory, you will now find Mochi Ice Cream. Try it and later tell Reth how you liked it.
Finally, return to Eshe. Talk to her, and she will tell you (regardless of your dialogue options) that she thinks the market is a disaster. To cheer her up, you want to bring Eshe something from the market. Return to Reth and he will give you another Mochi Ice Cream. Bring this to Eshe and she is actually no longer in such a bad mood. Collect your reward and you have completed the Maji Market quests.
Tips for the Maji Market
During the event, you can buy or unlock a whole lot of decorations, food, and recipes. If you would like an overview of the event, open the “P” menu and then switch to the event tab. There you will be shown some of the items you can get.
However, if you scroll down, you will also see the stamp cards. These are smaller tasks that give you various rewards, from recipes for food and fireworks to decorations.
Finally, we have some tips for you on how to quickly complete the stamp cards:
- You can also hit the drums during the day and not just during the market. Our recommendation is to do it during the day when there are few or no other people at the market.
- For the drum card, you only need to hit the last drum that starts the fireworks, but this is sometimes not so easy. We had to run back and forth between all the drums (there are six in total) because the fireworks would not start even after hitting each drum once. If necessary, you have to hit all the drums until it works.
- In the Chapaa hunt, you can earn tickets and exchange them for prizes. The hunt takes place once per market. At midnight, the big fireworks begin and after that, you have five minutes to catch as many Chapaas as possible.
- Catch in a group! However, you must do this at the market; groups that already existed before seem not to count. If you are alone, just ask in the chat. So far, we have always found a group this way.
- It is best to choose a spot and “patrol” it again and again. From our experience, you catch more Chapaas this way than if you just run all over the area. In this area, the Chapaas spawn during the mini-game:
- If you want to try all the delicious offerings of the market, don’t just stop by Delaila and Reth, because at Kenyatta you can also buy a sweet treat.
We hope you can quickly get to your Chapaa tickets with our tips, as there is a lot to buy! But don’t forget to stop by the other stands, as you can also acquire new items there, sometimes unfortunately at a very high price. Good thing you still have some time to earn money and Chapaa tickets.
Have fun!
