The emergence of the Maji Market in the gaming world of Palia has become a significant event for both newcomers and experienced MMO players alike. A detailed understanding of its functioning, the variety of activities available, and the range of rewards for participants pique the interest of a wide audience. It is crucial to comprehend how access to the market is facilitated and where it can be found in the vast gaming universe.
The Maji Market is accessible for visits from 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM Palia time. Although players have the option to visit it at other times, stalls and entertainment become available only during specific hours according to the in-game clock, where one day in Palia corresponds to one hour in real life.
Locating the Maji Market
The entrance to the Maji Market in Palia is situated on the southeast side of the Kilima Village map, near the Whispering Banks and to the east of Fisherman's Lagoon. The entrance is adorned with decorations and posters, making it easily recognizable. However, newcomers are advised to check their mail at the farm and obtain the "The Maji Market" quest from Major Kenli before visiting the market.
Upon arriving at the Maji Market in Palia, players may encounter several quests from NPCs such as Kenyatta, Delaila, Reth, and Eshe. For example, in the quest "Kenyatta's Cravings," players are tasked with purchasing food from Reth, inquiring about fireworks from Auni, and then capturing five Chapaas and leading them to the Chapaa pen.
For the convenience of players, all stalls at the Maji Market are marked on the map, facilitating navigation.
Additionally, once per evening, the mini-game Chapaa Chase takes place, where all players pursue Chapaas and return them to the pen. For each captured Chapaa, players receive 10 Chapaa Chase tickets, which can be exchanged for prizes such as plush toys at the Chapaa Chase Prize Store near Kenyatta's stall.
Other available activities at the Maji Market in Palia include:
- Purchasing food, plush toys, and souvenirs at various stalls.
- Taking selfies in a photo booth with character cutouts as backgrounds.
- Interacting with drums on the pier, where fishing is also possible.
- Accessing a wardrobe for outfit changes, a tool upgrade station, and a fast-travel point for exiting the market.
Quest Rewards
The Maji Market event in Palia offers over 50 prizes and treats, including 8 plush toys. Upon the first visit to the market, players are awarded the Maji Market Moon Banner, which can be used to decorate their homes. Other rewards include:
- Chapaa Hut Fun Guy plush toy (rewarded for completing the "Kenyatta's Cravings" quest)
- Rolled ice cream from Delaila (for completing the "Delaila's Spare Parts" quest)
- Mochi ice cream from Reth (for completing the "Reth's Ice Cream Machine Parts" quest)
- Maji Market arch (for completing the "Make Eshe Smile" quest)
As the Maji Market event spans several weeks, players have ample time to return for additional goodies and treats that they may wish to purchase with their hard-earned in-game Palia gold. Palia is currently available in Open Beta on PC, with the full version set to release on PC and Nintendo Switch at a later date.
