Palia has finally dropped their new update, aptly named Of Barns & Briars. This autumn-themed patch is full of new content for players to explore, including the all-new Rancher’s Décor, Home Lines, new quests, fun plushes, and much more!
Perhaps the most exciting of the new additions featured in the Of Barns & Briars update is the all-new Ranching skill, allowing Palians to raise animals all the way from infancy to adulthood. As animals grow, they can develop traits that get passed down to offspring, creating unique companions.

Fall is nearly here, and with it comes a new wave of cozy adventures in Palia. The Of Barns & Briars update ushers in the game’s brand-new seasonal update cycle, kicking things off with the Fall Fantasy series. From now on, players can look forward to larger content drops tied to real-world seasons, with winter’s update next on the horizon.
This seasonal update introduces major gameplay features, including the highly anticipated Ranching skill, which allows players to raise and breed their own livestock. Alongside ranch life, Palians will also get fresh ways to design their housing plots through Home Lines—modular, placeable customization options that open the door to even more creative building possibilities.
With Of Barns & Briars, Palia sets the stage for an exciting year of seasonal updates and plenty of new stories to grow alongside the changing seasons.
Here’s everything players can expect in the Of Barns & Briars update:
- Ranching Skill – Players will be able to raise magical livestock, including the chicken-esque Peki, Ormuu, Bumbles, and a woolly pig called a Trufflet, starting from infancy to adulthood with the new Ranching skill. As animals grow, they can develop traits that get passed down to offspring, creating unique companions.
- Rancher’s Décor – Complete the County Fair quests to receive the Rancher’s Décor Recipe Starter Pack, and décor items like barn doors, haystacks, and barrels of apples, available only through the County Fair Bulletin Board during the Of Barns & Briars update.
- New Home Line Capabilities – Home Lines are a major evolution of Palia’s housing system, designed to give players more flexibility and creative control in building their dream homes, with features like multi-level building, open-air patios, and more. This season, Palia is also introducing its first Home Line, the Alchemist’s Cottage, and it’s brimming with spooky fairytale charm—making it the perfect place to get cozy for the autumn season.
- Gardener Questline – A brand-new friendship opportunity is now available for players in Palia. The Gardener, a longtime occupant of the Earth Temple, is stepping beyond the temple doors and opening their heart to friendship.
- Daily Quests – The update introduces more than 200 rotating daily quests to Palia, each themed around helping the in-game community. Every day, players will receive two randomly selected quests. Completing quests will earn Tailor Tickets, which can be exchanged for earnable cosmetics such as new colors for hair and makeup.
- New Plushes – Players can look forward to new plushes, including the Duskwing Butterfly Plush and XL Shark Fin Plush. Palians can also dig into 10 brand-new Shiny Potato Pods.
