How does gifting work in Palia?

Each week in Palia, you can give every Villager one of their Weekly Wants, which is divided into two categories: Liked and Loved. You can gift them one of their two likes or one of their two loved wants (these have a better chance of increasing your friendship levels).

Tip:

These liked and loved gifts rotate every week. Some may be from their favorite list, or they may be random gifts. So, while they may love steak dinner and copper one week, they may not want it or accept it the following week.

If you notice one of their Weekly Wants is blank, this means you haven’t learned what they like or love. To find out, you must talk to them or their friends. Once you know what their favorite gifts are, it makes gifting those things to them much more straightforward.

Outside their Weekly Wants, you can give them one favorite gift. So, as long as you gift them something from the lists above, you’ll be on the right track to befriending and romancing them.

In addition to befriending and romancing all the Palia Villagers, most will give you a wallpaper matching their Luna Sign the first time you give them a gift they like. However, those who don’t have a Luna Sign or don’t follow the customs won’t give you one. These Villagers include Einar, Zeki, Tau, Hekla, and Galdurs.

The gifting process can be tricky in Palia. But as long as you give a Villager one of the gifts they like and one of their Weekly Wants, you’ll be able to befriend and romance them in no time.
