The Elderwood expansion in Palia offers a rich variety of foragables, some requiring specialized tools while others can be collected with ease. Among these, Batterfly Beans stand out as a unique and somewhat elusive crop, loved by the Batterflies inhabiting the region. As they can be quite challenging to locate, familiarizing yourself with their spawning habits is crucial, especially since certain Elderwood quests require these beans.
Locating Batterfly Beans in Palia
Best Locations for Batterfly Beans in Elderwood
When searching for Batterfly Beans, focus on identifying a green plant adorned with pink berries, generally found at the bases of large trees throughout the Elderwood. These beans are typically located in specific areas on the Elderwood map, including:
- Deep Woods
- Honeymiel Slope
- Jenesse Pass
- Mitana Grove
If your initial searches are fruitless, consider exploring the region between Jenesse Pass and the Deep Woods or delving deeper into the Deep Woods for potential spawn areas. The following images highlight likely locations for finding Batterfly Beans:
While harvesting, keep in mind that you can collect one or two beans at a time. There’s also a chance to obtain a pack of Batterfly Bean Seeds, a rare seed type that you can cultivate for future yields. These seeds take six days to mature and can be sold for 90 gold. Note that they require a 2×2 plot space for planting, similar to other crops available in Palia.
Uses of Batterfly Beans in Palia
Batterfly Beans serve various purposes in the Elderwood landscape of Palia—most notably in completing specific quests. Two key missions, named “Bugging Out” and “Magic and Maji,” require players to gather Batterfly Beans. The “Bugging Out”quest asks for three beans and is relatively straightforward. In contrast, “Magic and Maji,”initiated by conversing with Chayne, demands a larger quantity of ten beans.
Due to the sporadic appearance of Batterfly Beans, you may find yourself on an extended search, emphasizing the importance of collecting these beans whenever they are sighted.
For those interested in cultivating their own supply, you can plant Batterfly Bean Seeds in your Housing Plot. Regular watering and weeding, as well as the potential use of Fertilizer for quicker growth, will be necessary during the six-day growth period.
Finally, although Batterfly Beans can be consumed to restore +15 Focus Points, it’s advisable to save them for quests instead of eating them, maximizing their utility in your gameplay experience.
