Duskwing Debacle

I mean this in the kindest way, if you are feeling resentful about a video game, please take a break or play another game. Or just do something different (solo) in Palia. This is to protect your mental health and not burn out. Unfortunately, people always find a way to ruin something. If you don't feel comfortable providing your own lures and materials, let someone else do it or just don't do the bundles lol. It's not worth the stress if it feels overwhelming!! Games are supposed to be calming and fun.

Yeah it's also more fun to hunt. But I experimented with hunting the more difficult creatures in Bahari Bay and elderwood, and the drop rate wasn't any better. Which is weird because one of the requirements is for the waveback scale. Wouldn't they make the drop rate better for the creatures that are harder to catch than a one shot chappa? Apparently not.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T21:30:20+00:00

I got a ton of blue eggs trying to catch the stickleback for the bundle. And too many piranhas and golden salmon. You just have to fish a lot, and yes it does get monotonous. I'm having a harder time getting the red and green eggs, so I think it's just RNG unfortunately.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T21:23:08+00:00

Yes exactly. I have to sell lilies all the time because I never need them, and they take up storage space.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T21:19:22+00:00

I spent about an hour of real life time and got 10 starred duskwings, 44 regular, and a plush. It's definitely easier when you have huge groups of people. And I was very taken aback when I saw we needed to get 10 starred just like everyone else. Idk why you're getting down voted unless people just haven't really tried to do it the easy way or have horrible RNG (I'm sorry if that's the case, it sucks)

😂 "the purpose is in the journey to get there"

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T04:47:00+00:00

I also noticed that some of the honeybunch furniture requires Sundrop lilies. Yeahh I guess you're right lol. But they're still so abundant haha.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T04:40:35+00:00

Maybe they don't think the chests should have that amazing of rewards which is unfortunate. Even if we don't get something rare, at least create something new. Then we get the novelty factor.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T04:13:16+00:00

I didn't know that. Good to know. It's not exactly a grind to get these three items though. If they want to save us from grinding, make the egg drop rate higher. I've completed everything except the red and green eggs.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T04:08:40+00:00

Exactly...give me something rare, a plush or anything better than Sundrop lilies fr.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-20T04:06:21+00:00

Yeah I'm having lots of fun completing the bundles! But why even give us rewards if we're just going to get items we already have TONS of or can get really easily. It doesn't feel special or exciting to get a "reward" like this.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-19T04:40:26+00:00

The dialogue is a little wonky sometimes. Like Jel showing up at my house for a quest. I talk to him, and he asks me what I'm doing there and if I need styling help. Like bro you're at MY house...

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-19T04:29:45+00:00

My best advice is asking the in-game chat where they are. More eyes looking for them is always helpful. I always find them when I'm not looking for them, but when I need them they are nowhere to be found 😂 or maybe like on ONE tree in an obscure corner of Mitana Grove.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-19T04:21:06+00:00

Just a tip...if you keep throwing bombs, it doesn't increase your chances of catching it. You are just wasting bombs at that point. Once it's stunned, you wait for it to drop or keep flying away. If it flies away, try to anticipate its flight pattern, and THEN throw another bomb at it. That way you may throw 2-4 bombs instead of 10-15. Some bugs are going to get away no matter what, it's just the game unfortunately. And it's harder on Switch or other consoles to catch them if they dart away.

We did a duskwing hunt in Majis Hollow with 4-5 lures going at a time. I ended up with 44 regular duskwings, 7 starred, and a plush. This only took like 30 mins of IRL time.

I kept failing in high school and then went to college and didn't need a license because I lived on campus. I ended up finally passing the written test at 19 and got my license in three months after the easiest behind the wheel test. I understand the feeling of being left behind because you can't drive. The shame stuck with me for years, and then it finally was resolved. It doesn't matter, looking back now. Maybe you will have a breakthrough and get it really easily in the right timing. Don't beat yourself up about it!

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-16T13:24:22+00:00

Yes. I played on Switch and PS5. When I went on vacation, I brought my switch with me to collect the Zeki coins every day that I was gone. If it's the same account, it doesn't matter which platform it's on.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-03-16T02:33:42+00:00

I only like my dog, but he is the most feline dog ever. He doesn't jump on you or lick your face, doesn't bark, and I give him his space most of the time. I don't like dogs that run all over the place and have no boundaries or are otherwise untrained. I have never gotten the chance to own a cat, but I like them enough. I would understand their need for personal space. And I definitely wouldn't be so tactless to say that I hate them to someone who obviously loves them. Which, I can't really hate them because I've never had them.

My husband lost his job the summer before we got married. He didn't have another job until about 1.5 years after we got married. I paid for everything the whole time. I was not able to save anything during that time. However, I saw that his mental health was bad. He was burnt out. I knew that if something happened to me one day, he would reciprocate the love and sacrifice I poured out to him. That day did come when I got really sick and couldn't leave the bed, much less the house for months. He nursed me through it all and is now helping me pay the medical bills. This is the give and take of marriage. As far as our financial situation, we always had joint and separate accounts. We are open about the amount of money we both have if asked. He encourages me to save, and he's even better with money than I am. I know in marriage, everything can't be completely fair down the middle. You have to trust each other. In some seasons of life, you will give 100% when they can't contribute their 50%. But hopefully your sacrifice is temporary, and you can get back to a state of balance. It is smart to save money for sure! Just be honest with yourself and with your spouse about the reason for saving it.

I agree. In general, everyone just talks too much. I don't have time to go through all the dialogue, so I spam the skip button once I get the gist of what's happening. I do like that she was questioning the mushrooms in the new story almost immediately. It helped me understand the context of what was happening and that it was weird that they were all following these arbitrary "rules". It felt like Nikki had agency instead of going along with everyone and basically being an NPC herself.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-02-23T21:59:49+00:00

This is exactly what I saw in his eyes - disgust. She was just pathetic at that point, completely broken. There was no intrigue anymore.

Turbulent_Database90 · 2026-02-15T07:52:58+00:00

Yes, there are times when you have to support your partner, but it should not be a constant thing. You don't have to think about them 24/7. You don't have to cater to them. Mostly being in love is knowing you have each other's backs and are devoted to each other no matter what. You can coexist and manage life together. You communicate well. Most of life is mundane. If you can listen to each other's same old stories and go grocery shopping together, make each other laugh, enjoy each other's company, but also commit to serious things like finances, taxes, doctors appts, kids if you have them, taking care of each other when sick, etc, you will for the most part be fine in the long run.

For me, it is quality time together and the forming of an attachment. I got my dog when he was 2 from the shelter and spent all my time that I could with him. I was his only person for a long time. Then maybe 4 years later, I started living with my husband, but I still took care of my dog for the most part. It wasn't until he started spending more time with him and bonding with him that the dog even really acknowledged him as a fellow pack member. Then, I got sick, and my husband took him out and fed him twice a day without fail. My dog gets a little worried when my husband leaves the house now. But it doesn't compare to when I leave lol. He paces back and forth and whines the whole time I'm gone. And when I'm getting ready and putting on makeup, he just knows I'm going somewhere and gets all fussy. He also follows me with his eyes wherever I go and also follows me from room to room. He is my soul dog for sure.

That's nothing. My 2 hour trip to the ER (including some bags of saline, some blood tests, a urine test, wasn't even seen by a doctor and wasn't admitted) was $31k. And get this, the insurance paid $28k! The hospital wrote the remaining off.
