Palia is full of interesting and charming NPCs, and it’s no wonder that many players want to romance them. But how do you go about it? This romance guide will walk you through the steps involved in romancing an NPC, and give you some tips on how to make a good impression.
Romance Mechanics in Palia
In Palia, NPCs play a crucial role in your progression. Many of them control Guild Stores, which determine how you can upgrade key skills like fishing, mining, gardening, and bug catching. The good news is that Palia offers a variety of romance options. Let’s dive into the details.
How to Romance NPCs in Palia
To initiate romance with an NPC in Palia, you first need to become friends with them. Reach friendship level three with the NPC of your choice by interacting with them, completing their quests, and giving them their favorite gifts. Once you’ve reached friendship level three, you can gift them a box of chocolates, purchased from Zeki’s General Store, to express your romantic interest.
Upon presenting the box of chocolates, you’ll unlock romance dialogue and a unique questline separate from the friendship questline. Each NPC has their own distinct romance questline, providing a personalized experience for each character.
To level up your friendship with an NPC quickly, give them their favorite gifts and fulfill their weekly wants. This will help you progress through the friendship levels and unlock romantic interactions.
Once you have established friendship and registered romance with an NPC, you’ll receive a Romance Pin. Wearing this pin grants you bonus romance points and unlocks new interactions with NPCs in the game. NPCs will comment on your romance pin, acknowledging your relationship status.

Marriage and Future Updates
As of now, marriage is not available in Palia, and the developer has not indicated whether it will be introduced in the future. Palia is an online multiplayer game, making it more challenging to implement marriage mechanics. However, the developer, Singularity 6, has expressed a willingness to expand romantic questlines in future updates.
Romancing Multiple Characters and Authentic Gameplay
In Palia, you can romance multiple characters, and players are free to pursue any NPC they choose, regardless of gender. The developer has stated that they are not currently developing storylines involving jealousy or cheating, as they want players to have an authentic gameplay experience. If you’re playing in multiplayer with friends who share the same romance interest, it will not affect gameplay, as NPC relationships are treated as a solo experience.
That concludes our Palia Romance Guide, providing you with all the information you need to embark on a romantic journey with the NPC of your choice. Enjoy exploring the romantic possibilities in Palia and have a wonderful time in this cozy multiplayer world!
