Palia Starstones Guide: How to Get Gems and Rarities Explained

Gems are valuable in real life and in Palia. As you explore and gather resources, you’ll notice that these precious jewels end up in your inventory randomly, so you may be wondering how to get them. Called Starstones, they come in various rarities, too. Here’s what to know about them.

Where to Find Starstones in Palia

Starstones are gems that randomly drop from mining nodes. They’re automatically added to your inventory alongside any stone, ore, flint, or clay you’ve mined when the deposit breaks apart. No matter where you’re mining in Palia, there’s a chance of a Starstone dropping.

How to Use Starstone Gems

Added to boost the earning potential from mining, selling Starstones is a viable way to make money. However, it isn’t the only thing they’re good for. Villagers love them, especially when you gift them the gem that matches their Star Path. You’ll be rewarded with unique dialogue and a significant Friendship increase. You’re only able to take advantage of this weekly, with Weekly Wants resetting every Sunday at 9 p.m. PST.
