Hodari's Location in Palia

Hodari resides in Bahari Bay, which is separate from the main village area where most characters live. On the world map, his home is represented by a small icon. To locate him, open the navigation bar at the top of the screen, select the map, and look for his icon.

Now that you know where to find Hodari, here are the benefits of visiting him. Hodari is one of the first characters you meet in Palia, and he provides you with your first pickaxe. As you delve into mining, he becomes your go-to source for information and recipes.

While Hodari's house is on the map, he usually stays at home and doesn't wander around the village. If he's not there during the day, try visiting at night when he's asleep. Since he sleeps at his property, you can even speak to him while he's snoring.

Benefits of Visiting Hodari

As your mining skill progresses, Hodari offers new recipes and upgrades. These can be purchased with gold or obtained through regular dialogue options when speaking with him.

Here are some additional benefits of visiting Hodari:

• Hodari sends mail at specific times to notify you of new recipes and upgrades. This occurs regardless of whether you visit him or not, so regular visits are unnecessary for this purpose. However, speaking to Hodari regularly helps build relationships and earns you renown, so it's worth dropping by a few times a day.
• If you're unsure what gifts to give Hodari, chat with Najuma, who lives with Hodari. She often suggests potential gifts, which you can then find in the shop.
