Palia is a magical town filled to the brim with all sorts of new people to meet. Players will be able to interact with a number of NPCs, including the owners of some of the local shops. One such shop, the Kilima Valley General Store, is owned by a person named Zeki.

Zeki's store might seem like an above-board shop at first glance, but when the player reaches a certain friendship level with him, he will inform them of a black market-style Underground that sells illegal goods in this cozy MMO. As part of his friendship quest, 'Spread the Word,' he asks players to inform different citizens who would respond well to such a store and keep flyers out of the hands of people who might try to close the store down for good.

Most of the time, Zeki will be found inside the general store itself, where players can expand their Palia inventory and buy other items. At night, he will be located in his home, which is immediately north of the store. Zeki is usually asleep and inaccessible between the hours of 2:30 AM and 8:00 AM. Here is his usual schedule for the day:

  • 9 AM - 5 PM: Working inside the store.
  • 5 PM - 9 PM: Eating at Ormuu's Horn.
  • 9:30 PM - 2 AM: Running the Underground black market.

Once players of this family-friendly MMORPG have a level 2 friendship with this Grimalkin, he will ask them to help spread the word about his secret Underground. He will give the player several fliers, and they will need to figure out which villagers would be okay with the idea of purchasing some illegal goods and which ones would not be interested at all. The important thing is to make sure to keep the flyers out of the hands of Eshe, the Magistrate of the village. If players want a list of those who will be interested in the Underground, they should check below.

  • Ashura - Usually found in Ormuu's Horn; the NPC that has the quest Bouquet of Sunshine.
  • Auni - Found at the Inn in the afternoons.
  • Caleri - Almost always at the Library.
  • Chayne - Found in the Shrine in the early morning, 9 AM - 5 PM at the Apothecary, and at Ormuu's Horn in the evening.
  • Elouisa - Can be found in the morning at the Fisherman's Lagoon.

Once the flyers are out, players will receive Renown, 400 gold, and some friendship points with the store's owner. Also, players will then gain access to the black market in Palia.
