Riffroc

How to get a Riffroc

1. 1Finish “Like a Bird”

   To unlock ranching, you must first complete the quest Like a Bird. Once you have earned your Glider, Delaila will arrive at your Housing Plot and gift you the recipe for the Barn Bell.

2. 2

   All ridable mounts in Palia may only be accessible for riding after completing Hassian's quest, Before the Dawn. This quest is given once the Player reaches the Royal Highlands, and is available to complete at any time, regardless of main story progression.

3. 3

   Riffrocs are accessible after completing Nai'o's quests, Brood to Perfection and Cheese, Please!, which are only available after the player has reached Ranching level 10. After discovering the Royal Highlands and meeting the level requirement, Nai'o will show up at your Ranch to talk to you about an issue with his Riffroc, Sugarfoot. Upon completion of the quests, the Player will have permanent access to purchasing, breeding, and riding Riffrocs.

4. 4Buy it at the register

   Additional Riffrocs can be purchased from the Ranching Guild Store for 6500 gold

5. 5

   Note: If Nai'o is not showing up to your ranch after meeting the previous prerequisites, try re-entering the Royal Highlands, make sure you've not yet started or have completed the Prismbeard quests (Adventure on the Horizon, Prismbeard's Lost Treasure, and The True Treasure), and ensure you have no other NPC visitors on your plot or ranch.

Rule — Animals at the Baby or Venerated Age do not produce items or breed. Adult animals will produce specific items based on the species, each with a limit on how many they can carry. Item production is affected by the animals overall happiness as well as how many of the same species you have. If you’re over the species cap, it will slow down production of items. Production, happiness and focus are explained in the Ranching guide.

The Riffroc boasts the ability Bird of Prey. Riffrocs who are well cared-for will gift hunting spoils, ideal for the player who prefers tending to animals rather than hunting them. The items provided include:
