How to find Citrine in Palia

Citrine can be obtained by mining in Palia. When mining the right types of rock nodes around certain regions, Citrine has a chance to drop from any node you mine. It’s all luck and random chance, though, so how easy or difficult it is to find and gather is entirely dependent on these two factors.
While mining, you may come across several nodes in a row that drop Citrine. Or, if luck isn’t on your side, you may encounter just one or even none at all despite mining loads of rocks. There’s no way to know how the process will go for you, so all you can do is mine frequently and try your best to clear as many nodes as possible for the best odds of securing Citrine.

Tips and tricks for getting Citrine in Palia
Citrine is a pretty rare drop in Palia, so even when you do know how to find it, you still might have a tough time actually acquiring it. There are some helpful methods that make the process easier, though, so here are some key tips and tricks to keep in mind when attempting to gather Citrine.
- Ask other players for help. As long as you’ve found at least one Citrine yourself at some point while playing Palia, you can use the Requests system to ask other players to donate some to you if they have any extra. It’s quite a rare and highly sought-after resource, so you may struggle to get any, but there are lots of hardcore players who love to help out there, so keep trying, and you may receive help eventually.
- Clear away all nodes. The more you mine, the better your chances are of finding Citrine, so do your best to clear away every node available to you in the regions where Citrine can spawn.
- Mine with friends. Join up with other random players in the server, or ask any friends you have who play to team up with you in the hunt for Citrine. Palia is a very community-focused game, so mining, like all other tasks, becomes much easier to complete with some help.
