11Palmar Leaves is a faction quest in Crimson Desert, part of the Children of the Woods quest series. This quest takes place in the Hernand region.22Quest Details44PropertyDetailsQuest TypeFaction QuestRegionHernandQuest SeriesChildren of the Woods66Completion77Observations confirmed that Palmar leaves thrive primarily in the shadow of giant trees.99Tips1111Check the faction quest board regularly, as available quests rotate over time.Completing faction quests increases your reputation with the local faction, unlocking access to better vendors and rewards.1313See Also1515Faction QuestsSide Quests GuideFactions1717Palmar Leaves as a Trust Gift1919Palmar Leaves are the signature gift for the Shy race within the NPC Trust System. Each leaf handed to a Shy NPC grants +30 trust, which is the largest flat race bonus in the game. Since the trust cap is 100, a single named Shy NPC can be maxed with four Palmar Leaves and one daily greeting (4 x 30 + 5 = 125), leaving substantial headroom for errors.2121Catnip Keepers Exception2323The Shy race has one notable exception: the Catnip Keepers do not accept Palmar Leaves. They follow a different gift table and, based on current testing, behave more like other profession classes than a standard Shy NPC. If a Palmar Leaves gift goes unused at a Shy NPC, the most likely cause is that you are talking to a Catnip Keeper rather than a standard Shy.2525Palmar Pills Reward2727Maxing a Shy NPC's trust at 100 can grant Palmar Pills as the reward, which is one of the easiest renewable revive sources in the game. Because Palmar Leaves are relatively abundant compared to ivory or gold bars, Shy NPCs are one of the highest reward-per-effort trust farms for players who go down frequently in combat and are bottlenecked on revive consumables.2929Stacking Trust Gain3131Each Palmar Leaves gift also picks up the Rabbit Leather Mask's +2 trust gain (turning +30 into +32 per leaf) and any abyss gear trust-gain affix. Two leaves with a fully stacked trust-gain loadout is enough to go from 0 to 64 trust before any greeting or quest bonus, which is the fastest gift in the game.3333Where Palmar Leaves Come From3535Palmar Leaves are harvested from palm-type vegetation in Pywel's warmer biomes, particularly around coastal and desert-adjacent regions. Stocking 10 to 20 leaves before a Shy-region farm run is enough to cap several NPCs in one loop without backtracking.3737Primary Palmar Leaf Farming Spots3939Palmar leaves grow in dense patches across several distinct regions. Each gathering pull is RNG: most attempts return nothing, but a successful pull usually drops two or three leaves at a time, sometimes more. A short circuit through any one of these patches is enough for a sizable batch of Palmar Pill or Refined Palmar Pill crafts.4141RegionSpotNotesParorian VillagePit with a massive central tree surrounded by waterFrom the nearby fast travel point, jump and use a triple aerial force palm, then glide toward the marker.

Easiest spot for spotting palmar beetles thanks to clear visual gaps between leaf clusters.4343Kuku Gardening Pack Auto-Gather4444Once you have the Kuku Gardening Pack, which is a late-game unlock, equipping it and pressing L2 plus R2 instantly absorbs every palmar leaf in range without manual gathering. A single pulse in any of the patches above is usually enough to fill your stack. Be aware that the pulse can occasionally trigger a steal flag, in which case sprint out of the red circle before guards close in.4646Palmar Beetle Co-Spawns4848The Palmar Beetle required for Refined Palmar Pill spawns in the same patches as the leaves. Beetles look like small glowy leaves on the ground and the interact prompt explicitly reads "Palmar Beetle." Every leaf-farming run therefore yields beetles too, so plan a single circuit instead of separate trips. The Scholar's Stone Institute ruins spot is the easiest for beetle visibility because the leaf clusters there are spaced apart and the beetles stand out from the background.
