Aniimo RV Parks: Park Buffs, your platform and Aniimo trips
Breezy Plains has four RV Parks. Activate the one you want with its Park Manager: your Aniimo restore HP there continuously, you earn Park Buffs and, from RV level 6, you can send Aniimo on trips that bring back regional specialties and Held Items.

RV Parks extend your Homeland into the open world. For the Homeland basics, see getting started with the Homeland.
The four RV Parks
The help page says it plainly: there are four RV Parks on Breezy Plains. Find each Park Manager to activate and join a park.
| RV Park | Location per the game | Park Manager |
|---|---|---|
| Sea of Flowers | Between the Sea of Flowers and a pine forest | Ben |
| Nimbus Fields | Between Nimbus Fields and the Mistwoods | Umi |
| Echoback Landing | On an island beach in Echoback Landing | Sesa |
| Driftwise Meadow | By a lake in Driftwise Meadow | Yu |
Until a park is activated, the game points you to its Park Manager. A park is where you rest, make friends, decorate your camping platform, gain Park Buffs and send Aniimo out.
From the Homeland menu you can quickly return to your RV Park or the Homeland, and the interface also lets you change RV Park.
Healing and Park Buffs
Your Aniimo’s HP
RV Parks continuously restore your Aniimo’s HP. It is an alternative to Healer Kim at the Outpost and to Bonfires.
Element Essence
Park Buffs come from Element Essence placed on a platform.
- Place an Element Essence on the small platform next to your parking spot.
- It grants residents an attack and resistance buff for its element: item descriptions list +2% for a regular essence and +5% for a “pure” one.
- To get it, rest for a while in a ride placed at the park, or interact with the terrace seat. You then receive the park owner’s Element Essence buff.
| Essence | Buff for residents |
|---|---|
| Essence of Fire, Water, Grass, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Wind, Dark or Light | +2% attack and resistance for that element |
| “Pure” version of those essences | +5% attack and resistance for that element |
Item descriptions add that these essences can be exchanged for Element Gems (Pure Element Gems for the pure versions).
Decorating your platform
- Interact with the park’s Park Board.
- Pick Decorate Platform to open the Construction interface.
- Open the Furniture List, for example Outdoor Decorations, select a piece, drag it into place and confirm.
If other Pathfinders pass by and like your design, they leave a like on the Park Board. Keep it clean: decorations judged inappropriate are reset by the publisher, who notes you can appeal through in-game customer service.
Building tools are covered in the Homeland building tools guide.
Public or private park
By default you are in a Public RV Park. The game also lets you create a Private RV Park at a chosen location, for a fee shown when you create it; you set it up through the Park Manager.
- Creating a private park makes you leave your current park. The park stays available and you can invite friends; accepting an invitation teleports them there.
- Stranger access: once enabled, your Private RV Park enters the random pool. Non-invited Pathfinders assigned to it are reassigned after 7 days.
- Relocating: all members of the private park move together to the new location.
- Removing a player, leaving or disbanding: those affected are randomly assigned to a public RV Park in the same area. When a private park is disbanded, 60% of the creation fee is refunded.
Aniimo on a Trip
The RV has a module called the Signal Transmitter. Once it is unlocked, you can place Aniimo at RV Parks and send them on a trip. Upgrading it lets you place more Aniimo for longer trips.
| Signal Transmitter level | RV level needed | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level 6 | Aniimo Dispatch; the RV Park holds 1 Aniimo |
| 2 | Level 11 | The RV Park holds 2 Aniimo; unlocks Dispatch · Adventure |
| 3 | Level 16 | The RV Park holds 3 Aniimo; unlocks Dispatch · Camping |
Starting a trip
- Open Aniimo on a Trip.
- Tap the plus sign, then pick an Aniimo.
- Confirm: the Aniimo is placed in the park, where you can see it wandering around.
- Tap On a trip again, then GO: the Aniimo heads out to collect goodies nearby.
Elite Training describes the same route from the park’s Park Board, through the Aniimo Expedition interface.
What to keep in mind
- Rewards: per the park descriptions, trips yield a small, moderate or large amount of regional specialties, plus Held Items of up to Rare, Epic or Legendary quality.
- Regional materials: some materials are unique to one region, and their descriptions tell you to send Aniimo to gather them near that area’s RV Park.
- Early recall: recalling Aniimo on a trip loses all rewards.
- Unavailable Aniimo: Aniimo at the RV Park cannot join combat or exploration parties, and an Aniimo out on a trip cannot be switched.
Frequently asked questions
How do I activate an RV Park?
Talk to the Park Manager on site: Ben (Sea of Flowers), Umi (Nimbus Fields), Sesa (Echoback Landing) or Yu (Driftwise Meadow).
How many Aniimo can I send on a trip?
It depends on the RV’s Signal Transmitter: 1 Aniimo at level 1 (RV level 6), 2 at level 2 (RV level 11), 3 at level 3 (RV level 16).
Can I recall Aniimo who are on a trip?
Yes, but the game warns that recalling them early loses all the trip’s rewards.
Do I need my own Element Essence to get the buff?
No. According to the game, visiting a neighbor’s platform that has one gives you exactly the same benefit.
