Village

The Village is the primary settlement on Piñata Island, and is home to all of the island's shops and businesses. The Village can be visited via its own dedicated menu.

Shops

Costolot’s Store

Costolot’s Store is the towns general store, where most things can be purchased. Seeds, fertilizer, fruits, vegetables, garden decor and even candy can all be found and purchased from here. Costolot’s will also purchase unwanted items from you, much to the proprietor, Lottie’s dismay.

Willy Builder

Attached to Costolot’s Store is Willy Builder. It is run by Willy, and offers up his construction services. Piñata homes and special buildings can be ordered from here, after which Willy will visit your garden to complete the job.

Post Office

The local Post Office is run by Fannie Franker. Here you can send and receive crates over Xbox LIVE. In Trouble in Paradise, piñatas caught from the Dessert Desert or Piñarctic will also be sent here. The post office can store many crates even those sent to yourself.

Bart’s Exchange

The caravan that can be seen around town belongs to Bart, who can be hired to tinker items for you. He offers three tiers of service, bronze, silver, and gold, each one making his chance of success more and more likely.

Paper Pets

Paper Pets is the towns pet store reluctantly run by Miss Petula, selling both domestic piñatas and accessories to dress up your piñatas. Paper Pets is the only store besides Costolot’s who will buy things from you, being able to buy back any accessories you no longer want. In Trouble in Paradise, piñatas are no longer sold here and all species can now be found in the wild.

Gretchen Fetchum’s

Gretchen is the fashion forward hunter, and she offers her services from her store of the same name. Here, you can order almost any species of piñata that you have previous had resided in your garden. Gretchen offers a standard rate and an express rate, the latter of which is more expensive but will get you what you need much faster.

Arfur’s Inn

Arfur’s Inn is the local inn and pub, serving Arfur’s famous milk and cookies to everyone who visits. Helpers stay at the Inn, and Arfur can hire them out to you.

Doc Patchingo

Doc Patchingo is the resident doctor, operating out of his own practice in town. If a piñata gets sick, Patch can be called to heal them back up, for a small fee. While Patch’s office had its own spot on the menu in the original Viva Piñata, this is no longer accessible in Trouble in Paradise. Patch’s services are still fully available, instead being ordered directly from the ill piñata.

Ivor Bargain

Once you’ve helped a certain beggar get back on his feet, a large tent will be set up in the village. Ivor Bargain is a trader that visits the Village, selling exotic and powerful items. In Trouble in Paradise, neither Ivor nor his shop can be found anywhere. All items previously sold by Ivor are now available at Costolot’s Store.

Langston’s Challenges

While not located directly in town, Langston’s Challenges can be accessed from the Village menu in Trouble in Paradise. Here you can accept orders for different piñatas from parties all over the world. Completing these will award the player with different rewards, such as money, experience, progress on the Computer Records, and even brand new items and accessories. Checking these regularly is also a good way to discover new piñatas or variants you otherwise wouldn’t know about.
