Chapter 1: First Steps on Palpagos Island – A Palworld Survival Primer
Your first hours in Palworld are the most critical. Every decision matters, from the moment you create your world to the first structure you build. This chapter is your blueprint for a powerful start, ensuring you establish a solid foundation for the empire to come.
Customizing Your Palworld Experience
Before you take a single step, you have the power to shape your entire adventure. Palworld is designed to be tailored to your playstyle, allowing you to minimize the grind and maximize the fun.
- Tweak Your World Settings. Don’t just accept the default difficulty. Before launching your world, select “Custom Settings” to fine-tune your experience. This isn’t cheating; it’s using the tools the game provides to create the Palworld adventure you want to have.
- Boost Your Gathering Rates. To speed up the early game, set the “Gatherable Items Multiplier” to 3x. This triples the amount of wood, stone, and other resources you get from each swing, dramatically cutting down on gathering time.
- Make Harvesting Instant. Lower the “Gatherable Objects Health Multiplier” to 0.5x. This makes trees and rocks break in a single hit, making resource collection faster and more satisfying.
- Increase Your Loot Drops. Set the “Dropped Items Multiplier” to 2x or 3x. This increases the loot you get from defeating Pals, which is crucial for farming specific materials later on.
- Turn Off the Death Penalty. For a more relaxed experience, change the “Death Penalty” setting to “No drops.” This prevents you from losing your inventory when you die, saving you from frustrating corpse-retrieval runs.
- Speed Up Egg Hatching. Set the “Time to Incubate Massive Egg” to 0. This makes all eggs hatch instantly, which is a massive quality-of-life improvement for breeding in the late game.
- Increase Pal Spawns. Consider increasing the “Pal Appearance Rate” to make the world feel more alive and provide more capturing opportunities.
Setting | Recommended Value | Why It Helps Your Palworld Journey |
Gatherable Items Multiplier | 3x | Triples resource drops, drastically reducing gathering time. |
Gatherable Object Health | 0.5x | Allows you to harvest nodes like trees and stone in one hit. |
Dropped Items Multiplier | 2x | Doubles the materials dropped by defeated Pals. |
Death Penalty | No drops | Removes the stress of losing your inventory upon death. |
Time to Incubate Massive Egg | 0 | Makes eggs hatch instantly, essential for efficient breeding. |
Surviving Your First Day and Night in Palworld
You’ve landed. The sun is shining. Your goal is simple: survive until morning.
- Grab Everything on the Ground. As you leave the starting cave, pick up every loose piece of Wood, Stone, and Paldium Fragment you see by pressing the ‘F’ key.
- Unlock Fast Travel Points. Activate every orange glowing statue you find. These are Fast Travel points, and unlocking them not only builds your travel network but also grants you a Technology Point.
- Build a Simple Workbench First. Your first craft should always be the Simple Workbench. It costs only 2 Wood and is the gateway to crafting your first tools.
- Craft an Axe and Pickaxe Immediately. Once the workbench is built, your next two crafts must be the Stone Axe and Stone Pickaxe. These allow you to gather Wood and Stone far more efficiently.
- Establish Your First Palbox. The Palbox is the heart of your base. Place it in a wide, flat, open area. This will be your personal fast travel point and the command center for your Pals.
- Craft a Torch Before Nightfall. The nights in Palworld are dark and dangerous. Craft a Hand-held Torch to see and stay warm.
- Prioritize Your Stats Wisely. When you level up, allocate your stat points carefully. Your role in Palworld evolves from a hands-on survivor to a base commander. Your stats should reflect this.
- Invest Heavily in HP. More health points will keep you alive during tough fights and accidental falls. Aim for at least 1,000 HP.
- Boost Your Carry Weight. This is arguably the most important stat. You will be hauling massive amounts of heavy resources like Ore. Increasing your Weight stat is a long-term investment in efficiency.
- Put a Few Points in Stamina Early. Stamina is useful for running and climbing at the start, but it becomes less important once you get a mount, as you’ll be using your Pal’s stamina instead.
- Avoid the Attack Stat. Your personal attack damage is minimal compared to what your Pals will do. Investing points here gives very little return. Let your Pals be the muscle.
- Ignore the Work Speed Stat. While it might be tempting to craft faster, your Pals will soon be crafting for you at incredible speeds. Your points are better spent elsewhere.
Essential Early Game Technology in Palworld
Your Technology tree is a roadmap to power. Don’t just unlock things in order; plan your path to get the best items as soon as possible.
- Unlock the Palbox at Level 2. This is mandatory for starting your base and beginning your journey as a Pal tamer.
- Build a Wooden Chest. You need a place to store all your materials. Build a chest right next to your Palbox for easy access.
- Craft Straw Pal Beds. Every Pal working at your base needs its own bed to rest and recover Sanity.
- Get the Normal Parachute. Unlocked at Technology Tier 5, the parachute is a game-changer for exploration, allowing you to safely descend from great heights.
- Look for Schematics. You can find schematics in treasure chests. These can unlock technology for free—sometimes even higher-quality versions of items—saving you precious Technology Points.
- Skip Redundant Tech. You don’t need to unlock everything. For example, you can often skip the basic bow and wait for the Three Shot Bow or the crossbow, which are far more effective. Prioritize unlocks that offer a significant upgrade.
Chapter 2: The Art of the Tamer – Mastering Palworld’s Pal Management
Your Pals are the heart and soul of your Palworld experience. They are your workers, your soldiers, and your companions. Learning to capture, manage, and understand them is the true path to mastery.
Your First Captures in Palworld
Every capture is a step toward leveling up and building your army.
- Catch 10 of Every Pal. The fastest way to level up in Palworld is by exploiting the massive EXP bonus you get for the first 10 captures of any single Pal species.
- Use the Back Bonus. Throwing a Pal Sphere at a Pal’s back grants a “Back Bonus,” which significantly increases your chance of a successful capture.
- Hunt at Night. Many Pals sleep at night, making it incredibly easy to sneak up behind them for that crucial Back Bonus.
- Weaken Pals Before Capturing. Lower a Pal’s health before throwing a sphere. But be careful—if you defeat it, you can’t catch it!
- Prioritize Cattiva for Your Party. The common cat-like Pal, Cattiva, has a Partner Skill that increases your maximum carrying capacity by 50 just by being in your party. This is invaluable in the early game.
- Get a Vixy for Your Ranch. The small fox Pal, Vixy, has a unique ranching ability. When assigned to a Ranch, it will periodically dig up basic Pal Spheres and Arrows, giving you an infinite supply for free.
Pal | Key Role | Where to Find | Why It’s Essential for Your First Palworld Base |
Cattiva | Mining, Transporting, Carry Weight | Starting Areas | Increases your personal carry weight when in your party. A great early-game worker. |
Lamball | Ranching (Wool) | Starting Areas | Provides a steady supply of Wool for crafting Cloth and basic armor. |
Chikipi | Ranching (Eggs) | Starting Areas | A key source of Eggs, a vital ingredient for cooking and later, for breeding Cakes. |
Foxparks | Kindling | Starting Areas | Your first dedicated Kindling Pal, needed for cooking food and smelting Ore. |
Vixy | Ranching (Items) | Grassy Areas | Digs up free Pal Spheres and Arrows at the Ranch, fueling your captures and combat. |
Understanding Your Pal’s Needs
A happy Pal is a productive Pal. The efficiency of your entire base hinges on keeping your workforce healthy and sane.
- Cook Your Food. Cooked food restores more hunger than raw food. Crucially, it also restores Sanity (SAN), which is vital for your base workers.
- Monitor Pal Sanity. Pals lose SAN as they work. If it drops too low, they will slack off, get sick, or develop injuries, grinding your production to a halt.
- Build a Hot Spring. The Hot Spring is a key structure for restoring Pal SAN. Place it in a central location so your Pals can easily take breaks.
- Feed Them Well. Place a Feed Box near workstations. Pals will automatically eat from the leftmost slot first. Fill it with cooked berries or other high-nutrition food.
- Give Every Pal a Bed. Ensure you have one bed for every Pal assigned to your base. As you level up, upgrade from Straw Beds to Fluffy Pal Beds for better SAN recovery.
- Manually Assign Stubborn Pals. If a Pal isn’t doing the job you want, you can force them. Walk up to the Pal, press ‘F’ to lift it, carry it to the desired workstation, and press ‘F’ again to throw it at the station. This will assign it to that task.
- Reset Bugged Pals. If a Pal gets stuck on terrain or stops working, the easiest fix is to go to your Palbox, drag them back into storage, and then immediately redeploy them to the base. This resets their AI.
Decoding Pal Skills and Traits
Not all Pals are created equal. A Pal is a unique combination of its species, its passive skills, and its active abilities.
- Check Work Suitability. Every Pal has different skills, like Kindling, Mining, or Handiwork, each with a level. A Pal with Mining Lv. 2 will mine ore nodes, while a Pal with only Mining Lv. 1 will not.
- Inspect Passive Skills. Before capturing, and after, always check a Pal’s Passive Skills. These are randomized traits that can provide huge bonuses or crippling penalties. A Pal with “Artisan” (Work Speed +50%) is a treasure. A Pal with “Slacker” (Work Speed -30%) is a candidate for the butcher knife or condenser.
- Hunt for Lucky Pals. As you explore, you may hear a sparkling sound and see an oversized, shimmering Pal. These are “Lucky” Pals. They are stronger than normal and always come with the “Lucky” passive skill (Attack +15%, Work Speed +15%). Always try to capture them!
- Use Skill Fruits to Customize Movesets. You can find glowing trees around the world that drop Skill Fruits. These can be used to teach any Pal a new active skill, regardless of its type. This allows you to give a Fire Pal a Water attack for better combat coverage, for example.
- Condense Your Pals. Once you build the Pal Essence Condenser, you can sacrifice multiple Pals of the same species to power up a single one. This increases its stats and, at the final 4-star rank, increases all of its Work Suitability levels by 1. This is how you get Level 5 miners and crafters.
Chapter 3: Building Your Empire – A Guide to Palworld Base Construction
Your base is more than a shelter; it’s a factory, a fortress, and the engine of your progress in Palworld. Designing it for peak efficiency from the start will save you countless hours.
Location, Location, Location: Choosing Your Palworld Base Spot
Where you build is as important as what you build.
- Build on Flat, Open Ground. The most important factor for a base location is a large, flat, open area. This prevents Pals from getting stuck on terrain, which is a common issue.
- Prioritize Ore Deposits. For your first or second base, find a location with a large cluster of Ore nodes (the shiny, reddish-brown rocks). Ore is the most critical resource for mid-game progression, and having your Pals mine it automatically is a game-changer.
- Use Natural Defenses. Building on a plateau with only one entrance or backed against a cliff can make your base much easier to defend from raids.
- Avoid Building on Water. You cannot place foundations or most structures on water, so make sure your base’s blue circle doesn’t include large bodies of water.
- Clear Out Natural Resources. Don’t build your main base in a dense forest. The respawning trees and rocks will become obstacles that trap your Pals. Mine them out and build foundations over their spawn points to prevent them from returning.
- Your First Base is Temporary. Don’t stress about finding the perfect spot on day one. Your first base is a starter workshop. As you level up your Palbox, you’ll unlock the ability to build a second and third base. These should be your specialized outposts, built strategically to harvest rare resources like Coal and Sulfur.
The Principles of Efficient Palworld Base Design
Think like a factory manager. Every step your Pals take is time not spent working. Your goal is to create a compact, logical assembly line.
- Minimize Commute Times. The golden rule of Palworld base layout is to minimize the distance Pals have to travel between their bed, the feed box, and their primary workstation.
- Group Related Workstations. Place structures that are part of the same production chain near each other. For example, put your Berry Plantation next to the Feed Box, and your Logging Site and Stone Pit next to a chest that feeds your workbenches.
- Place Chests Next to Production. Put a storage chest directly beside every resource-generating station (Logging Site, Stone Pit, Ranch). This allows Pals to deposit materials instantly instead of walking across the entire base.
- Link Your Crafting Stations. Remember that you can craft using any material stored in any chest within your base’s radius. You don’t need the items in your personal inventory.
- Build Vertically. To save space, don’t be afraid to build multi-story structures. Just make sure your stairs are at least two blocks wide and your ceilings are three walls high to accommodate larger Pals.
- Stack Plantations. You can build structures like Berry Plantations on top of each other by using clever placement of roofs or foundations, creating compact farm towers.
Defending Your Palworld Home
Sooner or later, raiders will come knocking. Be ready for them.
- Upgrade to Stone ASAP. Wooden structures can be set on fire during raids and will burn to the ground. As soon as you unlock Stone Structures at level 18, begin replacing your wooden base.
- Build Defensive Walls. Use walls to funnel invading enemies into a single chokepoint. This makes them easy targets for you and your defensive Pals.
- Use the Environment. If a raid spawns on a cliff above your base, they will often just jump down to their doom. Building near cliffs can be a surprisingly effective defense.
- Let a Boss Do the Dirty Work. For a truly advanced defense, you can build a base near a powerful field boss. When a raid begins, simply lure the boss into the raiding party and watch the chaos unfold.
Chapter 4: Gearing Up for Adventure – Palworld Crafting & Technology
Your progression in Palworld is marked by the technology you unlock. Smart investments in your tech tree and an efficient production pipeline for resources are what separate the novices from the industrial titans.
Unlocking Palworld’s Potential: Technology Points
There are two parallel paths of progression in Palworld, and you must walk both to succeed. One path is for your industrial might, the other for your adventuring prowess.
- Earn Technology Points by Leveling. Each time you level up your character, you gain Technology Points to spend on the main tech tree.
- Find Technology Manuals. You can find High-Grade Technical Manuals in high-level dungeon chests, which grant you extra Technology Points.
- Hunt Bosses for Ancient Technology Points. To unlock the most powerful and unique gear, you need Ancient Technology Points. You get these by defeating Alpha Pals (world bosses), Dungeon Bosses, and Syndicate Tower Bosses for the first time.
- Farm Chillet for Early Ancient Tech. The Level 11 Alpha Pal, Chillet, is located very close to the starting area. Defeating or capturing it repeatedly is an excellent way to farm your first Ancient Technology Points.
- Prioritize Ancient Tech Unlocks. Your first Ancient Technology Point unlocks should be the Egg Incubator (for hatching powerful Pals) and the Grappling Gun (for mobility).
The Ore and Coal Pipeline: Fueling Your Palworld Industry
Wood and Stone will only get you so far. The industrial age of your Palworld empire runs on metal.
- Establish a Dedicated Mining Outpost. You will eventually hit a resource wall where you need more Ore and Coal than your starting area can provide. At this point, you must use your second base slot to build a dedicated mining outpost in a resource-rich area.
- Find the Best Mining Spot. The best location for a mid-to-late game mining base is on the mountain at coordinates (189, -37). This spot has a dense cluster of 8 Ore nodes and 6 Coal nodes on a flat, easily defensible plateau.
- Automate Your Mining. Populate your mining base with Pals that have a high Mining skill (Lv. 2 or higher), such as Digtoise or Anubis. They will automatically mine any nodes within the base radius.
- Smelt Ore into Ingots. You’ll need a Simple Furnace (and a Kindling Pal like Foxparks) to turn Ore into Ingots, the primary building block for metal gear and structures.
- Create Refined Ingots. Later, you’ll need an Improved Furnace to combine Ore and Coal to create Refined Ingots, which are required for the best weapons and armor.
From Workbench to Assembly Line
The ultimate goal of your base is to create a self-sufficient factory where you simply place an order and your Pal workforce handles the rest.
- Upgrade Your Workbenches. Your crafting stations follow a clear progression path: Simple Workbench to High Quality Workbench, and finally to the Production Assembly Line. Each tier is faster and unlocks more recipes.
- Automate with Assembly Lines. The late-game Assembly Lines require Pals with Handiwork and Electricity to operate, but they craft items at incredible speeds. This is the pinnacle of Palworld automation.
- Specialize Your Production. You will eventually unlock specialized workbenches for spheres (Sphere Workbench/Assembly Line) and weapons (Weapon Workbench/Assembly Line). Set these up to streamline your production of essential items.
- Let Your Pals Do the Work. Once you have a well-staffed base, you should rarely need to craft items yourself. Queue up large batches of items and let your dedicated Handiwork Pals take over while you go out and explore.
Chapter 5: The Thrill of the Hunt – Palworld Combat & Boss Strategies
While building an empire is rewarding, Palworld is also a game of thrilling combat. Mastering its systems will allow you to take down even the most fearsome beasts the islands have to offer.
The Fundamentals of Palworld Combat
- Master the Dodge Roll. Pressing the CTRL key will make you perform a dodge roll with a few frames of invincibility. Learning the timing of enemy attacks and dodging through them is the single most important combat skill.
- Aim for the Head. Headshots on Pals and human enemies deal critical damage.
- Use Elemental Weaknesses. Every Pal has one or two elemental types, and each type is strong or weak against others. Exploiting these weaknesses is key to victory. For example, use a Fire Pal against a Grass or Ice type for double damage.
- Let Your Pal Be the Tank. In a difficult fight, your first priority is to stay alive. Throw your Pal out in front of you to draw the enemy’s attention (aggro).
- Recall Your Pal to Avoid Damage. If you see a boss charging up a massive attack aimed at your Pal, recall them to their sphere just before it hits. Your Pal will be completely safe, and you can redeploy them a second later.
- Use Pillars for Cover. The arenas for the main Tower Bosses all have large pillars. Use these to block projectiles and give your shield time to regenerate.
Attacker Type | Strong Against (2x Damage) | Weak Against (0.5x Damage) |
Fire | Grass, Ice | Water |
Water | Fire | Electric |
Electric | Water | Ground |
Ground | Electric | Grass |
Grass | Ground | Fire |
Ice | Dragon | Fire |
Dragon | Dark | Ice |
Dark | Neutral | Dragon |
Neutral | (None) | Dark |
Advanced Combat Tactics
Your party of five Pals is not just a team; it’s a toolbox of abilities to be deployed at the right moment.
- Cycle Your Pals Constantly. Don’t just send out one Pal and let it fight until it faints. Each of your Pal’s three active skills has its own cooldown. For maximum damage, send out a Pal, have it use all its skills, then immediately swap to the next Pal in your party and repeat. By the time you cycle back to the first Pal, its skills will be ready again.
- Use Damage-Over-Time Effects. Status effects like Poison and Fire are incredibly powerful, especially against bosses with huge health pools. The damage they deal is based on a percentage of the enemy’s max HP.
- Use Mounts to Enhance Your Attacks. Certain mounts have a special ability that imbues your own attacks with an element while you are riding them. For instance, riding a Ragnahawk adds Fire damage to your attacks, allowing you to exploit weaknesses with your own weapons.
- Build a Team of Gobfins. The Pal Gobfin has a partner skill that increases the player’s attack power. This effect stacks. Filling your party with four Gobfins can provide a massive damage boost for your character.
- Use Galeclaw as a Combat Glider. The glider made from Galeclaw’s gloves allows you to move quickly around the battlefield and even shoot your weapon while gliding, making it an amazing tool for dodging attacks.
Conquering Palworld’s Toughest Foes
- Prepare for Timed Battles. The main Syndicate Tower Bosses are on a 10-minute timer. This means your strategy must focus on dealing as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible.
- Over-Level for Bosses. The bosses in Palworld are tough. It’s always a good idea to be a few levels higher than the boss you are challenging and to bring Pals of a similar level.
- Bring the Right Team. Always bring a team of Pals that have an elemental advantage against the boss you are fighting.
- Use the “Base Swarm” Strategy. For the open-world Alpha Pals, you can use an incredibly effective “cheese” strategy. Build a temporary Palbox just outside the boss’s aggro range. Start the fight, then lure the boss into your base’s radius. All 15 of your worker Pals will swarm the boss, creating an epic and often hilarious 20-vs-1 battle.
Chapter 6: The Secrets of Creation – An Advanced Palworld Breeding Guide
Breeding is one of the deepest and most rewarding systems in Palworld. It is the path to creating perfect Pals with ideal skills and abilities, but it is also the ultimate test of your base automation skills.
Setting Up Your Palworld Breeding Operation
- Unlock the Breeding Farm. The Breeding Farm structure is unlocked at Technology Level 19. You will need one for each pair of Pals you want to breed simultaneously.
- Bake a Cake. To produce an egg, you must place a Cake in the chest attached to the Breeding Farm. One Cake is consumed for every egg produced.
- Automate Cake Production. The recipe for Cake is complex: 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey. The only way to breed efficiently is to first build a base that automates the production of these ingredients. This requires:
- Wheat and Berry Plantations for Flour and Berries.
- A Ranch staffed with a Chikipi (for Eggs), a Mozzarina (for Milk), and a Beegarde (for Honey).
- Cakes Don’t Spoil in the Breeding Farm. A crucial tip: any Cake placed in the Breeding Farm’s chest will never spoil. You can safely stockpile them there.
The Science of Palworld Genetics
- Understand Breeding Power. Every Pal species has a hidden “breeding power” value. The game averages the power of the two parents to determine the species of the offspring. This means you can combine two completely different Pals to get a third, often rare, species.
- Pass Down Passive Skills. The true power of breeding is inheriting Passive Skills. An offspring has a chance to inherit any of the passive skills from its parents.
- Breed for Perfection. The goal is to create a Pal with a perfect set of four desired passive skills. The most reliable way to achieve this is to breed two parents who each have two of the desired skills. This gives a higher chance of success than using two parents who both have the same four skills.
- Use a Breeding Calculator. The Palworld community has created online breeding calculators that can tell you exactly which two Pals to combine to get the offspring you want. Use these tools to plan your breeding projects.
Desired Pal | Breeding Combination 1 | Breeding Combination 2 | Key Use |
Anubis | Relaxaurus + Celaray | Penking + Bushi | Best Handiwork Pal (Lv. 4) |
Grizzbolt | Mossanda + Rayhound | — | Powerful Electric Pal, needed for other recipes |
Jormuntide Ignis | Jormuntide + Blazehowl | — | Best Kindling Pal (Lv. 4) |
Faleris | Anubis + Vanwyrm | — | Fast flying mount with Lv. 3 Kindling |
Orserk | Grizzbolt + Relaxaurus | — | Best Electricity Pal (Lv. 4) |
Shadowbeak | Kitsun + Astegon | — | Top-tier Dark combat Pal |
Creating the Ultimate Pal
- Identify Your Goal. Decide if you are breeding a Pal for combat or for work, and identify the four best passive skills for that role.
- Best Combat Passives: Legend, Ferocious, Musclehead, Lucky.
- Best Work Passives: Artisan, Serious, Work Slave, Lucky.
- Start a Chain. The process involves “chain breeding.” First, find or breed Pals that have one of your desired skills. Then, breed them together to create a new Pal with two of the skills. Continue this process, combining pairs until you have two parent Pals that, between them, have all four skills you want. Finally, breed those parents with your target species until you hatch the perfect offspring. It’s a long process, but the result is a Pal far more powerful than any you could find in the wild.
Chapter 7: Palpagos Uncovered – Palworld Exploration & Hidden Mechanics
You’ve mastered the basics, built an empire, and conquered the toughest foes. Now it’s time to learn the secrets that will elevate your gameplay from proficient to legendary. These are the hidden mechanics and advanced tricks that Palworld doesn’t tell you.
Advanced Movement and Traversal in Palworld
- The Slide-Jump-Glide. To travel incredibly fast without a mount, find a downward slope. Start sprinting, then press the crouch button to begin a high-speed slide. At the end of the slide, jump and immediately deploy your glider. You will be launched forward with incredible momentum.
- The Grapple Gun Slingshot. While gliding, you can aim your Grappling Gun at the ground, a tree, or a rock. Firing it will pull you forward and slingshot you at immense speed, allowing you to cover huge distances faster than many flying mounts.
- Move While Over-Encumbered. The Grappling Gun is your best friend when you’re carrying too much Ore to move. You can use it to pull yourself to your storage chests or a fast travel point, even when completely over-encumbered.
- Negate All Fall Damage. You can survive a fall from any height. Either deploy your glider just a moment before you hit the ground, or turn to face a cliff wall and grab onto it before you land.
Inventory and Resource Management Secrets
- Quick Stack Your Inventory. When you have a storage chest open, instead of dragging and dropping items, simply press the ‘R’ key. This will automatically move any items from your inventory into stacks that already exist in the chest.
- Prevent Food Spoilage. Food left on a campfire or in the output slot of a production building (like a Mill or Crusher) will never spoil. This is a great way to store perishable goods long-term.
- Reset Spoil Timers. Pressing the “Sort” button inside a Feed Box or Cooler will reset the spoilage timer on all food items inside.
- Repair All Items at Once. At a Repair Bench, you can press ‘R’ to repair all damaged items in your inventory at once, pulling the required materials directly from your base storage.
Unconventional and Game-Changing Tricks
- Create a Portable Teleporter. You can use your third base slot as a temporary, portable fast travel point. When exploring a remote area, build a Palbox. This allows you to teleport back to your main base to drop off loot. When you’re done, you can open your map, hover over the temporary base icon, and press the key to disassemble it, which refunds the materials directly to you.
- Capture Merchants for In-Base Shopping. You can, in fact, capture the human merchants and Black Marketeers with a Pal Sphere. If you succeed, you can assign them to your base and have a vendor available 24/7.
- Farm Resources from Dungeons. You can efficiently farm materials like Pal Fluids and Ice Organs by entering the Penking boss dungeon. Defeat all the small Pengullets inside, but do not defeat the Penking boss. Then, simply exit and re-enter the dungeon. The small Pals will have respawned, ready to be farmed again.
- Save Your EXP Bonus for the Late Game. The “catch 10 of each Pal” bonus gives a massive amount of experience that scales with your level. A counter-intuitive but powerful strategy is to avoid catching 10 of the easy, low-level Pals at the start. Instead, save that easily-farmable EXP bonus for the brutal level 40-50 grind, where it will provide a much more significant boost and help you push through the final levels much faster.
- Revive Pals Instantly. Instead of waiting 10 minutes for a knocked-out Pal to revive in the Palbox, there’s a faster way. Put the fainted Pal in your party, then go to sleep in a bed for the night. When you wake up, it will be fully revived and healed.
Conclusion: Becoming a Palworld Legend
You hold in your hands the collective knowledge of a master tamer. You’ve learned to survive the harsh wilderness, to build a sprawling industrial empire, to command your Pals in glorious combat, and even to bend the very rules of genetics to your will. You have transformed from a castaway into a conqueror, a manager, a scientist, and a legend of the Palpagos Islands.
But this journal is not the end of your story; it is the beginning. Even with over 100 tips and tricks laid bare, the world of Palworld is vast and holds countless more secrets waiting to be discovered. New Pals will be found, new lands will be charted, and new strategies will be forged in the heat of battle. Continue to explore, to experiment, and to share your own discoveries with fellow tamers.
Now that you are armed with the knowledge of a legend, what new adventures will you forge in Palworld? The islands await.
