Tips & Tricks
Before creating a new world in Palworld, it’s advisable to tweak different settings to make gameplay easier. Adjustments such as experience rate, capture rate, HP, and damage can be beneficial. Additionally, playing in a party or having a guildoffers an advantage; you can drop your Pal or share your palbox for others to pick up, thereby gaining that dex entry.
Similar to well-known monster-collecting games, Palworld operates on a system where its creatures, known as ‘pals,’ have specific weaknesses. This guide explains which elements you can leverage to defeat every gym boss.
You don’t need to spend every technology point you earn. Some items, such as spears and swords, are less powerful compared to rifles and guns. Focus on building upgrades that are essential for updating your Pal box. Also, there’s no real need to get a second base; if you prefer to avoid micromanagement, you can simply focus on one base.
Wildlife Sanctuaries offer the best loot in the game, including unique Pals. The loot ranges from books that add +1 to technology, gems that sells for a lot of gold,to various accessories, fruit skills, and schematics for guns and armor. Remember, you can craft these schematics without prior technology research, allowing you to quickly obtain pistols of uncommon or rare quality early in the game. Be cautious around PDF Guards, as being spotted will trigger a persistent ‘wanted’ condition that only resets upon death. These guards will also appear wherever you go.
Pals that can fly, such as Nightwing, and don’t crawl or walk on terrain, like Quivern, are unique in their ability to fly over water without drowning or getting tired.
There are useful merchants that you can capture and bring to your base like the merchant that only sells amo. Once there, they serve as a Pal and provide a shop with infinite resources in exchange of gold, where you can also sell any excess resources. However, capturing them or engaging in combat will attract the attention of the PDF Guards, and the resulting status will not disappear until you die.
Some maps require cold and heat resistance, in addition to armor. You can also counter these environmental effects with accessories or fire/ice Pals.
After acquiring the Electrical Medical Medicine Workbench, you can craft a potion of Memory Wiping Medicine. This is quite useful when you have your best gear and want to reset your stats to focus solely on attributes like HP, stamina, and attack. (Note: Currently, there is a bug where the points spent on Lifmunk Effigies are lost upon resetting stats, so make sure to capture your 90 Pals before doing this.
1. Do not build base buildings that have a “job” so close together. Without a UI to assign stuff, spacing out your base does WONDERS to make sure you can manually assign stuff properly.
2. if you get a weird “no jobs available” on a certain PAL while trying to assign them to something, put them back in storage and then put them back in the base. It “resets” them and usually fixes it. Also, spacing stuff.
3. Carry Weight > HP (till like 1k) > stamina > HP. Carry weight is the most beneficial stat period. Stamina is good, but depending on server stamina, it depletes really fast. HP is important so you don’t randomly get murked. Attack stat is not so great to invest in at the moment. Crafting can get to ridiculous speeds but is definitely going to take some solid investing to get to an op spot. Maybe get decent weight, hp, and stamina and then throw the rest into crafting speed. Yes Pals can do it, but you want them do other things.
4. Build first base near an iron ore spawn area. There are a lot out there. Second and third base should be built near a coal spawn (desert) and a sulfur spawn (volcano)
5. make sure to place the main base point to maximize ground coverage.
6. Resources/recipes involving crafting, once placed inside a base, will be accessible and usable by all the benches/stations etc. so you can throw stuff in whatever box and you won’t have to look for it. A notable exception seems to be the repair tool. I think you might actually have to be carrying them to repair stuff.
7. Flying. Get to level 15 asap and get a Nitewing+Saddle. Flying opens up a TON of the world
