Resources and Materials – Palworld

Palworld is a survival crafting game. And the “crafting” part of that means that you need to gather lots of resources to craft with. But, some of those resources can be quite tricky to find (or create), being scattered all across the islands or only dropping from specific places.

Since crafting the best equipment requires some very rare resources, we’ve created this guide to help you find or create whatever resource you need in the game.

Resources in Palworld

The following is a list of resources in Palworld, which can be harvested, produced, or farmed. These are materials, usually used for creating other, more useful things such as equipment, structures, food, medicine, or Pal gear. There are several different types of resources in Palworld:

• Extracted Materials: Materials extracted directly from the environment.
• Manufactured Materials: Materials primarily crafted by players or their Pals at base.
• Dropped Materials: Materials primarily dropped by defeating Pals.
• Farmed Resources: Resources primarily farmed using Seeds and Plantations.
• Raw Food: Edible resources primarily dropped by defeating Pals, often used in recipes.
• Gems: Rare sellable gems primarily dropped from Alpha and Lucky Pals.
• Pal Souls: Pal Upgrade materials found throughout the world and dropped from Pals.

All the resources below fall into those categories, and are usually used in the creation of more complicated items with more practical use.

Extracted Materials

Extracted Materials are those which are primarily harvested from the environment, either using tools or Pals.

• Coal – Coal can be acquired by mining black rocks using pickaxes. These deposits can be found in the desert to the north of the central islands, on the volcano to the west, and in the large desert on the east side of map. Coal also drops from Blazamut and Menasting. Coal is used to craft Refined Ingots and Carbon Fiber.
• Fiber – Fiber can be acquired by destroying trees across the map, usually with an axe. Each tree drops 3-4 Fiber. Fiber is used in many tools and some structures.
• Ore – Ore can be acquired by mining speckled stones dotted throughout the map using a pickaxe. Each ore vein drops 30 or more ore. Ore can be smelted into Ingots, Refined Ingots, and Pal Metal Ingots.
• Paldium Fragment – Paldium Fragments can be mined from small blue-glowing stones using a pickaxe. Each small stone will drop about 10 Paldium Fragments. Paldium Fragments are primarily used to craft Pal Spheres.
• Pure Quartz – Pure Quartz can be mined from black rocks with white protrusions using a pickaxe. These rocks can only be found on the mountain in the far north of the map, requiring cold-resistant gear to acquire (and high-level Pals to survive). Can also be dropped by Jetragon, Astegon, and Frostallion Noct. Pure Quartz is required to make circuit boards.
• Stone – Stone can be mined from grey rocks found throughout the map using a pickaxe. It can also be generated using a Stone Pit at your base. Stone is used for many purposes, most especially structures and early tools.
• Sulfur – Sulphur can be mined from yellow-hued rocks using pickaxes. These deposits can be found in the desert to the north of the central islands, on the volcano to the west, and in the large desert on the east side of map. Sulphur is required to create Gunpowder.
• Wood – Wood can be harvested from any trees found throughout the map, preferably using an axe. It can also be generated using a Logging Site at your base. Wood is used for many purposes, especially structures and tools.
