Palworld Resource Farming Guide: Mid‑Late Game up to Level 70

This guide provides strategies for acquiring every building and crafting resource in Palworld, focusing on mid to late-game progression up to level 70, before reaching the World Tree. It builds upon earlier game resource generation methods, emphasizing maximization and advanced techniques.

Optimizing Pal Appearance Rate

For increased regular Pal spawns without doubling boss spawns, set the Pal appearance rate in world settings to 1.9 times. This provides a significant boost in regular Pal encounters without the added challenge of more bosses.

Maximizing Ranch Production

The ranch is a crucial building for passive resource generation. To maximize its output:

• Work Skill Level: Higher work skill levels directly increase drop rates.
  • Increase skill levels using handbooks, which are guaranteed drops from Lucky Pals. Always catch Lucky Pals.
  • Condensing Pals for extra star ranks also boosts farm work skill potency, as these skills are tied to the Pal's partner skill.
• Work Speed: Work speed affects farm work.
  • Feed ranch Pals good work speed food.
  • Breed Pals with work speed passives like Remarkable Craftsmanship, Artisan, Serious Work Slave, or nocturnal passives to ensure they work overnight.
  • The Farm Hand passive boosts farm work skill level by one.
  • Cinnamoth boosts farm work skill level by one for all other Pals at a base.
  • Note: These two bonuses do not stack above work skill level 10.
• Monitoring Stand: Use a monitoring stand to disable all work types except ranching, ensuring dedicated ranching Pals remain focused.

Resource-Specific Farming Strategies

Wood

• Logging Site: Unlock at level 7. Place it in your base, and lumbering Pals will generate wood passively.
• Logging Site Level 2: Unlock at level 43. This site specifically generates hardwood, not regular wood. It's a separate station with a different output.
• Manual Hardwood Farming:
  • The desert area in the middle of the map: All desert trees yield hardwood.
  • Sakura trees on Sakurajima Island.
  • Desert trees in the larger desert biome.
  • Most trees in higher-level areas will also yield hardwood.

Stone

• Stone Pit: Unlock at level 7. Place it in your base, and mining Pals will generate stone passively.

Palladium

• Crusher: Converts 5 stone into 1 palladium.
• Refrigerated Crusher: Converts 2 ore into 1 palladium (better rate than stone).
• Excess Spheres: Can be converted, but the rate is generally not efficient.
• Meteorite Fragments: Crushable into palladium at a fair rate using the regular crusher.
  • Meteor Farming: Set the meteorite/supply drop spawn rate in world settings to 1 for spawns every minute.

Fiber

• Crusher: Converts wood into fiber at a rate of 1 wood to 2 fiber. As logging sites become more efficient, you'll have more wood for conversion.

Wool

• Ranch: Use Pals with the wool farm skill.
  • Cremis (early game, higher work skill level).
  • Melpaca (early game, higher work skill level).

Pal Organs (Ranch Farming)

• Flame Organs:
  • Ruby (earliest available).
  • Flambelle and Kelpsea Ignis are equally good. All start at work skill level 1.
• Ice Organs:
  • Foxicle (starts at work skill level 3). An Alpha Foxicle can be found early at level 15.
• Electric Organs:
  • Sparkit (only Pal for this, early available).
• Venom Gland:
  • Depresso (earlier availability).
  • Caprity Noct (Alpha Pal at level 23 in the Sealed Realm).

Aquatic Pal Fluids

• Ranch: Use Kelpsea (common early fishing reward Pal).
• Wild: Drops from specific element type Pals.

High Quality Pal Oil

• Ranch:
  • Dumud: Classic option, found relatively early.
  • Dumud Guild: Starts at work skill level 4 (massive bump over regular Dumud). Rewards are split between gold and high quality Pal Oil. Generally better as it produces more oil and bonus gold. At work skill level 10, regular Dumud might be slightly more consistent for oil only, but requires significant book investment.

High Quality Cloth

• Ranch:
  • Sibelyx: Solves this simply.
  • Sibelyx Primo: Does the same with a higher base farming skill level. Breed using Sibelyx + Lupore or Lupine.

Leather

• Ranch:
  • Surfent: Found around level 15 in early game areas. Provides a good solution for a resource often bought with gold.

Gold

• Passive Generation (Ranch):
  • Dumud Guild: Generates gold and high quality Pal Oil.
  • Mau: Exclusively gold-focused rancher, but starts at a lower work skill level. Breed using Chikipi + Depresso, or find in early area dungeons.
• Gold Coin Production Line: Unlocks above level 70. Resource-hungry but best semi-passive farm.
• Active Generation (Selling Pals):
  • Dumud Guild: Sells for an exceptionally high amount of gold (e.g., level 50-ish for ~55,000). Catch on the north shore of Sakurajima or fish.
  • Turdical Terra: Sells for a high amount (e.g., ~40,000 at the same level). Found on the southern beach of Sakurajima Island or fished.
• Active Generation (Selling Ore):
  • Sulfurite Ore: From Sky Island nodes, sells for a large amount. However, Sulfurite often has better uses at this progression stage.

Bones

• Ranch:
  • Sweepaeler: Starts at work skill level 2, making it a slightly better producer. Found on Sakurajima Island at night.

Metal Ore (Copper/Ore)

• Ore Mining Site: Unlocks at level 24 for automatic mining.
• Ore Mining Site 2: Unlocks at level 39, a better version of the first.
• Manual Mining Boosts:
  • Mammorest: Increases all mining and lumbering efficiency significantly when ridden.
  • Turtical: Partner skill reduces ore weight (likely only for base ore).

Coal

• Coal Quarry: Unlocks at level 37 for automatic mining.
• Manual Mining Location: Desert near Alpha Suzaku. An elevated section has nine coal nodes.

Sulfur

• Sulfur Quarry: Unlocks at level 46 for automatic mining.
• Excellent Mining Base Location: A spot with nine sulfur nodes, one ore node, and six pure quartz nodes.

Pure Quartz

• Quartz Quarry: Unlocks at level 52 for automated infinite production.
• Early Location: A main base location with three Hexalite Quartz nodes and a crude oil node.

Crude Oil

• Crude Oil Extractor: Unlocks at level 50, requires an oil node.
• High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor: Unlocks at level 51, does not require an oil node (can be placed anywhere in a base). Uses more electricity.
• Best Oil Node Locations for Bases:
  • Island south of the starting area: Six oil nodes.
  • Island off the coast of the desert: Six oil nodes.

Chromite

• No Automatic Farming: Most efficient to mine manually.
• Farming Strategy:
  • Use Smokey (partner skill reveals nearby Chromite).
  • Any cave on Fabric Island, especially the boss room, will have Chromite.
  • The cave with the Silverghes Alpha Pal has abundant Chromite. A quick trip can yield hundreds.

Hexalite Quartz

• Hexalite Quartz Mine: Unlocks at level 62 for automated production.
• Early Location: A base location with three Hexalite Quartz nodes and a crude oil node.
• Free Break Dungeons: Mine ore inside for loads of Hexalite.

Corium Ore

• No Automated Farming: Requires active farming.
• Farming Strategy:
  • Requirements: Swimming Pal mount, powerful fishing magnets (unlock with Corium ingots tech).
  • Booster: Gelaroy (partner skill boosts salvage rewards, found by fishing at night).
  • Process: Ride a swimming mount around the coast of Free Break Island. Look for salvage spots and use one magnet per spot to get Corium.

Sulfurite

• Sulfurite Quarry: Unlocks at level 72 (beyond this guide's scope, but mentioned).
• Location: Exclusive to the new Sky Island biome.
• Specific Mining Base Locations: Two spots with six Sulfurite rock nodes each (largest concentration found).
• Manual Collection: The central island under the tower has many nodes. Use Mammorest for increased mining efficiency.
• Breaking Nodes: Look for the shiny, sparkling weak spot and use the multi-cutter tool.

Ancient Civilization Parts

• Source: Any Pal with an Alpha version on the map will drop these.
• Farming Strategy:
  • Breed Alpha Pals or find Alpha Pal eggs.
  • Butcher these Alpha Pals for a constant source.
  • Guaranteed Alpha Breeding: Combine condensed Broncherry with Broncherry Aqua (partner skills ensure Alpha offspring).
  • Increased Egg Output: Use Vegetable Cake and Grintale (Pal) to multiply eggs per breed.
  • Increased Butcher Rewards: Breed Pals with Lavish Hospitality (+100% dropped materials) or Service-Minded (+50% dropped materials) passives.

Ancient Pal Manuscripts & Ancient Civilization Cores

• Ancient Pal Manuscripts:
  • Can be found through fishing (RNG).
  • Main source: Expeditions. Run the highest level expeditions possible for increasing amounts.
• Ancient Civilization Cores:
  • Start appearing as rewards in Astral Frost Cavern expeditions and beyond. This is the main source until true end-game.

Cake Ingredients

• Mushroom Cake:
  • Mushrooms & Cavern Mushrooms: Farmed at the ranch by Shroomer (found on Sakurajima Island).
• Vegetable Cake:
  • Tomato & Lettuce: Plantations available. Seeds can be purchased or randomly farmed at the ranch by Vaelette.
• Extravagant Vegetable Cake:
  • Cotton Candy: Farmed at the ranch by Woolipop (relatively early game Pal).
  • Potatoes, Onions, Carrots: Plantations available once seeds are acquired.
• Special Cakes (Above Level 70, but mentioned):
  • Caramel Cotton Candy: Farmed at the ranch by Woolipop Terra (new variant). Breed early using Woolipop + Killamari.
  • Mammorest Meat: Breed Mammorest in bulk. Use Lavish Hospitality and Service-Minded passives to increase butchering rewards, then mass butcher for meat.
