Just getting started in Palworld or looking to master every mechanic in the game?
This complete Palworld guide gathers the top 100 pro tips and tricks to help you capture faster, build smarter, explore efficiently, and survive longer.
Let’s dive right in 👇
💤 1. Understanding Your Pals’ Behavior
-
Most Pals sleep at night, except Dark-type Pals, who can work 24/7.
-
Keep your base organized and comfortable — hungry or overworked Pals will become sad, weak, or even injured.
-
Assign a Vixy to your ranch early on. She’ll dig up Pal Spheres (capture balls), helping you catch more Pals faster.
-
Later in the game, upgrade your Vixy in the Pal Condenser so she produces Mega Spheres, ideal for catching powerful high-level Pals.
⚙️ 2. How to Optimize Your Base
-
Don’t waste time overbuilding your first base. Just create the essentials — a bed, campfire, workstation, and farm.
-
Once you find a resource-rich area, move your main base there and build a proper, stylish setup.
-
Use Viewing Cages to store extra Pals (up to 40 per cage) and free up your Pal Box.
-
Avoid filling your main base with too many Pals — it can cause lag or performance issues.
🗺️ 3. Map and Navigation Tips
You can place custom map markers to organize your world efficiently:
🕹️ Shortcut keys:
-
E (PC) – X (Xbox) – Square (PlayStation)
💡 Pro tip: Always mark your favorite mining spots and fruit trees so you can come back later.
🪂 4. Movement and Exploration Tricks
-
Skip crafting the Parachute or Glider. At level 23, unlock the Galeclaw Gloves and capture a Galeclaw — this combo gives you the best glider in the game.
-
You can shoot while gliding, allowing you to dodge hits and keep dealing damage midair.
-
Overencumbered? Use a Grappling Hook to move fast even when you can’t sprint.
-
Bonus tip: Equip multiple hooks of different rarities to bypass the cooldown timer.
-
⚔️ 5. Combat and Leveling Strategy
-
Focus your stat points on Health and Carry Weight only.
→ You get 49 points total; no way to reset them later. -
Capture 10 of every Pal species to maximize XP gains early on.
-
Use the roll/dodge mechanic during fights — most enemy attacks are easy to predict.
-
Certain foods grant stat boosts:
-
🍔 Mosara Cheeseburger → +20% Attack
-
🥗 Salad → +11 Sanity for your Pals
-
🏠 6. Survival and Base Management
-
Keep campfires away from Pals — they can catch fire and burn down your base.
→ Build a Cooking Pot at level 17 to prevent this. -
Set up temporary shelters when traveling (bed + fire). Dismantle them afterward to reclaim materials.
-
Use Foxparks as a mobile light source when exploring at night.
-
To organize fast:
-
Press R (PC) or RB (Controller) to auto-transfer items into matching storage boxes.
-
💰 7. Earning Gold and Crafting Efficiently
-
Capture a Lyleen Ma and assign it to your ranch — it will generate gold passively.
-
Sell all items labeled “Can be sold to merchants” — they’re purely for profit.
-
Best money-making trick:
→ Turn Ingots into Nails and sell them — 160 gold per Nail adds up quickly! -
Capture a Merchant or Black Marketeer to keep in your base.
→ Move them in/out of your Pal Box to refresh their shop inventory until they sell what you need.
🧩 8. Capturing and Upgrading Pals
-
Throw your Pal Sphere at the Pal’s back for a higher capture rate.
-
Use status effects (freeze, stun, or paralyze) to boost your chances even more.
-
If a Pal faints, place it into a Viewing Cage and take it back out — it’ll instantly revive.
-
Use the Pal Condenser to strengthen your Pals. You can condense up to 4 times (Tier 4 = max power).
→ Requires 116 duplicates of the same Pal species. -
Breed Lucky Pals to pass down their unique passive skill to offspring!
🔥 9. Best Pals and Elemental Strategies
-
Fire-type Pals are the most versatile — they’re strong against two other elements.
-
Capture a Nightwing early: it’s the first flying mount and a huge mobility upgrade.
-
When mounted, you and your Pal take no fall damage.
-
Certain mounts (like Fire or Ice types) grant elemental damage bonuses when you use ranged weapons.
🧠 10. Advanced Pro Tips and Hidden Mechanics
-
Repair all equipment at once using R (PC) / Y (Xbox) / Triangle (PlayStation).
-
You can dismantle your base remotely from the map to rebuild elsewhere.
-
Cake stored in a Breeding Farm never expires — perfect for long-term storage.
-
Skill Fruit Trees respawn after a few in-game days — always mark them.
-
Legendary Schematics (for weapons and gear) drop from Alpha Bosses.
→ Capture them, then butcher them for a second drop chance.
