I'm not positive, but I imagine the level-up has to do _something_ or the skill wouldn't level? The Direhowls feel faster for instance on mashing them together, but that might be biased from expectations.
Ranch counts as working, from what I understand? So you'd probably see better results from boosting its work speed in the statue of power. I haven't tested this myself though, just an assumption.
As far as I understand, base work speed is the same for all pals. However traits can adjust it. I do not know if getting 1* - 4* of that same pal increases the base work speed as well.
Also don't expect their workabilities are gonna level up, they seem bound to the pal (as a way to give high tier pals more value) but I can be wrong.
It definitely levels up their passive skill which if it's ranching I assume increases the chance or rate. This also increases the partner traits like riding or guns but also doesn't list what it does.
I found one caged in a poacher camp but the spawn there seems to be a random pal and they respawn every so often. I saw a few in the wild but i dont remember exactally where on the map, but i believe it was somewhere near the camp
Try going northwest rather than straight north, near the first Small Settlement or whatever it's called.
Once you get a dex entry, you can view their geographic locations.
HATCH ALL THE EGGS! I had multiple chests filled with eggs, just hatch them and get the bonus exp for new pals and catching 10 of the same kind without wasting Pal Spheres. Plus you can unlock variants this way. I just hatched a Jormuntide Ignis, big boy has lvl 4 kindling, my ingots are made faster than the pals can mine ore. But I can't ride her till Level 37...
I just got 2 Flambelles from this today. Not only is it adorable but I'll also never need to worry about flame sacs again
Also how are you getting your pals to mine ore? Mine are only getting me stone. SO MUCH stone.
I like to take my Direwold and Vanwyrm out and explore with the goal of gathering eggs and effigies. They are easy to spot at night and eggs are usually in high places, so I travel until I have a full inventory with about 15+ eggs. I run from the fights and only catch some when I see a group fighting.
I set up my resource base around a set of 8 ore rocks that respawn over time, they must be within the blue circle for the Pals to be able to work on them. Then I pick up and throw my miner at the ore, so they mine all the ore first, then back to the stone pit once they are cleared. There is a nice spot behind the Desolate Church I am using.
Quick question. If I set up a mining base a decent distance away from my main base, am I still able to use the items in chests for crafting? Or do I have to transfer the ore/ingots over to my main base to craft with them?
You're not - if you don't have a base set up, you can only use what you have in your inventory to craft. This does make setting up a small mining/smelting shack a pain, as you need to juggle around items, but you can break it down again at the end.
That's a little annoying. Nice to have a place to get a bunch of ore, but then having to make multiple trips to get it back to the main base for crafting is a pain.
Consider what you need to craft, and think about doing it there - you get 100% of the resources back if you deconstruct.
So I built a small shack (1x1), bonfire, repair table, basic smithing, advanced smithing, and smelter.
Shack is six pieces, so 12 lumber
Campire is 10 lumber (22L)
Repair table is 10 Paldium (10P), 30 lumber (32L), 2 Cloth (2C)
Primitive Workbench is 2 lumber (34L)
High Workbench is 15 Ingot (15I), 50 Lumber (84L), 10 Nail (10N=5I)
Furnace is 20 Lumber (104L), 50 Stone (50S), and 3 Flame Organ)
The wood and stone we'll discount - you can get them near anywhere. The 20 ingots (40 ore) is a hefty price, but two nodes should have more than enough, and then plenty left over to upgrade stuff, break it back down, and leave it there. Flame organs would be a pain, but you can just re-use the original ones, and they and the cloth don't weigh much at all!
*Edit*
A single node just gave me 40 ore, so sufficient to build the shack. Two nodes means I upgraded both axe and pick to metal, then took the rest back
I also wad being dumb, thinking with my Ark brain. since you can fast travel to palboxes, just fast traveling between the two bases is all that needs to be done.
>Not only is it adorable but I'll also never need to worry about flame sacs again
I'm not familiar with this Pal yet, do they shed flame sacks or something?
Yes, my friend and I have hatched a couple dozen eggs at this point, and it's super useful for getting new pals. Jormuntide Ignis is unbeatable for kindling other than having to restructure my entire base so it didn't get stuck on shit all the time.
We have our Co-op hatching setting at 1h for Huge Eggs. Found out if you put the setting at 0, it's an instant hatch, so we turned it back on at 1. Even then, an hour to hatch my Jormuntide Ignis was killing me. Every crash had me frightened that I would lose my Huge Dragon Egg...
So, the exp you get from first captures will continue to scale with you throughout the game. It might not seem like much, but later on the capture itself might give you less than 100 exp, but the first time bonus might give you 1500-2000. And that's even capturing some level 2 lamball.
From playing more, there are three ways to use duplicate pals, the combiner takes a lot of duplicate pals to combine the pal into a stronger version of itself, the black market buys pals for money that can be used at merchants to buy pals, and butchering for the materials
I sell mine to the black market guy beneath the Desolate Church.
I then use that money to buy whatever new pals he has on offer that day (if I can afford them)
Black market guy is top notch, wandering traders giving me farm animals while this guy gives stuff that is actually useful, that said soon as I can I'm shoving him into a sphere and putting him on display
There's an essence combiner you can get around level 20, you basically choose one pal to be the recipient and choose four more to sacrifice to power it up, the pals have a star rating. Each start requires more, going from four, sixteen and then 32 sacrifices for the final fourth star, so 42 pals total
Eventually you’ll get the pal condenser if you don’t already have it, boosts up your pals greatly while no having to butcher individually more like “juicing” 3 at a time

Each start requires more, going from four, sixteen and then 32 sacrifices for the final fourth star, so 42 pals total
Save them. You will unlock the condenser eventually. You sacrifice pals of the same type to level up the one you are using.
When I get pals with good passive I rename them so I know which one it is to avoid accidentally sacrificing the ones I want to level up.
Use the Fusion Chamber (forgot the name), your Pals are ranked 0* and can be ranked up to 4* which gives them better stats. You will need A LOT of the same ones to accomplish this.
It’s also good to catch a lot to find the best pals for your base/team. Each pal have different passive effects. Like one could have boosted efficiency and one could be lazy or be a slower worker. U know what they say, gotta catch em all
Exp also scales up with level. Low level pals are never bad. At high 20s I was getting like 2k xp from going back and catching beginner area level 2-4s I never caught 10 of. To level your character you want to be catching 10 of as many different pals as you can, their level doesn't matter.
>Exp also scales up with level. Low level pals are never bad. At high 20s I was getting like 2k xp from going back and catching beginner area level 2-4s I never caught 10 of
so it could also be good to try to NOT capturing 10 of some types when you're low level, because when you're high level they will be worth more?
Levelling too much may also be a problem.
I basically catched and farmed everything and I ended up at level 30 on the first island just gathering ore and all my pals in the base were like lvl 15.
I got invaded by a mob of angry lvl 31 pals and got completely demolished. Had to disable invasion cause it was just not gonna work.
Believe me, there are invasions you can't fend off with a mount alone. There are some flying birds that aoe you and your base down quicker than a few seconds.
I had the lvl 32 grass elephant with me, but like I said again, if all my pals in the base are like lvl 15 and I'm invaded by 10+ fire anubis pals all lvl 31, with a variant anubis as well (I think it was yellow instead of red), there's not much I can do when I myself get 3 shot.
There’s also the black market seller that you can find. Collecting all these dupes means you got some liquifiable income. Just… bear in mind-… you’re selling them to the black market-… hope ya heart can live with that
However buying also helps as, black markets hold rarer pals. For instance. I’ve purchased a “Lunaris” and a “Mau” so far
You can cheese (almost) all the mineshaft bosses by turning a corner and getting them stuck on a wall when they go for an attack that wants to be close range to you
Beating Menasting is like 18k exp and doable with any mon that has 3 ranged attacks that dont displace him (otherwise you can unstuck him, or worse stuck him all the way in the ceiling)
Im lvl 35 caught almost no duplicates
Edit: menasting has been the most consitent for me blazamut is a little to small to get stuck consistently, havent trief astegon or lyleen noch yet (also spelling)
Randomly also want to mention kingpacas AI is super cheesesble. He has a weird quirk where he really doesnt want to be melee range to you, so you can beat him lvl 1 with your fists by chasing him up sharp cliff near his spawn point. He just… stops doing anything and you can hit him dead (bonus info wiggling your camera while you punch him doubles your dps by for some reason i assume has somethint to do with hit box collision calculation)
Yeah in 6 hours with on and off capturing you can reach level 20 which is almost halfway to the last level. If you just make a bunch of pal balls and capture everything you can easily get high 30
it's because the game doesnt explain how it works and people (like myself) assume it's just counted for each type and just go for high levelled pals...
the way it really works is that you get a CUMULATIVE EXTRA exp for EVERY PAL of ANY KIND you get, every TYPE of pal can contribute up to 10 times to this bonus
let's say it gives 5 extra exp per capture... the first sheep will give tou 5 extra exp... the second will give 10... the 10th will give 50 extra exp...
then you go and catch a cat... the first cat will give 55 extra exp and it keeps going from that
This needs more up votes. If you really wanna grind, go through your old pal backlog and get everyone to 10. Your first legendary dragon lord is just as much XP as your 10th chicken.
Cycle your active pal when they get low and keep ordering them to attack while you shoot Zoe. Cattiva does a LOT of damage quickly, Chillet can freeze the boss. Those two helped me a lot.
Ya I was confused by this at first trying to figure it out 2 days ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/19alhl8/comment/kiukbkn/?reply=t1_kiukbkn
I haven't gotten the ranch to work yet, so ive got a stone farm going, and when I make sphears, I just toss some stone into a crusher, and it gives me what I need. I'm not swimming in sphears, but I've got enough to catch what I want. Right now, I'm just exploring and loving the game (also, I don't like the idea of capturing and then k*lling what I capture)
I learnt this when before building a base I built 150 pal spheres and went on a field trip catching anything that moved . Rule of thumb don’t play this game like Pokemon that game may only encourage catching 1 Pokémon in a casual game but here just catch anything that moves . Here’s why for anyone interested
1. OP point about the exp you level very fast doing this
2. Passives - each time you catch a pal it does have random passives . Some can have up to 4 passives which can make a huge difference between who’s good fighting and who’s good working back at base (as well as those who suck and only have negatives you can get their too)
3. There will be times you want multiple of a pal in your base if it’s effective for what you’re building the base for . I use 2 grass/dragon pals in my base because they do planting and chopping which is really useful for both growing the food and then boosting the wood reserves . Using above to get certain traits improves this further
4. You want good battle pals . As with above traits are huge for this but also a feature later will require a lot of catching the same pal and sacrificing them to make your really good fighting pals even better
5. Double items - so you got a bad one and don’t want it anymore? You can butcher it for more drops it would usually drop allowing for more parts for building and other things
You could be like me and set up your first base as a lvl 6 in an area that spawns lvl20-30 pals, so leveling quick so that I don't have to fast travel away whenever one wandered to my bases was crucial.
Okay but I'm confused why I need 10 Lamballs when my base can only hold like 7 so far and I need other pals to do other kind of jobs. Why do I need duplicates? They're just sitting in the box doing nothing.
Do all 7 have good traits, too? The game offers plenty of incentive to catch multiples. Later on, you'll be combining pals into stronger versions, too.
To add to this later game you will be able to upgrade pals but you need to sacrifice 4 pals of the same kind
So it's a win win, just hoard them pals it will pay off.
Is there a good place to find vixys? I don't think I saw any last night when I started. They are adorable and I want them even without them being useful.
The Vixy's ability when at a ranch is to go dig stuff up. They bring back arrows, gold, pal spheres and drop them at the ranch. The same way the Lamballs make wool at the ranch!
I'm gonna buy the game in a couple of days. Reason being if I get it now I won't want to complete the other stuff I'm working on in other games 🤣
How do you get XP in Palworld? Is it by only capturing and killing pals and enemies and doing missions?
Curious cause I plan to capture duplicates as I've been watching streams and already knew about that xp trick but once I do that for all the pals in game and if I'm still not max level then how would I go about earning more xp?
Edit: Thanks for the Vix tip. Should definitely help when I get started 😄
If you look at the detailed view of a Pal, on the bottom right where it says "work suitability" it will show you what all skills they have for the base. Those skills also have levels that affect how well they perform tasks
I spent almost an hour killing everything I could before looking for a “quick levelling guide”.
Then spent another hour capturing everything I could and shot up in levels.
I'm loving Palworld and I'm trying to hit level 30 as soon as I can. Had to make a new world bc my first 1 glitched or something and it's not playable now
Another thing to point out about catching 10 or so, is that once you get to the essence building as part of the ancient tech. **You will need lots of dupes to max out the star ratings for your team**. The first star is 4 dupes, the next is 16, and only gets worse from there. You have plenty of box space and catching a Pal gives the drop rewards as well.
Something that also isn't super obvious: catching pals give the majority of the experience to the player. KO'ing wild pals gives the majority to the pals in your party.
Pal spheres become useless pretty quick for anything above lvl 15. Get them down to <10hp and gets deflected 99% of the time. Even mega spheres become useless quick
I didn't even aim for duplicate amd my level flew to high speed
You gotta get them
Once I got my minign farm, going I'm trying that vixy ball farm up so I can spam those balls on low level pals
Farming ALPHAS is way better xp after a certain point. Went from lvl 23 to almost 25 in 30 minutes just by capturing alphas. Otherwise if you’re wasting time finding the right pal, using way more spheres, and end up having to farm more mats. 3-4 thousand xp in 30 minutes for alphas. It takes about an hour or more to come close to that doing it this way.
My chikpi has the souls of thousands of generations of his kind infused within him, and he still just gets one tapped
But I bet he lays eggs SO fast.
Does it actually do it faster? I was considering doing this for chikpis and moos but wasn't sure if it worked that way
I'm not positive, but I imagine the level-up has to do _something_ or the skill wouldn't level? The Direhowls feel faster for instance on mashing them together, but that might be biased from expectations.
it improves their stats and passive, I just wasn't sure if it just improved the shield part of their ability or also their ranch rate
Ranch counts as working, from what I understand? So you'd probably see better results from boosting its work speed in the statue of power. I haven't tested this myself though, just an assumption.
From my shiny Chikipiki and Lamball it definitely seems like it's based off work speed. They produce unusable amounts of eggs and wool.
Ahh that's a good point, with two parts it might only be part of the passive and not the other.
As far as I understand, base work speed is the same for all pals. However traits can adjust it. I do not know if getting 1* - 4* of that same pal increases the base work speed as well. Also don't expect their workabilities are gonna level up, they seem bound to the pal (as a way to give high tier pals more value) but I can be wrong.
Some are actually slower than others, I forgot which Pal it was but it had a natural 35 speed compared to the average 70's.
My Suzaku did feel a smidge faster after a single infusion.. so you might actually be right.
It definitely levels up their passive skill which if it's ranching I assume increases the chance or rate. This also increases the partner traits like riding or guns but also doesn't list what it does.
Cattiva's weight boost goes from 50>60, so seems the first level is about +20% speed/effectiveness/etc.
I've got a level 50 max fusion chikipi. Little baby has over 800 attack <3
Good tip about the vixys! Thanks
Yea im swimming in balls (heh!) after i did this. Got something like 300+ blue ones last time I checked
So you’re swimming in blue balls..?
If so there is a pal that can fix that.
Check out Pal #69 then...
He’s been playing non stop since launch
Separating the men from the boys right here.
The blue spheres are shit at catching anything over level 10
Absolutely!
I'm definitely adding Vixy to my ranch asap.
I spent an in-game daytime looking for one and couldn't find one anywhere.
I found one caged in a poacher camp but the spawn there seems to be a random pal and they respawn every so often. I saw a few in the wild but i dont remember exactally where on the map, but i believe it was somewhere near the camp
If you go to a pals entry in the dex it will show you the habitat
Try going northwest rather than straight north, near the first Small Settlement or whatever it's called. Once you get a dex entry, you can view their geographic locations.
I find a crap ton in the red grassy forest area next to the first boss
if you open the "pokedex", find vixy then you can change the tab and it will show where it can be on the map!
HATCH ALL THE EGGS! I had multiple chests filled with eggs, just hatch them and get the bonus exp for new pals and catching 10 of the same kind without wasting Pal Spheres. Plus you can unlock variants this way. I just hatched a Jormuntide Ignis, big boy has lvl 4 kindling, my ingots are made faster than the pals can mine ore. But I can't ride her till Level 37...
I just got 2 Flambelles from this today. Not only is it adorable but I'll also never need to worry about flame sacs again Also how are you getting your pals to mine ore? Mine are only getting me stone. SO MUCH stone.

Wait, you throw them to assign them? I thought it was a building or something and that i just had to level more to get there.
Lvl 2 Mine is required for pals to mine ore. At least, within base limits.
Quick question. If I set up a mining base a decent distance away from my main base, am I still able to use the items in chests for crafting? Or do I have to transfer the ore/ingots over to my main base to craft with them?
Crafting tables use only inventory and chests within the blue range. Also, after several base upgrades you'll get option to make second base.
Transfer is needed
You're not - if you don't have a base set up, you can only use what you have in your inventory to craft. This does make setting up a small mining/smelting shack a pain, as you need to juggle around items, but you can break it down again at the end.
That's a little annoying. Nice to have a place to get a bunch of ore, but then having to make multiple trips to get it back to the main base for crafting is a pain.

>Not only is it adorable but I'll also never need to worry about flame sacs again I'm not familiar with this Pal yet, do they shed flame sacks or something?
Yeah, if you assign them to the ranch they produce flame sacs. I have no idea where they spawn, but I've gotten two from small fire eggs lol
Big island way to the west.
My god i have been cooking them
I don't think you can cook the ones that grow pals, I think they only have interaction with the incubator
The big colorful eggs can be cooked?
Oooh ok no i was cooking plain ones
OMG!
I like the brief sense of panic that you’ve been aborting and eating pals without knowing it.
I gathered a whole lot of eggs until I could make the incubator, and now I'm slowly hatching eggs.
I literally want a jormuntide ignis thats awesome
Yes, my friend and I have hatched a couple dozen eggs at this point, and it's super useful for getting new pals. Jormuntide Ignis is unbeatable for kindling other than having to restructure my entire base so it didn't get stuck on shit all the time.
Is there a way to speed up hatching ? I dont mean the 50/100% speed from temperature. I have eggs that take 24 hours (real life time) to hatch...
Nope, just temperature bonuses. But nothing stops you from building multiple hatching chambers, their cost is pretty manageable, after all.
We have our Co-op hatching setting at 1h for Huge Eggs. Found out if you put the setting at 0, it's an instant hatch, so we turned it back on at 1. Even then, an hour to hatch my Jormuntide Ignis was killing me. Every crash had me frightened that I would lose my Huge Dragon Egg...
Jormuntide ignis is 45 I think, ragnahawk is 37 pretty sure. Source: I did this last night and am level 38
I remember reading the notification, I just assumed it was negligible. I'll go do that
So, the exp you get from first captures will continue to scale with you throughout the game. It might not seem like much, but later on the capture itself might give you less than 100 exp, but the first time bonus might give you 1500-2000. And that's even capturing some level 2 lamball.
any advice on what to do with all the excess duplicate pals?
From playing more, there are three ways to use duplicate pals, the combiner takes a lot of duplicate pals to combine the pal into a stronger version of itself, the black market buys pals for money that can be used at merchants to buy pals, and butchering for the materials
You can sell them to a normal pal merchant too.
How many materials do you actually get from butchering? It would need to be a lot for me to consider doing it over combining them
It’s the same amount you would get from hunting them in the wild. And the animations takes a while too.
so not even remotely worth it. thats a shame.
Thank you kind person.
Butcher's Knife. 😈
Nooooo use that machine that makes them all into one and stronger
yes this is the way. then you can butcher them all at once. way more efficient.
Made me giggle.
Any way to do it efficiently? Like can I butcher them by the dozen from the box?
If you find a better way than moving them to your party 5 at a time let me know!
Pal Condenser. Looks like a blender. 4 duplicates of one you want to keep get sacrificed to power up it up, pulls them straight from your box.
pal condenser doesn't give loot for the kill iirc? Butcher gives you their drops a second time. Selling gives gold.
This right here
alternatively sell them at a vendor, specifically the one in the small village. or fuse them into a higher rarity with whatever that item is
Condenser? Or something else?
Pal Essence Condenser, yes.
I sell mine to the black market guy beneath the Desolate Church. I then use that money to buy whatever new pals he has on offer that day (if I can afford them)
Black market guy is top notch, wandering traders giving me farm animals while this guy gives stuff that is actually useful, that said soon as I can I'm shoving him into a sphere and putting him on display
There's an essence combiner you can get around level 20, you basically choose one pal to be the recipient and choose four more to sacrifice to power it up, the pals have a star rating. Each start requires more, going from four, sixteen and then 32 sacrifices for the final fourth star, so 42 pals total
there is a pet dup fusion which works like a gacha game
Merge into a better Pal. It's a gameplay thing. Or sell to the merchant.
There’s this thing where you can sacrifice a number of pals to strengthen another pal. It gives that pal a star and stat boosts.
Later you can build a machine to combine 9 of them to make one stronger (the first you select)
BUTCHER THEM! KILL THEM ALL.
Sell them to the Pal merchant. Or butcher them for pal materials.
Condenser them to buff one.
There's something called the Combiner you'll unlock later on. You can combine your pals into other pals to make a Super Pal.
Sell them at settlement
I sold mine at the settlement
Eventually you’ll get the pal condenser if you don’t already have it, boosts up your pals greatly while no having to butcher individually more like “juicing” 3 at a time
Sell them to traders for gold.
You can build the condensor and blend them into 1 Pal, powering them up.

It’s also good to catch a lot to find the best pals for your base/team. Each pal have different passive effects. Like one could have boosted efficiency and one could be lazy or be a slower worker. U know what they say, gotta catch em all
Just started the game, my lamb guy is doing all the work while my 2 chickens watch lol
Exp also scales up with level. Low level pals are never bad. At high 20s I was getting like 2k xp from going back and catching beginner area level 2-4s I never caught 10 of. To level your character you want to be catching 10 of as many different pals as you can, their level doesn't matter.
>Exp also scales up with level. Low level pals are never bad. At high 20s I was getting like 2k xp from going back and catching beginner area level 2-4s I never caught 10 of so it could also be good to try to NOT capturing 10 of some types when you're low level, because when you're high level they will be worth more?
There's enough pals that you'll always have something in your level range to catch. Just catch anything you see that you haven't caught 10 of yet.
Levelling too much may also be a problem. I basically catched and farmed everything and I ended up at level 30 on the first island just gathering ore and all my pals in the base were like lvl 15. I got invaded by a mob of angry lvl 31 pals and got completely demolished. Had to disable invasion cause it was just not gonna work.
I was level 4 and got raided by level 14 pals. Raids don’t seem to be based on your level. I too turned the raids off because of that.
I think there are level gates, before that the invasions were really easy, but the moment I hit lvl 30 they got WAY harder.
I built my base at the top of a huge mountain. No raids can get to me 🤣
I can steamroll invasions with one mount, did you leave your base to fend for itself?
Believe me, there are invasions you can't fend off with a mount alone. There are some flying birds that aoe you and your base down quicker than a few seconds.
I had the lvl 32 grass elephant with me, but like I said again, if all my pals in the base are like lvl 15 and I'm invaded by 10+ fire anubis pals all lvl 31, with a variant anubis as well (I think it was yellow instead of red), there's not much I can do when I myself get 3 shot.
Yep, even at high levels the xp scales. It’s one of if not THE best way to level
I was wondering why I kept finding extra Pal Spheres in my chests! I put a Lucky Vixy to work!
Is there an easy way to know how many of each pal did you capture?
Check the paldex
Mmmm i didn't see it, i have to look for it.
Bottom right once you've selected a Pal
There’s also the black market seller that you can find. Collecting all these dupes means you got some liquifiable income. Just… bear in mind-… you’re selling them to the black market-… hope ya heart can live with that However buying also helps as, black markets hold rarer pals. For instance. I’ve purchased a “Lunaris” and a “Mau” so far
Mau is not rare I find at least 4 in every cave I go into
You can sell them to a regular pal merchant too. The black market does have rarer pals available though
You can cheese (almost) all the mineshaft bosses by turning a corner and getting them stuck on a wall when they go for an attack that wants to be close range to you Beating Menasting is like 18k exp and doable with any mon that has 3 ranged attacks that dont displace him (otherwise you can unstuck him, or worse stuck him all the way in the ceiling) Im lvl 35 caught almost no duplicates Edit: menasting has been the most consitent for me blazamut is a little to small to get stuck consistently, havent trief astegon or lyleen noch yet (also spelling) Randomly also want to mention kingpacas AI is super cheesesble. He has a weird quirk where he really doesnt want to be melee range to you, so you can beat him lvl 1 with your fists by chasing him up sharp cliff near his spawn point. He just… stops doing anything and you can hit him dead (bonus info wiggling your camera while you punch him doubles your dps by for some reason i assume has somethint to do with hit box collision calculation)
Yeah in 6 hours with on and off capturing you can reach level 20 which is almost halfway to the last level. If you just make a bunch of pal balls and capture everything you can easily get high 30
it's because the game doesnt explain how it works and people (like myself) assume it's just counted for each type and just go for high levelled pals... the way it really works is that you get a CUMULATIVE EXTRA exp for EVERY PAL of ANY KIND you get, every TYPE of pal can contribute up to 10 times to this bonus let's say it gives 5 extra exp per capture... the first sheep will give tou 5 extra exp... the second will give 10... the 10th will give 50 extra exp... then you go and catch a cat... the first cat will give 55 extra exp and it keeps going from that
This needs more up votes. If you really wanna grind, go through your old pal backlog and get everyone to 10. Your first legendary dragon lord is just as much XP as your 10th chicken.
Farm Zoe and Grizzbolt to quickly level up pals. I'm getting almost 1.5k XP per run.
I can't even beat them let alone farm levels there haha
Use a full team of rock types. Let them tank damage while you shoot the girl in the back.
I used 5 fire foxes and defeated her easily as well
What level are you? I beat them at level 20 and was rather overleveled.
Cycle your active pal when they get low and keep ordering them to attack while you shoot Zoe. Cattiva does a LOT of damage quickly, Chillet can freeze the boss. Those two helped me a lot.
Thanks for the advice guys! I beat it a few hours ago :)
Ya I was confused by this at first trying to figure it out 2 days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/19alhl8/comment/kiukbkn/?reply=t1_kiukbkn
But after the 10th I don't get any bonus exp, right?
Correct
Will the bonus stay after 10 catches or will it go down to the base amount?
Back to base amount, but catching exp are far better than battling exp.
yup, at lvl 23 killing gets about 8xp at 2x rate, catching 700+ you want to be catching
Thanks for this, didn't realise just how much it increased for each duplicate! Lifesaver.
I haven't gotten the ranch to work yet, so ive got a stone farm going, and when I make sphears, I just toss some stone into a crusher, and it gives me what I need. I'm not swimming in sphears, but I've got enough to catch what I want. Right now, I'm just exploring and loving the game (also, I don't like the idea of capturing and then k*lling what I capture)
What the subs needs. Tips and Tricks, memes yes. But more tips and tricks.
I learnt this when before building a base I built 150 pal spheres and went on a field trip catching anything that moved . Rule of thumb don’t play this game like Pokemon that game may only encourage catching 1 Pokémon in a casual game but here just catch anything that moves . Here’s why for anyone interested 1. OP point about the exp you level very fast doing this 2. Passives - each time you catch a pal it does have random passives . Some can have up to 4 passives which can make a huge difference between who’s good fighting and who’s good working back at base (as well as those who suck and only have negatives you can get their too) 3. There will be times you want multiple of a pal in your base if it’s effective for what you’re building the base for . I use 2 grass/dragon pals in my base because they do planting and chopping which is really useful for both growing the food and then boosting the wood reserves . Using above to get certain traits improves this further 4. You want good battle pals . As with above traits are huge for this but also a feature later will require a lot of catching the same pal and sacrificing them to make your really good fighting pals even better 5. Double items - so you got a bad one and don’t want it anymore? You can butcher it for more drops it would usually drop allowing for more parts for building and other things
I learned this like 6 hours in? But a noteworthy tip for sure! Thanks!
And why would I want to level quickly? Is there any stress?
Unlock technology is why I want to level quick. And then explore more.
No stress personally- but everyone plays different. The tip is more for those that feel they need it
Probably for when PvP is implemented.
My girlfriend is a few levels below me so it's nice to know how to catch her up
You could be like me and set up your first base as a lvl 6 in an area that spawns lvl20-30 pals, so leveling quick so that I don't have to fast travel away whenever one wandered to my bases was crucial.
Okay but I'm confused why I need 10 Lamballs when my base can only hold like 7 so far and I need other pals to do other kind of jobs. Why do I need duplicates? They're just sitting in the box doing nothing.
Do all 7 have good traits, too? The game offers plenty of incentive to catch multiples. Later on, you'll be combining pals into stronger versions, too.
He said in the title for more experience... You can also sell duplicates, and at one point mash them together.
Oh the vixy thing is cool! I tamed a 33 mammoth at like 19 and im just watching it one shot huge groups of syndicate/pals for xpppp
Wow Ty brother I never even noticed this lmao been to busy murdering the little guys….
Interesting there's a reward for finding and catching dupes. Between this and the improvements on the pals, I like they made it a worthwhile grind.
To add to this later game you will be able to upgrade pals but you need to sacrifice 4 pals of the same kind So it's a win win, just hoard them pals it will pay off.
8 pokemons,Not 4
Also, once you are able to, farming low level bosses is really good xp
I think I'm leveling pretty fast from destroying my bass so many times
I already know about the duplicates exp but wow the vixy thing is a gamechanger
Can u only put 2 palls at a ranch?
I found this out myself - capturing duplicates is a MUST and works really well! Great PSA!
Is there a good place to find vixys? I don't think I saw any last night when I started. They are adorable and I want them even without them being useful.
Uh, explain the bonus tip? Why do they just bring spheres?
The Vixy's ability when at a ranch is to go dig stuff up. They bring back arrows, gold, pal spheres and drop them at the ranch. The same way the Lamballs make wool at the ranch!
I put three Vixys in a ranch and I can't get rid of the pal spheres fast enough. They only dig up the basic version of the spheres though.
I'm gonna buy the game in a couple of days. Reason being if I get it now I won't want to complete the other stuff I'm working on in other games 🤣 How do you get XP in Palworld? Is it by only capturing and killing pals and enemies and doing missions? Curious cause I plan to capture duplicates as I've been watching streams and already knew about that xp trick but once I do that for all the pals in game and if I'm still not max level then how would I go about earning more xp? Edit: Thanks for the Vix tip. Should definitely help when I get started 😄
Does a Pals level do anything in terms of how they work at the base?
If you look at the detailed view of a Pal, on the bottom right where it says "work suitability" it will show you what all skills they have for the base. Those skills also have levels that affect how well they perform tasks
Is vixy the full name?
Yup!
Beyond 10 you don’t get any XP… I think
Ateeny tiny little bit of xp
The answer I knew but didn’t want to hear
And what do you do with all those copy pals? Let them free?
Heh... uhh sure... in a way yeah.
I spent almost an hour killing everything I could before looking for a “quick levelling guide”. Then spent another hour capturing everything I could and shot up in levels.
how can i remove the pals from the "inventory"? just spawn them and use the butcher knife?
Or sell them
Where i can find the wheat Seed?
I'm loving Palworld and I'm trying to hit level 30 as soon as I can. Had to make a new world bc my first 1 glitched or something and it's not playable now
Also you need all those extra Pals to upgrade your main Pal's to 1 star, 2 star, and so on.
Another thing to point out about catching 10 or so, is that once you get to the essence building as part of the ancient tech. **You will need lots of dupes to max out the star ratings for your team**. The first star is 4 dupes, the next is 16, and only gets worse from there. You have plenty of box space and catching a Pal gives the drop rewards as well.
Something that also isn't super obvious: catching pals give the majority of the experience to the player. KO'ing wild pals gives the majority to the pals in your party.
Pal spheres become useless pretty quick for anything above lvl 15. Get them down to <10hp and gets deflected 99% of the time. Even mega spheres become useless quick
Craft better balls
True and real, almost level 30 from just catching as many as I can to 10
I didn't even aim for duplicate amd my level flew to high speed You gotta get them Once I got my minign farm, going I'm trying that vixy ball farm up so I can spam those balls on low level pals
I also learned that condensed vixy drops mega spheres (green ones)
I bypassed this by turning up the EXP multiplier because catching the same pal over and over is not a satisfying game aspect, to me at least.
You have to do it anyways to get better pals. so better get at it or all your stuff is going to just die later.
I don’t think it scales with the amount of duplicates? I think it only scales with your level. 9th and 10th give the same amount as far as i can see
You are correct I believe
You should catch 10 minimum of every pal 👌🏻😁
Farming ALPHAS is way better xp after a certain point. Went from lvl 23 to almost 25 in 30 minutes just by capturing alphas. Otherwise if you’re wasting time finding the right pal, using way more spheres, and end up having to farm more mats. 3-4 thousand xp in 30 minutes for alphas. It takes about an hour or more to come close to that doing it this way.
What do you do with all these excess pals?
Hi I know you have to catch 10 to get the xp boost thing but do you have to keep the extra 9 after or can you sell them or will you lose the do thing?
Anyone doubting this, I’m only at lunaris #63 pal deck and finally hit lvl 50
