Breeding Mechanics

6. When do I unlock breeding in Palworld?

You unlock the Breeding Farm at Technology Level 19. It requires 100 Wood, 20 Stone, and 50 Fiber to build.

7. How do I make a Cake for breeding?

Cake is made in a Cooking Pot using 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey.

8. Why is the Cake not spoiling in the Breeding Farm?

If you place a Cake inside the dedicated box attached to the Breeding Farm, the expiration timer stops, preventing it from spoiling.

9. How do I get Honey for breeding?

The easiest way to get Honey is to capture a Beegarde and assign it to a Ranch at your base.

10. Do Pals evolve in Palworld?

No, Pals do not evolve. However, you can breed specific combinations to create "Fusion" variants (like Dyndosom Lux).

11. Can I breed Legendary Pals?

Legendary Pals (like Jetragon or Frostallion) can only be bred by pairing two of the same species. You cannot "breed up" to a Legendary using common Pals.

12. What determines the baby Pal's stats?

The offspring's stats and passive skills are inherited from the parents, though there is a random chance for new mutations to occur.

Gameplay & Survival

13. What is the best way to level up fast?

The most efficient way to level up is to capture 10 of every Pal species. This grants a massive "Capture Bonus" XP reward.

14. How do I stay warm in cold regions?

You need Cold Resistant Armor or to carry a Fire-element Pal. Standing near a campfire or torch also provides temporary warmth.

15. How do I stop my Pals from being depressed or sick?

Ensure your base has high-quality Pal Beds, plenty of food in the feed box, and a Hot Spring for Sanity (SAN) recovery.

16. How do I reset my Stat Points?

You can craft a Memory Wiping Medicine at an Electric Medicine Workbench (Level 43) to reset your character's stats.

17. What happens if my Pal faints?

If a Pal's HP hits zero, place them in the Palbox for 10 minutes to revive them.

18. How do I catch high-level Pals?

Use higher-tier Pal Spheres (Mega, Giga, Hyper, etc.) and lower the Pal's health as much as possible before throwing the sphere.

Base Building & Resources

19. How many bases can I have?

You start with one base. You unlock a second base at Base Level 10 and a third at Base Level 15.

20. What is the best Pal for Mining?

Digtoise is excellent for early/mid-game, while Astegon and Blazamut are the top-tier miners for late-game.

21. How do I get Ore automatically?

Build a base near Ore deposits and assign Pals with the "Mining" work suitability. They will automatically mine and transport it to chests.

22. What is "Work Suitability"?

It defines what tasks a Pal can do at a base (e.g., Kindling, Watering, Planting). Higher levels (1โ€“4) mean the Pal works faster.

23. How do I get Paldium Fragments?

You can find small blue rocks on the ground, mine Paldium deposits, or put Stone into a Crusher to produce them.

24. How do I move my base?

There is no "move" button. You must dismantle your Palbox and rebuild it at a new location. Resources used to build the Palbox are refunded.

25. Can my base be raided?

Yes, NPC enemies will occasionally attack your base. You can turn this off in the "World Settings" if you prefer a peaceful experience.
