7 Things You Should Do First in Palworld: Beginner Guide

Palworld is an open-world survival game that can be overwhelming at the beginning. Here are the 7 most important things you should do first to get off to a good start.

1. Gather Basic Materials

The three fundamental resources are Wood, Stone, and Paldium Fragment.

• Pick them up from the ground.
• Chop trees for wood.
• Mine stones and Paldium nodes.

These materials will allow you to create essential structures like the Crafting Station, chests, and Pal Spheres.

2. Unlock Technologies

Press Tab and go to the Technology tab. We recommend unlocking first:

• Crafting Station
• Pal Sphere
• Chest

This gives you the foundations to progress.

3. Create Pal Spheres and Catch Your First Pal

Pal Spheres are essential for catching Pals.

• Cattiva is one of the best to start with, as it helps with transport, mining, and crafting.
• Check each Pal's work aptitudes to know what it can do in your base.

4. Upgrade Your Stats

Every time you level up you get points to improve:

• HP
• Stamina
• Attack
• Work Speed
• Weight

At the beginning prioritize Stamina to explore further and HP if you fight a lot.

5. Build a House and a Bed

Sleep to pass the night safely.

• Build a house first.
• Place a bed inside.
• You can also add chests and Pal Beds.

6. Build a Campfire

The Campfire is vital because:

• It keeps you warm at night.
• It allows you to cook food (which satisfies more hunger).

Ingredients like Mutton (from Lamball) or eggs (from Chikipi) are cooked here.

7. Explore the World

Once you have the basics:

• Unlock Fast Travel points.
• Catch more Pals.
• Explore enemy camps for loot.
• Find NPCs and new resources.

Final Tip: Combine exploration with catching Pals to improve your base quickly.
