Wondering how to farm Pal Spheres in Palworld? Palworld requires you to catch Pals, which means you need some spheres to accomplish that goal. Having loads of Pals at your disposal is key for the game, but it’s not something you can do without the game’s version of Poké Balls. However many of the little critters you plan on catching, you need a whole lot more spheres since they can and often do fail. Here’s how to farm them and how to craft them.

How to farm Pal Spheres in Palworld without crafting

Nothing is more enjoyable than finding items you need lying around, and Pal Spheres in Palworld are no different. Here’s how to farm Pal Spheres with the help of Vixy in Palworld:

  1. Travel to the Small Settlement near spawn
  2. Find a Pal named Vixy. These neutral Pals are fairly simple to catch.
  3. Catch a few of them and return to your camp.
  4. Build a Ranch (50 Wood, 20 Stone, and 30 Fiber).
  5. Assign all Vixy to the Ranch. Wait for them to dig up Pal Spheres.
  6. Note that different Pals dig up different items and Vixy can dig up Pal Spheres, Arrows, and Gold.

How to craft Pal Spheres

Fortunately, if you’re not getting as many spheres from the farming technique, you can take matters into your own hands. Crafting Pal Spheres can be done at any Workbench. You can craft the Primitive Workbench at Level 2. You’ll need the following materials for a basic Pal Sphere – 1 Paldium Fragment, 5 Wood, and 5 Stone. The next section covers the other types of harder to acquire Pal Spheres.

Once you have them in your inventory, you are free to use them to catch all the wild Pals you’d like. Wood and Stone are easy to obtain, but Paldium Fragments are a bit harder. If you’re running low, run back to the sphere workbench to craft regular spheres (or any of the different types of pal spheres that you need) and continue on!

Save up the best Pal Spheres for the toughest Pals

Low-level Pals can easily be captured with a basic Pal Sphere. But if you’re on the hunt for exotic legendaries like Jetragon, consider Legendary Pal Spheres instead.

How to get Paldium Fragments in Palworld

Paldium Fragments can be acquired from blue Paldium rocks. These glowing blue rocks can be found in multiple spots. But they tend to be found near rivers and other water bodies. Dungeon caves have larger deposits that let you get more of this resource. Once you damage them, they will drop Paldium Fragments for you to use. Some normal gray rocks found around the land also can contain Paldium Fragments, but that’s a pretty rare drop.

You can also use a Crusher at your base to convert regular Stone to Paldium. Note that you’ll need 5 Stone to get one Paldium Fragment. The best way to break these rocks is to use a Stone Pickaxe. This is a starting tool that only costs five Stone and five Wood to make. It doesn’t require as much stamina, either.

Craft as many Pal Spheres as you can so you don’t get stuck out in the wild trying to catch a Pal and run out of the Pal Spheres. Always keep plenty of them on you because you don’t want to see a rare Pal and be unable to catch it.

That’s everything you need to know about catching Pals and crafting Pal Spheres in Palworld. Be sure to check out if you can evolve Pals in Palworld and how to fast travel in Palworld if you can’t get enough of Pocketpair’s open-world survival game.
