Best Ways To Play In Early Game

How To Start Playing

Make A Primitive Workbench

First, collect wood by picking up fallen branches or by punching trees. With two pieces of wood, you can create a Primitive Workbench that you can use to make various tools.

Make Pickaxes And Axes

Item	Required Materials
Stone Pickaxe	- Stone × 5 - Wood × 5
Stone Axe	- Stone × 5 - Wood × 5

Create a Pickaxe and Axe with the Workbench. The Pickaxe can efficiently collect stones when you hit rocks. Similarly, the Axe can be used to hit trees and easily collect wood.

Create And Install A Palbox

Item	Required Materials
Palbox	- Paldium Fragment × 1 - Wood × 8 - Stone × 3

Create a Palbox and place them on the field to create a base. The area highlighted in circle around the Palbox becomes the player's base, so try to set it up in an open space as much as possible.

Reach Player Lv 2

Palboxes can be unlocked when the player reaches level 2 or higher. Open the [Technology] in the menu and use points to unlock it.

Priority Items For The Base

Item	How To UnlockRequired MaterialsEffect
Primitive Workbench	- Wood × 2Able to craft items
Repair Bench	Reach player Lvl 2- Wood × 10 - Stone × 10Repair weapons and tools
Wooden Chest	Reach player Lvl 2- Wood × 15 - Stone × 5Can store items
Wooden Structure Set	Reach player Lvl 2- Wood × 2Build a shed for the bed
Shoddy Bed	Reach player Lvl 3- Wood × 20 - Fiber × 5 - Wool × 1Sleep and recover HP Can change time between night to morning

If you build a wooden chest and a workbench in the base, you can use the deposited items as materials without having to withdraw them. Since it gets very dark and cold at night, it makes exploring during this time difficult especially in early game. Create a bed in order to sleep and advance time to morning.

Best Base Locations

Raise Plaver Lvl To 9

The Logging Site and Stone Pit can be unlocked at player Lv 7. It can automatically generate Wood and Stone which can then be used for materials. Additionally, at Lv 9, the Hot Spring used to recover Pal's SAN value and clothing with heat/cold resistance can be unlocked.

Best Way To Level Up Fast

Upgrade Your Base

Upgrading the base increases the number of Pals that can work on the base, improving work efficiency. The number of bases that can be established increases when the base reaches a certain level.

Automate The Work On The Base

Ideally, the base should become automated when it comes to production with the work of Pals. Place a facility that can produce materials and a Pal with the necessary work suitability for this.

Facilities Required For Automation

Straw Pal Bed	Reach player Lvl 3- Wood × 10 - Fiber × 5Sleep at night to recover the SAN stat

Hot Spring	Reach player Lvl 9- Wood × 30 - Stone × 15 - Paldium Fragment × 10 - Pal Fluids × 10Recover the SAN stat

By creating the Logging Site and Stone Pit, Pals can automatically produce Wood and Stone. If you set up food sources and beds, Pals can automatically recover their SAN Stat. If you can continuously produce berries, they will also produce food for your Pals.

Beginner Tips - Things To Know In Early Game

Character Are Created Per Server

Palworld requires players to create a character for each server. Even if you have a save you have advanced, if you want to play on a new server, you will have to create a character from scratch and play from the beginning.

Increasing Weight Stat Is Recommended In Early Game

It is recommended that the stat to raise in early game is Weight because it increases the amount of items the player can carry. Although there is a disadvantage of slowing down movement if it is raised too high, it should be increased in early game to make exploring easier.

Best Stats To Upgrade First

Lower Performance When Hungry

Players and Pals become hungry when they are active, which can result in hunger, movement reduction, and other disadvantages. If you continue to go hungry, starvation will cause damage to your character. Eat regularly and avoid hunger by eating berries and other food found in the field.

Hunger And Food

HP Gradually Recovers When You Are Full

HP is gradually recovered when your character is full. If your HP is depleted in battle, leave the area and wait for recovery while searching for a safe place.

How To Recover HP

Prevent Being Cold By Being Near Fire/Wearing Warm Clothing

At night, the temperature drops making it very cold. HP is gradually reduced during lower temperature, so making use of countermeasures are essential when working or exploring at night. Stay near fire such as bonfires, torches, or Fire element Pals. You can also wear cold-resistant equipment like the Tundra Outfit, which becomes available at Level 9.

Wide, Flat Areas Are Recommended For Bases

When building a base, choose a location that is as large as possible. Place a Palbox in the center of the open area and the area around the Palbox will become your base. A flat area is preferred since a flat area is needed for facilities to be set up.

Best Base Locations

Being Surrounded By Resources Is Also Important

If there are rocks, trees, or other resources around the base, Pals working at the base will procure them for you. Therefore, look for areas with abundant resources for your base.

Pals Have Work Suitability

Pals have Work Suitability which means that they work in different ways depending on their suitability when captured and where they are assigned to work at a base. Therefore, it is important to place Pals at the base in a well-balanced manner with a variety of suitability, such as Watering, Lumbering, and Mining.
