Palworld Ore Farming Tips

Ore is an essential resource in Palworld. You’ll need it to craft metal ingots, which are used in a wide range of recipes, from metal tools to base structures. But where can you find this precious ore, and how can you efficiently farm it? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the information you need right here!

When it comes to finding ore, you might stumble upon a few pieces while mining rocks. But to get a more substantial amount, you’ll have to locate ore deposits. These deposits are large, reddish-brown marbled clusters that sparkle at the top. They’re hard to miss!

While you might find just a couple of ore deposits in certain areas, there are some places where you’ll strike gold! One of the most fruitful spots to farm ore, especially in the early stages of the game, is behind the Desolate Church. If you haven’t established a base yet, try building one where you can find a few ore deposits. Trust me, it’ll be worth it!

Alternatively, when you’ve upgraded your first base enough to be able to build two bases, find a location with a large cluster of deposits and make that your secondary base. Assign mining Pals to work in this area, and they’ll take care of farming ore for you. It’s like having your very own mining operation!

How To Farm Ore 🚜

To farm ore, you’ll need a trusty pickaxe. In the early game, a Stone Pickaxe will do the trick, but as you level up, you can craft better ones like the Metal Pickaxe and the Refined Metal Pickaxe. Remember, the better the pickaxe, the more efficiently you can mine.

While deep in the mines, keep an eye on your weight gauge. It’s easy to get carried away with all that valuable ore, but if you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself overloaded and unable to move. Trust me, you don’t want to be stuck between a rock and a hard place!

Another way to farm ore is by enlisting the help of Digtoise, a Pal found in certain desert regions. If you’ve built a secondary base near ore deposits, put Digtoise to work there. His spin attack ability allows him to gather ore for you. It’s like having a Pal-powered mining drill!

However, for even better results, add Digtoise to your party. Once you unlock Digtoise’s Headband (Technology Tier 19), equip it and bring him out near an ore deposit. Activate the Drill Crusher ability, and watch as his spin attack pulverizes the ore in mere seconds. With this powerful combo, your ore farming will reach legendary levels of efficiency!

Once you’ve gathered all the ore you need, you might be wondering what to do with it next. Check out this guide to find out!
