If you want to catch creatures in Palworld, you’ll eventually need to find yourself an item called a Paldium Fragment. Thankfully, we’ve already discovered the best ways to get Paldium Fragments, so let us enlighten you on what to do and where to go.
What are Paldium Fragments used for in Palworld?
Paldium Fragments are a necessary ingredient for crafting Pal Spheres, the Palworld equivalent of Poké Balls. Pal Spheres let you catch any Pal throughout the world after you’ve weakened it in combat.
Pal Spheres are crafted at a crafting bench by combining:
- One Paldium Fragment
- One Wood
- One Stone
When you’re just starting off, though, all these resources can be a pain to find, especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
How to get Paldium Fragments in Palworld
To get Paldium Fragments in Palworld, you can either mine nodes or find Paldium Fragments directly on the ground.
In the early game, the best way to get Paldium Fragments is to simply scan the floor for small blue chunks that you can pick up, just like Wood and Stone. They usually give one Paldium Fragment each and are fairly common the more you travel, but not as common as other resources.
While not particularly tough to spot, Paldium Fragments can go unnoticed if you’re too busy focusing on all the Pals running around. Train your eyes to spot the glint these fragments give off and you’ll soon be swimming in them.
The other way to find Paldium Fragments is by mining, and there are two sources. The small, unique-looking light-blue nodes, that appear around the map in abundance, only drop Paldium Fragments. Alternatively, you can occasionally get Paldium Fragments from Stone mining nodes (alongside Stone).
To mine, you need to craft a Pickaxe, which you can make at the basic crafting table using Wood and Stone. Be sure to stock up, as chances are you’ll be crafting lots of Pal Spheres across your playthrough.
