How to get High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld

High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld is a key item that can help boost your offensive firepower and efficiency by giving you access to new crafting recipes for guns, Polymer, and more. 

Getting your hands on this essential item might sound tricky, but you can improve your chances by defeating specific Pals or speaking to certain vendors. 

What is High Quality Pal Oil used for in Palworld?

High Quality Pal Oil is the main ingredient needed to craft Polymer, which is the key to making and maintaining guns as you level up and unlock new weaponry in Palworld. Even a basic musket requires five High Quality Pal Oil to craft, while more advanced weapons like Rocket Launchers take 30 Polymer. You need a good supply of this substance if you want to upgrade your arsenal and start gunning down your enemies, and thankfully, it isn’t hard to track down once you know where to look. 

How to get High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld

There are two main ways of getting High Quality Pal Oil: defeating or capturing Pals in the wild or purchasing it from a specialized vendor far in the north.

Where to buy High Quality Pal Oil

Another great way of getting High Quality Pal Oil is by buying it from the Wandering Merchant in Duneshelter. It costs 300 gold and you can buy as many as you like. The Wandering Merchant is at the very north of the map, and I recommend you use a mount to get there. You can easily recognize this NPC because they’re dressed in bright red clothes.

How to produce High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld

Following the April 4 update, you can now produce High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld. To do that, you need to assign Dumuds to Ranch. Luckily, the Pal can be easily found in the Volcanic biome, or the Forest one, so you shouldn’t have too many issues catching it.

Once you have a Dumud at your disposal, you can assign it to Ranch. It’s a tier-five technology, so it’s pretty easy to unlock, and it only requires two points to do so. In Ranches, a few Pals can drop specific items, and following the latest update, Dumud drops High Quality Pal Oil. So, if you’re in dire need of this ingredient, just make sure a few Dumuds are working in the Ranch, and you should have plenty of High Quality Pal Oils in the blink of an eye.

Best way to farm High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld

The best way to quickly farm High Quality Pal Oil is to head north into the desert region and start clearing out certain species that spawn there—specifically Digtoise. All Pals you encounter in this area will be higher level, and I recommend you bring along your best combat Pals.

Digtoise and several other species can drop up to six High Quality Pal Oil when you defeat or capture them. You can find other areas to grind for it, but visiting the desert during the day almost guarantees you’ll encounter Pals that drop the item you need. Digitoise is a Ground-type Pal, meaning the best way to counter it is to bring along a Grass-type Pal. While in the desert, you can also find Fire-type Pals, and I recommend you also have a Water-type Pal with you. This region is quite dangerous, especially because it has hot days and cold nights, and I suggest you prepare well before your travels.
