Gathering Leather in Palworld requires patience and dedicated farming. It’s a material common in many mid-game crafting recipes, similar to Ingots. But unlike Ingots, which your Pals can gather for you, Leather is exclusively obtained through capturing or defeating Pals. The best Pal to farm depends on your other needs.
Best way to farm Leather in Palworld
In Palworld, the quickest method to farm Leather is by defeating low-level Pals that drop it. This is an efficient approach because it reduces the time spent on each kill and spares your Pal Spheres for other captures.
While numerous early and mid-game Pals exclusively drop Leather, it’s best to target Pals that yield Leather alongside other valuable crafting items like Flame Organ, Wool, and Bones. To streamline your farming process based on your crafting requirements, here’s a curated list of Pals to target for Leather, considering their additional drops.
- Leather and Flame Organ – Foxparks, Rooby
- Leather and Pal Fluids – Fuack
- Leather and Bone – Vixy, Rushoar, Gorirat
- Lether and Small Pal Soul – Nox
- Leather and Wool – Melpaca
You can find the habitat of these Leather-dropping Pals using your Paldeck in the game. They’re commonly found in the initial areas you explore, so encountering them while playing the game naturally shouldn’t be an issue.
If you’re not overly concerned about collecting additional items, a wide array of Pals yield Leather. I recommend farming the Pals between Rayne Syndicate Tower and Plateau of Beginnings, such as Foxparks and Melpaca. They’re usually around level five or lower, making them easy to defeat with any early-game weapon and low-level Pal.

Buying Leather from Merchants in Palworld
Rather than catching Pals that drop Leather, you can buy this essential material from regular or Wandering Merchants. The regular price of Leather is 150 Gold. This might not sound like much until you realize you may need lots of the material. You could end up spending big, but this might also save you precious time.
What is Leather used for in Palworld?
As a Common material, Leather has many uses in crafting. You can use it to make armor, saddles, and various other items. Since armor crafting is the primary purpose of Leather, you may find yourself needing quite a lot of the material if you want to upgrade your armor to the fullest.
Now, you can finally use Leather to craft stronger Armor, Feed Bags, and Pal items that make your life in Palworld much easier.
