Palworld 1.0

Floating above Palpagos, a new set of islands has appeared in the skies! Kept aloft by the power of Paldium, this land holds an environment unlike the surface, with a unique civilization that has taken root over long years.

Sunreach introduces a wide range of new content, including new Pals, tower bosses, and ores that can only be mined using specialized equipment.

Explore every corner of Sunreach and challenge the towers hidden above the clouds. What awaits you at the edge of the sky may be the still-unknown memories of this island…

Why do the factions of the Palpagos Islands keep fighting over ownership of the towers? The mystery hidden on this island is finally revealed.

The key to the story of Palworld is the World Tree, towering over Palpagos, and it is here that players will face their greatest challenge yet.

- Ancient Ruins

Ancient Ruins have been added across the world. Through exploration and minigames, you can earn valuable rewards such as schematics.

- Watchtowers

Watchtowers have been added in various locations. Accessing one reveals the surrounding map and lets it serve as a fast travel point, making exploration of uncharted areas easier.

- New Small Islands

A total of 7 new small islands have been added, with three distinct biomes: volcano, desert, and ruins. Each island serves its own purpose, and features Pals you can only encounter there.

- New Settlements

Small settlements have been added at the Bamboo Groves, the Snowy Mountains, Sakurajima, and Sunreach. Each settlement features new NPCs as well as sub-missions.

In addition, enemy bases have been added at sea, further expanding the stage for exploration and combat.

Wildlife Sanctuaries, previously small islands, have been reworked as protected conservation areas established by an ancient civilization to preserve the natural environment. Each of the three sanctuaries has its own special environment with unique scenery, Pals that can only be found there, rare materials, and powerful bosses all await in these renewed sanctuaries.

Inside, defense drones operate to eliminate intruders. Sneak onto the islands and avoid the searchlights, or go in loud, the choice is up to you!

We've reviewed the placement and spawn levels of Pals throughout the world. Pal spawns feel more natural for each region you explore, adding a new sense of fun and adventure in your search for Pals!

*For the random Pal spawn mode, to correctly reflect this rebalance, placement data from v0.7.3 and earlier is no longer carried over.

The player level cap has been raised from 65 to 80. Many new technologies related to the ancient civilization have been added.

• Lifmunk Effigies has been reworked into "Pal Effigy." You can now collect effigies of various Pals to enhance the player's stats. (Lifmunk Effigies already obtained are carried over as is.)

• Added a new animation and effect when picking up a Pal Effigy. (The animation will be skipped when the player is mounted.)

• Rebalanced treasure chests, dungeon rewards, and item drops.

• Adjusted and improved dungeon layouts and lighting. Dungeon rewards were also rebalanced.

• Towers that have been cleared now display a different color.

• When a random dungeon is open, its entrance is now displayed more clearly.

• Added 15 entrances to random dungeons throughout Feybreak.

• Improved the layout of some random dungeons that were easy to get lost in.

• Predator Pals no longer appear at fixed locations; they now spawn at a low rate across the whole map.

• Junk and salvage targets are now easier to find.

• Changed the size of bounty targets to match that of regular NPCs.

• Moved the Free Pal Alliance tower to Crescent Moon Shore.

• Adjusted the description text for initial respawn points to suit each environment.

• Renamed "Forgotten Island," "Island of Chilling Winds," and "Windswept Hills, Plateau of Beginnings."

• Removed the Great Eagle Statue from the top of the tower bosses, improving map visibility.

• Adjusted the appearance of Sealed Realms. Their look now changes according to the strength of the boss inside, and two new variations have been added.

• You can now earn exploration experience when clearing some dungeons and enemy bases.

• Adjusted the number and positions of enemy bases on land.

• Added fast travel points.

• Implemented an auto-run function. With one press of a button, you can keep running automatically, making long-distance travel more comfortable.

• Changed the appearance of wild Red Berry plants to be easier to spot, and placed them additionally at the Sea Breeze Archipelago, Marsh Island, Eastern Wild Island, and Isle of Silence.

The story of Palworld has been significantly reworked.

Exploring Palpagos, fighting tower bosses, and the path leading to the World Tree now connect more naturally.

Sunreach, the World Tree, a colossal legendary Pal…! 

The goals of adventure that were once scattered have been organized, so you can progress through the game while pursuing the island's mysteries.

Story-driven, continuous sub-missions have been added. New NPCs and Journals have also been added across the world, letting you learn more about the world of Palworld through exploration.

• Some missions can now display multiple destination markers at once.

• The reward NPC's mission screen now displays the correct rewards.

• To maintain fairness following the reward adjustments, main mission and sub-mission progress have been reset.

Note: For tutorial and Tower Boss-related main missions, some missions will be automatically marked as completed based on your Tower Boss defeat progress. 

47 new Pals and 25 variant Pals have been added!

Meet still-unknown Pals by exploring Sunreach, the World Tree, and various other regions.

We've added a new mechanic, Awakening, that lets you strengthen your Pals even further.

In the newly opened mystical area, the World Tree, gather Radiant Gems hidden in its depths and use them on your favorite Pals to awaken their hidden true power. 

Aim for even greater heights, make your Pals the strongest!

We've added Mutation, a new mechanic where breeding has a low chance of producing a Pal stronger than the normal breeding result. Pals born from mutated eggs have higher stats and a unique passive skill.

We've also added new cakes with special effects:

• Mushroom Cake: Slightly increases the likelihood that newly born Pals will have higher stats.

• Vegetable Cake: Produces two Pal Eggs at once. 

• Deluxe Vegetable Cake: Increases the likelihood of mutations and makes stat growth more likely.

• Special Cake: Increases the chance of inheriting multiple passive skills from Pal parents.

Mutations will make Pal breeding more involved and exciting for players who want to raise the ultimate Pal!

We've added new Partner Skills and reworked the Partner Skills of over 200 Pals. Pal team compositions have never been more diverse, and now players can build Pal teams to fit any situation!

Beyond these examples, many other effects have been added or refined.

*For almost all Pals, we've adjusted things so that Partner Skill effects do not stack when you put multiple Pals of the same kind in your team. This widens team-building options while preventing the balance from becoming too skewed.

*Partner Skill descriptions have been improved so the specific effect values are easier to understand.

*Along with the effect changes, some Partner Skill names have been changed.

Furthermore, combining these Partner Skills now creates more powerful synergies than ever. 

With the large number of changes to Pal skills, players can now tailor their team to fit any situation. Some examples include…

\[Build Examples]

◆ Bow & Arrow Build

· Loomen: While in party, the player's arrows explode on contact.

· Robinquill Terra: While in party, increases the player's bow charge speed.

→ Combining explosive arrows and faster charge speed allows you to maintain both sustained fire and high damage from long range.

◆ Status Ailment Build

· Renjishi: While in party, the player's attacks inflict Burn.

· Jormuntide Ignis: While in party, nullifies lava damage and increases the player's and Pals' damage to enemies afflicted with Burn.

→ Raise the fishing success rate and reward amounts, gathering lots of items more comfortably.

Additionally, we've made numerous adjustments to make it easier to include a wider variety of Pals in your team and allow them to play a more active role.

\[Balance Adjustments]

• The "increased drop item amount" effect previously only activated while fighting alongside the target Pal; from now on, it activates just by having the Pal in your party. This makes it easier to build teams for exploration and material gathering.

• To increase the chances of obtaining seeds, Vaelet now drops seeds while ranching. This makes preparing for farming and building your base easier.

• To make early-progression materials easier to gather through ranching, we added ranch suitability to some Pals and adjusted the materials obtainable through ranching. Early base operation and material gathering are now smoother.

• For some Pals, such as glider-enhancing Pals and Pals that follow up on the player's attacks, crafting Pal Gear is no longer required. You can use the Partner Skill the moment you catch the Pal!

• For Partner Skills that perform follow-up attacks, follow-up damage can no longer finish off a Pal. This makes it easier to avoid accidentally defeating a Pal you wanted to catch.

\[Adjustments to Specific Effects]

• The player-healing effect of Pals such as Petallia and Lyleen has been changed from a fixed-value heal to a percentage heal based on max Health. It now remains a reliable healing method even in the late game when the player's max Health increases.

• Jetragon's Aerial Missile has had its power increased and cooldown shortened. You can now unleash powerful attacks with better tempo, improving the exhilaration of combat.

• Rushoar's charge has been adjusted to stop on the spot when it collides with ore. Your position is now less likely to shift during mining, making it easier to handle.

• Lamball's Fluffy Shield now has a wider defense range, making it easier to block attacks. It becomes an even more dependable presence for sudden defense and positioning support.

• Mimog can now open all kinds of treasure chests, even when not condensed. It becomes a more dependable presence in exploration right after you recruit it.

Many other adjustments have also been made.

Many passive skills granted to Pals have been added. Powerful passives with entirely new characteristics have been introduced, bringing new possibilities to raising and selective breeding.

For example:

• Lightfooted: Increases jump count while riding this Pal.

• Reload Master: Increases the player's reload speed.

• Ranch Master: Ranch Work Suitability +2.

A new category, World Tree Passive Skills, has also been added. These are incredibly powerful passive skills, but they come with a cost…

For example:

• Twin-Edged Holy Blade: Attack +50%. In exchange, defense decreases.

• Dimensional Leap: Movement speed +50%. In exchange, hunger depletes more easily.

• Demon's Hand: Work speed +90%. In exchange, SAN value decreases more easily.

Over 100 new motions in total, including…swimming, sleeping beside you, idle motions, and more, have been added to existing Pals. 

Many unique animations have also been added to the 47 new Pals. Pals now have more distinct personalities and display a wider range of behaviors during your adventures and life at the base.

We've improved shooting, dashing, weapon switching, and charge behavior while riding, and also adjusted the camera while riding. 

The sense of speed while moving is greatly improved, making riding controls more intuitive.

We've also reviewed the behavior of riding Pals when turning, etc., making movement more natural. Visual immersion is improved, and riding now feels more dynamic.

Additionally, you can now cancel a skill a Pal activates while riding with a jump + directional input, making it easier to adjust position and dodge during combat.

• Adjusted Pal and player behavior when mounting and dismounting to make riding smoother. 

• Improved the transition from dashing into charge skills while riding. 

• Some Pals now adjust their posture to match the terrain, resulting in more natural-looking movement and animations. 

• Added a dedicated motion for dashing while riding.

• Adjusted the player's firearm aiming motion while riding.

• Widened the range in which you can interact with items, facilities, and other objects while riding. This makes it easier to pick up items even while mounted on larger Pals.

Work Suitability Levels have been expanded to 10 levels, and the Work Suitability values of all Pals have been rebalanced. From the early game through the endgame, you'll continue to find opportunities to strengthen your base by seeking out even better work Pals.

In addition, each time a Pal ranks up, one of its Work Suitability Levels will now increase. As before, reaching the maximum rank will increase all of a Pal's Work Suitability Levels. This significantly increases the value of investing in your favorite Pals and makes training decisions for base management more meaningful. 

We've also adjusted things so that Applied Technique items are easier to obtain. In addition, we added "Applied Ranching Handbook I," an item that raises the work suitability level of ranching.

Reduced the number of captures required to complete a Capture Bonus from 12 to 5. You can now progress more smoothly to new regions and discover new Pals at a faster pace.

Reduced the number of Pals required to reach the maximum rank (from 116 total to 48). This reduces the burden of training and makes it easier for a wider range of Pals to excel in both combat and base operations.

• When the player remains idle for a period of time, party Pals will now also stop and face the player (They miss you!). This creates a more natural sense of partnership between Pals and their owner. 

• Changed the inheritance rules for active skills during breeding. Inherited active skills are now randomly selected from the three active skill slots set on the parent Pals. 

• Greatly reduced the cost of resetting a Pal’s Soul enhancements. 

• Halved egg incubation time in newly created “Normal” and “Hard” difficulty worlds.

• Increased the elemental damage bonus effects of “Divine Heaven,” “Flame Emperor,” “Sea Emperor,” “Thunder Emperor,” “Spirit King,” “Ice Emperor,” “Earth Emperor,” “King of the Underworld,” and “Divine Dragon.” 

• Enhanced the “Legend,” “Rare,” “Burly Body,” and “Diamond Body” passive skills. 

• The “Nocturnal” passive skill has been renamed “Insomnia.” 

• Upon respawning, players can now select Fast Travel points other than their base or starting location.

• Alt key inputs can now be assigned in the key configuration menu.

• Adjusted the item lineup of Pal Merchants and Black Marketeers to better match each region they appear in.

• Overall pricing has been adjusted based on Pal stats.

• Base Pals and party Pals will no longer lose SAN when taking damage.

• Reduced negative effects caused by hunger, fractures, and other status ailments.

• Increased Jetragon’s maximum stamina. 

• Lovander is now a Dark type.

Reworked overall player motions to improve responsiveness and control. Improved the feel of core actions such as movement, combat, and weapon handling.

• Changed the dodge action performed while attacking or aiming to a dash. This makes it easier to close the distance while avoiding enemy attacks or adjust your position while keeping your aim.  Note: When not attacking or aiming, the character will perform the traditional rolling action. 

• Attacks can now be performed while dashing. This allows players to transition into attacks while maintaining momentum, enabling faster-paced combat. 

• Reloading will now continue without being interrupted during dodge actions. Reloading can now continue while dodging, allowing players to move into their next attack more safely. 

• Controls now remain responsive during rolling. This makes it easier to adjust your movement direction after dodging, allowing for more intuitive control over distance and positioning.

Rebalanced the power, behavior, cooldowns, and usability of nearly all active skills, allowing a wider range of skills to be viable and effective. 

Holy Burst, which previously dealt excessive damage against large enemies, has had its hit count capped. Its power has been adjusted to 700, bringing its actual damage output close to previous levels. In addition, the power of top-tier active skills of other elements has been significantly increased to bring them in line with Holy Burst. Based on this new power structure, the overall power of other active skills has also been substantially increased.

Following a comprehensive damage rebalance, Pals in a party can now deal damage equal to or greater than the player.

Additionally, the usability of certain active skills that were previously difficult to use, such as Dragon Meteor, has been improved.

Many new active skills have been added!

Not only new Pals but also many existing Pals now have new, unique active skills.

For example:

• Fuddler: Added an attack that burrows underground and bursts out from beneath enemies.

• Starryon: Added a charge attack.

• Broncherry Aqua: Added a Water-element tackle attack, sending the enemy flying.

Many existing Pals have new skills, allowing players to experiment with new party setups.

Each Tower Boss now has a revamped tower with a unique visual design. Some Tower Bosses have also been given new motions and skills. New Tower Boss battles will require different tactics compared to previous encounters.

To improve overall game pacing, the time limit has been reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, and boss stats have been adjusted accordingly. 

*The unlock requirement for Hard Mode Tower Bosses has been changed to defeating the boss in the Azure Covenant Tower.

By aiming at an enemy and pressing the mouse wheel or clicking the right stick, you can issue a command for your Pal to "Attack that enemy!"

Pals in the wild have had new behaviors added to improve their combat capabilities.

New behaviors added include:

• Dog-type Pals can now bite when attacking.

• Horse-type Pals can now perform repeated charge attacks.

• Fast-moving Pals may step back or reposition themselves after attacking.

Battles with wild Pals now call for more flexible tactics.

The strongest Pal Tamers stand ready to face all challengers. Overcome fierce battles and claim glory with your own hands! A new Arena rank awaits!

To improve game pacing, Arena match duration has been reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes, and enemy stats have been adjusted accordingly.

• Adjusted party Pals so they more easily target enemies near the player.

• Adjusted party Pals to move quickly only during combat.

• Reworked armor durability reduction formulas, making armor less prone to breaking.

• Captured NPCs can now use their original weapons.

• When afflicted with the Burn or Muddy status effects, performing a dodge roll will now shorten their duration.

• Bow drawing can now be cancelled with the reload button.

• Added a feature allowing players to change the type of arrows used by compatible weapons, enabling the use of fire and poison arrows. As a result, dedicated fire and poison arrow weapons have been removed from the Technology tree. (Even if you possess their schematics, they can no longer be crafted.) 

• Adjusted the hit detection of swords, katanas, and beam swords.

• Extended the charge time of some Active Skills to make them easier to dodge.

• Adjusted the hit count of certain skills.

A new type of glider, the Wing Pack, has been added!

The Wing Pack consumes Wing Cells to allow for highly free flight without relying on a Pal. It greatly expands your options for exploration, combat, and base movement.

A new gathering tool, the Plasma Multicutter, has been added!

In addition to gathering ore and wood, it can be used while riding, making resource gathering during exploration smoother and more convenient.

13 new weapons have been added.

We've improved base Pal behavior for returning to work, hauling, and storage tasks. 

Based on their Transport Work Suitability Level, Pals can now collect nearby dropped items of the same type from a wider area at once. 

Convenient storage interactions with chests, medicine cabinets, guild chests, and other containers have also been improved, making base item management smoother.

We've added category filters and a name search function to the Crafting UI. As the number of items increases, it is now easier to locate the desired crafting recipes. Craftable items are now prioritized in the display list.

Added a variety of new utility structures to support crafting, including the “Ancient Material Synthesizer,” which can produce various materials such as ore, and the “High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor,” which can extract crude oil even without an oil field.

• While within base range, players can now fast travel directly from the map. You can now travel between bases or to Great Eagle Statues without interacting with the Palbox at a base.

• Greatly increased the variety of visiting merchants. Depending on the player’s base level, 18 types of specialized visiting merchants (meat, vegetables, ammo, medicine, food, and Pal materials) can now appear.

• The “Repair Kit” previously required for repairing structures has been removed. Pals with Handiwork Work Suitability can now repair structures without using items.

• Added new base facilities: the “Clinic” and “Ancient Clinic.” Depending on the Medicine Production Work Suitability level of assigned Pals, these facilities can reduce SAN depletion and suppress illness among base Pals.

• Added the higher-tier "High-Quality Monitoring Stand" and "Ancient Monitoring Stand." These structures retain all the functionality of a standard Monitoring Stand while also reducing SAN depletion for base Pals.

• Fixed assignments can now be set from the Monitoring Stand even for sleeping Pals.

• The time required for ranch item production can now be adjusted in World Settings.

• Added a Work Speed multiplier setting to World Settings.

• In line with the refinement of Work Suitability levels, ranch output has been increased, and the default production interval has been adjusted.

• The light color of certain lighting structures can now be changed.

• When shopping within a base, gold stored in base chests will now also be taken into account.

• Improved certain facilities (such as the Surgery Table) so they can access items stored in base chests.

• A new option has been added to chests so players can auto-deposit matching items without opening the chest.

• The chest quick-storage feature now respects exclusion lists set for bulk storage.

• Enemy bases will no longer spawn too close to player bases.

• Chests can now be named.

• Improved visibility of chest filter settings.

• It is now always displayed when an item filter is active.

• Improved the appearance of the Palbox when constructed.

• When placing a Pal Disassembly Conveyor, you can now preview the position of its item output.

• Facility effects can now be viewed in the building menu and Technology list.

• Added an alert when no Pal at the base meets the required Work Suitability for a facility.

• Improved log messages for insufficient Work Suitability during fixed assignments.

• Improved the error message displayed when a fixed assignment fails while summoning party Pals.

• Party Pals with appropriate Work Suitability will now automatically assist with trees, rocks, and other resources damaged by the player.

• Higher-tier pickaxes and axes now increase the amount of resources gathered.

• Fixed an issue where ranch assignments could be reset after logging in.

• Fixed or reduced issues causing flickering, gaps, clipping, and shadow rendering errors when building with combined structures (walls, roofs, foundations, etc.). 

• With the addition of Aquatic Construction, the boundaries of the playable area along the outer edge of Palpagos Island have been adjusted.

Note: If you continue using save data from v0.7.3 or earlier, you may spawn outside the updated boundary. If this occurs, please use “Emergency Escape” from the Options menu. 

The base raid system has been significantly overhauled and reworked into a wave-based system. Enemies will now attack in successive waves, and players will receive rewards upon defeating all waves. As a result, base defense structures and the placement of Work Pals are now more important than ever. This has transformed base defense into a more engaging feature that goes beyond simply surviving attacks.

• The types of enemies that raid your base now vary depending on the environment.

• For example, the Free Pal Alliance will attack in Crescent Moon Shore, while the Eternal Pyre Faction will raid Mount Obsidian. 

• Defense structures will now operate without consuming ammo.

• Added countermeasures for situations where raiding enemies become stuck.

• The level of raiding enemies now automatically scales according to the level of Work Pals assigned to the deployed base.

• If a Gold Coin Assembly Line is present at the base, a dedicated raid event will now occur.

A negotiator who can cancel raids will now visit your base. By paying gold coins, you can prevent an upcoming raid from occurring. You can now choose whether to stand and fight or resolve the situation with money, depending on your base’s circumstances.
