Beginner's Guide

Palworld drops you on a beach with nothing. Here's the fast track from naked survivor to a working base with a team of Pals.

First hours

Catch a starter or two
Craft Pal Spheres and weaken wild Pals before throwing — lower HP means a higher catch rate. Lamball, Cattiva and Chikipi are easy first tames.
Build your first base
Place a Palbox to claim territory, then a campfire, crafting bench and a few beds. Assign Pals to the base to auto-work.
Match Pals to jobs
Every Pal has Work Suitabilities (Kindling, Watering, Handiwork…). Assign the right Pals so your base gathers, crafts and cooks on its own.
Climb the tech tree
Spend Technology Points on level-up to unlock gear, a mount, better spheres and base structures.
Prep, then hit the first tower
Gear up, bring a Ground-type Pal and ranged weapons, then challenge Zoe & Grizzbolt at the Rayne tower.

Collect Lifmunk Effigies out in the world — turn them in to permanently raise your capture rate.
Keep Pals fed: a full Feed Box and a hot spring keep base workers happy and productive.
Chain-catch the same species to fill the Paldeck bonus and earn stat boosts.
Carry a Pal with Transporting so hauled loot lands in your chests automatically.
Mounts trivialise travel — unlock a flyer or a fast ground mount as soon as you can.
