Palworld Store

Palworld, an action-adventure game combining open-world elements, monster taming, survival building, and shooting, officially released its 1.0 full version on July 10th after two and a half years in Early Access.

The game's core revolves around creatures called Pals, and players must survive in an unknown world. Pals are not only your combat partners but also your free labor force. Based on their attributes (such as watering, planting, power generation, mining, etc.), players can allocate them to their base for automated production.

Therefore, owning Pals is fundamental to playing the game well. In the game, you can capture Pals in the wild or choose to breed them, but most players choose Breeding. 

Why Choose Breeding?

Creating the Perfect Skills

Wild Pals possess completely randomized Passive Skills, often including negative affixes such as Arrogance and Masochism.

However, through Breeding, you can perfectly pass on excellent Passive Skills scattered across different Pals, such as Legend (Attack +20%, Defense +20%, Movement Speed +15%), Musclehead (Attack +30%, Work Speed -50%), and Ferocious (Attack +20%), to Pal pups, creating a perfect Pal.

Easier Early Game

Many Wild Pals (such as Anubis, Lyleen, and Astegon) are high-level bosses (level 40+), making them difficult for players to capture in the early stages of Palworld 1.0 due to insufficient strength.

However, using the breeding system's formula, you can hatch the highly sought-after Anubis around level 20 using easily captured Robinquill and Vanwyrm.

Attribute Customization

Wild Pals have uncertain attributes, and their attribute data is not excellent. Therefore, you can Breeding pure working Pals with profession attributes, increasing their work speed by at least 70%. With the addition of Workaholic and Swift, Pals will tirelessly and relentlessly build a base for you.

Breeding Guide

Breeding System

Pals have a hidden Breeding Power stat; the offspring's fertility is the average of the parents' combined fertility. Therefore, if you want to breed powerful Pals, you need to address the issue at its source - that is, you must first find two powerful Pal parents.

The system calculates the average fertility of the parents and searches Palworld database for Pal with the closest value to that average as the hatchling result. If the average value is exactly in the middle of the two Pals, the one with the earlier number is usually chosen.

Secondly, the skills that the pup Pals can acquire are randomly selected from the parents' skill pool, and additional passive skills are randomly drawn based on RNG.

It's worth noting that mating Pals of the same species will guarantee offspring of the same species; some special legendary Pokémon can only be hatched through mating of the same species.

Preparation Process

Breeding Farm

To begin breeding, you need to reach a specific level and build a Breeding Farm. To unlock Breeding Farm, players need to reach level 19 in Palworld 1.0 and construct it using 100 wood, 20 stone, and 50 fiber. In the 1.0 official version, it can be upgraded to a multi-level or automated farm, increasing the efficiency of simultaneous breeding of multiple groups.

Breeding Lock

Once successfully built, players can place the two Pals they want to breed into Breeding Farm, and a breeding indicator will appear on the screen.

Cake Making

Since breeding requires cakes, the cooking station unlocked at level 17 comes in handy. Each egg produced during breeding requires one cake. Making a cake requires 5 times the flour, 8 cranberries, 7 times the milk, 8 eggs, and 2 parts honey, resulting in one regular cake.

If your breeding goal is to breed higher-tier Pals, you can also choose to make advanced cakes, such as Mushroom Cake, Vegetable Cake, Luxury Vegetable Cake, and special cakes. These advanced cakes provide powerful buffs to Pal pups.

Egg Hatching

Eggs of different sizes require different incubation times. While you can't determine the breed or Passive Skills after harvesting breeding eggs, you can guess their quality based on their size.

First, you need to build an incubator to ensure successful hatching. Construct a closed room of at least 2x2 square meters using stone or wood, complete with a floor, walls, and roof.

Second, you need to place the eggs in an Egg Incubator. Egg Incubator is the core facility in Palworld for converting eggs found through breeding or in the wild into Pals.

Egg Incubator is an ancient technology that requires Ancient Technology Points to unlock.

A regular Egg Incubator unlocks at level 7, while the electric Egg Incubator is a late-game technology unlocked in Palworld. It automatically adjusts the temperature to optimize Pal hatchlings' comfort, making it a powerful tool for breeding high-level Pals later in the game.

Egg Hatching Companions

Besides the type of Egg Incubator affecting the eggs, you can also add companions next to the eggs to assist you.

Beegarde helps Pals lay eggs faster. Placing a Beegarde in your base increases egg-laying speed by 20% at level 1 and by 50% at level 5.

Grintale increases your chance of getting two eggs at once.

Bronncherry and Broncherry Aqua increase your chance of hatching Alpha Pals.

Although Palworld 1.0 description states that effects from different species do not stack, testing shows that they do. Therefore, slightly increasing the level of these Pals companions will result in higher quality Pal pups.

Implants

Generally, the above breeding process is complete in the early stages of Palworld.

However, in the later stages, if you want to further ensure that all Pal pups have excellent passive skills, you can hatch eggs placed in Egg Incubator, place Pal pups on Pal Surgery Table, and ensure you have the corresponding passive skill items in your inventory.

Replace the randomly generated negative skills on the cub with the skills you want, or simply fill its empty skill slots to artificially create a perfect set of four Passive Skills.

Players should note that this procedure is irreversible; the implanted skills will permanently override Pals' original Passive Skills.

Of course, if you find the above process too cumbersome, or don't have enough resources to breed a perfect cub, you can buy Palworld Pals from EZG.com, which will save you more time and effort, allowing you to expand your territory faster.

In short, Pals are more than just virtual game creatures to players; you participate in their entire growth process and spend every day with them, making your connection with Pals inseparable. Hopefully, this breeding guide will help you obtain your ideal Pal companion.
