You can craft Palworld Pal Spheres by combining special Paldium Fragments with Wood and Stone, letting you catch Pals for your collection. While Wood and Stone are abundant in Palworld, finding Paldium Fragments is a bit trickier. Given that catching Pals with Pal Spheres to then add to your team or workforce is basically the point of the game, finding Paldium is therefore incredibly important. To help you out, I've explained how to craft Pal Spheres in Palworld, or even just find them out in the wild, and where to gather the necessary Paldium Fragments.

How to craft or find Pal Spheres in Palworld

Palworld Pal Spheres and Paldium

Pal Spheres are usually crafted at a workbench, but players can also find them as random drops in the world, literally lying on the ground, as well as in the random chests that appear throughout the game.

To craft a Pal Sphere, you need to build a Primitive Workbench, reach level two, and unlock the Pal Sphere in the technology tree of the menu. At this point, when interacting with the workbench, you'll be able to craft a Pal Sphere using the following materials:

  • 1x Paldium Fragment
  • 3x Wood
  • 3x Stone

Wood and stone are found easily enough by punching rocks and trees, but Paldium Fragments are a bit harder to find. They're used in more than just the Spheres as well, so here's how to ensure you can get them.

Paldium Fragments are found mainly through damaging the blue Paldium rocks shown in the image above, which spawn randomly throughout the world but seem most common near rivers and flowing water. You can damage these with your bare hands, but it's much quicker to use a pickaxe. There are also larger versions of these rocks to be found, especially in Dungeon Caves.

Players also have a chance to find Paldium Fragments while mining regular rocks in the same way, though it's a low chance, and like Pal Spheres, you can find Fragments occasionally lying around in the world (look for the blue tint and sparkle in the grass).

Finally, once you build a Crusher at your Base, you can put regular Stone inside to turn them in Paldium, though the rate isn't one-to-one - you'll need five Stone for every Paldium Fragment generated. Still, Stone is very easy to obtain, and you'll likely have a surplus after a while that's better spent converted into the rare material.

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
