Pal Spheres in Palworld are crafted with Paldium Fragments, Wood and Stone, the first of which are found through mining or through simple luck. Pal Spheres and Paldium Fragments are some of the most important items in the game, used to catch Pals and add them to your team or workforce, and there'll be no point in the whole game where both aren't important to you. With that in mind, I'll explain how to craft and find Pal Spheres in Palworld, as well as where to find the Paldium Fragments used to make them.
How to craft or find Pal Spheres in Palworld
Pal Spheres are usually crafted in Palworld by the player 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 themselves, players 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:
- Paldium Fragment x1
- Wood x3
- Stone x3
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.
How to get Paldium Fragments in Palworld
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's also larger versions of these rocks found around the game, 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, it's Stone's very easy to obtain, and you'll likely have excess after a while that's better spent converted into the rare material.
Once you have a Sphere ready to go, our guide on how to catch Pals in Palworld will help you actually put them to use and start building your team.
