Pal Spheres in Palworld Pal Spheres are crafted with Paldium Fragments, a special resource that's essential to the early game and beyond, as without Fragments and Spheres you won't be able to catch Pals to add to your team. This is a core mechanic, and while it's possible to find Pal Spheres in the world randomly, it's essential that you also find out how they're made so that you can have easy access to them whenever you want. The last thing you want after all is to come across a rare Pal in the wild and realise you've missed the chance to catch it because you don't have any Pal Spheres on you to throw at it!
How to craft Pal Spheres in Palworld
Pal Spheres are usually crafted at a workbench, but players can also find them as random drops in Palworld, 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 do the following:
- Build a Primitive Workbench.
- Reach Level 2.
- Unlock the Pal Sphere in the Technology Tree.
- Head to the Workbench and craft a Pal Sphere with the following: Paldium 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 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.
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.
