How to play Palworld, Palworld guide for newbies

Even though it has a simple gameplay and is a familiar plowing game, we still don't know what to do when participating in Palworld. Palworld is a game that is making waves on Steam and sold 1 million copies in just a few days of launch.

You will have to collect your Pokemon-like friends and train them to fight alongside you, or at least force them to help you build a base, create survival tools.

To get the best start, you should check out TipsMake's guide for those new to Palworld below.

Assign work to Pal

One of the important things that sets Palword apart from other animal catching games is its focus on crafting and survival elements. You can assign jobs to Pals (animals that you catch) so they can mine, grow crops and collect more materials. This is a very useful tool but can be limited in the early stages of the game. To increase your base building ability, you need Palbox.

Once you have the Palbox, you can put 480 Pal inside, of course you will have to upgrade your base later. This can be done through the Quest prompt at the Palbox, to unlock more Pals for them to operate in their base.

When you have an empty slot for Pals, simply drag and drop them from the Inbox to the "Pals at base" section of the menu. This will help you add Pals to your base, they are intelligent creatures and will often automatically perform tasks if they are commanded.

To manually assign a job to a Friend, walk towards them and pick them up . Then, direct them to the activity you want them to focus on.

Priority is given to making clothes

Palworld's survival mechanism is quite realistic in that if you go out at night without preparing clothes or a flashlight, your character will gradually freeze to death.

Torches are something you can make quite easily and they also play an important role in your survival. But you should prioritize setting aside an amount of fabric to make clothes first. To do so, you need to defeat Lamball to get wool, or you take them to the Farm in your base to farm for Wool.

From the wool obtained from Lamball, you can turn it into Fabric and turn the fabric into clothes using the workbench. As you level up, you'll unlock cooking and clothing recipes that will help you withstand the harsh climate and elements around you.

Use Tech Points carefully

As you level up in Palworld, you accumulate Tech points. From the main menu, select the Technology tab, here you will have recipes for many types of Pal's equipment, items and skills.

Usually, new players will use up all their technology points immediately after accumulating a large amount of points. But the advice is that you should check Palbox again before deciding to add Technology points.

Palbox's missions often require players to build many buildings for their base. That means you first need to add Technology points to unlock the manufacturing parameters. Usually, when performing a mission, you will have to reach the level required by the system before touching other factors. So don't add technology points yet.

If you are in dire need of tech points, each time you discover new maps, you will also receive waypoints.

Pay attention to the health bar

When hunting new Pals, always remember that the lower their health bar, the easier it will be for you to catch them. You can also increase your success rate at catching them if you hide behind a Pal.

While hunting Pals, you can also lose track of your Pal's health bar, especially if you have many other Pals participating in capturing new Pals. If Pal runs out of health bars, you will not be able to catch him because he will be unconscious at that time. Therefore, pay attention to the health bar when catching new Pals, especially when you have Pals with you because they will automatically attack them.

Grow berries

At the beginning of the game, you will need something to eat, and berries are something you will use a lot when you first enter the game. You will see that the berries will regrow the bush after a few days.

You can also unlock Berry Plantations and grow your own plants, in which red berries are also a part of the food that you can easily grow to keep yourself and your friends well fed.

Create a parachute

The process of moving in Palworld will probably be more convenient if you have a parachute in hand. The terrain in the game in many places has many rocky cliffs and ice mountains. If you just walk, it will take you a lot of time.

Having a parachute will help you move faster, you can craft one when you unlock that crafting recipe at level 5. Just remember that you can fly with a parachute if you have enough stamina left. , if your stamina runs out, you will fall to the ground.

Spawn

If you accidentally die in Palworld, you will drop all your items including the items you have in your inventory. Don't worry though, you'll have a small red cross to mark where you died and you'll be able to get your loot back.

After you die, you will see a map appear and be asked to choose a place to revive in the game. Note that, wherever you choose to revive, you will not have anything on you. If you revive near the place where you just died, you may have to face cold and hunger if it's dark.

So, you can revive at your base, get all the necessary clothes, items or at least a torch. Then use Palbox to teleport to the place where you just died.

Mounts

There are some Pals that can be used as mounts to help you increase your movement speed. There are mounts that run on land, sea and in the air, but you must first capture the Pal and then unlock the toolmaking parameters in the Tech Points menu that will enable you to ride them, so to speak. You have to go through many steps to be able to ride Pal in the game.

However, this is worth doing because your stamina when starting out in Palworld is not worth much. The fastest ground mount you can find in the early game is Direhowl, but there are quite a few other Pals you can find as mounts. For new players, Direhowl is quite difficult to catch because they often travel in groups, but if you catch one, this will be a mount that will help you a lot.

Home raids

Even when you are offline, sometimes you will have enemy NPCs raid your home. Luckily, you can build a warning system at your base to deal with related problems effectively.

It is recommended that you have an early alarm, because you can order your Pals to protect your base from raids. Usually if there is an alarm system, Pal will take care of that for you.

Element

You will have active elements in Palworld just like in many other titles. Every element in the game can be countered by another element, for example Fire is countered by Water. This means that if you fight a Pal, it's best to choose a Pal that has the ability to counteract that Pal.

Some other advice

Along with some of the tips above, you can follow some advice to stay out of trouble.

1. Spheres: Also known as Pal catch balls, you will have a total of 6 different types of Spheres and increase in quality according to color. You can craft these after unlocking them in the Technology tab. Prioritize these as they will immediately increase your odds of catching rare Pals.
2. Shield: NKhien is an item that helps you protect yourself better, in addition you can regenerate shields and is well worth your investment.
3. Small bag of food: Next to the Technology panel, you will see a purple Ancient Technology panel containing more recipes. This part is well worth the player's investment as it will automatically feed you and your Pal party from your food inventory. This is an upgrade that will save you effort compared to doing it manually.

1. Check for stranded Pals: At your base, you may receive a notification that your Pals are hungry even though you previously provided a full Food Box Supply. This is usually because they are stuck in one part of the base. The easiest way to transfer that Pal.
2. Keep an eye on your SAN: SAN is a tool to monitor your Pal's stress level at work, if your SAN is unstable they will lose motivation and may stop working. Fortunately, you have tools to help your Pal regain SAN levels, such as Hot Springs.
