One Palworld enthusiast recently showcased a remarkable ore haul achieved through the newly introduced ore site in the game's latest update. With Palworld still in early access, Pocketpair continues to roll out frequent updates, constantly enriching the gameplay experience.
Ores play a pivotal role in Palworld's crafting ecosystem. Prior to the update, players primarily gathered ores by locating scattered ore rocks throughout the game world. Some even strategically positioned their bases near these rocks to ensure a steady ore supply, as the rocks respawn every 24 in-game hours.
Essential for crafting various types of ingots in Furnaces, including Regular Ingot, Refined Ingot, and Pal Metal Ingot, ores now receive a substantial gameplay enhancement in the form of the new Ore Mining Site. This addition, featured in the recent Palworld patch v0.2.0.6, enables select Pals to utilize their Mining skills for ore extraction directly from their base, fulfilling a longstanding community request. With existing structures like the Stone Pit and Logging Site streamlining Stone and Wood gathering, players eagerly embraced the Ore Mining Sites, optimizing production by assigning their most proficient Pals. Noteworthy is a Reddit user, mcduubly, who flaunted an impressive collection of over 150k ores in their Refined Metal Chest.
The introduction of the Ore Mining Sites garnered widespread acclaim within the community, hailed as a game-changing decision by Pocketpair. Another Reddit user, silver-potato-kebab-, shared a video exhibiting two Ore Mining Sites yielding approximately 10 ores per second. To unlock these sites, players must attain level 15 and utilize 2 Ancient Technology Points.
Palworld: Optimal Pals for Ore Mining
Enhancing ore production efficiency involves leveraging Pals with advanced Mining capabilities. The video showcased the utilization of Anubis and Digtoise; however, the standout mining Pals remain Astegon and Blazamut.
Astegon, a Dark/Dragon Element Pal, resides in the Destroyed Mineshaft within the volcanic region's southwest area. Similarly, Blazamut, a Fire Element Pal, can be found in the Scorching Mineshaft southwest of the Foot of the Volcano teleportation point.
