How to upgrade Palworld base level

Tips on how to upgrade your Palworld base level, as well as the requirements for each rank and the rewards you get for reaching milestones.

How do you upgrade the Palworld base level? One of the first things you need to do when starting a new campaign is set up your operations base. However, you soon get an objective to upgrade your base level, allowing you to eventually make new bases elsewhere and put additional Pals to work.

So, if you want a near-endless supply of wood, stone, and all other materials in Palworld, you must meet the level requirement to bring in new Palworld Pals. Unfortunately, the list is only found in one place in the open-world game: the Palbox you build at the base. Not only do we tell you how to upgrade your base level, but we also have a list of each of the required items needed per rank.

How to upgrade Palworld base level

To upgrade your Palworld base, you must meet the requirements for each level set at the Palbox. You first need to craft one, then access the missions tab to see a list of objectives. Once complete, you can select the Base Upgrade to increase the base’s level.
