By now you've seen that certain Pals can wield guns, and so can your player character. But how do you go from stone spears to assault rifles? The answer lies with High Quality Pal Oil, a resource necessary for taking the leap from crossbows to muskets, and later it's used to craft Polymer for more advanced weapons. You won't find it until the mid game, however, and even then, it can be tricky to find the Pals that drop it.
Also curious about which Pals drop other resources in Palworld? Our comprehensive list details all Palworld items and how to get them. This includes High Quality Pal Oil but also rarer items like technical manuals.
Where to find Palworld High Quality Pal Oil
Currently, there are only two ways to obtain High Quality Pal Oil. The first, and most straightforward way, is to defeat Pals that drop it. The following Pals do so:
- Dumud
- Digtoise
- Elphidran
- Flambelle
- Grintale
- Mammorest
- Quivern
- Relaxaurus
- Woolipop
Unlike other resources, there's no rhyme or reason to which Pals drop the oil. Merchants in the mid-game also sell High Quality Pal Oil, but you'll likely stumble upon Pals that drop it long before you reach them.
Where to farm High Quality Pal Oil
The best Pal to farm for High Quality Pal Oil is Dumud.
While running around murdering Pals left and right can be fun (we guess?), you need a consistent way to farm High Quality Pal Oil, and for that, we've found the way way is to throw a few Dumud into a farm and let them do their thing. With two of these going at once, you'll have more High Quality Pal Oil than you could use before long.
The best place to find Dumud is near the Anubis Dunes fast travel point - the sandy area bolted onto the side of an island, central on the map. Catch a couple of these and kill the rest for a quick boost in oil.
You won't need to worry about finding High Quality Pal Oil until you hit level 21, which you can use to make a musket, increasing your damage dramatically. Once you reach that point, you'll want to see a list of the best Palworld guns. But maybe shooting all these cute critters is turning you off the game; if that's the case, there are quite a few other Pokemon-like games you can play on PC.
