Getting Wool in Palworld
Wool is among the resources in Palworld that need to be refined into other materials before they can be used. Players can acquire cloth, an essential material for crafting important equipment like Cloth Armor and Glider from them. We all know how necessary gliders are at the beginning stages to negate fall damage. On the other hand, Cloth Armor is just as useful since it can help players survive the Palworld cold and hot weather. These reasons make farming for wool early on in the game a must, but we've got you covered. Here is how you can get this resource in Palworld.
How to Get Wool in Palworld
While wools are essential in the game, there is no perfect formula for acquiring them early on, so you need to be smart for it. From our experience playing Palworld, we found that you can get wool from three sources. These include;
- Find pals that drop the wool and kill them
- Building a Ranch
- Purchasing them from wandering merchants
These options depend on your progression in the game. For instance, The first method is mostly effective for beginners since it is the easiest option to obtain them. The last two methods may not be available to players who are at certain phases in the game (especially first-time gamers.) Regardless, we will be dissecting each of the options so you can decide which one to follow.
Killing Pals for Wool
Some pal tamers can consider this the cruelest method since it involves killing a pal for this resource. However, it could just be your best bet as a beginner, so you have no choice. In the game, some pals have a higher chance of giving you wool than other pals. These pals may not likely drop the item at the first kill, so you should consider killing a few of them. The pals you should target for wool are;
If you're lucky, you will find these pals early and get a few wools out of them to craft cloth, which you can use to craft a new outfit or a parachute. However, the most common one to find is Lamball because most of them are at the first locations of the game, and they are not hard to recognize, especially during the day. You can find them on the lawns, and killing them is not a challenge, even for beginners.
As we mentioned earlier, this method is the easiest, but it cannot guarantee a steady flow of wool into your inventory, so you can consider the other methods in this guide.
Building a Wool Ranch
For players who have progressed further into the game, this option is the best since it allows them to get a steady supply of wool into their inventory. As the name suggests, it involves setting up a Ranch at your base for the production of wool. Players can unlock the Ranch at Technology Level Five. This structure is the most basic structure players can build at the level where they are expanding their Palbox Base.
Building it requires certain materials and enough room in your base since it takes up a lot of space. Also, you need your pals to contribute to making it less tedious. The materials you need for building a ranch include;
- 50x Wood
- 50x Stone
- 50x Fiber
After building, you must place Lamballs in the Ranch to get wool. You may later need to pick up this resource whenever it drops within the limits of your base. This option is very reliable, and after a while, you may have more wool than needed, and some players may consider dismantling the Ranch. This is because wool is not used much at the later stages of the game, and the proceeds from a single Ranch are enough to keep a handle on your storage.
However, the downside of this method is that it is impossible for beginners, so if you just started the game and need this resource to craft a cloth, then you should hunt Lamballs on the lawns. Otherwise, if you've progressed a bit further into the game and you want to acquire this resource, then you should consider the last method.
Purchasing from a Wandering Merchant
Similar to most survival games, Palworld does not explain all the details you need to improve in the game or acquire resources like wool. We found this method accidentally, and it is viable for players who don't want to go through the stress of building a ranch or are unlucky enough to miss Lamballs at the beginning stages. This method depends on luck and the chances of meeting a Wandering Merchant during your exploration. When you encounter these NPCs that wander around the world selling and buying different items, you may find wool among their items.
However, players may find this method not as effective as the first two methods since the chances of finding a Wandering Merchant are low, and it may take them time to scour the entire map before seeing one.
FAQs
You can get wool in Palworld using three methods. These options include finding pals that drop the item and kill them, building a Ranch and placing a Lamball on it, and purchasing this material from Wandering Merchants. The easiest method of the three is finding and killing a pal early on in the game.
After gathering wool, you can craft clothes by bringing them to the Workbench. However, you unlock clothes at level 3 of the Technology tree, which means you have to wait until that stage before you can craft the item.
Building a Ranch in Palworld is easy, but you have to reach Technology Level 5 first. Once you're at this level, certain materials are needed to build the structure on your base. These materials are 50x stone, 50x wood, and 50x fiber.
Conclusion
Getting wool in Palworld is easy, especially at the early stages, when you have to kill a few Lamballs to get it. However, as you progress further into the game, consider building a Ranch to ensure a steady supply of this resource for your base. The downside is that the Ranch occupies space in your base, and your storage may be filled with this item. After collecting wool and crafting cloth, you may want to know how to craft other items like parachutes and Gliders. Check out our blog for similar topics to know more.
