How to Get Bones in Palworld
Bones are among the few resources in Palworld that players cannot farm at their base, which means that these players will eventually need to go out in the fields to hunt for them. However, this should not be new since it is a survival game and players engage in farming and hunting from its first stages.
Well, we won't leave you hanging. This guide is for pal tamers who are looking to hunt down bones one way or another in the game. We covered everything from the best methods for collecting Bones in Palworld to how to use them effectively.
Best Ways to Get Bones in Palworld
Since there is no automatic way to farm bones in the Palworld, we found two major means of hunting and collecting bones in the game. These options include;
- Killing pal and collecting bones as the drop
- Buying bones from wandering merchants
Before players can start acquiring bones in the game, they must've reached a certain level and fully equipped their gear. This means that they’ve collected several currencies, weapons, crafted armor, and equipment. Executing these methods will not be challenging, but we still need to explain them further before you go hunting.
Collecting Bones from Pals
Like most resources in Palworld, you may need to kill or catch one or two pals before acquiring bones. However, not all pals are likely to drop the item, but there is a 50% chance you might get it from a neutral type of pal. These pals and their element types include;
- Vixy (Neutral)
- Cawgnito (Dark)
- Rushoar (Ground)
- Gorirat (Neutral)
- Vanwyrm Cryst (Ice/Dark)
- Anubis (Ground)
- Maraith (Dark)
- Loupmoon (Dark)
- Vanwyrm (Fire/Dark)
- Bushi (Fire)
- Verdash (Grass)
If you're just starting the process of hunting for these pals, then it's best to go for Vixy and Rushoar, especially since they are the ones players encounter early on in the game. You can find Vixy at the Desolate Church fast travel marker, while Rushoar can be found in several rocky places and amidst cliffs. These pals are not challenging because they're not high-level pals, and if you catch them with your Pal Spheres, they will make a fine addition to your base.
We recommend catching Vixy and placing her in your Paldeck before hunting for the other pals on the list. Other pals like Cawgnito, Vanwyrm, Loupmoon, and Bushi can be caught later on in the game when you are already fully geared.
Buying Bones from Wandering Merchant
You can also obtain bones by purchasing them with Gold, the in-game currency that players can earn. The catch, however, is that there are not so many of these merchants. However, If you need bones right now, and do not have the luxury of bearing with the tedious chore of farming bones from Pals, and also do not mind spending some money, you can purchase from the Wandering Merchants.
A Wandering Merchant is a non-playable character (NPC) that does not stay put in one location, and you can encounter it while on the move or idling at the base. Most of the time, this merchant breaks the whole concept of balance as he runs around in a bright red outfit and sells a huge array of different goods, including bones. When we played the game, we discovered that these bones cost 100 Gold, which is not that high considering the scarcity of these items.
Whenever you encounter a Wandering Merchant, and you happen to be lucky enough to have a reasonable amount of currency, then go ahead and buy some bones and other stuff he is selling, some of which are really unusual. Besides the traveling ones who wander the entire map, there are stationary ones located at each of the following places:
- Small Settlement (Main Island)
- Fisherman's Point (Obsidian Mountain)
- Duneshelter (Dessicated Desert)
How to Use Bones in Palworld
Players will notice that bones are not useful in the first stages of the game, especially when you’re building your base. As you progress further in the game to level 12, bones become very vital to your pal's survival. These materials are usually in high demand because they are used to produce various necessary items in the game, including cement and medicinal items for pals.
Although bones play a minor role in many recipes, you must learn such recipes, as they are necessary to cure some ailments of your Pals, such as depression or fractures. However, you will require bones as a part of the construction recipes to upgrade certain structures within your base. Bones enter the stage as one of the main materials needed for the creation of Cement, which in turn is needed to build these structures and even other utensils that become available with progression.
Finally, you may also need bones with the Mega Glider, which is the advanced model of the Normal Parachute that permits you to maneuver in the air and break the risky plunge to the floor.
FAQs
Players will have to get to level 12 before they discover the usefulness of bones in Palworld. At this level, they can easily get bones since they must have geared up. However, the easiest way to get bones is by hunting for pals, such as Vixy and Rushoar. These low-level pals are not difficult to kill.
In Palworld the chances of getting bones from neutral type pals are high. However they are not the only species that can drop bones as Dark pals can also provide a reasonable amount of bones. Some pals that can drop bones include Vixy, Cawgnito, Rushoar and Vanwyrm.
Some of the best locations for farming bones include the regions surrounding the Small Settlement, the Sea Breeze Archipelago, and Mount Obsidian. These areas are flooded with pals that have a high drop rate for bones.
Conclusion
Bones are not required in the early stages of Palworld, but as you progress further, you will need this resource to run your base smoothly. We recommend killing or capturing a few pals like Vixy and Rushoar early on so you can get an inventory of bones. After collecting bones, you may need to learn how to make other resources, such as a Mega Glider. Check our blog section for a guide.
