How to Unlock More Accessory Slots in Palworld

After all, accessories are often capable of not only customizing our characters but also strengthening them and giving them new abilities and skills. In line with this thought, today, we’re exploring the opportunities for upgrading and opening up new accessory slots for your character.
How to Unlock More Accessory Slots in Palworld

Make Your Own Palworld Server
At the start of the game in Palworld, you start out with only two accessory slots, and this can quickly become annoying as you stumble across more and more exciting accessories that could really help your game progression! However, while this can be a frustrating position to find yourself in, it doesn’t have to be the end of the world; after all, it’s absolutely possible to unlock more accessory slots in Palworld. While unlocking new accessory slots is possible (and actually pretty easy), there’s a good chance you won’t know how to go about this - so we’ll be covering it today. Indeed, unlocking more accessory slots require you to purchase an item that can only be purchased from one trader (and a rather obscure one at that): the Medal Merchant. Indeed, Medal Merchants in Palworld are unique from normal vendors in that they don’t simply accept normal currency; instead, they want a very specific type of payment: Dog Coins. Fortunately, while they can’t be purchased directly, stocking up on these coins is relatively straightforward, with several notable ways to collect Dog Coins in Palworld, including:
Defeating Mimogs (bear in mind, these nippy creatures are incredibly shy and scared, so they’re likely to run away when you try to attack them!)
From enemy NPC corpses after defeating them
From scrap pikes and treasure chests throughout the lands
Collecting Dog Coins

In total, you will need to collect 100 Dog Coins to purchase a single Accessory Box from a Medal Merchant. So, not an unrealistic number, but certainly not none either! Following this thought, keep an eye out for any Dog Coins during your travels; you’ll need two if you want to purchase one of each Accessory Box. Of course, collecting up 100 Dog Coins can be somewhat time consuming. In this scenario, it may be worth exploring the lands of Palworld with a friend or two to make your journey a little easier. And, with a private Palworld server, you’ll also enjoy a lag-free gaming experience with 24/7 uptime - making it easier to quickly defeat Mimogs before they run away!
It’s worth noting here that Accessory Boxes are a one time purchase only, and there are only two Accessory Boxes available. Given this thought, you can only increase your maximum accessories to four (from an initial two). Still, four accessory slots aren’t a bad number, and this should give you plenty of scope to experiment with different load-outs of accessories in your game. Don’t worry too much when buying Accessory boxes if your inventory’s already a little tight; they actually don’t take up any inventory space. This is especially handy if you’ve been hanging onto an accessory that’s been hogging an inventory slot, as you’ll be able to equip it to an accessory slot instead - freeing up a little more room for other collectables while exploring.
