Apart from helping out at yourPalworldbase or fighting directly with their abilities, some Pals also offer different kinds of utility via Pal Gear upgrades. These crafted key items unlock special Partner Skills that give players an extra edge in combat or improve their quality of life as they explore the archipelago.
The Pal Gear Workbench is an essential part of any base, thanks to the upgrades it provides. If you want tohave a smoother time inPalworld,you’ll want to craft the following Pal Gear as soon as possible.
Best Pal Gear To Craft First
Pal Gear is crafted just like any other item in the game. Collect raw crafting materials, bring them back to your base, andhave a Pal make the gear for youon a Pal Gear Workbench while you do other things. Thankfully, you only need to craft a piece of Pal Gear once. After that, you’ll be able to use it on all Pals any number of times. Pal Gear blueprints must first be discovered by capturing a specific Pal, then unlocked at the tech tree by spending Tech Points.
Rushoar Saddle
TheRushoar Saddleis arguably the best quality-of-life upgrade you can get when it comes to mining. As the name implies, this Pal Gear upgrade lets you ride on a Rushoar, which you can then use to smash rock deposits and ore veins extremely quickly. As long as you have a Rushoar in your party, you’ll never have to use a pickaxe again, saving you the hassle and cost ofhaving to repair your tools.
Mount Saddles
Speaking of saddles, you’ll want to craft one for your mount of choice. Mounted traversal speeds do differ from Pal to Pal, and you won’t be able to ride them until you research and build their respective saddles. Some of the best mounts to use in the game are:
Mossanda’s Grenade Launcher
While you’re able to craft your own guns and ammo, there are some Pals who can either be used as weapons or come with guns of their own. When it comes to base defense, you’ll want to have a Mossanda at the ready so you can use their grenade launcher in combat. Most invader waves arrive in tightly-clustered groups, and there’s no better way to deal with those than with explosives. Alternatively, you can useTocotoco’s Glovesif you don’t have a Mossanda yet or get aGrizzboltif you want a minigun instead of grenades.
Daedream’s Necklace
If you want to have more than one Pal out at a time, then you’ll want to makeDaedream’s Necklaceas soon as possible. Daedreams areone of the best early-game Palsthanks to this upgrade, which allows all Daedreams in your party to hover around you while having a different Pal out as your main companion. The Daedreams will attack whatever you’re attacking, significantly bumping up your DPS. Later on, you’re able to unlockDazzi’s Necklace,which does the same thing for Dazzis.
