The more Pal Spheres you use in Palworld, the better you’ll do and the more fun you’ll have.
This article will make you an expert in using Pal Spheres as you level up in Palworld.
You’ll learn how to be efficient at crafting and farming Pal Spheres. Plus, you’ll get some extra tips and tricks to turn Pal Spheres into one of your superpowers.
Level 1 – Collect or Buy Pal Spheres
To get a Pal Sphere at level 1, you need to find them or buy them.
You can find them in treasure chests, on the ground, or as a drop when you kill certain NPCs such as Syndicate Thugs.
To buy Pal Spheres, harvest 8 berry plants for each Pal Sphere you want. Sell your berries and berry seeds to your nearest merchant, such as the Wandering Merchant in the building down the hill from the Small Settlement fast travel statue. Use the proceeds from the berries and berry seeds to buy Pal Spheres for 120 gold each.
As you travel toward the Wandering Merchant, look for a good base while collecting Stone, Wood, and Paldium Fragments. These can be used at level 2 to craft Pal Spheres.
Naturally, you’ll also want to unlock and use all the level 1 technologies including the Primitive Workbench, which you’ll use to craft a Pal Sphere when you hit level 2.
Level 2 – Unlock the Palbox and Pal Sphere
At level 2, use the technology tree to unlock the Palbox and the blue Pal Sphere.
The Palbox is the beginning of your base building efforts because the placement of your Palbox establishes the location of your base. Choose a good spot for your Palbox, build it, and start collecting Pals.
The game rewards capturing Pals more than killing Pals. So, you’re going to want to make and use as many Pal Spheres as possible.
Use the Primitive Workbench to craft blue Pal Spheres out of 1 Paldium Fragment, 3 Wood, and 3 Stone per sphere.
The blue Pal Sphere is just the first of six spheres. It has a capture power of 7 and is typically best for capturing pals levels 1-9.
Level 5 – Unlock Ranch and Capture Vixys
Up through level 4, you can collect, buy, or craft Pal Spheres. At level 5, you can also begin to farm Pal Spheres.
To farm Pal Spheres, unlock the Ranch technology and build a Ranch on your base. Then, go out and capture some Vixys. Assign some Vixys to your new Ranch and they’ll soon be digging up blue Pal Spheres for you.
Vixys can be found along the red paths near the Desolate Church Fast Travel statue shown in the map here:
Level 6 – Unlock the Statue of Power
At level 6, you’ll want to unlock the Statue of Power technology and then build a Statue of Power on your base.
You’ll then use this statue to turn in any green Lifmunk Effigies that you find around Palworld. Finding these will get easier at level 15 when you can start flying a Nitewing pal.
(There are also Statues of Power in churches around Palworld, but it will be the most convenient for you to have a statue on your own base.)
Level 14 – Unlock the Mega Sphere and the Sphere Workbench
By level 14, your blue Pal Spheres need an upgrade to the green Mega Spheres. So, unlock the Mega Sphere in the tech tree as well as the Sphere Workbench.
The Sphere Workbench will let you craft blue Pal Spheres and green Mega Spheres now, as well as yellow Giga Spheres at level 20.
Build the Sphere Workbench and use it to craft green Mega Spheres out of 1 Paldium Fragment, 1 Ingot, 5 Wood, and 5 Stone per sphere.
This green Mega Sphere is the second of six spheres. It has a capture power of 12 and is typically best for capturing pals levels 10-19.
Level 15 – Capture a Nitewing and Unlock the Nitewing Saddle
Collecting green Lifmunk Effigies is about to get far easier. Use your new Mega Spheres to go catch yourself a Nitewing. This is a flying pal, which can be found in the following orange locations on the map:
Next, unlock the Nitewing Saddle, craft the saddle, and start riding your Nitewing.
Fly all around Palworld collecting Lifmunk Effigies with your awesome Nitewing. Here’s a video by Playing Quietly with all the details:
Be sure to turn the Lifmunk Effigies you collect in at a Statue of Power. You can eventually earn an extra 10 points in capture power with this strategy.
Level 20 – Unlock the Giga Sphere
At level 20, unlock the yellow Giga Sphere in the tech tree. Use the Sphere Workbench to craft yellow Giga Spheres out of 2 Paldium Fragments, 2 Ingots, 7 Wood, and 7 Stone each.
This yellow Giga Sphere is the third of six spheres. It has a capture power of 20 and is typically best for capturing pals levels 20-29.
Level 22 – Unlock the Stun Baton
If you stun a pal before throwing a sphere at them, you will capture the pal more easily. So, at level 22, unlock the Stun Baton technology and make yourself a Stun Baton.
Level 27 – Unlock the Sphere Assembly Line and the Hyper Sphere
Use the technology tree to unlock the Sphere Assembly Line and the red Hyper Sphere.
The Sphere Workbench can only make blue Pal Spheres, green Mega Spheres, and yellow Giga Spheres. To make the fourth of six spheres, the red Hyper Sphere, you’ll need the Sphere Assembly Line.
Build the Sphere Assembly Line and then use it to craft red Hyper Spheres out of 3 Paldium Fragments, 3 Ingots, 10 Wood, and 2 Cement per sphere.
The red Hyper Sphere has a capture power of 26 and is typically best for capturing pals levels 30-39.
Level 35 – Unlock the Sphere Assembly Line II and the Ultra Sphere
At level 35, you can begin to make the fifth of six spheres, the pink Ultra Sphere by unlocking the Sphere Assembly Line II technology and by building a Sphere Assembly Line II.
Ultra Spheres can be crafted using 5 Paldium Fragments, 5 Refined Ingots, 2 Carbon Fibers, and 3 Cement per sphere.
The pink Ultra Sphere has a capture power of 32 and is typically best for capturing pals levels 40-49.
Level 44 – Unlock the Legendary Sphere
At level 44, you can use your Sphere Assembly Line II to make the sixth of six spheres, the Legendary Sphere. It has a capture power of 37 and is for capturing level 50 pals.
Legendary Spheres can be crafted using 10 Paldium Fragments, 5 Pal Metal Ingots, 3 Carbon Fibers, and 5 Cement per sphere.
