Palworld is a new survival game making waves right now due to the Pokémon-like catching and battling mechanics built into it. The key difference is that the monsters, or Pals, can use weapons and be assigned to help work in your Bases. Defeating Pals will drop resources like Wheat, and outcrops can give you things like Sulfur when mined, which can then be used for base building.

Palworld High Quality Pal Oil is an essential crafting ingredient if you want to start using guns, and other more advanced weaponry. It's only dropped by a handful of Pals, but luckily you shouldn't have any trouble getting to them in the early game.

Different Pals drop different resources in Palword, the new survival game that blends survival mechanics with monster catching and battling. High Quality Pal Oil can be found out in the open world, though you'll have to take down some relatively tough Pals to get it.

Here's how to get High Quality Pal Oil in Palworld, including some tips on which Pals drop it when defeated, and which ones to go after in the early-game desert area. We'll also cover some of the weapons that can be created using High Quality Pal Oil so that you can go after tougher bosses and defend your Camp from Raids.
