The mega update for Palworld with the brand new Sakurajima island is out. This guide will act as breeding guide for Palworld and will cover how to make all the best pals. It will also offer tips and tricks for optimizing the breeding process. You’ll learn how to get a pal that meets your goals, along with a full setup guide for making your base and ensuring everything works perfectly.
Breeding Overview
For anyone new to Palworld, let’s do a quick overview of the breeding system to ensure no one is left behind. Your pals come with a set of stats and can have up to four passive skills. These skills are randomized when you capture a pal or hatch it from an egg. However, there is an option for breeding pals together— a male and a female—to create offspring. This offspring can either generate its own random passive traits or inherit traits from one or both parents. This system allows you to pair pals to create the perfect offspring for any purpose.
At level 19, you’ll unlock the ability to put down a breeding farm. This structure allows you to place two pals (a male and a female) inside, and it will create offspring eggs at a regular rate. The farm has a chest attached, where you need to put cake to fuel the parents and celebrate the offspring’s birthday. You can buy the cake, gather the ingredients, or make it yourself in your base using honey, eggs, milk, red berries, and wheat.
Best Traits & Strategies
Every pal can have various traits, some harder to get than others. The optimal setup depends on your needs. For example, you may want a pal for work suitability, such as one good at kindling, watering, or generating electricity. For combat, you’ll want to stack traits and stats for maximum efficiency.
Example of Combat Pal Traits
For a dark main pal like Necromus, an optimal setup could be:
–Legend: +20% attack, +20% defense
–Muscle Head: +30% attack
–Ferocious: +20% attack
–Lord of the Underworld: +20% attack for all dark attacks
By combining these traits, you can create a character capable of doing maximum damage.
Breeding Effects
Most pals produce similar offspring, but some combinations produce specific results. Use a combination calculator to decide which pals to breed. This calculator allows you to specify the parent or breeding pair, swap between them, and look at the breeding tree to find the best combinations.
Breeding Specific Traits
High-end pals, such as Frostallion or Necromus, often require breeding with themselves to create the same offspring. Historically, getting the right setup for these pals has been challenging. However, the new update introduces Yakumo, a pal whose passive increases the chances of offspring inheriting traits. By riding Yakumo, you can encounter pals with the desired traits, simplifying the breeding process.
Optimal Pairing
From extensive testing, the most successful combination involves:
- One parent with three desired traits and an empty slot.
- The other parent with the missing trait.
This combination has the highest chance of producing offspring with the desired traits. Alternatively, pairing two parents with two desired traits each or using duplicates can also work, but with slightly less success.
How to View Base Stats
At level 34, you can unlock an accessory that shows the base stats (IVs) on a scale for each pal, making the breeding process much easier. This accessory requires Ancient Civilization Parts, Paldium, Refined Ingot, and an Ancient Civilization Core.
Unique Traits
Three unique traits can only be found in specific pals:
- Legend: +20% attack, +20% defense, +15% move speed. Found in endgame world bosses.
- Elemental Bonuses: Each element has a specific bonus, found in world bosses.
- Lucky: +15% attack, +15% work speed. Found in shiny pals in the world.
Base Setup
For a self-sustained breeding base:
- Two to Three Ranches: Provide resources like eggs, milk, and honey.
- Four to Five Red Berry Farms: Provide red berries and excess food.
- Five to Six Wheat Farms: Provide wheat for flour.
- Four to Six Planting and Gathering Pals: Ensure continuous resource gathering.
- Two to Three Watering Pals: Maintain farm hydration.
- One to Two Kindling Pals: Keep the farm running.
- Two Mills: Grind wheat into flour.
- Two Electric Kitchens: Cook ingredients into cakes.
- Two to Three Breeding Farms: Maintain continuous breeding.
With this setup, you can produce all necessary resources and keep your breeding farms running efficiently.
By following this guide, you’ll be able to optimize your breeding process in Palworld, creating the best pals for any purpose. Happy breeding!
