Palworld 1.0 Getting Started Guide
Follow the real opening missions, establish a working base, and prepare for the first Tower Boss without invented rewards or gates.
Palworld 1.0 teaches its opening systems through the Main Mission list. Follow the objectives shown in your journal rather than looking for a separate mission called “First Steps on Palpagos.” The opening sequence covers gathering, a Primitive Workbench, basic tools, Pal Spheres, capturing a Pal, and establishing a Palbox.
Follow the journal objectives
Complete the current Main Mission exactly as displayed. Tutorial missions award their own listed experience and items; there is no separate website-authored reward bundle for completing this guide.
Build a small functional base
Place the Palbox where workers have clear paths and enough level ground for production buildings. Add beds, food storage, basic crafting, and resource storage before expanding. Use a Berry Plantation only after you can supply Planting, Watering, and Gathering workers; see the Berry Plantation guide.
Unlock travel while exploring
Activate fast-travel points and use the Interactive Map to keep track of towers, settlements, and resources. Exploring a region is not normally locked behind an invented resource circuit or unofficial tower clear.
Prepare for the first tower
Upgrade equipment, bring repaired weapons and enough ammunition, and choose combat Pals that suit the matchup. Tower battles are timed encounters and their bosses cannot be captured during the normal tower fight. Continue with the Tower Boss guide when you are ready.
