Where to Find and Farm Ore in Palworld
Mine Ore efficiently, refine it into Ingots, and build a route without relying on fictional tower unlocks.
Ore comes from mineral nodes found throughout Palpagos and from later production options unlocked through Technology. It is a gathered material, not the reward for an “Ore Haul Circuit” quest.
Mark a short mining route
Use the Interactive Map to find several Ore nodes near fast travel. Prefer a compact route that your current team can clear safely, and bring enough carrying capacity to avoid ending the run after one cluster.
Use the right miner
Mine nodes with an appropriate pickaxe or a Pal whose Mining suitability can work the deposit. At a resource base, keep storage near the nodes and leave clear navigation paths. Avoid building directly over natural respawn points.
Refine Ore at a furnace
Ore is processed into Ingots with a furnace and a Kindling Pal. Higher material tiers use their own recipes; mining a node does not directly award a fixed bundle of Ore and Ingots.
Do not wait for a fictional tower gate
Natural Ore deposits are part of the open world. Defeating an “Anubis Tower” is not a requirement—there is no Anubis tower encounter. Progress based on your equipment, climate protection, enemy level, and accessible fast travel instead.
