You’ll need a lot of ingots inPalworld, as they are used to create pretty much every metal-related item from mid-to-late game.
Palworld is a survival, Pokemon-inspired game where you send “Pals” to battle, use them to maintain and build bases, and even build machine guns. Seriously.
So, it’s no surprise that ingots in Palworld are a crucial commodity that you’ll need to farm, so that your pals can blast away.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to farm ingots in Palworld early game
To farm ingots in Palworld, you’ll need to:
Note that in most cases, your ingot farm will be your second base, which you can establish once you reach Base Level 10. However, to achieve this, you need to be at least level 15.
Find an area with ore deposits
Ores are refined into ingots, and you’ll need to mine a ton of them.
Ore deposits are everywhere in Palworld. If you ever run into an area with plenty of ore deposits, ideally located in a large, flat area with other resources, it’s probably a good idea to set up a base there.
If you can’t find a suitable place, there’s one southwest of Small Settlement.
To get there, you’ll need to jump down a cliff and swim across to another island. Alternatively, you may cross the large bridge above, but it might take a bit longer.
Build a base with a Primitive Furnace, along with other basic necessities for your Pals
Once you have found a suitable place and have researched the “Primitive Furnace” technology, you may start farming ingots in Palworld.
Primitive Furnace (Level 10 technology)
Straw Pal Beds (Level 3 technology)
Hot Spring (Level 9 technology)
Wooden Chest (Level 2 technology)

You can also build workbenches, repair bench, or anything that you may need for your own convenience — especially if you don’t want to travel back and forth between your first base and your farm, especially if your farm is the second base.
Capture Pals with Mining, Transporting, and Kindling Work Suitability
Now that you have your base setup, it’s time to send Pals to work.
However, you may’t just capture and put any Pals in the base to get your ingot farm going. Each of the Pals has their own unique Work Suitability that allows them to do certain tasks in the base.
For your ingot farm, you’ll need Pals with at least Level 2 Mining, Transporting, and Kindling Work Suitability.
You can find Work Suitability on the bottom right side of your Paldeck.
For early game, the best Pals to work inside your ingot farms are Tombats and Foxsparks. But, you may send any other Pals as long as they have the necessary Work Suitabilities.
Tombats have Level 2 Mining and Transporting Work Suitability which will allow them to mine and transport your ores and ingots inside your Wooden Chest.
However, finding Tombats might be a bit tricky as they are harder to come by and may require a stroke of luck. They usually roam around Grassy Behemoth Hills and its surrounding areas at night.
You’ll also find Foxsparks in the same area during the day, and you’ll want them for their Kindling Work Suitability, which is needed to operate Primitive Furnaces for refining your ores into ingots.
Note that your ores do disappear as they are mined, but reappear periodically, allowing you to farm continuously.
Once you have built your base and captured enough Pals to get ingots in Palworld, you won’t need to do anything else.
You are free to go about your adventures and come back occasionally to pick up ingots for whatever needs you may have.
