2 pals drop Chromite in Palworld 1.0. The early farm is Smokie at ×1-2 per kill, wild from level 30. A short list, straight off the drop table.
What drops Chromite in Palworld
2 pals drop Chromite in Palworld 1.0. Silvegis pays the most at ×2-3 per kill, and Smokie is the one to farm early, wild from level 30. Every rate on this page comes from the game's drop table.
Chromite is a gathered resource that also drops off pals. Smokie is Dark-type with 90 attack, wild between level 30-66, and 260 parent pairs breed one if hatching it beats hunting it. Smokie's alpha row carries it as well, so an alpha kill pays the same item as an ordinary one.
Every source of Chromite, with drop rates
Both droppers, with the per-kill amount, the roll chance where the drop is not guaranteed, and the wild level band each pal spawns in.
Amounts are per kill or capture. See Smokie's spawn points on the live map, or open any pal's page for its spawn zones and level bands.
Where to farm Chromite early
Smokie is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1-2 per kill, wild from level 30, which puts it around the mid-game. One of them, Smokie, only comes out at night, so it is off the table in daylight. The wild bands on this list reach level 80, so the sources hold up into the endgame.
Smokie drops 2 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×6-7, Precious Pelt at ×2-3. Silvegis drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20, Dragon Radiant Gem at ×10-20. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Chromite. Smokie's densest spawn is Deserted Ash Plateau, 199 points at level 56-62. Killing pals is not the only route: Chromite is in the supply drop loot pool at about 100% per crate, and the expedition loot pool at about 100% per expedition.
The game's description points at the ground rather than at a pal, down to the tool it takes to find it, so killing for it is the second route rather than the first. Which one is faster depends on whether you have a base near the node.
How much Chromite you get per kill
Chromite comes in ×1 to ×3 per kill: Silvegis pays the top ×2-3 and Smokie the bottom ×1-2. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
