What drops Coal in Palworld

5 pals drop Coal in Palworld 1.0. Blazamut pays the most at ×10 per kill, and Pierdon is the one to farm early, wild from level 42. Every rate on this page comes from the game's drop table.

Coal is a crafting input with one destination. Sulfur does the same job off the same dropper, so check which of the two a recipe asked for before you spend one.

Every source of Coal, with drop rates

All 5 droppers, with the per-kill amount, the roll chance where the drop is not guaranteed, and the wild level band each pal spawns in. Alpha-only rows are flagged, and a normal wild pal of that species pays nothing. Where a row reads "chance unlisted" the game's drop table carries no roll number for it, which happens on alpha rows whose item the ordinary row also drops.

Pal	Per kill	Found
Blazamut	×10	wild Lv 46-80
Blazamut Ryu	×10	breed or catch from alphas
Pierdon	×4-5	wild Lv 42-50
Smokie Cryst	×2-3 · chance unlisted	wild Lv 62-64 ☾ night · alpha only
Aegidron	×6-8 · chance unlisted	wild Lv 79 · alpha only

Amounts are per kill or capture. See Pierdon's spawn points on the live map, or open any pal's page for its spawn zones and level bands.

Where to farm Coal early

Pierdon is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×4-5 per kill, wild from level 42, which puts it around the mid-game. One of them, Smokie Cryst, 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.

Pierdon drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×4-6, Ore at ×4-5, Sulfur at ×4-5. Blazamut drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20, Fire Radiant Gem at ×10-20. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Coal. Pierdon's densest spawn is Flamepulse Islet, 20 points at level 42-50. Killing pals is not the only route: Coal is in the expedition loot pool at about 100% per expedition.

The game's own line points it at high quality metal, so how much you need is set by that recipe rather than by how much drops. Work backwards from the recipe and the farm length answers itself.

How much Coal you get per kill

Coal comes in ×2 to ×10 per kill: Blazamut pays the top ×10 and Smokie Cryst the bottom ×2-3. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
