“A gem formed as World Tree energy accumulates within a Pal’s body. When processed, it becomes an item that releases the hidden power of Dragon Pals.”

15 sources best: ×10-20

15 pals drop Dragon Radiant Gem in Palworld 1.0. No ordinary wild pal drops it, so every route on this page is an alpha, a level-gated kill or an endgame spawn. All 15 are on this page with their real amounts and rolls.

What drops Dragon Radiant Gem in Palworld

15 pals drop Dragon Radiant Gem, and not one of them spawns as a normal wild pal you can farm early. Elphidran pays the most at ×10-20 per kill, so this is a trip you gear up for rather than a route you run.

Dragon Radiant Gem is the Dragon radiant gem. Electric Radiant Gem does the same job off the same dropper, so check which of the two a recipe asked for before you spend one.

Where Dragon Radiant Gem actually comes from

Every row is level-gated: the pal has to be at least Lv 70 for the drop to appear, so a low-level kill of the right species still pays nothing. Blazamut Ryu has no wild spawn at all, which is the one case where breeding is the answer rather than the hunt.

Elphidran drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20, Gorgeous Ancient Relic at ×4-8. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Dragon Radiant Gem. Elphidran's densest spawn is Ancient Ritual Site, 113 points at level 25-28. Killing pals is not the only route: Dragon Radiant Gem is in the elemental chest loot pool at about 33% per chest, and the expedition loot pool at about 11% per expedition, and the field chest loot pool at about 6.5% per chest.

Processed, it releases what the game calls the hidden power of Dragon pals, so it only ever matters if you are building around that one element. A box with no Dragon in it has no use for the stack.

How much Dragon Radiant Gem you get per kill

Dragon Radiant Gem comes in ×1 to ×20 per kill: Elphidran pays the top ×10-20 and Eidrolon Ignis the bottom ×1-3. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
