Every source of Hardwood, with drop rates

All 4 droppers, with the per-kill amount, the roll chance where the drop is not guaranteed, and the wild level band each pal spawns in.

Pal	Per kill	Found
Wumpo Botan	×2-5	wild Lv 38-80
Palumba	×2-4	wild Lv 32-50
Mossanda Lux	×1-3	wild Lv 15-80
Mossanda	×1-3	wild Lv 27-80

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

Where to farm Hardwood early

Mossanda Lux is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1-3 per kill, wild from level 15, which puts it well before the mid-game. None of the droppers is nocturnal, so the whole list is available in daylight. Mossanda Lux's band runs all the way to level 80, so you never outlevel the farm and never have to switch off it.

Mossanda Lux drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×4-6, Precious Pelt at ×4-6, Leather at ×2-3. Wumpo Botan drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20, Grass Radiant Gem at ×10-20. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Hardwood.

Recipes that specify it will not accept ordinary wood, and the game places the trees it comes from in deserts, volcanic ground and snow. A pal that drops it saves you the trip to all three.

How much Hardwood you get per kill

Hardwood comes in ×1 to ×5 per kill: Wumpo Botan pays the top ×2-5 and Mossanda Lux the bottom ×1-3. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
