What drops Ingot in Palworld

2 pals drop Ingot in Palworld 1.0, and one pal both pays the most and is the easiest to reach: Bushi, ×2-3 per kill, wild from level 25. Nothing on the list pays more, so there is no upgrade to work toward.

Ingot is a crafting input with one destination. Bushi is Fire-type with 125 attack, wild between level 25-59, and 286 parent pairs breed one if hatching it beats hunting it. Bushi's alpha row carries it as well, so an alpha kill pays the same item as an ordinary one.

Every source of Ingot, 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.

Pal	Per kill	Found
Bushi	×2-3	wild Lv 25-59
Bushi Noct	×2-3	wild Lv 46-67 ☾ night

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

Where to farm Ingot early

Bushi is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×2-3 per kill, wild from level 25, which puts it well before the mid-game. One of them, Bushi Noct, only comes out at night, so it is off the table in daylight.

Bushi drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×3-5, Precious Entrails at ×3-5, Bone at ×1-2. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Ingot. Bushi's densest spawn is Desiccated Dunes, 327 points at level 30-42. Killing pals is not the only route: Ingot is in the field chest loot pool at about 2.9% per chest.

The game's own line points it at metal weapons and armor, 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 Ingot you get per kill

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