How to get
Meteorite Fragment.

“Fragment of a rock from outer space. Contains large amounts of Paldium Fragment, which can be extracted by placing it in a Crusher.”

3 sources best: ×7-15

3 pals drop Meteorite Fragment in Palworld 1.0. The early farm is Xenovader at ×3-10 per kill, wild from level 25. A short list, straight off the drop table.

What drops Meteorite Fragment in Palworld

3 pals drop Meteorite Fragment in Palworld 1.0. Xenolord pays the most at ×7-15 per kill, and Xenovader is the one to farm early, wild from level 25. Every rate on this page comes from the game's drop table.

Meteorite Fragment is a container for something else. Xenovader is Dark-type with 125 attack, wild between level 25-30, and one parent pair breeds one if hatching it beats hunting it. Xenovader's alpha row carries it as well, so an alpha kill pays the same item as an ordinary one.

Every source of Meteorite Fragment, with drop rates

All 3 droppers, with the per-kill amount, the roll chance where the drop is not guaranteed, and the wild level band each pal spawns in.

PalPer killFound
Xenolord ×7-15 breed or catch from alphas
Xenogard ×5-12 breed or catch from alphas
Xenovader ×3-10 wild Lv 25-30 ☾ night

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

Where to farm Meteorite Fragment early

Xenovader is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×3-10 per kill, wild from level 25, which puts it well before the mid-game. 2 of the 3 are nocturnal, Xenolord among them, so part of the list only shows up after dark. Xenovader stops spawning past level 30, so the early farm has a shelf life; after that it is Xenolord at ×7-15.

Xenovader drops 2 other things on the same kill: Precious Claw at ×5-6, Ancient Civilization Parts at ×2-3. Xenolord drops 2 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×4-6, Precious Dragon Stone at ×2-3. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Meteorite Fragment.

The value is not the fragment. Put it in the Crusher and what comes out is Paldium Fragment, so the drop is one step short of the thing you actually wanted.

How much Meteorite Fragment you get per kill

Meteorite Fragment comes in ×3 to ×15 per kill: Xenolord pays the top ×7-15 and Xenovader the bottom ×3-10. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
