What drops Ore in Palworld

8 pals drop Ore in Palworld 1.0. Pierdon pays the most at ×4-5 per kill, and Digtoise is the one to farm early, wild from level 17. Every rate on this page comes from the game's drop table.

Ore is a gathered resource that also drops off pals.

Pierdon ×4-5 Ground Digtoise ×2-3 Ground Gorirat Terra ×2-3 Ground Surfent Terra ×2-3 Ground Knocklem ×2-3 Ground Cryolinx Terra ×2-3 Ground Knocklem Ignis ×2-3 Fire Tetroise Primo ×4-6 · rate unlisted Neutral

Every source of Ore, with drop rates

All 8 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
Pierdon	×4-5	wild Lv 42-50
Digtoise	×2-3	wild Lv 17-44
Gorirat Terra	×2-3	wild Lv 30-80
Surfent Terra	×2-3	wild Lv 31-63
Knocklem	×2-3	wild Lv 55-80
Cryolinx Terra	×2-3	wild Lv 56-64
Knocklem Ignis	×2-3	wild Lv 65-73
Tetroise Primo	×4-6 · chance unlisted	wild Lv 60-78 · alpha only

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

Where to farm Ore early

Digtoise is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×2-3 per kill, wild from level 17, which puts it well before the mid-game. None of the droppers is nocturnal, so the whole list is available in daylight. The wild bands on this list reach level 80, so the sources hold up into the endgame.

Digtoise drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×2-3, High Quality Pal Oil at ×2-3, Precious Claw at ×2-3. Pierdon drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×4-6, Coal at ×4-5, Sulfur at ×4-5. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Ore. Digtoise's densest spawn is Desiccated Dunes, 312 points at level 33-39. Killing pals is not the only route: Ore is in the expedition loot pool at about 100% per expedition.

The game's description points at the ground rather than at a pal, so killing for it is the second route rather than the first. Which one is faster depends on whether you have a base near the node.

How much Ore you get per kill

Ore comes in ×2 to ×6 per kill: Tetroise Primo pays the top ×4-6 and Digtoise the bottom ×2-3. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
