1 pal drops Polymer in Palworld 1.0. No ordinary wild pal drops it. The one row on the table is Neptilius, and only its alpha pays. One source, and the game's drop table gives that row no roll chance at all.
What drops Polymer in Palworld
Exactly one pal drops Polymer in Palworld 1.0: Neptilius, ×5 per kill with no roll chance listed in the drop table. There is no second source anywhere on the drop table, so that fight is the item.
Polymer is a processed material rather than a raw one. Carbon Fiber and Hexolite do the same job off the same dropper, so check which one a recipe asked for before you spend it. Neptilius is Water-type with 145 attack, wild at level 60, and one parent pair breeds one if hatching it beats hunting it. No ordinary Neptilius row carries it at all: the alpha row is the only one that does.
Every source of Polymer, with drop rates
The one dropper, 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Neptilius |
×5 · chance unlisted | wild Lv 60 · alpha only |
Amounts are per kill or capture. Open any pal's page for its spawn zones and level bands.
Where Polymer actually comes from
Every row on the drop table is an alpha row. A regular wild pal of the same species drops nothing at all, so the only way to get Polymer is to fight the fixed alpha.
Neptilius drops 3 other things on the same kill: Carbon Fiber at ×5, Pure Quartz at ×10, Large Pal Soul at ×1. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Polymer.
You can craft it at the Production Assembly Line rather than only kill for it, which makes the drop a shortcut past a production chain instead of the only supply. What it goes into is various advanced items such as firearms.
Polymer farming FAQ
- What drops Polymer in Palworld?
- One pal, and only one: Neptilius drops Polymer at ×5 per kill, with no roll chance listed in the drop table. The drop table holds no second source for it in Palworld 1.0, so there is no easier alternative to find and nothing to compare the rate against.
- What is Polymer used for in Palworld?
- Polymer is for various advanced items such as firearms. It is a processed material rather than a raw one, which is worth knowing before you commit to the farm: only Neptilius rolls it, at ×5 per kill, with no roll chance listed in the drop table.
- How do you farm Polymer fast in Palworld?
- Repeat the one fight. Neptilius is the only pal that drops Polymer, at ×5 a time, with no roll chance listed in the drop table, so throughput is entirely about how quickly you can reset and kill it. Capturing pays the same as killing, so a sphere is not a wasted attempt.
- Do alpha pals drop Polymer?
- Yes, and only an alpha does. The single row on Polymer's drop table is the alpha Neptilius, flagged "alpha only" on this page, so a regular wild one of that species drops nothing however many you kill. The fixed alpha fight is the entire supply.
