What drops Ruby in Palworld

5 pals drop Ruby in Palworld 1.0. Tetroise pays the most at ×1-2 per kill, and Direhowl is the one to farm early, wild from level 6. Every rate on this page comes from the game's drop table.

Ruby is a pure cash drop. Precious Claw and Precious Dragon Stone and Precious Entrails do the same job off the same dropper, so check which one a recipe asked for before you spend it.

Every source of Ruby, with drop rates

All 5 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
Tetroise	×1-2	wild Lv 48-80
Roujay	×1-2	wild Lv 74-78 ☾ night
Relaxaurus	×1 · 5% chance	wild Lv 30-80
Direhowl	×1 · 3% chance	wild Lv 6-14
Vanwyrm	×1-2 · 1% chance	wild Lv 20-63 ☾ night

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

Where to farm Ruby early

Direhowl is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1 per kill on a 3% roll, wild from level 6, which puts it in the first hour of the game. 2 of the 5 are nocturnal, Roujay among them, so part of the list only shows up after dark. Direhowl stops spawning past level 14, so the early farm has a shelf life; after that it is Tetroise at ×1-2.

Direhowl drops 3 other things on the same kill: Gold Coin at ×10-20, Ancient Civilization Parts at ×1-2, Leather at ×1-2. Tetroise drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20, Ground Radiant Gem at ×10-20. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Ruby. Direhowl's densest spawn is Deep Bamboo Thicket, 119 points at level 11-14. Killing pals is not the only route: Ruby is in the field chest loot pool at about 100% per chest.

Nothing crafts from it. The game's own line puts it straight on a merchant's counter, so the only question is how many you can carry per trip and whether the fight is worth the coin.

How much Ruby you get per kill

Ruby comes in ×1 to ×2 per kill: Tetroise pays the top ×1-2 and Relaxaurus the bottom ×1. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.

Do alpha pals drop Ruby?
