Palworld: How to Get Dark Fragment

When it comes to finding all of the new crafting items in Palworld’s Feybreak, don’t get left in the dark about how to get Dark Fragments.

There is a wide range of Pals in Palworld, from powerful Fire Pals to blisteringly fast Dragon Pals. While some make for excellent companions in battle, others are better suited for working at the base. Base Pals are excellent workers, but those specialized in working at the Ranch are particularly special, as they produce their own resources on the fly. Here are the best Pals to have working at the Ranch.

8

Vixy

Digs Up a Range of Different Items

First up is Vixy
, a unique Neutral Pal found almost exclusively in the Windswept Hills. Vixy is arguably one of the weakest Pals in the game but excels at gathering, especially when placed in a Ranch. When grazing at a Ranch, Vixy has the rather neat ability to dig up a range of different items, making it one of the more unique Pals on this list.

The items that Vixy can dig up at the Ranch include Arrows, Pal Spheres
, and Gold Coins
. While Arrows and Pal Spheres are fairly easy to craft, the addition of Gold Coins is a nice bonus, though Vixy isn’t known for providing a constant supply of the currency. However, if players are looking for an early-game source of Pal Spheres and Gold Coins, Vixy can be a solid choice as a Ranch Pal.

7

Sootseer

Dark Pal Capable of Farming Bones

While Vixy may be a great starting Pal for the Ranch, Sootseer is a Pal that players may not encounter until later in their playthrough, as it is part of the roster of Pals inhabiting Sakurajima Island. Sootseer is a Dark/Fire Pal, and while it’s a great Kindler and even boasts mining abilities, its most desirable skill is its ability to dig up Bones
when working inside the Ranch.

Bones are an essential crafting ingredient for a variety of Medicines in Palworld, ranging from Medical Supplies for treating Fractures and Ulcers to High-Grade Medical Supplies for addressing weakened and depressed Pals. While players can reduce the risk of Pals suffering these ailments by improving working conditions at their base, some Pals will inevitably require treatment, making Sootseer an excellent Pal for acquiring one of the most sought-after resources for crafting medicine.

6

Chikipi

Provides a Constant Supply of Food

Back to a starting Pal now with Chikipi
, a Neutral Pal that all players will encounter at the start of their journey. Chikipi may be one of the least desirable Pals in all of Palworld for combat, as it is often defeated by nearly any enemy a player faces. However, much like an actual chicken, Chikipi proves its worth with its ability to lay Eggs
when put to work at a Ranch.

Eggs are an excellent food source in Palworld when cooked in a Cooking Pot, both for the player and Pals alike. If players find themselves with a few Chikipis, they can set up an Egg farm at their base, providing an unlimited food source. Although players must manually task Pals with cooking the Eggs on-site to maximize their utility as food, Eggs are also a vital ingredient for crafting Cakes, which leads into the next entry.

5

Mozzarina

An Excellent Source For Milk

Mozzarina
is very similar to Chikipi in that, while fairly useless in battle, it becomes quite valuable when assigned to the Ranch. This is because Mozzarina provides a constant supply of Milk
when grazing at a Ranch, with Milk being a desirable resource for two specific purposes.

First, Milk can be consumed directly by both Pals and players, making it an excellent source of unlimited food. It can be stored in a player’s inventory or placed inside Feed Boxes for working Pals, allowing players to focus on other tasks while their Pals are fed automatically. Additionally, much like eggs, milk is a vital ingredient for crafting Cakes, which again leads to the next entry.

4

Beegarde

Provides a Constant Supply of Honey

Following Mozzarina is Beegarde
, a Grass Pal who is not exactly the greatest fighter or worker when it comes to Palworld’s roster of Pals. However, throw a Beegarde into a Ranch, and it becomes one of the most useful Pals for farming a particular food source. When assigned to a Ranch, Beegarde will produce Honey
at a steady rate, not only allowing players to stock up on food for their working Pals, but also providing a vital ingredient to craft Cakes, completing the trio of Pals needed to get a hold of an automatic Cake farm.

Palworld: How to Get Nightstar Sand

To find this unique black sand in Palworld you’ll need to venture out after dark to find its glow.

Cakes
are very important for breeding specific Pals at the Breeding Farm, making Honey an essential ingredient for players looking to get their hands on powerful Pals. Beegardes also have a wide range of other skills, such as boasting a level 2 in Transporting, making them a good fit for transporting goods produced inside the Ranch to nearby chests for storage.

3

Mau & Mau Cryst

Two Pals With The Skill of Digging Up Gold

Next up are both Mau
and Mau Cryst
, two separate Pals belonging to two different elements. However, with each Pal being closely related, it’s only natural that their skills overlap quite a bit, especially when working at the Ranch. When assigned to a Ranch, both Mau and Mau Cryst have the ability to dig up Gold Coins
, the primary currency for many of the merchants in Palworld.

With Gold Coins, players can purchase a wide range of resources, weapons, and Pals, making Mau and Mau Cryst’s ability to farm the currency an excellent strategy for maintaining a constant source of income. Pair this with the option to capture merchants and keep them at the base, and players can create a convenient system for purchasing items with ease.

2

Dumud

Allows Easy Access To High-Quality Pal Oil

From Dark and Ice Pals to the Ground element now with Dumud
, a Pal infamous for its perpetual procrastination. While Dumud may not excel in combat—aside from its ability to boost the attack power of other Ground Pals—it proves to be incredibly useful when put to work at the Ranch. This is because Dumud occasionally produces High Quality Pal Oil
, a vital resource for crafting a wide range of tools.

High Quality Pal Oil is an essential ingredient for crafting early-game weapons in Palworld, including the Musket, Makeshift Handgun, and Handgun. Additionally, it is a critical component for crafting Polymer
, which is required to make more advanced weapons like the Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and more. With its ability to generate this valuable resource, Dumud becomes a lucrative addition to any player’s base.

1

Sibelyx

Produces High Quality Cloth For Armor Crafting

Last up is Sibelyx
, an Ice Pal that can be an excellent choice for players aiming to take down tough Dragon Pals. However, like all the previous entries, Sibelyx has a unique trait that makes it particularly valuable at the Ranch. When assigned to the Ranch, Sibelyx quickly gets to work generating High Quality Cloth
, a lucrative resource for players looking to enhance their defense.
