Palworld takes inspiration from the Pokémon universe as it offers a world full of various creatures you can capture and pit against each other. But Palworld does its own thing by also having survival elements along with base-building mechanics.
With so much to do and explore, you are going to need these essential Palworld tips to help you understand the things you should prioritize first and the things you should probably avoid.

Best Beginner Tips & Tricks For Palworld
Capture Ten Of Every Pal Species You Find
One of the best ways to get a ton of experience at the beginning of Palworld is to capture a lot of Pals. Especially focus on capturing 10 different Pals that belong to the same species. =
Once you capture a Pal of a certain type, you might not want to capture them again since you already have them. But you can butcher them anyway if you do not need them. (Yikes!)

Use The Climbing Mechanic
Something that the game doesn’t make very obvious is that you can climb any structure and terrain by simply jumping toward the wall. As long as you have energy, you can keep climbing vertically and even go in horizontal directions. If you are scared of falling, know that the fall damage does not kick in until you are plummeting from a considerable height.
Always Carry Food When Exploring
Since Palworld is also a survival game, both you and your pals have a hunger meter that will need to be constantly managed. Once you or any Pal you have depletes their hunger bar, they will rapidly start losing health until they only have 1 health left. This is why you should always make sure that you have food at hand, cooked or raw, so you can keep your and your Pals hunger at bay.
Build Lumbering And Stone Station
One of the most important Palworld tip is to make sure you build a Lumber Station and Stone Station at your base as soon as you have the materials and resources for it. These stations give your Pals a passive job to do while you are away, and the limit on the resources they can collect using these stations is 99,999. This means they will constantly gather resources using these Stations no matter what.
Build A Ranch
Just like the previous tip about Lumber Stations and Stone Stations, you should make a Ranch as soon as you have the materials. A Ranch will provide you with Eggs and Wools if you have the correct Pals in it, which makes it far easier to farm these items. Without a Ranch, you will have to go out and eliminate these Pals to get those resources.
Utilize Traders
A lot of times in Palworld, you are not going to find some of the specific resources and materials you need to craft things. Going out to get items means you will likely use up other items in the process along with losing time. It can be a wise decision to go to the Trader and buy it off them instead of going out to collect those items.

Use Technology Points Wisely
Technology Points are used to unlock things that you can craft in the game. But getting technology points is rarer than you would think. Eventually, you will not be able to unlock all the items in the technology tree since there aren’t enough points to go around. So only unlock things in the Technology tree that you actually need.

Strike Pals When They Are Asleep
One of the best tips to easily capture Pals is to utilize the nighttime. When you hit pals while they are sleeping, they are going to take increased damage from it. You can also directly throw a Pal Sphere at a sleeping Pal, which will increase the chances of them being captured. This only works when Pals are asleep during the night.
Note: To craft more Pal Spheres, you will need to mine Paldium Fragments in Palworld.
Throw Pal Spheres At The Back Of Pals
Catching Pals off guard gives you the best chance to capture them. One of the best Palworld tips to capture a Pal is to make sure you throw the Pal Sphere while you are behind them and they aren’t looking. This gives you an extra Back Bonus on the chance of capturing the Pal, which makes it easier to get them.
Dont Overwork Your Pals
When you get a Monitoring Stand in Palworld, you will be able to set how hard the pals should be working. The higher it is, the more yield you will get out of them. However, use this very cautiously as overworking your Pals for longer periods of time can cause them to lose their sanity levels. If you increase the amount of work, do it for as short of a period as you can.

Only Invest Pal Souls In Selective Pals
Pal Souls are very difficult to come by in Palworld. They can make your Pals stronger and make them have more yield from their work at the base. So, you should consider focusing your Pal Souls into selective Pals rather than distributing them over all of your Pals. This ensures you have a selection of powerful Pals whenever you need them.
Have Pals In Your Team That Increase Weight Capacity
Finding a valuable item or resource only to realize you cannot carry any more weight is frustrating. While you can increase this via Stat Points, you can also temporarily increase your max weight carrying capacity by simply having a Pal that increases that when it’s on your current Team.
