Palworld Version 1.0 – Patch Notes

Pal tamer, the time has come.

Today, Palworld leaves Early Access. Palworld 1.0 is here!

Sunreach, a mysterious new island floating in the sky… The World Tree, the centerpiece of the Palworld story… Palpagos has grown, and a new adventure awaits you.

Palworld 1.0 adds 72 new Pals to the world, bringing the total number of Pals to an incredible 287!

Palworld 1.0 also introduces new ways to enhance your Pals through Awakening and Mutation, provides overhauled stats and abilities for all Pals, and features major revamps in many areas of the game, including base building, multiplayer, and graphics.

The journey that began in Early Access reaches its peak – and from here, a new Palworld begins.

▼ New Areas & World Improvements

● Sunreach

A new group of islands has appeared high above Palpagos! Carried by the power of Paldium, this land offers a totally different environment compared to the surface, with a unique civilization that has taken root over many years.

Sunreach introduces a variety of new content, including new Pals, tower bosses, and ores that can only be mined with specialized equipment.

Explore every corner of Sunreach and challenge the towers that hide above the clouds. What awaits you on the edge of the sky may be the still-unknown memories of this island…

● The World Tree

Why do the factions of the Palpagos Islands endlessly fight for possession of the towers? The secret hidden on this island will finally be revealed.

The key to the story of Palworld is the World Tree, which towers high above Palpagos, and it is here that players will face their greatest challenge yet.

● Overhauled World!

• Ancient Ruins: Ancient ruins have been added throughout the world. By exploring and completing mini-games, you can earn valuable rewards such as blueprints (Schematics).
• Observation Towers: Observation towers have been added in various locations. Activating a tower reveals the surrounding map and serves as a fast travel point, making it easier to explore uncharted areas.
• New Small Islands: A total of 7 new small islands have been added, featuring three different biomes: volcano, desert, and ruins. Each island serves its own purpose and is home to Pals that can only be encountered there.
• New Settlements: Small settlements have been added in the bamboo groves, snowy mountains, Sakurajima, and Sunreach. Each settlement offers new NPCs and side quests. Additionally, enemy bases have been added at sea, further expanding the setting for exploration and combat.

● Overhaul of Wildlife Sanctuaries!

The Wildlife Sanctuaries, which were previously small islands, have been transformed into protected reserves created by an ancient civilization to preserve the natural environment. Each of the three sanctuaries has its own unique environment, featuring unique backdrops, Pals that can only be found there, rare materials, and powerful bosses.

Inside, defense drones patrol to eliminate intruders. Sneak onto the islands and avoid the searchlights, or go in with weapons drawn – the choice is yours!

● Adjustment of Pal Habitats (Rebalancing)

We have revamped the placement and spawn levels of Pals around the world. The Pal spawns feel more natural in each region you explore, giving the search for Pals a new sense of fun and adventure!

For the Random Pal Spawn Mode, placement data from version v0.7.3 and earlier will no longer be used to accurately reflect this rebalancing.

● Increased Player Level Cap

The maximum player level has been increased from 65 to 80. Many new technologies related to the ancient civilization have been added.

● Further Adjustments & Improvements

• Lifmunk Statues have been transformed into “Pal Statues”. You can now collect statues of various Pals to improve player stats. (Previously received Lifmunk Statues will remain unchanged.)
• New animation and effects have been added for picking up a Pal statue. (The animation will be skipped if the player is riding a Pal.)
• Treasure chests, dungeon rewards, and item drops have been rebalanced.
• Layouts and lighting of dungeons have been adjusted and improved. Additionally, dungeon rewards have been rebalanced.
• Completed towers will now be displayed in a different color on the map.
• When a random dungeon is open, its entrance will now be highlighted more clearly.
• 15 new entrances to random dungeons have been added throughout Feybreak.
• The layout of some random dungeons, where players could easily get lost, has been improved.
• Predator Pals no longer appear in fixed locations but now spawn at a low rate across the map.
• Junk/Salvage objectives are now easier to find.
• The size of bounty targets has been adjusted to be in line with normal NPCs.
• The tower of the “Free Pal Alliance” has been relocated to Crescent Moon Shore.
• The description texts for the initial respawn points have been adjusted to their respective environments.
• “Forgotten Island,” “Island of the Icy Winds,” and “Wind-Swept Hills, Plateau of Beginnings” have been renamed.
• The Great Eagle Statue on the tower bosses has been removed to improve visibility on the map.
• The appearance of Sealed Realms has been adjusted. Their appearance now changes based on the strength of the boss inside, and two new variations have been added.
• When completing some dungeons and enemy bases, you will now gain exploration experience.
• The number and positions of enemy bases on land have been adjusted.
• New fast travel points have been added.
• An auto-run function has been implemented. With just the push of a button, you can run automatically, making long travels more comfortable.
• The appearance of wild red berry bushes has been altered, making them easier to spot. They have also been placed on the Sea Breeze Archipelago, Marsh Island, Eastern Wild Island, and Isle of Silence.

▼ Quests & Story

● Major Overhaul of Main Quests and Story Progression

The story of Palworld has been significantly overhauled. Exploring Palpagos, battling tower bosses, and the way to the World Tree now connect more naturally.

Sunreach, the World Tree, a colossal legendary Pal…! The previously scattered adventure goals have been structured, allowing you to progress through the game while uncovering the mysteries of the island.

● New Side Quests, NPCs, and Journals

Story-driven, ongoing side quests have been added. New NPCs and journals are now found worldwide, allowing you to learn more about the world of Palworld through exploration.

● Further Adjustments & Improvements

• Some missions can now display multiple objective markers simultaneously.
• The mission screen of the reward NPC now displays the correct rewards.
• To ensure fairness after the reward adjustments, the progress of main and side missions has been reset.
• Note: For main missions related to the tutorial and tower bosses, some missions will be automatically marked as completed based on your previous boss progress.

▼ Pals!

● 72 New Pals Added!

47 new Pals and 25 Pal variants (subspecies) have been added! Encounter still-unknown Pals by exploring Sunreach, the World Tree, and various other regions.

● New Mechanic: Awakening

We have added a new mechanic called “Awakening” that allows you to further enhance your Pals.

Collect hidden Radiant Gems in the depths of the newly opened mystical area – the World Tree – and use them on your favorite Pals to awaken their hidden true power. Aim for even greater heights and make your Pals the strongest!

● New Mechanic: Mutation

With “Mutation”, a new mechanic has been introduced, where breeding has a low chance of creating a Pal that is stronger than the normal breeding outcome. Pals hatching from mutated eggs have higher stats and a unique passive ability.

Additionally, new cakes with special effects have been added:

• Mushroom Cake: Slightly increases the chance that freshly hatched Pals have higher stats.
• Vegetable Cake: Produces two Pal eggs at once.
• Deluxe Vegetable Cake: Increases the chance of mutations and makes higher stat growth more likely.
• Special Cake: Increases the chance of inheriting multiple passive abilities from the Pal parents.

Mutations make Pal breeding more complex and exciting for players who want to raise the ultimate Pal!

● Major Overhaul of Partner Abilities

We have added new partner abilities and revamped the partner abilities of over 200 Pals. The composition of Pal teams has never been so diverse, allowing players to assemble teams for any conceivable situation!

[Examples of New/Changed Abilities]

• New Detection-type Ability: Nox “Kuudere”
  • Old: Changes the player’s attack type to Darkness in co-op battles.
  • New: Displays the location of nearby Pal statues when activated.
• Partner Ability with Damage Boost: Xenolord “Meteor Wing”

  • Old: In co-op battles, Water Pals drop more items upon defeat.
  • New: When a hit with a bullet hits an opponent in the group, it increases the attack and defense of the Pal fighting by your side by 1% for 5 seconds. This effect can stack up to 30 times with itself. (Not stackable with other similar abilities)
• Shield Enhancement Ability: Silvegis “Aegis Shield”
  • Old: Can be ridden. Increases the duration of the shield when using “Aegis Rush” while riding.
  • New: When in the group, reduces shield regeneration delay by 30% and decreases damage taken by your shield by 65%. (Not stackable)

  • Old: Changes the performance of the equipped glider in the group. Increases speed while gliding for long periods.
  • New: When in the group, changes the performance of the equipped glider. Prevents fall damage and extends the duration of high-speed gliding.

Beyond these examples, many more effects have been added or refined.

For almost all Pals, it has been set that the effects of partner abilities will no longer stack when having multiple Pals of the same type in the team. This expands the possibilities in team building and prevents the balance from tilting too far.

The descriptions of partner abilities have been improved so that specific effect values are easier to understand.

Along with the effect changes, some names of partner abilities have also been adjusted.

With the numerous changes, players can perfectly tailor their teams for every situation. Here are some examples:

[Build Examples]

• Bow & Arrow Build: * Loomen: In the group, the player’s arrows explode upon impact.
  • Robinquill Terra: In the group, the player’s bow draw speed increases.
  • → Effect: The combination of explosive arrows and faster draw speed allows for continuous fire at high damage from a safe distance.
• Status Change Build: * Renjishi: In the group, the player’s attacks inflict “Burning”.
  • Jormuntide Ignis: In the group, lava damage is nullified, and the damage of players and Pals against burning enemies is increased.
  • Flaracle: In the group, attacking a burning opponent inflicts additional explosion damage.
  • → Effect: Uses burning as a starting point to maximize damage and corner enemies with continuous firepower and bonus damage.
• Elemental Build: * Gloopie Primo: In the group, increases the defense of Water Pals.
  • Kelpsea: In the group, increases the attack of Water Pals.
  • Penking Lux: In the group, players and Pals improve their water damage against enemy weaknesses.
  • → Effect: Strengthens Water Pals both offensively and defensively and increases the burst damage when hitting weaknesses.

  • Jelliette: In the group, the items obtained through fishing increase.
  • Gloopie: In the group, the fishing mini-game fails less often.
  • Whalaska: In the group, fishing mini-games start with an already increased catch meter.
  • → Effect: Increases the success rate of fishing and the amount of rewards, making it more convenient to collect items.

We have also made numerous adjustments to make a greater variety of Pals in the team more useful:

[Balance Adjustments for Pals]

• The effect “Increased Item Drop Amount” was previously only active when fighting directly with the respective Pal. From now on, it is enough to just have the Pal in the group. This eases team building for explorations and material gathering.
• To increase the chances of obtaining seeds, Vaelet now drops seeds when ranching. This makes preparing for farming and base building easier.
• To make materials easier to gather for early game progression through ranch work, we have added ranch suitability to some Pals and adjusted the materials obtainable there.
• For some Pals, such as glider-enhancing Pals or Pals that support player attacks, crafting Pal Gear is no longer required. You can use the partner ability the moment you catch the Pal!
• With partner abilities that execute follow-up attacks, the follow-up damage can no longer inadvertently knock out a Pal. This prevents accidentally defeating a Pal you actually wanted to catch.

[Adjustments to Specific Effects]

• The healing effect of Pals like Petallia and Lyleen has been switched from a fixed value to a percentage-based healing based on maximum health. This remains a reliable healing method even in late game.
• Jetragons Aerial Missile has received more damage and the cooldown has been shortened.
• Rushoar’s Charge has been adjusted to stop in place when colliding with ore. Your position shifts less frequently while mining, making handling easier.
• Lamball’s Fluffy Shield now has a larger defensive radius to block attacks more easily.
• Mimog can now open all types of treasure chests, even if not condensed (upgraded).

● New Passive Abilities

Many new passive abilities have been added, including extremely powerful abilities with entirely new properties for targeted breeding:

• Lightfooted: Increases the number of jumps while riding this Pal.
• Reload Master: Increases the player’s reload speed.
• Ranch Master: Work Suitability “Ranching” +2.

A new category of “World Tree Passive Abilities” has also been added. These are incredibly powerful, but come at a cost:

• Twin-Edged Holy Blade: Attack +50%. In exchange, defense decreases.
• Dimensional Leap: Movement speed +50%. In exchange, hunger increases faster.
• Demon’s Hand: Work speed +90%. In exchange, SAN value decreases faster.

● Many New Pal Animations!

In total, over 100 new movements and animations have been added (swimming, sleeping by your side, idle animations, etc.). The 47 new Pals also feature unique animations, giving them more personality while working in the base.

● Major Improvements in Mount Control

We have improved shooting, sprinting, weapon switching, and behavior while charging abilities during riding, and adjusted the camera.

• You can now cancel a Pal-activated ability with a jump + directional input to dodge better in combat.
• Mounting and dismounting is smoother.
• Larger Pals have an increased range to interact with objects or facilities without dismounting.
• Visual adjustment of the running animations on uneven terrain.

● Overhaul of Work Suitability

The levels of work suitability have been expanded to 10 levels, and the stats of all Pals have been rebalanced. Every time a Pal levels up (star upgrade via juicer), one of its work suitability levels increases. Upon reaching the maximum rank, all work suitability levels of the Pal increase. Additionally, the item “Work Mastery Handbook I” has been added.

● Catch Bonus Requirements Adjusted

The number of catches required for the full catch bonus has been reduced from 12 to 5. You can now advance into new regions faster.

● Condensation (Juicing) Adjusted

The number of Pals needed for maximum rank has been drastically reduced (from a total of 116 to 48 Pals). This significantly reduces the grind during training.

● Further Adjustments & Improvements

• The inheritance rules for active abilities during breeding have changed: Inherited abilities are now chosen randomly from the three active skill slots of the parent Pals.
• The cost to reset Pal soul enhancements at the altar has been significantly reduced.
• The egg incubation time in newly created worlds with the difficulty level “Normal” and “Hard” has been halved.
• Elemental damage bonuses from legendary passive abilities like “Flame Emperor”, “Sea Emperor” etc. have been increased.
• “Legend”, “Rare”, “Robust Body”, and “Diamond Body” have been strengthened.
• The passive ability “Nocturnal” has been renamed to “Insomnia”.
• During respawn, players can now also choose other fast travel points besides their base or starting point.
• The Alt key can now be freely assigned in the menu.
• The assortment of Pal merchants and black market traders has been regionally adjusted; prices are now more closely based on the stats of the Pals.
• Base and group Pals no longer lose SAN value when taking damage. Negative effects from hunger, fractures, etc., have been reduced.
• Jetragon’s maximum endurance has been increased. Lovander is now of the Darkness type.

▼ Combat

● Major Overhaul of Player Movements

• All player animations have been revamped for better response time and control.

• Pals in the group can now deal as much or more damage as the player themselves.
• The usability of hard-hitting skills like Dragon Meteor has been improved.

Many new active abilities have been added. For example: Fuddler can dig underground and breach beneath opponents; Starryon has received a charging attack; Broncherry Aqua delivers a water tackle that throws opponents away.

● Improved Tower Bosses

Each tower boss now has a visually completely overhauled tower with unique design. Some bosses utilize new movements and abilities.

The time limit has been reduced from 10 to 5 minutes; boss stats have been adjusted accordingly to make battles snappier. (To unlock the hard mode, the boss in the Azure Alliance tower must be defeated).

● New Attack Command for Pals

By clicking the mouse wheel or pressing the right stick while targeting, you can directly command your Pal: “Attack this opponent!”

● Combat Improvements for Wild Pals!

Wild Pals behave smarter in combat: dog Pals bite, horse Pals use repeated charge attacks, and fast Pals strategically retreat after their own attack.

● Arena Legend!

A new arena rank awaits you! The match duration in the arena has been reduced from 5 to 2 minutes (opponent stats have been adjusted accordingly).

● Further Adjustments & Improvements

• Group Pals now preferentially focus on targets near the player and only move quickly in combat.
• The durability of armors decreases more slowly. Captured NPCs use their original weapons.
• Dodge rolls shorten the duration of burning or mud effects.
• Drawing a bow can be canceled with the reload button.
• Players can now switch arrow types with compatible bows (fire/poison arrows). Pure fire and poison bows have been removed from the tech tree.

Usable at the operation table. Consumed upon use, granting the Pal powerful, lasting passive abilities.

▼ Important Note on Mods

The use of mods may lead to crashes or data loss in version 1.0. If issues occur:

Pocketpair’s Closing Word: After more than two years in Early Access, Palworld has finally reached its official release. To all Pal tamers who have accompanied us up to this point: Thank you very much! To fully enjoy the new experience, we recommend starting with a completely new character. Of course, you can also continue your adventure with your old save files.

Now you know everything you need to know about Patch 1.0 of Palworld. Actually, the patch notes for 1.0 were released a little earlier than the official launch. However, no one could read them: Palworld shows you all patch notes right now, but you can’t read them
