Palworld: Finding Leather

Who drops leather? Currently, there are several Pals that can quickly provide you with leather especially in the beginning:

  • Foxpark: A fire Pal that you can find in your starting area and therefore has a low level.
  • Fuack: You can find it right when you leave the starting zone and stay west on the beach. You will encounter several of them. They also have a low level.
  • Eikthyrdeer: Is particularly worthwhile because it drops a lot of leather (3 – 4 pieces). Eikthyrdeer, however, is at least at level 9 or 10 and thus still very strong at the beginning.
  • Melpaca: Looks like an alpaca and can appear with a bit of luck in the starting zone. However, it can also only be found at higher levels.
  • Direhowl: You won’t find it in the starting zone, but only after you leave the starting zone northwest into the autumn forest. They travel in packs, which you can already hear howling.
  • Chillet: The water and dragon Pal can be found north of your starting zone. This boss Pal, at level 11, is also easier to defeat than other bosses in the beginning.
  • Direhowl: Also found in the northwest or north of the small settlement (fast travel point). They often hunt in packs and drop leather as well as money and even rubies.

In the beginning, we recommend not to kill all the Pals, but instead to catch them. Because catching Pals is one of many ways to level up quickly in Palworld. You will unlock many strong buildings and items only with advanced levels.

Producing leather: If you want to produce leather regularly, the livestock farm may also be worthwhile. Here, certain Pals will wander and drop materials such as leather, eggs, or wool after a while. You can unlock the livestock farm at level 5.

For the livestock farm, you need the following materials:

  • 50 wood
  • 20 stones
  • 30 fibers

You can find wood and stones in the wild, and you get fibers when you chop down trees as a byproduct of wood.

Pals that you can use to produce leather on the farm are:

  • Melpaca
  • Vixy
