Key Takeaways:

  • There is no stat respec in Palworld, so allocate your points wisely.
  • Focus on HP, stamina, and weight when allocating stat points.
  • Utilize TM trees to teach your Pals new skills.
  • Understand the type effectiveness chart to maximize your battle strategies.

Stat Allocation: HP, Stamina, and Weight

One of the first things Moxsy wishes he knew is that there is no stat respec in Palworld. This means that every time you level up and allocate stat points, those points are permanent. Moxsy recommends focusing on HP, stamina, and weight for optimal gameplay. HP is crucial for surviving tough battles, especially since dying results in dropping all your items on the ground. Stamina allows for longer periods of activity, and weight determines how much you can carry. Moxsy advises against investing points in work speed, as Pals can perform tasks more efficiently.

TM Trees: Teaching Pals New Skills

Moxsy highlights the importance of TM trees in Palworld. These trees can be found scattered throughout the maps and contain skills that you can teach your Pals. The skills are one-time uses and can be beneficial when starting out. For example, you can teach your water-type Pal ground moves to counter electricity-type enemies. There are no restrictions on which Pal can learn which move, allowing for diverse strategies. The skills do not need to be equipped; they become part of your Pal’s available moveset as they level up.

Type Effectiveness: Understanding the Chart

Understanding type effectiveness is crucial for successful battles in Palworld. Moxsy explains that each type has one strength and one weakness, similar to Pokémon. For example, dark-type moves are strong against neutral types but weak against water types. By utilizing Pals with matching elements or those that deal more damage to specific types, you can maximize your damage output in boss fights and dungeons. The type effectiveness chart can be found in the Survival Guide.

Swapping Pals and Base Building

Moxsy shares two essential strategies for efficient gameplay. Firstly, swapping out Pals during boss fights can make them more manageable, even if your Pals are underleveled. By constantly swapping Pals, you can avoid damage and increase your party’s overall power. Secondly, when building your base, choose a flat surface and avoid overlapping with water. Building on flat terrain allows for easier placement of structures, while avoiding water prevents limitations on building options. Additionally, Moxsy advises building near ore deposits for easy access to metal resources.

Work Suitability and Passives

Moxsy emphasizes the importance of understanding work suitability and Pal passives. Each Pal has a specialization and work suitability, which determines their tasks on your base. Handiwork is ideal for building, lumbering for gathering wood, and medicine production for creating medicine. Moxsy recommends having specialized Pals for specific tasks to maximize efficiency. Additionally, leveling up Pals through the condenser can enhance their passives, making them more effective in combat or specific tasks.

Capturing Pals and Using Map Markers

When capturing Pals, Moxsy suggests throwing the Pal sphere from behind or while they’re sleeping to increase your capture chance. Additionally, stunning Pals with a stun baton increases your chance of capturing them. For difficult captures, leaving the area and returning can reset the Pal’s awareness, allowing for easier captures. Lastly, Moxsy advises using map markers to mark important locations, such as dungeons, which are not automatically marked on the map. This helps with resource farming and navigation.

Moxsy’s Palworld guide is a treasure trove of valuable tips for beginners. From optimizing stat allocation and teaching Pals new skills to efficient base building and capturing strategies, these insights will help you navigate the world of Palworld with confidence.
