Discover the most efficient methods to collect Paldium Shards in Palworld. This guide details tips for maximizing your stock and improving your gaming experience.
Few could have predicted Palworld ‘s instant popularity when it launched. This creature-catching survival game became an immediate hit with Xbox and PC gamers.
The basic building elements, fun combat, and huge range of Pals to collect and battle have won over many players. As a result, the game has sold over 3 million copies, with more and more players joining the fun via Xbox Game Pass.
That said, there is a lot to learn to get the most out of the game. Particularly noteworthy are the many elements and materials that the world offers. One of the most important is the Paldium Shard, which plays a major role in building some of Palworld’s most essential items.
So here’s how to get, collect and farm Paldium Shards in Palworld.
Complete Guide to Paldium Shards
At the time of writing this guide, there are four main methods for harvesting Paldium Shards in the game. These methods vary in effectiveness, but it shouldn’t take too long before you have a surplus in camp storage.
Paldium shards on the ground

The easiest method to obtain Paldium Shards is to simply collect them. Look for small, blue, shiny rocks on the ground. It’s actually possible to see these shards from afar during the day, because they shine much brighter than ordinary rocks or stones.
Extract Paldium Shards from normal rocks

It is possible to extract large quantities of Paldium shards from ordinary rocks. This is a great method of farming, mainly because players will need a considerable amount of stone over the course of a game. Basically, this will work as a passive income from Paldium Shards, while mining another material.

The simplest and quickest method for accumulating Paldium Shards from the player is also one that can be used very quickly. After making a simple Stone Pickaxe, look for large rocks with blue veins on its surface. These consist exclusively of Paldium Shards and offer a quick and lucrative way to replenish your stock.
Use a Crusher in the camp to let the Pals do the work

While this is not a viable method early in the game, it is by far the most effective once unlocked. Crushers are devices available at level 8 of the tech tree and players should unlock them immediately. Essentially, the Crusher destroys existing stone in the camp to extract Paldium Shards, just like players do manually.
This has two advantages. First, by the time this becomes an available option, there will likely be a massive surplus of stone in the camp. Second, a Pal can be assigned to the task and fill the machine with stone, allowing the camp to generate the resource without any player intervention.
The only limitation is that it requires a Pal with the Watering ability to operate the machine, and players cannot do it themselves. Teafant is a great choice among the Pals available early in the game.
These are all the methods currently available to obtain Paldium Shards in Palworld. With players continually advancing through the game, new methods will likely appear, and this guide will be updated to reflect them.
