To obtain Predator Core items, players must defeat the new Predator Pals that were introduced in the Feybreak update. Unlike other Pals, Predator Pals do not appear with a map icon, making them harder to locate. However, they can be identified by a distinct red light that they emit, particularly noticeable when flying during the night.

As you approach a hostile Pal, you will see the term “Rampaging” displayed above its name and level. This indicates that the Pal is a Predator Pal. Successfully defeating a Predator Pal guarantees at least one Predator Core as a drop.

After defeating a Predator Pal, it is essential to wait a minimum of one in-game day for it to respawn. Once it reappears, players can engage in combat again to continue farming Predator Cores effectively.
