Recommended Crude Oil harvesters

• 
  Astegonmining Lv 7

• 
  Blazamutmining Lv 7

Pals that drop Crude Oil

• 
  Sootseer1 Crude Oil per kill

  Drops 1 Crude Oil at 50% rate — not a primary farm path, but useful filler if you happen to fight one.

• 
  Kikit1 Crude Oil per kill

  The same 1 at 50%. Three Pals drop Crude Oil and all three drop it on a coin flip, so none of them replaces an extractor.

• 
  Maraith1 Crude Oil per kill

  1 at 50%, and nocturnal — Maraith has no daytime spawns at all, so this is a night route or nothing.

Ways to get Crude Oil that are not on this map

The wells above are one route of 15. The biggest single haul is 300 in one pickup — more than a base of extractors returns in a cycle — and not one of these needs an extractor, or a well.

Quantities and chances come from the game's own loot tables, the same source the item pages use. A chance under 100% is the roll for that slot, not a guess.

Strategy tips

• Crude Oil wells aren't broken with a pickaxe — build a Crude Oil Extractor (Technology Lv 50) on top of a well. It needs a power supply, not a Pal.
• Wells are spread evenly across Feybreak, the mainland deserts, and the southern islands — pick the region nearest your existing endgame base.
• Crude Oil refines into Plasteel, which goes into advanced firearms, missiles and high-tier base structures. Polymer is a different chain — it is made from High Quality Pal Oil, a Pal drop.
