Palworld Progression Guide — Level 1 to 80, What Unlocks When

The route has 7 bands. Each step names what the band opens; the full list with levels and gates sits in the section of the same name below.

The first fifteen levels give you a Palbox, a Ranch and the workbenches that let Pals do the crafting.

Levels 16 to 30 open breeding, the expedition station and electric production, which is where a base starts running itself.

Levels 31 to 45 add the Summoning Altar, the first mines and the Guild Chest that moves items between bases.

Levels 46 to 58 bring sulfur, crude oil, quartz and the tools that open the first Hexolite-grade materials.

Levels 59 to 65 turn Hexolite and Coralum into gear and add the Thermal Core power component.

Levels 66 to 73 open the Ancient Furnace and Workbench, the Soralite Quarry and the first gold production.

Levels 74 to 80 are the World Tree endgame: the Ancient Relic Recycler, Paloxite Ingots, the Ancient Sphere and the last wing and beam gear.

A resource is out of reach until its tool unlocks, and the tool unlocks at a level. This table lines the two up and links the farming guide for each.

Per paldb, levelling pays 6 technology points per level, 474 by Lv 80, and each fast-travel unlock adds 1. The regular tree costs 1,413 in all, so the rest of the budget has to come from fast-travel points and from choosing what to skip.

Ancient technologies use a separate currency. Per paldb, a tower boss pays 5 Ancient Technology Points the first time you beat it (the game also pays them for other powerful enemies), and the whole Ancient column costs 182. Only a few rows go further and name the tower you must beat first: the Breeding Farm, the egg incubators, the extra weapon holsters and Triple Jump Boots carry a "Must defeat …" line. The mines and the Guild Chest do not; they need the points, not a particular tower.
