What Ancient Technology Points buy →

Ancient Technology Points buy only the ancient column of the tech tree: 51 technologies costing 182 points together. Besides these manuals, each tower boss pays 5 on its first defeat; the tech tree lists every ancient technology.

How to get this item

Not crafted, and no Pal drops it. It comes out of the world instead — 44 sources, the best of them Sakurajima enemy camp — Grade 3 at 100%. Every one of them is listed below.

Every source of Ancient Technical Manual

44 sources

Drop chances below are computed from Palworld’s own loot tables, so they are the game’s numbers rather than an estimate from play. Where a row names a grade, the chance is for a container of that grade — a snowfield chest holds four different pools and only one of them pays this item, so a figure averaged over all of them would be lower and would answer a different question.
