Verdant Brook
(190, −41) and (291, −19)
Two clusters around the Sealed Realm of the Guardian plateau — the early-mid base-build favourite. ~8 ore nodes neighbour each cluster, so a single base covers two resources.
Coal
OrePal drop
Coal is a key crafting ingredient in Palworld, combined with Ore at an Improved Furnace to produce Refined Ingots. Mined from coal nodes — most common in Mt. Obsidian and the Volcanic region — or dropped by certain fire-type Pals.
Coal often found in caves and other places. Required to create high quality metal.

Named farming clusters for Coal
Density tells you where to settle; specific clusters tell you where to walk in. Each entry below is a tight knot of nodes in the in-game coordinate system, sorted early-to-late game so you can pick by current level.
Twilight Dunes
(−158, −93) and (−98, −121)
The densest coal cluster on Palpagos. Bring Heat Resistant Pelt Armor (Lv 14) or the biome chips your HP. Pairs with the Duneshelter base build.
North of Duneshelter
(327, 485)
~9 coal nodes plus a few ore. Lighter mob density than the inner desert; the spot most players miss because the fast-travel map doesn't advertise it.
Mt. Obsidian
(−570, −652)
Volcano biome — requires Heat Resistant Refined Pelt Armor (Lv 30+) before the heat damage matters. Pairs with Sulfur farming on the same base. Endgame source.

Strategy
Pal-drop farming tips
- Butcher with a Meat Cleaver. Use a Meat Cleaver on a captured drop-Pal to butcher it — the drop table rolls the same as a wild kill, plus you keep the Paldex entry. Cheaper than chain-killing if the Pal is hard to find.
