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.

Best regions to farm Coal (4)
Regions where the 2 dropping Pals naturally spawn, ranked by combined drop rate and spawn density. The top region is the recommended base location if Coal is your main farming target.
| Region | Pals there | Level range | Farm score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astral Mountains | Blazamut, Menasting | Lv. 35–45 | 2.64 |
| Sakurajima (DLC) | Blazamut, Menasting | Lv. 45–51 | 1.32 |
| Feybreak (DLC) | Blazamut, Menasting | Lv. 50–55 | 0.66 |
| Verdant Brook | Blazamut, Menasting | Lv. 40–45 | 0.00 |
Score = drop% × spawn-density summed across every Coal-dropping Pal that spawns in the region. Higher = denser farming, fewer travel breaks.
