Every source of Crude Oil
15 sourcesDrop 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.

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.
