How to get Legend
Random roll
The game's passive table puts Legend in none of its random-roll pools (AddPal, AddRarePal, AddWorldTreePal and AddMutationPal are all false), so it does not appear on a Pal by chance.
None of the 61 implants grafts Legend, and the Pal Surgery Table does not offer it for gold. The table unlocks at technology level 38.
Breeding Legend onto a Pal
If one parent carries Legend, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:
- Only Legend100%
- 2 passives in all80%
- 3 passives in all63%
- 4 passives in all50%
From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.
Stacking and counterparts
A Pal holds up to four passives and never the same one twice. palworld.wiki.gg: If multiple Passive Skills affect the same attribute, their effects will stack unless otherwise stated.
