Palworld Ore can be smelted and refined into useful Ingots, and you can farm Ore by mining respawning rocks found all over the map. Once you've amassed as much Ore as you can carry, you can take it all back to a furnace at your base in Palworld and start smelting to get useful Ingots that you can use to craft some of the game's best items. With that in mind, I've explained how to farm Ore in Palworld and get Ingots quickly, earning dozens every minute without even having to do anything!

How to farm Ore in Palworld

Ore is dropped when you mine regular boulders, but not very quickly. It's far better to find the shiny boulders with a gold/yellow tint to them and mine those, as they only drop Ore when hit with a pickaxe (or any other attack, but pickaxes are fastest). These are found all over the map, including in Dungeons, but here's the important point: given time, Ore boulders respawn, meaning that if you find one, you can keep coming back to it and farming it for Ore over and over.

Do Pals evolve in Palworld?

The best place to farm Ore, in that case, is actually the same as our preferred spot for the best Palworld base locations (marked on the attached guide and in the image above), a plateau near the start of the game where there are numerous Ore boulders for the player to mine next to each other. Setting up a base there is ideal, as Pals will just start automatically working through the various rocks when they have nothing else to do, even putting them into storage chests. With a few mining Pals at work, you can get dozens of ore every minute, and the rocks respawn fast enough that there'll be a constant trickle of ore to work from.

How to craft Ingots using Ore in Palworld

To get Ingots in Palworld, which you can use to craft a range of items, including some from Palworld legendary schematics, you need to do the following:

  1. Hit a rock with a Pickaxe to obtain Ore.
  2. Reach level 10.
  3. Spend two technology points to get the Primitive Furnace.
  4. Catch a Pal with the Kindling quality (usually a Fire-type like Foxparks).
  5. Put that Kindling Pal to work in the base and build the Furnace. 
  6. Add two Ore into the Furnace to refine them into an Ingot.
  7. Wait for your Kindling Pal to finish refining the Ingot.
