With Palworld Legendary Schematics, you can craft some of the best gear in the game, from robust armor to deadly weapons. However, these prized items aren't exactly easy to get in Palworld as you've got to hunt down a particular Alpha Boss and hope that it drops one of the Legendary Schematics. Then, you need to gather Palworld Ingots, Palworld Ancient Civilization Parts, or other materials to be able to craft the item at a workbench. We've laid out the locations for every legendary schematic in Palworld, how to find them, and the easiest ways to obtain them.

All legendary schematics in Palworld

The map below shows the location of every legendary schematic in Palworld. Use that in conjunction with the following list to find the specific schematic you want - and keep in mind that all legendary schematics are drops from Alpha Pal Bosses.

Schematics are a random drop from bosses, and not guaranteed, unfortunately. Each time you kill a boss, it has a chance to drop it, in the same way that all good drops are only a chance, not a guarantee. We've heard it said that the highest chance to get the schematic is to catch the Alpha Boss, then use the meat cleaver to manually butcher it, which is the case for materials generally, but I personally haven't caught and butchered enough Alphas to be able to test this definitely, so be careful.

There will also be other schematics in the game beyond those above, possibly including legendary ones, but they are random drops from Pals and chests alike, with no way to ensure them. What we've listed above are fixed legendary schematics that are dropped by specific Alphas.

How to use schematics in Palworld

All Schematics in Palworld, legendary or not, are used the following way:

  1. Obtain the schematic as a drop from defeating or catching Pals.
  2. Keep it in your inventory - don't put it in a chest!
  3. Use the Technology Tree to unlock the "base" version of that item (for example, you'll need to be able to craft a normal Assault Rifle before you can make a legendary one).
  4. Go to a Workbench capable of crafting the base item - there should also be an option to craft a higher quality version to match the schematic.
  5. Superior versions of gear will require far more materials than the regular version.
