Pal Fluids are necessary for many things in Palworld, but they aren’t as abundantly available as some of the other widely-demanded resources in the game.
Whether you’re trying to make Cement or a Hot Spring for your Pals to relax in, you’re going to need Pal Fluids to do so. Oftentimes, you can rely on Wandering Merchants to help fill an item deficit, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Pal Fluids.
Do any Merchants sell Pal Fluids in Palworld?
There are no Black Market vendors or Wandering Merchants that sell Pal Fluids. I’ve checked every village in Palworld, asked Black Market vendors, and even chanced upon Wandering Merchants in the wild, and I’m sorry to say you cannot buy Pal Fluids anywhere in this game. Duneshelter even boasts a Merchant that sells the even rarer High Quality Pal Oil, but it seems Pal Fluids are where they draw the line, for whatever reason.
This poses a large issue when it comes to manufacturing Cement, which is needed often at higher levels and calls for a large amount of Pal Fluids. There aren’t any Pals that automatically produce Pal Fluids when assigned to a farm either, so the ways you can get this item are very limited.
The best way to get Pal Fluids in Palworld
The best way to get Pal Fluids is by capturing and butchering Water-Type Pals. It’s morbid, but nearly all Water Pals drop Pal Fluids when captured or killed.
Capturing a Pal to butcher it later effectively doubles the amount of Pal Fluids you can get from a single Pal.
It doesn’t help that some of the cutest Pals are Water-types, which means you eventually have to butcher the most adorable critters to optimize your Pal Fluid acquisition. A few early-game Pals that give Fluids are:
- Pengullet
- Teafant
- Fuack
- Celaray
You can find all four of these Pals early on near the Plateau of Beginnings, so you shouldn’t have any trouble gathering Pal Fluids. Indeed, it isn’t the availability that makes it difficult, but the morality. Of course, you don’t need to harm Pals if you don’t want to. Catching Water Pals will give you Pal Fluids, it’s just that using the meat cleaver to butcher Water Pals will give you a lot more. If you’d prefer to keep your humanity while grinding for Pal Fluids, it will take longer. You can decide for yourself whether it’s worth it.
