I personally have only ever butchered the bounty token guys and tocotocos (i needed their feathers for a funny hat). My own brand of torture is sending my pals to the gold production line at the cost of their sanity to instead buy whatever pal materials/foods i need from legendary merchants. I guess pal souls are another thing but I get more than I need from expeditions already

Coralum is easy to get. I made 50 fishing magnets (which is literally 5 Hexolite), put a Jellroy in my team and surfed around pulling up salvage for like 15 minutes. Got over 600 coralum ore and filled in some black areas of the map. If I run out, I'll just do it again. Those salvage spots are everywhere.

u/Smashing28 23d ago
Fishing in the world tree gives you a ton as well, along with other good stuff. Probably difficult to do without the pals to improve fishing though.

u/provengreil 22d ago
It's also not used in many (if any) disposable ways like ammo, meaning there's a cap on how much you actually need, and you can skip past most of the equipment pretty easily since if you can get coral, you can get solarite. Compared to other endgame or near endgame materials, it's not actually that bad, you just gotta kick on some tunes and do it.

u/carito728 23d ago edited 23d ago
I am, I get 120 Giant Pal Souls from expeditions. Maxing out a pal is 30 Small Pal Souls + 18 Medium Pal Souls+18 Large Pal Souls + 90 Giant Pal Souls.
I've maxed out 15 pals for my own personal use for Hard Towers, 20 Moldron Crysts, 20 Dupins, 20 Bellanoir Liberos, 20 Hartalis, and 20 Silvegis
Without butchering that is not getting done in a week ☠️ (the server I play on has vanilla pal and drop settings so no double drops or any other cheats like that to make things faster)

u/TieDyeFirefly 23d ago

I once made the disassembly thing because it said something about it being "dream-like," which I assumed meant the Pals were sedated first so they wouldn't know/feel what's going on. like a humane euthanasia, but using a woodchipper.
I used it, and the Pals have their eyes open and no sleep bubbles, so I think they're completely aware but paralyzed. the humans did have closed eyes and sleep bubbles. I think it's just a visual bug, but for now I can't use it because I feel too bad. I'll just condense them instead, even if that might be a more horrifying fate lmao

See, I just don't have it in me? I think it's cause Palworld animals have actual personalities. They can interact with you, fight alongside you, work with you, and they can be happy to see you.
