Leveling in Palworld can be a painful experience, especially in early-game, and especially if you aren’t sure about all the tricks you have at your disposal to level effectively. Here is how you can increase resource and XP gain in Palworld. 

Palworld has a pretty simple levelling and XP system that’s only made slightly more difficult by the fact that farming XP and resources can be a slow process. As a result, the game can be a real grind, and ultimately you’d want to know tricks to speed the grind up. 

There are a few ways you can do this, and the tricks in this guide are accessible to players who don’t want to spend too much of their time trying to figure out how to get resources and XP in the fastest way possible. 

Here is how to increase your resource and XP gain in Palworld. 

How to increase resource and XP gain in Palworld

Increasing XP and resource gain in Palworld is as simple as adjusting your World Settings to your liking

Here are the steps you need to increase your gains: 

  1. Hit Start Game at the bottom of the screen from the main menu. 
  2. Select ‘Change World Settings.’ 
  3. Scroll down to ‘Custom Difficulty’ under the Difficulty tab. 
  4. Choose ‘Custom Settings’ and adjust EXP rate and Gatherable Items Multiplier.

You can change your Palworld World settings in the Custom Settings menu.

In Custom Settings, there are a list of sliders that let you change a variety of things in your World. However, we’re going to focus on the EXP rate and Gatherable Items Multiplier sliders. 

EXP rate will adjust how quickly you can earn XP in your playthrough. If you’d like to increase it, make sure you adjust the slider in Custom Settings to a higher rate. This will ensure that you are gaining XP quicker and slowing that grind down. 

The Gatherable Items Multiplier will adjust how quickly you gather resources. Increasing this slider will have you and your Pals gather a larger amount of resources at a time, which will significantly cut down on the time it takes to get everything you need. 

Of course, if you find that the grind is a bit fast, you can always decrease these sliders in Custom Settings.

How to gather resources quickly in Palworld

While adjusting your Palworld settings is the first step, gathering resources quickly comes with knowing where to find them and what Pals are best for each resource

Each Pal has different skills suited for resource gathering and transport.

Resource gathering in Palworld is the foundation of managing your base and your Pals. Resource locations are scattered throughout the map and the Pals who are best at collecting them even more so. 

Here are a few tips to cut down on time for gathering resources: 

  1. Establish a base near a resource rich area. 
  2. Get to know the map and where to find the resources you need.
  3. Build a base near a water area to quickly gather Pal Fluid. 
  4. Utilize Pals that are best for each resource. 
  5. Make sure you put Pals with high Gathering and Transport skills on the job.

In tandem with the Gatherable Items Multiplier and these tips, you’ll probably get enough resources to get high-quality items and level your Technology quickly.
