Palworld has a ton of resources to keep track of, and you'll find yourself prioritising the resources you need to craft base materials and pal gear. However, one resource you might ignore in the early game is Gold. Gold is the currency of the island of Palpagos and while it's not very useful early on, you'll soon want to make Gold quickly.
Gold is used at the various merchants around Palpagos, either for trading and purchasing resources for crafting or medicine or to buy Pals from merchants and add them to your collection. It adds a layer of convenience that's hard to ignore once you get a taste of it. So today, we'll be looking at some of the best methods to farm Gold fast in Palworld.
While you're here, also learn how to increase your capture chance and our full list of Pals.
Best ways to get gold fast in Palworld
Defeat bosses
The quickest way to make Gold is by defeating bosses and high-level enemies. It's not because they drop a lot of gold. It's because they drop items such as fine pelts and other expensive loot that can be sold to merchants for a lot of gold. You're also earning XP and collecting other resources during this, so it's an incredibly efficient method.
Sell Schematics
This method requires a bit more effort but can be incredibly rewarding, depending on what you find. Schematics are the blueprints you find in chests around the overworld and in dungeons. You'll usually find these inside chests.
If you want to farm schematics, we suggest marking dungeon locations and going through them. Even uncommon schematics sell for 1000 Gold a piece. In your quest to open chests, you'll also get a lot of gold from the chests themselves.
Sell Pals to Pal Merchant
Besides the regular merchants, you also have the Pal Traders who will sell you Pals and buy your Pals. A lot of the gold you earn might end up going to these guys, so make sure to take advantage of them, too.
If you're someone who captures a ton of Pals for XP gain purposes, then you can sell them all to the Pal Merchants. While the individual selling cost of common Pals won't be anything impressive, they can stack up to an impressive sum quite quickly.
Fight human enemies
While Palpagos is overrun with dangerous Pals at every corner, it has no shortage of human factions vying for supremacy and control over the island. Fighting and defeating these hostiles in the wild can net you several hundred gold coins per enemy camp. The enemy camps also respawn, so you can take full advantage of this and grind out a whole bunch of gold.
