Palworld lets you gather materials, build equipment, and explore dangerous areas with your Pals. In the World Tree region, two useful resources create a problem: Paloxite deposits and Mythical Wood trees can disappear before you collect them. To farm Paloxite and Mythical Wood in Palworld, you need World Tree Holy Water or a Pal with a suitable World Tree passive in your party. This guide explains both methods, how to find a passive Pal, and how to make longer gathering trips less frustrating.
How to Farm Paloxite and Mythical Wood in Palworld
Key Takeaways
- Paloxite Ore and Mythical Wood are gathered in the World Tree region.
- Drink World Tree Holy Water to stop nearby resources from disappearing for a limited time.
- For repeated farming, keep a Pal with a World Tree passive in your active party.
- The Plasma Multicutter can gather both ore and wood, so you do not need to switch tools.
If a deposit or tree vanishes when you walk toward it, you are missing the protection needed to gather World Tree resources. Start with Holy Water if that is what you have. Once you find a suitable passive Pal, keep it in your party for a more relaxed farming run.
Why do World Tree resources disappear?
Paloxite and Mythical Wood do not behave like ordinary ore and trees. In the World Tree region, they can vanish as you approach without the right protection. It may look as though you reached a depleted spot, but moving to another deposit will not fix the problem.
There are two ways to prevent this: use World Tree Holy Water or carry a Pal with a World Tree passive that stops these resources from vanishing. You only need one method active to begin gathering.
Check your party before setting out. A Pal stored at your base or in a Palbox will not help you collect resources in the field.
Farm Paloxite and Mythical Wood with Holy Water
World Tree Holy Water is the simplest way to begin if you have not found a passive Pal. You can obtain it from Pals in the World Tree region, then drink it before approaching a deposit or tree.
Follow this order to avoid wasting the effect:
- Bring the tool you plan to use and make room in your inventory.
- Find Paloxite deposits or Mythical Wood trees before drinking.
- Use World Tree Holy Water while you are still away from the resources.
- Approach the nodes and gather as much as you can.
- Drink more Holy Water when the effect ends.
The protection is temporary. If a resource disappears partway through a long session, check whether the Holy Water effect has worn off before assuming the area is bugged.
Pocketpair extended the Holy Water effect in a post-launch update and added more ways to obtain it. Even so, it remains a consumable, so it is less convenient than a passive Pal for players planning to gather large amounts.
Which tool should you bring?
The Plasma Multicutter is useful because it can collect both Paloxite and Mythical Wood. That makes it easy to mine a deposit, move to a nearby tree, and continue without changing equipment.
If you have not unlocked it, bring a suitable pickaxe for ore and an axe for wood. Check your tool’s condition before a long trip, especially if you expect to clear several resource clusters.
Use a World Tree passive for longer runs
The better long-term setup is a Pal whose World Tree passive prevents resources from disappearing. Keep that Pal in your active party while you travel and gather. Unlike Holy Water, you do not have to stop and drink another item when a short effect runs out.
You can look for these Pals among wild spawns throughout the World Tree region. Check a Pal’s passive description rather than relying only on its appearance. The video demonstration also shows a blue aura on Pals with World Tree passives and on the player when one is in the party. If you do not see an aura, check whether aura effects are enabled in your settings, then read the passive description to be sure.
This method does not make mining or chopping automatic. It simply gives you the protection needed to approach the resources and use your tools without the nodes vanishing.
Can Ominous Eggs give you a passive Pal?
Yes. Ominous Eggs can appear at egg spawn points in the World Tree region and hatch into Pals with a World Tree passive. They give you another way to find a suitable party member if you have not caught one in the wild.
Collect eggs as you explore rather than treating egg hunting as a separate trip. The supplied video also suggests bringing Grintale for a chance to gain an extra egg when collecting one. That is an optional efficiency tip; your immediate goal is to hatch a Pal with the resource-protection effect.
A simple repeatable farming route
You do not need a complicated map route to make each trip productive. The key is to prepare your protection first, then collect both materials as you move through the World Tree instead of visiting only ore or only trees.
- Enter the World Tree with Holy Water or your passive Pal ready.
- Bring the Plasma Multicutter, or pack both a pickaxe and an axe.
- Gather visible Paloxite deposits before moving to nearby Mythical Wood trees.
- Pick up useful eggs and relics along your path.
- Return when your inventory is full or your tool needs attention.
A flying mount with movement-speed passives can help you travel between gathering spots. Do not let speed replace preparation, though: reaching nodes faster will not help if you forgot Holy Water and left your passive Pal behind.
For a short first trip, Holy Water is enough. For repeated trips, prioritize finding a World Tree passive Pal. That single change removes the need to watch a consumable effect while you mine and chop.
Other ways to get the materials
Direct gathering is not your only option. The Ancient Relic Recycler can turn relics into World Tree materials, including Paloxite and Mythical Wood. World Tree expeditions can also provide another source as you progress.
These methods are helpful when you have relics to process or want resources from activities you are already doing. If you need a large stack quickly and have a working protection setup, gathering deposits and trees yourself is the more direct approach.
The supplied video also describes party setups for reducing tool durability loss and carried resource weight. Those builds may make long trips easier, but their exact percentages and Pal requirements should be tested before you plan an entire farming setup around them. Get a reliable gathering method working first; optimize your loadout afterward.
Common farming mistakes
Walking up to nodes without protection: If ore or trees vanish on approach, drink World Tree Holy Water or add a suitable passive Pal to your party before trying again.
Leaving the passive Pal in storage: The Pal needs to travel with you. Check your active party, not just the Pals you own.
Drinking Holy Water too early: Find a gathering area and ready your tools first. That leaves more of the temporary effect for collecting resources.
Bringing only a woodcutting or mining tool: Pack both tools unless you have the Plasma Multicutter. Paloxite and Mythical Wood are worth collecting on the same trip.
Can you farm Paloxite without World Tree Holy Water?
Yes. Keep a Pal with the appropriate World Tree passive in your active party. Its protection lets you approach Paloxite deposits without repeatedly drinking Holy Water.
Why does Mythical Wood disappear when I get close?
World Tree resources can vanish when you approach without protection. Use World Tree Holy Water or a qualifying passive Pal before moving toward the tree.
Is the Plasma Multicutter required?
No. It is convenient because it handles both ore and wood. You can use a pickaxe and an axe if you have not obtained the Plasma Multicutter.
Should you recycle relics or gather resources yourself?
Use the Ancient Relic Recycler if you already have relics to process. For a focused Paloxite and Mythical Wood trip, bring protection and gather the deposits and trees directly.
