How to Farm Paldium Crystals in Palworld

If you want to know how to far Paldium Crystals in Palworld, we are going to explain the best ways to get these Crystals, which are also known as Ancient Civilization Parts. We will also talk about the different uses for Paldium Crystals, as well as the situation with the item’s name. Let’s get into it.

Where to Farm Paldium Crystals in Palworld

There are several places where you can farm Paldium Crystals in Palworld, which may also be known to some of you as Ancient Civilization Parts. More on that later on. The most consistent source of this material are bosses. Whether you kill or capture them, you’ll get some Paldium Crystals. Even some of the earliest bosses you can fight will grant you at least three. These include Chillet, Penking, Gumoss, Azurobe, and others. And, yes, the boss monsters do respawn, making them ideal for farming purposes.

However, that’s not your only potential source of Paldium Crystals, just the best one. Looting chests and mining rocks in caves can sometimes net you a few Ancient Civilization Parts. However, those can’t be predicted with any certainty.

How to Use Paldium Crystals in Palworld?

Now that we know how and where to farm Paldium Crystals, aka Ancient Civilization Parts, what do you actually use them for? As far as we know, they are only used to build more powerful shields. Specifically, the Mega, Giga and Hyper Shields. Each require an increasing amount of Paldium Crystals, as well as Paldium Fragments. Do not mix the two up; they are not the same thing. Anyways, here are the recipes for the three shields.

• Mega Shield – 5x Paldium Crystals / Ancient Civilization Parts, 30x Paldium Fragments
• Giga Shield – 15x Paldium Crystals / Ancient Civilization Parts, 50x Paldium Fragments
• Hyper Shield – 30x Paldium Crystals / Ancient Civilization Parts, 100x Paldium Fragments

Are Ancient Civilization Parts and Paldium Crystals Same Item?

Yes, as far as we can tell, the Paldium Crystals and the Ancient Civilization Parts are the same item in Palworld, so it doesn’t matter which one you farm. They have the same icon and the same description. It’s really confusing, especially since the icon clearly looks more like a piece of ancient technology; definitely not a crystal. I don’t know what is the cause of this discrepancy. It seems like an update changed the name from Ancient Parts to Paldium Crystals for some people, maybe even most, but not all.
