Palworld 1.0 is now live, and it brings many new items into its already massive library of materials. One notable mention is Hardwood, a type of lumber used in various crafting recipes, including Ultimate Spheres and Double-Barreled Shotguns. So, look no further, as this Palworld Hardwood Farming Guide helps you find and gather this resource en masse.

How to Get Hardwood in Palworld: Best Locations & Pals to Farm

Hardwood is a mid- to late-game resource found in different yet specific locations in Palworld. Those who opted to start a new save file should generally work their way until they access the Twilight Dunes. Here, cut the Mesquite Trees to farm Hardwood and Fiber. This region is also the home of the Anubis Alpha Pal. Consider capturing this Ground-type Pal, as it’s an excellent all-rounder with great combat abilities and top-tier Work Suitability levels. Over time, you’ll reach Sakurajima Island. Here, you can farm for more Hardwood by cutting down the Sakura Trees. Find these plants surrounding the Dancing Sakura Shrine in the northwest of the island. Once at the late game, build an Ancient Material Synthesizer using 50x Paloxite Ingot and 10x Ancient Civilization Core. With this structure at your base, assign a Pal with a high-level Lumbering Work Suitability, such as Celesdir and Hartalis, to automatically produce Hardwood at the base, along with other resources like Chromite, Hexolite Quartz, and Coralum Ore. Hunting Pals for Hardwood is also an option. If you choose this route, focus your attention on the following Grass Pals that drop this resource upon capture or defeat:

• Mossanda
• Mossanda Lux
• Wumpo Botan
• Palumba

While farming mass quantities of Hardwood in Palworld is possible as a solo player, it can be easier to gather this resource in multiplayer. Join Palworld servers with allies that can help you collect this material, allowing you to use it sooner rather than later.
