InPalworld, you can collect and craft a wide variety of items, ranging from common resources like wood and ores to rare materials like chromite and crude oil. In the early game, exploring the world and gathering resources feels fun and easy since beginner crafting recipes only require small amounts. However, as you progress, you will need large quantities of materials to craft higher-tier items.
This is whereexpeditionscome in. Expeditions inPalworldallow you to send a group of Pals to collect various items and resources. If you are new to the game or unfamiliar with expeditions, this guide is perfect for you. Follow this guide to learn how to unlock expeditions and send your Pals to gather free loot.
How to Unlock Expeditions in Palworld
To unlock expeditions, you must build thePal Expedition Station, a special Pal structure that becomes available atlevel 15. Open theTechnologytab, scroll down totier 15, and unlock the Pal Expedition Station by spending two Technology Points.
The Pal Expedition Station is a large structure, but it requires only a few materials to build. Collect the following items to construct it:
Once you have gathered the required materials, open Build Mode, navigate to the Pal tab, and select the Pal Expedition Station. Since the structure is quite large, ensure you have enough space in your base. You can place it in a corner since Pals do not need to interact with it, meaning it will not interfere with their work.
Getting Started with the Pal Expedition Station
Once the Pal Expedition Station is built, you can start sending Pals on expeditions. Head to its entrance and select Open to access the destination menu. From here, you can choose where to send your Pals.

After selecting a location, click on it and choose the Pals you want to send. You can use theAuto-Assignbutton at the bottom to automatically select the best Pals from yourPal Box. Keep adding Pals until you reach the Recommended Firepower for the expedition. Once ready, pressStartto send them on their mission. You can choose to add more Pals for extra firepower, which will help shorten the expedition duration. After the duration ends, you can collect expedition rewards from the Pal Expedition Station.
Use yourstrongest Pals, especially condensed Pals, to meet the Recommended Firepower goal. Highly condensed Pals provide a high boost in firepower.
Expeditions inPalworldlast 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on the location. However, you may reduce the time byexceeding the Recommended Firepower.If you have many high-level Pals (around level 50-60), sending them on an expedition can significantly shorten its duration. There’s no need to worry if you do not have many Pals yet. You can still send a smaller group, but this will reduce both the quality and quantity of the rewards you receive.

With 14 different locations and only one expedition allowed at a Pal Expedition Station, choosing the best location can be confusing. Every location offers useful rewards, but depending on your progression and goals, some expeditions are more valuable than others. Here are some of the best expedition spots inPalworld:
As there are many unique rewards available from each expedition, it is up to you to decide which items you need for your playthrough.
