Thanks to these absolute madlads, all the hard work's already been done; including explaining all the intricacies of the breeding mechanic at its core (including how a hidden Power stat determines the result Egg, not just the Pals used).

The long and short of it is you can't breed rare/higher-level Pals from early available Pals!

As for Fusions, turns out they only come out of hyper-specific pair-ups.

If you're after an alternative, here's a super simple calculator![palworld-breeding.com]

As you start to explore the islands, you might come across nests with brightly coloured eggs - these are wild Pal Eggs that you can hatch with an Egg Incubator!

I highly recommend waiting until you have either the Glider or (preferably) a Flying Pal before going out of your way to hunt down nests, as they're typically nestled in rock faces and on top of cliffs.

Having a PC with a beefy enough GPU will also net you the advantage of Max View Distance (in the options menu), which when combined with a Pal like Nitehawk makes finding new Eggs an absolute breeze.

Here are some example sceenshots of what eggs and nests look like:

To unlock the Egg Incubator, you'll need to either clear the first Syndicate Tower or beat one of the map-marked "boss" Pals to earn Ancient Tech Points and to get Ancient Tech Parts for the build itself.
(it's on the right-hand side, the purple column of the Tech tree c:)

Incubation has some slight variety; Large eggs will take longer to hatch compared to normal-sized, and some eggs have temperature preferences that speed up or slow down their hatching time. The Incubator will tell you what current bonuses are being applied, and hint at what they need in terms of heat or cold.

What an egg hatches into is determined by its element and (largely) the area the Egg was found in, so if you can brave higher level areas, you may just be rewarded handsomely for your efforts. Bosses are also counted in the "field list" for hatching.
(However, small Eggs in higher-level areas can still pop out low-level Paldeck entries.)

They come in several sizes, which denotes their rarity, from Normal > Large > Huge. It seems to directly correlate with the size of what will hatch from that egg; a small Scorching may hatch only Rooby and Foxparks, while Huge can hatch a Suzaku.

Some examples of this logic include:

At Level 19 you'll unlock access to the Breeding Farm technology, which lets you put any female and male Pal together to make an Egg.

To assign Pals to the Breeding Farm, they must be assigned to your Base in the Pal Box first. Pick them up with V and chuck them near the Farm's haybales to assign them to work.

To make a Pal Egg, you also need Cake, placed into the building's own special box. Cakes placed here will completely freeze their spoilage timer!

Cakes are crafted at a Cooking Pot (Level 17) with 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 (Chikipi) Eggs, and 2 Honey.
It takes 1 Cake to make 1 Pal Egg!

You can buy Wheat, Eggs, and Milk from most redcoat merchants, the earliest being in the Small Settlement waypoint. I highly suggest making Wheat Farms, capturing Beegarde to make Honey (in the Ranch), and buying your Eggs/Milk to save the most time, as I'll cover just below.

When breeding two Pals together, their Traits may cross over to the child Egg. This is especially important in Palworld thanks to Pals doing the majority of the player's damage, on top of having explorative/gathering relevant traits like Swift and Mining Foreman.

The expression isn't entirely linear, and even with two Trait-less parents the resulting Egg may have one or more Traits on hatching (mutation). The chances of a Trait being passed down are relatively high, maybe around 1 in every 2-4 Eggs.

That means even Pal parents with only two traits may not have an egg with both of those traits: a Ragnahawk with Swift and another with Aggressive could get both, one, or neither.

Lucky Pals - giant sparkly buggers you can catch - can of course pass down (Lucky), but it does not increase their size. So far I have no proof that an Egg can mutate the Lucky Trait, but it should theoretically be in the pool of mutations.

You're at the point where you want to start crossbreeding for the best Traits and getting numbers for Pal Condensation, you realize you're gonna need cakes.

A lot of cakes.

The quick n' short of it is that you'll need some special stuff to maximize your cake cooking output, because they have incredibly long workloads (take a long time to craft):

• Buy your Eggs
  
• Buy your Milk
  
• Have 2+ Wheat Farms
  
• Have 2+ Mills (Wheat>Flour)
  
• Ranch 2+ Beegardes for Honey
  
• Level 20: Flame Cauldron (boosts Kindling Efficiency)
  
• Level 47: Electric Kitchen (best cooking workstation)
  
• One Jormuntide Ignis for each Kitchen*

*Ragnahawk is a good replacement (level 3 Kindling) as they can also Transport, Jormuntides can literally only do Kindling.

..can be found from Huge Dragon Eggs (not Scorching!), only at the Ruined Fortress City (north side of the volcano island).
Typically you won't even think about getting these before your Electric Kitchen, so you can also just catch them (level ~45) at the Sanctuary a short flight north from that waypoint.

• Build an all-foundation base for best results.
  
• Don't use Alpha Pals if you can help it, they're the most likely to glitch through walls.
  
• Put Pals away before quitting the game, they won't stay at Farms through reloads.

As of patch v0.1.4.0, Pals no longer get hungry while working at a Breeding Farm, meaning you don't need a ready food supply. This patch also changed their work assignments, so they no longer wander off to do other jobs when assigned to the Farm.

This guide is now more about if you want to have a large dedicated area for lots of breeding pairs of Pals at a time, versus being restricted to one, since the issues making it a questionable necessity are thankfully gone!

For the best results to get your Eggs, the ideal scenario is having placed your first base on a wide stretch of land, meaning you have real estate available for a second base right next door.

Why would we want two bases close together?
Short answer: Pals don't breed if you're too far away.
Long answer: ..something something chunk loading. Pals will still breed (to an extent) if you're far away, but it's much more consistent (and less buggy) if you're near enough that the Pals are loaded in.


(Foundation first, and it can't be removed without breaking the box!)

Yes, you can catch Black Market Merchants, and yes, you can have them hang around your base!
You may want to consider finding one to pop in; they can prove invalueable to get rid of excess Pals (if you're not planning to breed enough to Condense).

Of course, you don't have to use each section for a Breeding Farm specifically. Nothing's stopping you from taking any of the sectioned-off rooms and turning it into a production facility, like a wool farm.
Just note that Pals like to clip through walls, and may stray into Farm pens and get stuck.

If you want to pop in a Ranch, I'd advise you to break all of the internal walls that separate each Farm from each other!

Since we've got a whole Googledoc breeding calculator for specific results, I figured to update this with a list of personal (and community) recommendations, mostly for those difficult-to-find catches.

These are ordered by the earliest playtime both parents can be obtained.


*Assuming you crossbreed for Anubis in the first place (and why not with that crafting speed), Faleris is the go-to for top speed at the earliest possible point in the game.

• For extra large Pals, remove any beds in the Breeding Farm before dropping them in, otherwise they'll snap to the beds rather than start breeding.
  
  
• Many large pals have wonky hitboxes; glide at their head/neck and spam V if you're having trouble picking them up.
  
  
• The sweetspot to drop most larger Pals is right between the haybales.
  
  
• To reduce traveltime in a dedicated breeding base, use triangular walls as ramps!
  
  
• If you need storage space due to Pal Condensing, use View Cages. They're 40 slots and not too expensive to make.

If you've just hit Level ~45 and caught your first Jormuntide, you're probably in for a bad time.

These buggers are titanic in size since the only way to get one without crossbreeding is their boss (Alpha) spawn. Their hitbox is unfortunately not their tail, but the very first segment of their neck, as shown:


The best way to grab them is to glide off a 1-tall wall/structure and spam F, or hope they wander towards a wall and stay there long enough for you to grab them by the neck.

Notable crossbreeds from a Jormuntide include:
Suzaku = Suzaku Aqua
Pengullet = Kitsun
Rushoar = Blazehowl

If you don't mind missing out on their unique Trait for +20% Water Attack, here are some crossbreeds for a Jormuntide:

Once you've acquired the best Pal for your job, you might want think about beefing them up, especially as you get towards the (currently) last three boss towers at 45-50.

1. Pal's current Rank Value (blue stars meaning what they'll upgrade to)
   
2. Stats that will be increased (blue being the new values)
   
3. Number of the same Pal that needs to be sacrificed

Why is any of this relevant to the Breeding Farm?
Because the amount of Pals required to sacrifice increases each time you want to increase their Rank Value!

Breeding lots and lots of Pals to fish out the best Traits in a single Egg and then burning the rest into your favorite is usually the best way to go.

• Rank 1: 4
  
• Rank 2: 16
  
• Rank 3: 32
  
• Rank 4: 64
  
• Total: 116

Fun Fact! Upgrading a Pal's Value Rank also slightly beefs up their Passive Ability. For example, Direhowls get a +10% increase in movement speed at max rank.

If you were at all curious, no. You can't put humans in the Farm.
