Palworld Expeditions Explained: Unlocking the Station, Routes and Rewards

Build the Pal Expedition Station, use eligible Palbox Pals to meet route requirements, and choose expeditions for resources such as Pure Quartz, Crude Oil, Chromite, or World Tree rewards.

To send Pals on expeditions in Palworld, build a Pal Expedition Station, unlock destinations by defeating tower bosses, then dispatch eligible Palbox Pals that meet the route’s elemental quota and recommended firepower. Expeditions run on a timer and return resources; the Pals you send are unavailable for other work until they come back.

How to unlock the Pal Expedition Station

Current game-data references place the Pal Expedition Station at Technology 22 and list this recipe:

  • 10 Wooden Boards
  • 100 Stone
  • 20 Paldium Fragments
  • 20 Cement

An older Dot Esports guide gives a different unlock level and recipe, so use the current technology menu and recipe shown in your game rather than relying on that older instruction. Pocketpair’s dedicated-server documentation labels its page version 1.0.4 and includes “Pal Expedition Station” among technology IDs, but it does not confirm the station’s level, recipe, or expedition rewards: Pocketpair dedicated-server documentation.

How to dispatch Pals

  1. Build the Pal Expedition Station at your base.
  2. Open the station and choose an unlocked destination. The in-game menu is the best guide to route names because fan databases do not always use the same names.
  3. Check the destination’s elemental quota, recommended firepower, and duration.
  4. Select eligible Pals from the Palbox until the roster meets the elemental requirement and gets as close as practical to the recommended firepower. Auto-assign prioritizes high-firepower Pals, according to PalworldCenter.
  5. Start the expedition. The station shows the mission timer; collect the resulting rewards when it finishes.

Expeditions can draw up to 100 eligible Pals from the Palbox. Pals in your party or assigned as base workers cannot be dispatched. A dispatched Pal cannot work at your base, join your party, fight, or be condensed until it returns. Current references say each base can run its own dispatch, though PalworldCenter lists one expedition station per base.

How expedition firepower works

The game-data references give this calculation for an individual Pal: (floor(HP ÷ 5) + Attack + Defense) × (condensation rank + 1)². A roster’s firepower is the figure to compare with the route’s displayed recommendation. Passive skills do not add firepower.

Treat the destination’s recommended total as the practical target for aiming at full rewards. An underpowered team may return less; stronger teams can improve outcomes and may affect mission timing. The references do not establish one universal reward formula, so the displayed route information should take precedence over claims that a particular amount above the target guarantees a fixed bonus or shorter timer.

Which route should you choose?

Choose by the material or progression item you need, then check the tower-boss unlock, elemental quota, firepower target, and timer. These examples are representative, not a complete list of destinations or every possible reward roll. Names can vary in fan databases.

Route or progression point Duration Recommended firepower Roster quota Useful reward examples
Verdant Hollow / first tower route 30 minutes 25,000 Any Pals Ancient Pal Manuscripts, spheres, Ore, Paldium Fragments, Small Pal Souls, Ancient Civilization Parts
Secret Realm of the Forest / Free Pal Alliance 30 minutes 56,000 15 Grass Pals Manuscripts, spheres, Ore, Paldium Fragments, Pal Souls, Ancient Civilization Parts
Eternal Pyre 45 minutes 144,000 20 Fire Pals Sulfur, Hyper Spheres, Ore, Pal Souls, slab fragments
PIDF / desert route 45 minutes 209,000 20 Ground Pals Coal, Ultra Spheres, Ore, Pal Souls, slab fragments
Genetic Research Unit / snowlands 60 minutes 286,000 20 Ice Pals Pure Quartz, Ultra and Legendary Spheres, Pal Souls, Ancient Civilization materials
Moonflower / Sakurajima 60 minutes 375,000 20 Water Pals Crude Oil, Ultimate Spheres, Pal Souls, other route materials
Feybreak 60 minutes 476,000 20 Dark Pals Chromite and advanced progression materials
Azure Covenant / Sunreach 60 minutes 589,000 20 Dragon Pals Soralite, Coralum Ore, Pal Souls, Ancient Civilization Parts
World Tree 60 minutes 851,000 Any Pals Paloxite, Ancient Relics, Radiant Gems, Ancient Civilization Cores, World Tree Holy Water

Pick the route that matches the bottleneck

  • Need Pure Quartz? Compare the snowlands route’s 20-Ice-Pal quota and 286,000 target with your available roster.
  • Need Chromite? Feybreak rewards it, but asks for 20 Dark Pals and 476,000 firepower.
  • Need Crude Oil? Moonflower is the listed route example; prepare 20 Water Pals and a 375,000 target.
  • Advancing at Sunreach? Azure Covenant is the example route for Soralite and Coralum Ore, with a Dragon quota and 589,000 target.
  • Chasing late progression rewards? World Tree accepts any Pals in the cited reference table and lists Ancient Civilization Cores and other advanced materials.

Hard destinations unlock after the corresponding hard-mode tower victories. PalworldCenter lists a two-hour duration and a 1,600,000 recommended firepower target for hard destinations, with a higher threshold for World Tree Hard.

Version-sensitive details

World Tree Holy Water appears in current route references as an expedition reward, and an unofficial account of version 1.0.4 reports it was added to the reward pool. Because this is version-specific information from an unofficial source, check the in-game reward display for the version you are playing.

Release-status wording also differs by source: Pocketpair’s news page says, “Palworld is currently an Early Access game,” while fan databases describe expedition data as 1.0. That difference does not change the station and route steps above, but it is a reason to rely on the current in-game menu for live mechanics: Pocketpair news.
