In the enchanting world of Pocketpair’s Palworld, players are consistently captivated by the plethora of mystical items and engaging Pals available for exploration. Since its record-setting debut in January 2024, the game’s extensive open-world mechanics have successfully retained player interest. The recent Feybreak DLC has introduced a treasure trove of new crafting materials, empowering players to enhance their characters and Pal bases with sophisticated technology.
Among these materials, Dark Fragments stand out as a particularly elusive resource. Distinctly different from the more commonly found Paldium, Dark Fragments are crucial for crafting prestigious accessories. Thus, locating them on Feybreak becomes a key focus for players looking to optimize their gameplay.
Acquiring Dark Fragments in Palworld
To effectively obtain Dark Fragments, players should concentrate on capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals exclusively found on the Feybreak island. It’s important to note that other regions of the game do not yield Dark Fragments. Most Dark Pals inhabit the deeper areas of Feybreak, so venturing away from the outer beach and gravel zones is essential. Notably, some Pals, such as Starryon, are only accessible at night unless they are boss variants.
When players successfully capture or defeat these Pals using preferred tactics (the Ultimate or Exotic Spheres are highly recommended), they can expect to receive an average between 1 to 3 Dark Fragments. However, players should remember that drops are not guaranteed per encounter; hence, persistence in targeting Dark Pals will increase the probability of amassing sufficient fragments.
The following Dark-elemental Pals can drop Dark Fragments. Be cautious of variations such as bosses or predators during your hunts:
| Pal Name | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Starryon | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Omaskul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| The splatter | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
| Dazzi Night | 1 Dark Fragment |
| Kitsun Night | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Starryon (Midnight Blue Mane; Boss) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Starryon (Predator Pal) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Omascul (Hundred-Faced Apostle; Boss) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Splatterina (Crimson Butcher; Boss) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
| Dazzi Noct (Born of the Thunderclouds; Boss) | 1 Dark Fragment |
| Kitsun Noct (Guardian of the Dark Flame; Boss) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Omascul (Predator Pal) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Splatterina (Predator Pal) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
While gathering Dark Fragments might seem arduous, they can occasionally be discovered lying around unused in random spots across Feybreak. This encourages players to explore every nook of the island. However, engaging in continuous skirmishes might deplete your ammunition, which is crucial for tackling more formidable challenges, like the Tower Boss, Bjorn.
Utilizing Dark Fragments in Palworld
Although acquiring a significant quantity of Dark Fragments can be challenging, they play a vital role in crafting certain specialized technology. These fragments are primarily designated for the creation of unique items such as saddles, various accessories for specific Pals, and specialized boots that enhance your character’s jumps and dashes.
Dark Fragments can be used to craft the following items, but remember that you must first unlock the necessary schematics through your Technology Menu with Technology Points. Additionally, the appropriate crafting machines must be constructed to use these materials:
| Crafted Item | Unlock Requirements |
|---|---|
| Homing Module | Level 57 in Technology Menu (5 Technology Points) |
| Triple Jump Boots | Level 58 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Ancient Technology Points; defeat Feybreak Tower boss) |
| Double Air Dash Boots | Level 54 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Ancient Technology Points) |
| Smokie’s Harness | Level 56 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
| Dazzi Night’s Necklace | Level 52 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
| Starryon Saddle | Level 57 in Technology Menu (4 Technology Points) |
| Nyafia’s Shotgun | Level 53 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
| Xenolord Saddle | Level 60 in Technology Menu (5 Technology Points) |
