Master the Technology Tree — unlock the best weapons, gear, and base upgrades in the right order. Spend your Technology Points wisely and dominate every stage of the game.
The first 19 levels set the foundation for everything. Unlock these in order and you'll never waste a single Technology Point.
The absolute first unlock. Gives you access to basic tools, a Stone Pickaxe, and a Stone Axe. Without this, you can't gather resources efficiently.
Crafting Pal Spheres lets you start catching Pals. Pair this with a Palworld Breeding Calculator later to turn those catches into perfect fighters.
Cloth Armor keeps you alive against early Pals. Also unlock the Primitive Furnace to start smelting ore into ingots — critical for mid-game crafting.
Mega Spheres increase your catch rate dramatically. The Fire Bow adds elemental damage. These two unlocks make combat and catching far easier.
The most important early unlock. The Breeding Farm lets you combine Pals to create rare offspring. Use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to plan every combination.
These levels unlock your first guns, better spheres, and base automation. Prioritize these and you'll cruise through the mid-game.
Your first firearms. The Musket hits hard from range; the Handgun is fast and reliable. Craft both and pair with a tank Pal from the Palworld Breeding Calculator.
Massive catch rate upgrade. Now you can reliably catch level 20–30 Pals. Essential before attempting your first tower boss.
Automates crafting. Assign Pals with Handiwork suitability and watch your factory run itself. Use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to breed perfect worker Pals.
High damage per shot. Excellent for picking off enemies before they reach you. Pairs perfectly with a ranged combat strategy from our Palworld Combat Guide.
Hatch eggs faster and control temperature. Synergizes with the Breeding Farm — breed eggs, then incubate them for rapid Pal production.
Stone walls, metal foundations, and better defenses. Your base becomes a fortress. Essential before the tougher raids start spawning.
These unlocks turn you from a survivor into a legend. The best weapons, armor, and tools in Palworld are here.
The best all-around weapon in the game. High DPS, fast fire rate, and excellent range. Pair with a tank Pal bred using the Palworld Breeding Calculator for maximum efficiency.
Devastating AOE damage that one-shots groups. Essential for legendary Pal hunts. Learn combat tactics in our Palworld Combat Guide.
The ultimate capture device. Catch level 40+ Pals and legendaries with confidence. Stock up before hunting Jetragon or Frostallion.
Maximum defense. Without this, endgame bosses will one-shot you. Craft the full set before attempting any tower boss above level 40.
Everything you need to know about earning and spending Technology Points wisely.
You earn Technology Points by leveling up your character, completing tower boss fights for the first time, and finding rare Technology Point books scattered across the map. Fast travel points also grant bonus points on first activation. Prioritize tower bosses — they give the biggest one-time bonuses.
Yes — you can craft a Memory Reset Potion at the Electric Medicine Workbench (unlocked at level 43). This refunds all your spent Technology Points so you can reallocate them. It's expensive to craft, so plan your build carefully. Use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to plan which Pals you need before committing to breeding-related tech.
Specialize first, expand later. In the early and mid game, you won't have enough points for everything. Prioritize weapons, armor, and base essentials. Cosmetic and niche items can wait until you've unlocked the Memory Reset Potion at level 43. A focused build always outperforms a scattered one.
The non-negotiable unlocks: Breeding Farm (19), Giga Sphere (24), Assault Rifle (40), Rocket Launcher (45), and Metal Armor (38). Everything else depends on your playstyle, but these five are required for a smooth progression curve. Check our Palworld Combat Guide to see how these weapons perform in battle.
Indirectly, yes. The Breeding Farm costs points at level 19, and the Egg Incubator at level 33. You'll also need the Cooking Pot (level 17) to make Cake. Plan your points around these three unlocks. Once you have them, use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to maximize every egg.
You now know exactly which technologies to unlock at every stage. The only thing left is to build your perfect base, breed your dream team, and conquer Palworld.
