Palworld Expeditions Guide: Teams, Loot, and Tips

Quick answer

Expeditions print materials while you play elsewhere. Set the right team once and stop babysitting the board. Full steps and links are in this guide.

The Pal Expedition Station sends Pals on timed missions to places like dungeons. They fight and gather, then bring resources home. Set strong teams once, queue the next run when they return, and treat expeditions as AFK income next to your world farms.

Pal Expedition Station

Structures

A facility that allows Pals to be sent on expeditions to places like dungeons. The dispatched Pals engage in battles and gather items, bringing back resources to the base.

How to unlock Expeditions

Unlock Pal Expedition Station in Technology around level 22.
Build it at a base with power and pathing so assigned Pals can reach the station.
Open the station UI, pick a biome mission, assign a team, and start the timer.

How a run works

Pick a mission tier your Pals can clear. Hard variants print better tables.
Assign a team that matches the mission strength. Overqualified teams improve reward volume even after the UI shows 100% success.
Wait out the timer. Collect rewards, then queue the next run immediately.
Sending an overpowered team no longer shortens the timer. It increases reward quantity instead.

Why success past 100% still scales Dog Coins and rare rolls.

What Expeditions can return

Live drop tables print biome kits. Highlights players actually spend:

Windswept Island: Small Pal Soul (3-5), early spheres, ore, meats.
Crescent Moon Shore: Kinship Peach (1-3 on Hard), spheres, mushrooms, Bellanoir slab fragments.
Desiccated Dunes / Mount Obsidian: Medium Pal Soul stacks, organs, coal, ores.
Astral Mountains / Sakurajima: Large and Giant Pal Souls, late spheres, Crude Oil on Sakurajima.
Feybreak / Sunreach: Giant Pal Soul, Hexolite Quartz / Chromite / Coralum / Soralite lines, Crude Oil on Feybreak.
Foot of the World Tree: Giant Pal Soul (8-12), Ancient Civilization Core, Ancient Civilization Parts, Ancient Relics, Paloxite, Dog Coin.

Giant Pal Soul

Materials

The soul left behind by a highly trained Pal. It can draw out hidden abilities if offered to a Statue of Power.

Ancient Civilization Core

Materials

Core from technology that was lost long ago. Nearly impossible to find on the Palpagos Islands, it contains a wealth of forgotten knowledge.

Kinship Peach

Enhancement

A rarely seen magical fruit. It is said that a Pal who eats it will open its heart to humans. Choose carefully which Pal you give it to.

Dog Coin

Materials

A mysterious coin. Apparently there are people who collect these. A Mimog will usually have them, but for some reason, they cannot be obtained by butchering it.

Crude Oil

Materials

A material that can be processed into various products. Obtained by installing a Crude Oil Extractor in an oil field.

Common expedition sinks.

Team building tips

Combat-first condensed Pals clear higher tiers. Match requested traits when the UI asks.
Do not stop upgrading the squad the moment success hits 100%. Overcap still improves rewards.
Park expedition teams you will not miss in the field. Keep your breeding Past Party and Predator crew separate.
Passive skills that cut expedition time exist in data. Prefer trait match and raw strength first, then slot time-cost passives when you have them.

Pick condensed combat Pals from the Dex for expedition slots.

Open Pal Dex

When Expeditions beat world farms

Giant / Large Pal Soul stacks while you do something else: hard late expeditions and World Tree runs.
Kinship Peach top-ups on Hard biome missions when you are not running bounties.
Ancient Civilization Cores and Relics from Foot of the World Tree expeditions between manual World Tree loops.
Crude Oil on Feybreak / Sakurajima expeditions as backup to Extractors and Oil Rig bursts.
Still clear Oil Rigs yourself when you need Lotus (L) and Platform schematic rolls. Expeditions do not replace that chest table.

Spend expedition Souls at the Statue Of Power.
