How to Farm Paloxite and Mythical Wood in Palworld
Quick answer
World Tree resources check for active Holy Water or a World Tree passive on approach. Without one of those, the node decays instead of staying lootable. Drink Holy Water or hatch a World Tree passive Pal first.
Paloxite and Mythical Wood vanish when you approach unprotected. Drink World Tree Holy Water, or bring a Pal with a World Tree passive, then strip the Foot of the World Tree nodes.
Paloxite is World Tree ore. Mythical Wood is the matching logging node. Both are Foot of the World Tree materials. Without protection, the nodes decay when you get close. You get that protection two ways: World Tree Holy Water, or a Pal carrying a World Tree passive.
Paloxite
Materials
Energy leaking from the World Tree that has crystallized after many years. Those without protection who touch it will instantly rust and decay. Only those who can master its delicacy can reach the pinnacle of ancient technology.
Mythical Wood
Materials
Rare wood imbued with the power of the World Tree. Only skilled craftsmen are able to process it.
World Tree Holy Water
Consumables
Sacred water brimming with the energy of the World Tree. It purifies all things and awakens latent powers. When consumed, World Tree resources will not vanish when approached for a period of time.
Paloxite Ingot
Materials
An indomitable alloy created by fusing Soralite and Paloxite. A highly rare material, crystallizing the technology of ancient civilization and the power of the World Tree. It is vital for crafting the highest-grade equipment and structures.
World Tree passives (permanent gather protection)
Every World Tree passive stops World Tree resources from vanishing when you approach. Hatch them from Ominous Eggs, then keep that Pal in the setup you use for ore and wood runs. Holy Water becomes a backup instead of the only option.

Ominous Eggs are the clean way to roll a World Tree passive.
Ominous Eggs explainedSafe gather loop
- If you do not have a World Tree passive yet, drink World Tree Holy Water before you touch ore or wood nodes.
- Run the Foot of the World Tree Fast Travel circuit and strip nodes while protection is active.
- Top up Holy Water from the three Healing Springs (Touch Spring, 60-second cooldown each) and Foot chests.
- Clear high-level Pal packs on the same pass for bonus Holy Water and relics.
Other ways to bank mats
- Ancient Relic Recycler (around tech level 74) always returns Mythical Wood and Paloxite when you feed World Tree relics. Amount climbs with relic tier.
- Foot of the World Tree expeditions can dump large Paloxite stacks.
- Craft Paloxite Ingot with Soralite, Paloxite, and World Tree Holy Water when you need metal for Wing Pack and late recipes.
Need more Holy Water before your first World Tree passive hatches?

Open World Tree mapWhy the nodes keep vanishing on you
The first time you walk up to a Paloxite node or a Mythical Wood tree without protection, it just disappears before your pickaxe or axe connects. That is not a bug. Every World Tree gather node checks for active Holy Water or a World Tree passive the moment you get close, and if neither is running, the node decays on the spot. Players who skip the Healing Springs loop early on burn a lot of frustrated trips before they realize the fix is that simple.
Planning a full farming session
- Stock at least 20-30 Holy Water before you start a serious circuit if you do not have a World Tree passive yet. Running dry mid-loop means turning back for more water instead of finishing the route.
- Route the three Healing Springs into your Fast Travel loop so refills happen without a detour.
- Bring a Transport Pal or clear inventory space. A long Paloxite and Mythical Wood run fills up fast, and full pockets mean wasted node hits.
- If you already hatched a World Tree passive Pal, keep it in your active party for every World Tree trip, not just the first one. It is easy to forget and walk in unprotected out of habit.
What to do with the mats once you have them
- Paloxite feeds Paloxite Ingot, which gates Wing Pack, Ancient Sphere, and several late armor crafts.
- Mythical Wood feeds Mythical Wooden Board, Wing Cell, and explosion-resist accessories.
- Bank a surplus of both before you start a big craft push. Running out mid-recipe means another World Tree trip you could have avoided.

- Why do Paloxite and Mythical Wood nodes disappear when I get close?
- World Tree resources check for active Holy Water or a World Tree passive on approach. Without one of those, the node decays instead of staying lootable. Drink Holy Water or hatch a World Tree passive Pal first. Holy Water farm guide
- Is there a way to farm Paloxite without Holy Water?
- Yes. A Pal carrying a World Tree passive from an Ominous Egg hatch gives the same protection permanently, so you do not need to keep drinking Holy Water once that Pal is in your active party. Ominous Eggs explained
- What is Paloxite Ingot used for?
- Paloxite Ingot is a late crafting material that feeds Wing Pack, Ancient Sphere, and other high-tier World Tree recipes. Craft it from Soralite, Paloxite, and World Tree Holy Water. Wing Pack guide
