Palworld Paloxite and Mythical Wood Farm

Quick answer

Because you do not have World Tree Holy Water active. Paloxite's item text states that those without protection who touch it will instantly rust and decay, and the same rule applies to Mythical Wood. Drink Holy Water at a Healing Spring before approaching any World Tree node.

Paloxite and Mythical Wood are the two World Tree materials that decay the moment an unprotected player touches them. Holy Water first, pickaxe second.

Paloxite is crystallised World Tree energy and Mythical Wood is World Tree timber. Both are gathered at the Foot of the World Tree, and both are protected by the same rule: the Paloxite item text warns that those without protection who touch it will instantly rust and decay. Drink World Tree Holy Water before you approach a node or the node is gone.

Once you have both materials, the Ancient Furnace at level 66 turns them into the highest crafting tier in the game. Paloxite Ingot takes 1 Soralite, 2 Paloxite, and 1 World Tree Holy Water, and it is the only path to top-grade equipment and structures.

Paloxite

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

Mythical Wood

Materials

Rare wood imbued with the power of the World Tree. Only skilled craftsmen are able to process it.

Paloxite Ingot

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.

Mythical Wooden Board

Mythical Wooden Board

Materials

Planks made by processing mystical wood, emitting a faint light. They contain power beyond human understanding and make an ideal core material.

Two raw materials, one ingot, one board

The Holy Water rule, precisely

  • Holy Water is a buff you drink, not a tool you equip. It has a duration and a cooldown.
  • Approaching a World Tree node without it active destroys the node in front of you. You do not get a second chance on that node this cycle.
  • Three Healing Springs supply Holy Water on a 60 second cooldown each, so plan the loop around spring positions.
  • Chests and Pal drops in the region also supply Holy Water, which is the backup when spring cooldowns bite.

Every Holy Water source, the cooldown timing, and the Fast Travel circuit.

Teafant Spring positions, which is where the cooldown planning actually happens.

Teafant Springs

The gathering loop

This is a circuit, not a grind spot. You are chaining springs and nodes so that Holy Water uptime covers every node you touch, with fast travel used to skip the walking rather than to reach the region.

  • Drink at a spring, then clear the nodes inside the buff window before returning.
  • Bring a high Mining suitability Pal for Paloxite and a high Logging Pal for Mythical Wood. Both are work actions, so work speed passives do help.
  • Better tools mean more yield per node, and World Tree nodes are exactly where over-harvesting maths pays off.
  • Carry weight is the real cap. Paloxite and Mythical Wood are heavy and a full bag ends the loop early.
  • Bank Holy Water surplus. The Paloxite Ingot recipe eats one per ingot on top of what you drink.

How tool tier changes node yield, which matters most on the expensive nodes.

What you build with it

Paloxite Ingot is the foundation of the top equipment tier and it only refines at the Ancient Furnace, which unlocks at level 66 for five technology points. Mythical Wood processes into Mythical Wooden Board, described in game as an ideal core material, and both feed the Ancient Workbench recipes at level 67.

  • Ancient Sphere II costs 30 Paldium Fragment, 6 Paloxite Ingot, and 3 Mythical Wood. It is the top capture tier.
  • Element awakening crystals cost 10 World Tree Holy Water each plus Radiant Gems, so the region supplies two separate endgame systems.
  • Nutrient Tonic and the late Drone Launcher recipes carry large Holy Water costs on top of everything else.
  • Build the Ancient Furnace before you start hoarding. Raw Paloxite does nothing without it.
Ancient Furnace

Ancient Furnace

Level 66, 5 points

A special furnace based on ancient technology that can smelt all types of ingots. Materials are melted with fire, then quickly cooled and solidified using ice. It requires Pals with high-level Kindling and Cooling suitability.

Ancient Workbench

Ancient Workbench

Level 67, 5 points

A Pal-exclusive workbench that is capable of crafting any item in one place. It cannot be used by the player, and operates at the same speed as a regular workbench. Due to its advanced equipment, it requires Pals with high-level Handiwork and Medicine Production suitability.
