Palworld Treasure Chests: All 4,746 Pins and Where They Actually Are

The Palworld 1.0 map extract carries 4,746 treasure chest pins. The distribution is extremely lopsided: 2,084 are Grassland chests and 2,078 are Feybreak chests, which together account for 88 percent of every chest in the game. Volcano has 156, Desert 139, Snow 116, and Sakurajima just 46, with 66 Long-Hold Chests and a small set of graded Treasure Chest pins on top.

That answers the question players actually have, which is not how many chests exist but where a chest run is worth the fuel. The answer is Grassland if you are early and Feybreak if you are not, and almost nowhere else.

Chest pins by region

• Grassland Chest: 2,084 pins. The early game farm and the densest region on the map.
• Feybreak Chest: 2,078 pins. The late game equivalent, at late game loot levels.
• Volcano Chest: 156 pins.
• Desert Chest: 139 pins.
• Snow Chest: 116 pins.
• Long-Hold Chest: 66 pins. Sustained interact rather than a tap.
• Sakurajima Chest: 46 pins. Not a chest destination.
• Sky Island Chest: 7 pins, plus a few dozen graded Treasure Chest pins across grades 1 through 6.

Run Grassland early, Feybreak later

The two big pools serve different purposes. Grassland chests are dense, safe, and pay in materials and low-tier schematics, which is exactly what a level 20 player needs. Feybreak chests are equally dense and pay at a tier that matters when you already have Hexolite gear, which is why endgame chest running is a real activity rather than nostalgia.

• Below level 30: sweep Grassland around your home base. Chest density means you barely need a route.
• Above level 50: Feybreak is the only chest region with comparable density and it pays properly.
• Do not build a route for Volcano, Desert, Snow, or Sakurajima chests. Pick them up while you are there for something else.
• The graded Treasure Chest pins are the exception. There are only a couple of dozen and they are worth a deliberate visit.

The chests that are not ordinary chests

Three sub-layers behave differently and each is worth knowing before you plan an evening. Long-Hold Chests need a sustained interact and leave you vulnerable while it completes. Elemental lock chests, 50 of them, need a Pal of the matching element rather than a lockpicking tool. Skill fruit chests, 24 of them, are a separate layer from the 31 wild skill fruit trees.

• 66 Long-Hold Chests. Clear the area first, then hold the interact.
• 50 elemental lock chests: 22 Water, 18 Electric, 10 Fire. Bring the matching Pal.
• 24 skill fruit chests, distinct from the 31 wild skill fruit trees on the map.
• Locked chests need Lockpicking Tools, which are Ancient Technologies at levels 16, 25, and 53.

Is chest running actually worth it

Honestly, for schematics specifically, no. Dungeon bosses and Hack Terminals are better sources and there are 189 dungeon pins and 106 Hack Terminals to work through. Chest running is worth it for materials volume, for early game acceleration, and as something to do while travelling. Treat it as the thing you do on the way rather than the destination.
