Palworld Types of Ore: Ore, Coal, Quartz, Chromite, Coralum

Ore is the early copper rock (the item is literally named Ore). Everything after that is a named specialty: Coal for Refined Ingots, Pure Quartz for circuits and Pal Metal, Chromite for Hexolite, Coralum for Coralum Ingots, plus Feybreak Hexolite Quartz and Sunreach Soralite.

Ore

Open map · Ore nodes

Becomes an ingot when refined using a furnace. Can be found in caves and other places.

Coal

Open map · Coal

Coal often found in caves and other places. Required to create high quality metal.

Pure Quartz

Open map · Quartz

Pure Quartz often found in snowy fields and similar places. Required to create Circuit Board.

Chromite

Open map · Chromite

A type of metal buried underground. It can be detected with a Metal Detector on certain islands.

Sulfur

Open map · Sulfur

Sulfur that can be found in volcanoes and such. Necessary for making Gunpowder.

Hexolite Quartz

Open map · Feybreak

A rare crystal found only in Feybreak. Over many years, Paladium has condensed and transformed, now shining with a rainbow-like glow.

Coralum Ore

Deep sea · Item page

A rare ore formed over countless years in the deep sea. Can be retrieved from the depths with a magnet and fishing rod.

Soralite

Sunreach · Item page

A rare ore produced only in Sunreach. Within its host rock of overwhelming density resides a mysterious pattern and radiance.

Ore (early copper rock)

• Furnace product: Ingot (2 Ore). Also feeds Refined Ingot with Coal, Pal Metal with Pure Quartz, and Plasteel with Crude Oil.
• Dense in caves and open nodes across the early islands. Expeditions from Crescent Moon Shore through Mount Obsidian dump large stacks.

Coal

• Pairs with Ore for Refined Ingot (2 Ore + 2 Coal).
• Coralum Ingot wants 5 Coal per craft with Coralum Ore.
• Thermal Core and some fire boosters also spend Coal.
• Map pins plus Desiccated Dunes expeditions are the reliable volume sources.

Pure Quartz

• Snow and cold biomes. Required for Circuit Boards (Refined Circuit Board uses 2 Pure Quartz + Polymer).
• Pal Metal Ingot: 4 Ore + 1 Pure Quartz + 2 Paldium Fragment.
• Soralite Ingot: 2 Soralite + 2 Pure Quartz.
• Dragon resist accessories and several Dragon element boosters ask for 15-20 Pure Quartz.
• Pierdon Cryst always drops Pure Quartz (4-5) if you want a Pal farm.

Chromite

• Detected with a Metal Detector on late islands. PalSphere plots Chromite nodes under the Chromium map filter.
• Hexolite alloy: 1 Chromite + 1 Hexolite Quartz at a Gigantic furnace-tier station.
• Mythical Wooden Board needs 5 Chromite with Mythical Wood and Hardwood.
• Feybreak expeditions and Silvegis / Smokie Pal drops top up Chromite between node runs.

Coralum Ore

• Deep-sea ore. Item text points at magnets and fishing rods, not a simple open-world quarry pin.
• Smelts into Coralum Ingot (2 Coralum Ore + 5 Coal).
• Oil Rigs, Sakurajima and Feybreak camps, and Sunreach expeditions all roll Coralum Ore in bulk.
• Also feeds upgraded fishing rods when you are pushing the fishing progression.

Sulfur, Hexolite Quartz, Soralite

• Sulfur: volcano nodes and Mount Obsidian expeditions. Gunpowder, Polymer path, and high potions.
• Hexolite Quartz: Feybreak-only rainbow crystal. Pair with Chromite for Hexolite armor and structures.
• Soralite: Sunreach ore for Soralite Ingots and late World Tree / sky gear. Use Holy Water rules when World Tree nodes are involved.
