Sulfur is a crucial resource in Palworld, used primarily to craft Gunpowder for ammunition. Knowing how to efficiently farm Sulfur can significantly enhance your gameplay, especially when arming your Pals with weapons. This guide provides detailed steps on how to obtain Sulfur, the best locations for farming it, and how to craft essential tools to aid in your mining efforts.
How to Get Sulfur
1. Identifying Sulfur Deposits
- Appearance: Sulfur deposits in Palworld look like regular rocks but have a distinct green/yellow coating. This coloration helps differentiate them from other rocks.
2. Sulfur Farm Locations
- Mount Obsidian: A prime location for Sulfur deposits. The coordinates for a significant spawn point are (-499, -524). This area is very hot, so heat-resistant armor is recommended. The deposits are located just south of the Mount Obsidian Midpoint fast travel point and east of the Eternal Pyre Entrance fast travel point.
- Twilight Dunes: Located at coordinates (-160, -114), this desert-like environment contains Sulfur deposits but is less dense compared to Mount Obsidian.
- Dungeons: Sulfur deposits can also be found in various dungeons, though they are less common compared to the desert and volcanic regions.
Best Sulfur Farm Locations
1. Mount Obsidian
- Coordinates: (-499, -524) and (-594, -531)
- Details: Mount Obsidian is known for its abundant Sulfur deposits. The terrain is mostly flat, making it suitable for setting up a base.
- Preparation: Due to the high temperatures, equip heat-resistant armor before exploring this area. There will be Level 35+ Pals in the vicinity that you may need to deal with.
- Base Setup: For efficient farming, consider building a base around a Sulfur deposit. Assign Pals with Mining and Transporting skills to gather and transport Sulfur. Check your Palbox to see which Pals have these skills. Farming Route:
- Warp to the Mount Obsidian Midpoint fast travel point.
- Use a flying mount to travel south down the mountain, where you’ll find clusters of yellow Sulfur rocks.
- Set up a temporary base, craft a Palbox and Primitive Workbench, and use Pals with Mining skills to gather Sulfur.
2. Twilight Dunes
- Coordinates: (-160, -114)
- Details: This desert region has scattered Sulfur deposits, making it less ideal for extensive farming compared to Mount Obsidian.
- Access: Warp to the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyran fast travel point. From there, head north to the Twilight Dunes. Look for yellow rocks scattered throughout the desert. Farming Tips:
- This location is more suitable for early-game Sulfur gathering. You can collect around 200 Sulfur in about 10 minutes if you carry sufficient weight.
