Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Finding and Using This Elusive Resource

Palworld's vast Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. This guide will help you locate these crucial components and utilize them to craft valuable items.

Obtaining Dark Fragments

Dark Fragments are Feybreak-exclusive and obtained by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Unlike other regions, ground and water Pals are prevalent on the outer beaches; you'll need to venture inland to find the Dark-elemental creatures. Note that some Pals, like Starryon, are primarily nocturnal unless encountered as boss variants. Expect an average drop of 1-3 Dark Fragments per Pal, though it's not guaranteed with each capture or kill. Using Ultimate or Exotic Pal Spheres is recommended for increased capture success.

Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals and their Dark Fragment drop rates:

While less reliable, you might occasionally find single Dark Fragments scattered around Feybreak, further incentivizing thorough exploration.

Utilizing Dark Fragments in Crafting

Dark Fragments, while not used for a wide range of items, are essential for crafting specialized gear. Remember that you'll need the appropriate schematic unlocked (via Technology or Ancient Technology Menus, using Technology or Ancient Technology Points) and the necessary machines built before crafting.
