Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Comprehensive Guide
Palworld's expansive Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, including the elusive Dark Fragments. This guide details how to obtain and utilize these crucial components for crafting high-tier equipment.
How to Get Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. They are obtained by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Pals of this type found in other areas won't yield Dark Fragments. You'll need to venture inland from the coastal areas, as the beach and gravel regions primarily house ground and water-type Pals. Some Dark-elemental Pals, like Starryon, only appear at night (unless they are boss variants).
Expect an average drop of 1-3 Dark Fragments per Pal. The drop isn't guaranteed, so efficient hunting is key. Use high-tier Pal Spheres (Ultimate or Exotic recommended) for optimal results.
Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals and their Dark Fragment drop rates:
Pal Name | Drop Rate |
---|---|
Starryon | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Omascul | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Splatterina | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct | 1 x Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Starryon (Midnight Blue Mane) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Starryon | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Omascul (Hundred-Faced Apostle) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Splatterina (Crismon Butcher) | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct (Born of the Thunderclouds) | 1 x Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct (Guardian of the Dark Flame) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Omascul | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Splatterina | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
While infrequent, you might find single Dark Fragments scattered randomly across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is recommended.
How to Use Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are a valuable but not overly versatile crafting material. They're primarily used for specialized saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character.
To craft these items, you'll need the relevant schematic (unlocked via Technology or Ancient Technology Menus using Technology Points) and the necessary machines.
Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments:
