Palworld Stats: Level Up Guide

When you start playing Palworld, you'll notice that you level up pretty quickly after getting your first Palsphere made and catch your first Pal. But, what do you do with all of that skill points now? This comprehensive guide will show you which stats you should focus on first as you begin your Pal-catching quest, including priority recommendations and advanced strategies.

Complete Stats Breakdown

Stamina

Stamina is one of the most important stats in the game. When you first start, you won't be fighting a lot of tough Pals, instead you'll be catching very weak Pals and having them do the fighting for you. Having a lot of Stamina is nice for when you need to outrun wild Pals that you have no chance beating. This will also help you be able to overall do things like running, swimming, and climbing longer.

Benefits of High Stamina:

• Extended Exploration: Run longer distances without getting winded, essential for exploring large islands.
• Climbing Efficiency: Climb mountains and tall structures without running out of energy mid-climb.
• Swimming Endurance: Cross oceans and large bodies of water without drowning or running out of stamina.
• Combat Mobility: Dodge and move around faster during battles, giving you tactical advantages.
• Gathering Speed: Harvest resources and craft items faster with reduced stamina consumption.

Weight (Carry Capacity)

Weight is Palworld's version of carry capacity. You can increase this carry capacity when you upgrade your skill. Weight is very important when you're starting to build your first base and collect a lot of items. You'll also need to be carrying resources back to your base to store away in chests, which you'll need a lot of carry capacity for.

Benefits of High Weight:

• Resource Transport: Carry more wood, stone, and other materials in one trip, reducing travel time.
• Loot Collection: Pick up dropped items from defeated Pals without constantly managing inventory.
• Base Construction: Build larger structures without making multiple trips to storage chests.
• Raid Efficiency: Carry more loot from raids, dungeons, and boss fights.
• Trading Capability: Store items for trading with merchants without inventory overflow.

Recommended Investment:

Health

As you continue to catch Pals and upgrade your stamina and carry weight, you're probably starting to prepare to face tougher Pals or fight the game's main bosses. For these, you're going to want a lot of health so you don't die after just a few hits during a boss fight. This will also help you survive greater falls and accidents.

Benefits of High Health:

• Boss Survival: Survive multiple hits from tower bosses and legendary Pals.
• Fall Damage Reduction: Take less damage from falls and environmental hazards.
• Raid Durability: Withstand damage from hostile Pals and environmental threats.
• Combat Endurance: Stay in fights longer without needing to retreat or use healing items.
• PvP Advantage: Outlast other players in player-vs-player combat scenarios.

Attack Power

Increases damage dealt by your character and your Pals. While not as crucial early game, becomes more important as you progress.

• Early Game: Invest minimally (2-5 points) - rely on Pals for combat.
• Mid-Game: Moderate investment (10-15 points) - personal combat becomes viable.
• Late-Game: Significant investment (20-30 points) - become a combat powerhouse.

Capture Power

Increase success rate of catching Pals with Palspheres. Critical for collecting high-level and rare Pals.

• Low Capture Rate: 20-30 points - sufficient for common Pals.
• Medium Capture Rate: 30-40 points - good for uncommon and rare Pals.
• High Capture Rate: 50+ points - essential for legendary and boss Pals.

Stat Reset & Optimization

Resetting Stats

Can you reset your stats? In some versions of Palworld, stat resets may be available through:

• Items: Special consumables that reset skill points.
• NPCs: Trainers or merchants that offer stat reset services.
• Game Settings: Limited reset options in the settings menu.

Optimization Tips

• Don't Overspecialize Early: Invest evenly across stats until level 15-20.
• Consider Equipment Bonuses: Armor, accessories, and food may provide stat boosts.
• Pal Abilities: Some Pals provide passive stat bonuses to your character.
• Food Buffs: Consumables like cooked meals can temporarily boost stats.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake 1: Ignoring Stamina

Don't skip stamina investment! Mobility is crucial for exploration, survival, and combat. Without enough stamina, you'll constantly be getting exhausted and vulnerable to attacks.

Mistake 2: Over-Investing in Weight

Weight is important but don't overdo it. Pals can carry resources, and you'll unlock weight-increasing equipment. Invest in other stats first.

Mistake 3: Neglecting Capture Power

Capture Power is essential for collecting rare Pals. Even if you focus on combat, invest in Capture Power regularly to catch better Pals for your team.

Mistake 4: Uneven Stat Distribution

Avoid having one stat extremely high while others are very low. A balanced build is more versatile and effective in various situations.
