Palworld Guide • Updated Jan 6, 2026

Wheat Farming: Finding and Farming Wheat Seeds

Wheat is a crucial crop in Palworld, used to craft flour for high-quality food items that boost your stats and keep your Pals well-fed. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about obtaining wheat seeds, setting up an efficient wheat farm, and automating production with your Pals.

Why Farm Wheat?

Wheat and wheat flour are essential for crafting:

  • Bread - Basic food item that restores hunger and provides buffs
  • Pizza - High-quality food with significant stat bonuses
  • Cake - Required for Pal breeding at the Breeding Farm
  • Flour - Base ingredient for many advanced recipes

A sustainable wheat farm ensures you always have ingredients for these vital items.

Finding Wheat Seeds

Method 1: Purchase from Wandering Merchant

The fastest way to obtain wheat seeds:

  1. Locate the Wandering Merchant at Small Settlement (coordinates: 71, -486)
  2. Purchase wheat seeds for 100 Gold each
  3. Stock up on at least 20-30 seeds to start your farm

Tip: The merchant's inventory refreshes, so check back regularly if they're out of stock.

Method 2: Loot from Chests

Wheat seeds can be found in chests scattered across the map:

  • Dungeons and ruins
  • Abandoned settlements
  • Random world chests
  • Syndicate Tower bases

Method 3: Defeat or Capture Specific Pals

Several Pals drop wheat seeds when defeated or captured. Here are the best sources:

Dinossom (Level 15)

  • Location: Plateau of Beginnings fast travel point (north and south areas)
  • Capture Requirements: Mega Sphere recommended (weakened health)
  • Drop Rate: 1-3 wheat seeds per defeat
  • Difficulty: Medium - Level 15+ recommended

Flopie (Level 8-10)

  • Location: North of Rayne Syndicate Tower Entrance
  • Capture Requirements: Pal Sphere or better
  • Drop Rate: 1-2 wheat seeds
  • Difficulty: Easy - Good for early game farming

Cinnamoth (Level 14)

  • Location: North of Rayne Syndicate Tower, grassy areas
  • Capture Requirements: Mega Sphere recommended
  • Drop Rate: 1-2 wheat seeds
  • Difficulty: Medium

Bristla (Level 11)

  • Location: Grassy regions across the map
  • Capture Requirements: Pal Sphere or Mega Sphere
  • Drop Rate: 1-2 wheat seeds
  • Difficulty: Easy to Medium

Robinquill (Level 14)

  • Location: Forests and grassy areas
  • Capture Requirements: Mega Sphere
  • Drop Rate: 1-2 wheat seeds
  • Difficulty: Medium

Farming Tip: For early-game players, hunting Flopies provides the easiest source of wheat seeds before you can afford the merchant's prices.

Setting Up Your Wheat Farm

Prerequisites

Before planting wheat, ensure you have:

  • Berry Plantation - Unlocked at Technology Level 5
  • Wheat Seeds - At least 20 seeds to start
  • Flat Land - Minimum 3x3 area, though 5x5 or larger is recommended
  • Watering Can - Crafted at Primitive Workbench

Step-by-Step Planting Guide

  1. Build Berry Plantations - Wheat uses the same plantation structure as berries
  2. Place Plantations - Arrange in a grid pattern for easy access
  3. Plant Wheat Seeds - Interact with each plantation and select wheat seeds
  4. Water Regularly - Water 2-3 times per in-game week or when soil appears dry
  5. Wait for Maturity - Wheat takes approximately 2-3 in-game days to mature
  6. Harvest - Mature wheat appears golden brown with drooping heads

Optimal Farm Layout

For maximum efficiency:

  • Create a 5x5 or 7x7 grid of berry plantations
  • Leave pathways between rows for easy access
  • Place a Chest nearby to store harvested wheat
  • Position Pal Beds close to the farm for your farming Pals
  • Build a Feed Box to keep farming Pals fed automatically

Automating Wheat Production

Best Pals for Wheat Farming

Assign Pals with Planting and Watering work suitabilities to your base:

Top Tier Farming Pals:

  • Lyleen - Planting Lv4, Handiwork Lv3, Medicine Production Lv3 (Best overall)
  • Petallia - Planting Lv4 (Excellent dedicated farmer)
  • Verdash - Planting Lv3, Transport Lv4
  • Cinnamoth - Planting Lv2, Gathering Lv2, Farming Lv1

Best Watering Pals:

  • Jormuntide - Watering Lv4 (Best for automation)
  • Azurobe - Watering Lv3
  • Teafant - Watering Lv2 (Early game option)
  • Fuack - Watering Lv2

Setting Up Automated Farm

  1. Assign 2-3 Pals with Planting work suitability to your base
  2. Assign 1-2 Pals with Watering work suitability
  3. Build multiple Berry Plantations (20+ recommended)
  4. Stock plantations with wheat seeds
  5. Pals will automatically plant, water, and harvest wheat
  6. Collected wheat goes to the nearest storage chest

Pro Tip: Set up your farm near your base's center so Pals prioritize farming tasks. Keep Feed Boxes stocked so farming Pals don't wander off to find food.

Processing Wheat into Flour

Unlocking the Mill

  • Technology Level Required: 15
  • Technology Points Cost: 2 points
  • Materials to Build Mill:
    • 50x Wood
    • 40x Stone
    • 5x Paldium Fragment

Crafting Flour

  1. Build the Mill at your base
  2. Interact with the Mill
  3. Place Wheat in the Mill's inventory
  4. Wait for processing (or assign a Pal with Handiwork skill)
  5. Output: 1 Wheat = 1 Flour

Automation Tip: Assign Pals with Handiwork work suitability to automatically process wheat into flour. Anubis, Katress, and Verdash are excellent choices.

Advanced Farming Tips

Maximizing Yield

  • Farm Size: Build 30-50 berry plantations for sustainable flour production
  • Seed Regeneration: Each wheat harvest has a chance to drop extra seeds - replant immediately
  • Dedicated Farming Base: Create a separate base focused entirely on farming for maximum efficiency
  • Multiple Crops: Rotate wheat with berries and vegetables for diversified food production

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Wheat Not Growing

  • Ensure plantations are being watered regularly
  • Check that watering Pals aren't stuck or sleeping
  • Verify plantations have wheat seeds planted

Pals Not Farming

  • Check Pal work priorities in base management menu
  • Ensure Pals have correct work suitabilities
  • Make sure Feed Box is stocked - hungry Pals won't work
  • Verify Pals have accessible paths to plantations

Low Production Rate

  • Add more Pals with Planting/Watering skills
  • Increase number of berry plantations
  • Ensure Pals aren't being assigned to too many different tasks
  • Build more Pal Beds so farming Pals can rest efficiently
