Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Acquisition and Use
Palworld's vast 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-end equipment.
Obtaining Dark Fragments
To acquire Dark Fragments, focus on capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals exclusively on Feybreak Island. Pals on other islands won't yield these fragments. You'll need to venture inland, as coastal Pals are typically ground or water types. Note that some Dark-elemental Pals, like Starryon, are primarily nocturnal. Using Ultimate or Exotic Pal Spheres is recommended for capture.
Each captured or defeated Dark-elemental Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Diligent hunting is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals drop Dark Fragments:
| 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 less reliable, you may occasionally find single Dark Fragments scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is thus advised.
Utilizing Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are a relatively specialized crafting material. They are primarily used to create specific saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced mobility boots for your character. Remember that you'll need the appropriate schematics (unlocked via Technology or Ancient Technology Points) and the necessary crafting machines.
Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments:
| Crafted Item | Unlock Method |
|---|---|
| Homing Module | Level 57 in Technology Menu (5 Technology Points) |
| Triple Jump Boots | Level 58 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Points; requires Feybreak Tower boss defeat) |
| Double Air Dash Boots | Level 54 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Points) |
| Smokie's Harness | Level 56 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
