Pocketpair's Palworld, renowned for its expansive open-world and diverse Pals, introduced a wealth of crafting materials with the Feybreak DLC. Among these, Dark Fragments stand out as a crucial, yet sometimes elusive, component for high-tier accessories. This guide details how to obtain and utilize these valuable resources.
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. They are obtained by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Dark Pals in other regions won't yield Dark Fragments. You'll need to venture inland, as coastal Pals are typically ground or water types. Some Dark Pals, such as Starryon, primarily appear at night (except for boss variants).
Each captured or defeated Dark Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though this isn't guaranteed. Efficient hunting is key to accumulating a substantial supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals yield Dark Fragments (note boss and predator variations):
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, single Dark Fragments may randomly appear on the ground across Feybreak, encouraging thorough exploration.
Dark Fragments, though valuable, aren't used in a wide array of recipes. They primarily craft specialized items like saddles and accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character. Remember to unlock the necessary schematics in the Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points before crafting. You'll also need the appropriate crafting machines and other required materials.
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 Ancient Tech Points; requires defeating Feybreak Tower boss) |
Double Air Dash Boots | Level 54 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Ancient Tech Points) |
Smokie's Harness | Level 56 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
Dazzi Noct's Necklace | Level 52 in Technology Menu (3 Technology Points) |
