#

huh I just realized, you can't get Legendary on jormuntide ignis can you

#

since it only breeds with itself

carmine finch
#

Correct

#

However

#

It's probably only temporary

#

As with how breeding works

#

Assuming game continues being developed, they'll likely add more pals to make the breed down possible

#

actually lemme look at the spreadsheet

#

yep

#

so basically

#

the reason it's not really a thing currently is Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis sit about 5 away from eachother on the full range of 10-1500

#

where Jormuntide is at 310 and Jormuntide Ignis is at 315

#

then, subsequently

#

Reptyro sits at 320, 5 above Jormuntide Ignis

#

Actually I take that back

#

they aren't using a formula apparently

#

it's just uniquely programmed combos to make the variants

#

so literally they just need to add it to the game at some point headempty

river talon
#

I find it kinda funny that this means you can technically make a better fire type water jormuntide than the fire jormuntide

#

because you can get flame emperor and legendary on it

carmine finch
#

yeah so double checking, because goofing myself there for a moment (I thought they would have made a complex formula to calculate breed things, including legendaries and variants)

the normal formula is the hidden power of each parent averaged together = the pal with the closest hidden power rounded down, with the exception of variants + legendaries

#

where for a number of pals, mainly variants and legendaries, they have unique combinations that will breed that specific pal

#

ignoring the hidden power used for the normal breeding formula

carmine finch

STAB = ~20% element boost

Jormuntide Ignis has STAB on Fire due to being Fire (+~20% Fire)
Jormuntide does not

Jormuntide Ignis can not get Legend or Flame Emperor (20% all damage and 20% fire damage)

Jormuntide Ignis Best in Passive would be Lucky/Hooligan/Sadist (15%), Musclehead (30%), Ferocious (20%), Hooligan/Sadist/Lucky (15%) + STAB would be a total of-
100% boost to Fire Damage Attacks

Jormuntide Best in Passive would be Musclehead (30%), Legend (20%), Ferocious (20%), and Flame Emperor (20%), for a total of-
90% boost to Fire Damage Attacks

so because Jormuntide does not get the STAB, Jormuntide Ignis does 10% more Fire Damage

river talon
#

I thought STAB wasn't a thing?

carmine finch
#

It is a thing, same with IVs

#

that being said

#

IVs are datamined

#

STAB is just conclusion based on testing some people did

#

well

#

it is a thing probably

#

I use it in theory builds

#

but ultimately if STAB doesn't exist

#

then Jormuntide beats Ignis with a 10% overhead

#

Also there's still this

river talon
#

Also trying to decide which pal I wanna use for a laser carrier

carmine finch
#

where Fire/Dragon might be best element combination, compared to Water/Dragon

river talon
#

preferably one that has a bonus from just being in the team

carmine finch
#

I haven't looked at teamcomps, but there's definitely a bunch of different ideas

river talon
#

dazzi/daedream so they're out at all times is a choice, but problem there is when you try and catch something

keen shore
#

I've switched out my daedream/dazzi team with ones the buff my current mount like rooby and seakelp ignis for my suzaku and I feel it's more consistent

#

My 4th slot is lyleen for healing when I'm injured and 5th is galeclaw cause I love it

river talon
#

galeclaws probably a permanent entry in my team

carmine finch
keen shore
#

Galeclaw is very convenient even compared to a giga glider, and it's sort of like a better dodge for certain attacks

carmine finch
#

Stuff like this, where they increase attack power of other pals in your team could theoretically let you insanely buff 1 pal at the cost of other pal slots

river talon
#

also that it doesn't use your stamina is a big one

#

because if you misjudge it and fall in the water you can still swim

keen shore
river talon
#

Still not sure if hangyu is better or not though

keen shore
#

It nearly doubled my atk of suzaku iirc

#

Hangyu seemed a bit too slow for me and seems to use more stamina, I'd rather use a flying mount than hangyu

#

Galeclaw for some reason just seems a lot faster and seems to use less stamina

#

I just use galeclaw instead of sprinting

carmine finch
#

I don't think I'd ever use a glider pal

#

only exception would be if I had an resource run that I could 100% guarantee I needed no other mount

keen shore
#

I'd try out galeclaw since as a glider pal it's faster than sprinting around base

carmine finch
#

which would mean I'd need a teleporter that starts at the top of a mountan where from there it's only downhill->gliding to ore spots

river talon
#

I genuinely use my galeclaw almost as much as my flyer

keen shore
#

And you can glide a good distance on flat ground

river talon
#

because you just always go upwards along with forwards and just witch to gliding when your flyer runs out

#

and then you just hold F to remount soon after

carmine finch
#

too slow for me, I just use ground mount at that point

#

unless it's got some geometry I can abuse indefinitely but like

#

I've never had that

#

but then again I haven't properly tested with a glider

#

because if it has enough stamina and has almost no drop off, could use it to travel further than need

#

only issue is that like

#

I'd need an exact scenario for it

#

I think maybe I could get away with it for going to a boss spawn but hmm

keen shore
#

I don't like having to switch out pals, if they made it so you can keybind instant summons to each individual pal slot I'd probably use a ground mount more

#

Like fn1 to fn 5 keys

river talon
#

yeah and in most cases you can find a small bit to slide to go way faster with the galeclaw anyway

#

or you can just grapple it

keen shore
#

Yea grapple tech with galeclaw is fast for short distances but unreliable on servers ime

#

I can do it reliably in single player but it seems harder on servers

carmine finch
#

Grapple is so buggy for me I barely use it

mild zenith
#

Jetdragon dying from fall damage will never not be funny

#

what is not funny is killing a legendary Pal by accident with Burn

blazing ledge
#

has anyone gotten a solid strategy to beating and/or capturing the two horse pals in the desert that are level 50

carmine finch
#

yes/no

#

the way I've captured lvl 50 pals as a level 39

blazing ledge
#

and/or doing damage to them to being viable to capture them

carmine finch
#

is I basically abuse status ailments (fire and poison both do percentage dot) and just spent the entire time dodging via use of personal dodge (I can't stand the dodge key being on control but I can't rebind it to ALT sadly, so I usually start straining my fingers after a bit), then I usually spam ultra spheres with the understanding of statistics and how capture chance works

blazing ledge
#

hm.
So I should look into DOT stuff.
augh that is the part I hate as I'm into guns now

carmine finch
#

yep

#

like my Lunaris might deal like

#

4 per tick of damage on a multi-hot attack against a Jetragon, with like 10-20 ticks, meaning I do like 40 damage

#

but if I successfully burn the Jetragon, it will take DOT damage of like 60 per tick

blazing ledge
#

so I gotta make a fire cross bow and posion too

carmine finch
#

ye

#

Idk how statuses get proc'd though

blazing ledge
#

that is why I'm semi dreading it as it seems super RNG dependant

carmine finch
#

I've only used Pals to get statuses to proc

carmine finch
#

because eventually, you will dot or wittle down the HP

#

the issue is uhh

#

the knights are 2 IIRC

blazing ledge
#

yeah

#

you can do it at night

carmine finch
#

my fights span like 2-3 days lmao

#

so only do that if you will confident you'll be quick enough

blazing ledge
#

and one time I Tried to fight them, one ended up like falling off the cliff and being chunked

carmine finch
#

if you have building deterioration turned off in your world settings

#

I would 100% fortnite it

#

and just like, build the arena around them

blazing ledge
#

I would but I were good at that

blazing ledge
#

how DOES the player attack stat affect weapons

mild zenith
#

I used JetDragon for it

blazing ledge
#

I do not have that one, my best bet is aybe beakon

mild zenith
#

I recommend giving that... basic toxic attack with very low CD

#

so you can keep applying poison

blazing ledge
#

where would I even get that...but thanks for the idea.

carmine finch
#

Poison Blast is the skill

#

you can get it from skill trees/merchants

mild zenith
#

Yes that, i found is better to have ay least 1 very short CD skill equipped than 3 long CD skills in the long run

blazing ledge
#

it keeps DPS up yeah, it's why I normally have the air blast skill on most if not all my pals.
...unless I'm using my heavy hitter for quick burst

mild zenith
#

my heavy hitter is a 4 star lifmunk that I pop to use it's skill alongside the assault rifle
Amazing burst damage

mild zenith
#

Also I did it.
I captured all Pals and beat all bosses
Was a fun ride.

#

I still had to cheese Jatdragon by making him fall off a cliff to take a chunk of his HP tho
Lv50 stuff are WAY too bullet spongy

carmine finch
mild zenith
#

W-
Did it grew?!
H-
How

carmine finch
#

Mods I believe

#

As like you said, Lvl 50s are bullet spongy

mild zenith
#

Fair
And yeah, absolutely bullet sponges

#

Even with Legendary Pump Shotgun and Legendary Assault Rifle

#

I never made the legendary Rocket Launcher tho
too much Pal Ingot

#

I wish they would sell Assault Rifle mags instead of raw ammo, AR eats ammo way too quickly, even with 999 Bullets on your inventory a boss fight can easily eat all of them up

carmine finch
#

I haven't gotten to a point using AR ammo is worth it

#

I'm only lvl 40 so when I fight lvl 50s it's better for me to just dodge and use status effects like burn or poison

mild zenith
#

Yeah, I wish there were other ways to directly tell your Pal what to do instead only when you mount them, it's fun.

carmine finch
#

IIRC you can remove the skills so they only have 1 skill

#

Granted

#

They still have their battle AI which might dance for like

#

A minute lol

mild zenith
#

I mean.
Yes.
but i meant in a way to mitigate the dance ai

#

Shame there is no Legendary Single Shot Rifle , only Legendary Handgun

blazing ledge
#

is there any way to datamine the game to see which blueprints exist for stuff like that?

#

or using a spawn menu or whatever since I atleast want to be sure I am not wasting my time for blueprints of like...the pump action shotgun

mild zenith
blazing ledge
#

oh so it's that one I Gotta fight.
okay I'm...happy that I'm not wasting my time then.
since i 100% think the pump action shotgun is honestly too good

carmine finch
#

Seed Mine is also OP

#

Only works against non-flyers though

blazing ledge
#

considering I'm only working towards non-flyers, I'll look into it

#

huh so there is no legendary melee weapon then

carmine finch
#

Depends

#

Have you been leveling your attack stat?

#

Cause if so, Hands could be legendary

blazing ledge
#

no, my attack is still the same

mild zenith
blazing ledge
#

which yeah I never did get an answer for

#

Is the attack stat influencing anything

#

I assume yes but ...I want the math

carmine finch
#

Probably isn't

#

But

#

Would be funny if it was secretly op

blazing ledge
#

because at this point with the changes to weight, I might take points out of my carryweight and slap that into attack.

mild zenith
#

time to drink the forget juice

blazing ledge
#

sure I Could get workspeed but...I dunno I use stamina and HP way more than I Do getting in and working

carmine finch
#

Someone maxed out workspeed

#

Was not worth it IIRC

blazing ledge
#

yeah figured.
I imagine if you stack motivational leader with it though, it does do some work

#

plus if it means I can actually do more damage to end game bosses, I'd probably do it honestly. Only doing 1 point of damage per pellet on the shotgun is just feels bad

#

thought right now I have to wait till the server admin restarts out server since our pals are all acting weird and not acting right

mild zenith
#

honestly a 4 star pal for work speed is more worth it if the player gets it

#

like, is always better just leave a pal to stand still and hold F while you gather drops

steep mica
mild zenith

steep mica
#

i get timed out

mild zenith
#

Jetdragon mount, switching between it, Paladius + 4star Lifmunk pal skill+ Anubis for burst
And Legendary Pump SHotty + Legendary Assault Rifle

#

Lovander was there for life steal but I didn't use her much

#

And stack effects, poison deals % damage if I am not mistaken

#

Jetdragon had Poison Blast , 2CD so you can spam it

carmine finch
#

Burn and Poison are % ye

#

Poison Blast is arguably OP cause of it

mild zenith
#

Burn has costed me capturing a Paladius once but ye
100% grab very short CD skills so you can spam and keep the DOT

blazing ledge
#

odd question...is there a dark dragon?

mild zenith
#

yes

mild zenith
#

don't-
Don't use him for transportation
It's so slow

blazing ledge
#

no no...I am looking into fighting with it

carmine finch
steep mica
#

true

severe ocean
#

I bred up a pair of Anubis for me and my friend on the world we've been playing on

steep mica
#

i should do this

#

i feel so bad for my icebox pal whenever i see them asleep on the floor

#

like their sanity is at 100 but they just look depressed

severe ocean
#

I use the ice version of the electric hedgehog, he looks happy

steep mica
#

i use one of the legendaries with higher power cooling

river talon
#

What does higher power cooling even do

carmine finch
#

200 minutes per level

keen shore
#

Doesn't cooling require the pal to be constantly there?

#

I only know it for the cooler and fridge

blazing ledge
#

yeah

steep mica
#

yeah

#

when the pal leaves it goes back to the normal timer

#

there are some pals who only do cooling, though

blazing ledge
#

Nails.

keen shore
#

I've been selling nails

#

Apparently construction is lucrative in palworld

#

It is I believe post war so makes sense

blazing ledge
#

well off I got to turn into a nail farmer

keen shore
#

I believe like 300 nails sells for 30000 coins

#

With an iron farm you'll have tons of coins

#

Good for buying medicine and ammo

#

Bones and leather

blazing ledge
#

I need the ammo yeah

keen shore
#

And high quality pal fluids goated merchant

blazing ledge
#

my issue is farming schematics, do they only drop post catch or post kill

mild zenith
#

Assault Rifle is a hungry boy, needs lots of ammo

carmine finch
carmine finch
#

I will say the uhh

#

Breeding farm sleeping forever thing is uhh

#

Was a real bug and the way its described is def more tragic than it sounds

carmine finch
steep mica
#

what the fuck lol

mild zenith
#

I love it

severe ocean
#

Glad that capture rate will actually increase normally now

#

I ended up cranking the capture rate to max on my server

mild zenith
#

oh shit it will go up now? Nice
Finally
No more 10 Legendary Spheres for Jetdragon

river talon
#

it'll go up now, but the amount is still insanely low

#

a mega sphere has a capture power of 12, iirc each rank gives 0.5 capture power

steep mica
#

which chillet are you today

keen shore
#

I do like the expressions in palworld it feels very personable

#

I love the adorable and friend shaped early game pals cause they're just a delight to have on your team

#

Unfortunately the better ones tend to be the sharp angy type of design

steep mica
#

except quivern :D

#

today in basebuilding

#

the view from the top

mild zenith
river talon
#

any recommends for some fun pals in terms of unique skills

carmine finch
#

I think Mossanda is pretty cool

river talon
#

Am I just misunderstanding something with IV's, I have one with a 99 attack 92 def IV, breeding with a 37 99

#

how did they make one with 11

carmine finch
#

IVs are random IIRC

river talon
#

I thought it took the range between the two breeds

carmine finch
#

Oh apparently so

#

It's still somewhat random but ranges are apparently a thing

river talon
#

oh there we go I think the 11 is just a bug because I just got another one that had 99 99

carmine finch
#

Apparently there's some randomness to it

#

Idk the math myself but looking at some social media, apparently on the best chance for optimal stats + passive is 1/3000 or something

river talon
#

it is very annoying that it's a 99% on both due to ocd but it doesn't matter

carmine finch
river talon
#

finally

severe ocean
#

What Depresso are you today?

blazing ledge
#

9

keen shore
#

Also 9

river talon
#

what do ya'lls teams look like at the moment

carmine finch
#

CW: legendary spoilers
||2 jetragons, 1 inferam noct, 1 vanwyrm for travel, 1 lunaris, 1 anubis||

this is not the team I would take 100%, I just am not level 50 and do not have all the pals I want required for breeding

keen shore
#

I'm like 40 but Suzaku, Rooby, Kelpsea Ignis, Lyleen, Galeclaw

#

Sometimes I swap lyleen and galeclaw for extra rooby or Kelpsea for bosses

#

Suzaku is an alpha so it's sort of tanky and makes a decent one pal that does almost everything like fly and figbt

#

Lyleen for healing cause that's very rare

#

Galeclaw for convenience

#

And the other 2 to buff suzakus attacks

river talon
#

my current team, the hangyu has 2 lasers and a dragon meteor

#

mainly been trying to find more pals with cool unique attacks like orserk

river talon
#

lol managed to stack farm plots

keen shore
#

Is this the vertical farming ive been hearing about

river talon
#

no clue, wouldn't surprise me if other people found it

Nexus Mods :: Palworld

Tired of your Pals getting stuck somewhere and starving themselves to death? No more! Hungry Pal Rescuer detects when a hungry pal can't path to the feed box and respawns them at the pal box.

Nexus Mods :: Palworld

Forces Pals to recover at least 95% Satiety whenever they eat, instead of returning to work after exceeding 50%. Also allows changing the time it takes for them to eat.

#

these two mods look like a must have

carmine finch
river talon
#

neat, I used the bench rather than whatever that tire is from

carmine finch
#

makes sense

#

bench might be the most useful decorating craft in the game rn

river talon
#

yeah

#

genuinely surprised they tried the tire before the bench

#

also you don't need to staircase it like that

river talon
#

hm can't decide if a dedicated cooler is worth it

blazing ledge
#

if you make food, you can leave it in the cooking thing till you wanna pull it out, and it won't spoil.
Cake in the breeding pen won't spoil.

river talon
#

also decided to make the coal and ore spot workable as a base

#

oh my god I figured out something really neat

#

first, anubis can go through doors, secondly, they don't open doors on their own so you can just close the door to areas you don't want them to go, like for example the stone quarry

river talon
#

niiiiice

keen shore
#

You have unused stat points

keen shore
river talon
#

yeah, you have to do a bigger area than you had to do for the stair method though

#

cause they can and will just quarry through the wall if it's close enough

keen shore
#

Ah I see I've got reptyros with big mining hitboxes and the same base location so spaceis at premium

river talon
#

I mean I have a reptyros cryo running around fine

keen shore
#

I didn't even know there were reptyros cyro

#

The fact they don't pad out the paldeck with the difference types of a pal with a separate number is pretty nice

#

And no evolutions makes the paldeck bigger than you'd expect

river talon
#

There's a variant of most things

#

even gumoss

#

||It has a flower instead of a leaf, that's all that changes||

blazing ledge
#

with the assistance of a friend, I Captured Necromus. However, Paladinus seemingly just faded out.

steep mica
#

i have NOT completed the paldeck after all

river talon
#

Good luck, that variant is extremely rare and doesn't even have its own entry afaik

#

It's such a good boy though

steep mica
#

paldeck.mael.tech shows it as 13b

#

but ingame i dont think its its own entry

keen shore
#

Huh didn't know there were gummoss variants

blazing ledge
#

it's not really a true variant, since the gumoss is...like weird plant substrate. So it could grow the flower.
Would be funny to get a gumoss that just grows a lettuce on it's head though

keen shore
#

I'm surprised they don't have a gummoss with a weed bud

steep mica
#

they knew what they were doing

#

this, on the other hand. what

blazing ledge
#

god I hope they don't let them buy.
this is the kind of thing where palworld would end up pretty bland if so

keen shore
#

Same

#

The guy who runs the company seems pretty cool his motivation to make palworld was basically "we want to just make good games" which is how they recovered from craftopia by taking any and all criticisms and improving on it regardless of how they felt aboit it

#

Very much putting the players first

#

I've heard a lot of good things about the company work culture itself

blazing ledge
#

Plus it would basically be "oh microsoft made palworld."
and not pocketpair.

#

like I could and can see pocketpair just making an absolute banger of a game with time

keen shore
#

They learned a ton of lessons from craftopia, they historically have not been great at being experienced devs

#

So new things might be rough at first until they learn to fix it

Who knew people still liked Palling around
E: how's the win state in the game? Is there an overall plot?

mild zenith
#

No plot
'win state' is capturing all pals and defeating the 4 bosses towers (boss battles)

#

Lv49 to lv50 ||which is the max lv|| everything starts to get more bullet spongy and hit way harder so prepare yourself and start to rely more on mount pals to survive and deal damage

#

And of course
Sell nails

And to farm rocket ammo go to the desert

oh shit they added temperature stacking now. you can put 4 campfires (based on the notes) close to each other to get the temperature up for eggs.

mild zenith
#

Making Electric Heater even more useless

keen shore
#

Electric heaters shouldnt need a pal

#

It should you know, use electricity

#

And just electricity

balmy dagger
#

where does it get the electricity from

keen shore
#

The wifi

#

Just like the lights

electric heaters should use charge from the battery things that crafting stuff uses

no details on it yet sadly

I meant to post this earlier with the 🔥 emoji but it dissapeared?

blazing ledge

I'm pretty sure it's cause Zoey is the first named female character but no love for Lyleen

#

That ring will be perfect

keen shore
#

Dang that's a huge patch

#

I see you ore base

#

Making that one hill base location obsolete I'm tearing down that thing

blazing ledge
#

Damn right, that one "I have a dedicated ore mining location"
super early game makes that not neceesary.
So good now.

keen shore
#

I love the automaton patches basically this time

#

The base mining spot, electric egg incubator automatically adjusting temps, and refined and regular pal fluids are farmable at ranch

#

Oh and seeing how many pals you've captured when throwing a sphere

#

Better building
Pals will transport crafted goods
And you can change what tasks pals can do? Good patch

blazing ledge
#

this is a quality update.

#

kinda wish I had waited on doing my partner pal series, but oh well.

river talon
#

Only thing I want from the stone/ore quarry is being able to limit how much is farmed

#

cause I feel like it'll be a crapshoot whether they farm ore or stone when you throw both down

keen shore
#

Yea that makes sense

blazing ledge
#

There is a way to do it, but it requires you to use doors/restrict how they move.
But having like "You only work ore, and you only work stone" is just a nicer refinement that they missed on

carmine finch
#

Ahh yus, palworld reddit

severe ocean
#

You could also have the ore and stone in two separate bases

carmine finch
#

incase anyone missed it

keen shore
#

What's the tldr

keen shore
#

Huh neat I wonder what crude oil will be used for besides I'm assuming better weapons and armor

carmine finch
#

it's a resource that if you gain too many, palmerica will attempt to invade you and democratize you

keen shore
#

Also Nocturnal is really neat

#

Philanthropist trait did not do what I expected it to do at all

carmine finch
#

Some of the new stuff in palworld is so nice

#

There's a sulfur and coal mining thingy now you can build

#
