Where to get Coal in Palworld
3 Pals drop Coal, and they are not equal — Blazamut gives 10 at 100%, which is the best return per kill in the game. Every rate below is the game's own figure.
Pals that drop Coal
| Pal | Rate | Amount | Avg per kill | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blazamut | 100% | 10 | 10 | |
 Blazamut Ryu | 100% | 10 | 10 | |
 Pierdon | 100% | 4–5 | 4.5 |
Rate and amount are stated by the game. “Avg per kill” is ours — the rate multiplied by the mean of the amount range — so you can compare a rare big drop against a reliable small one without doing it in your head.
Chests, expeditions and gathering nodes
The game stores these as weights rather than percentages — an item’s chance is its weight against everything else in the same grade. The odds below are that division done, so you can compare a route against hunting.
| Source | Type | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desert gathering nodes | 14.1% | 1–3 | |
| Sakurajima gathering nodes | 13% | 1–5 | |
| Snow gathering nodes | 12.8% | 1–3 | |
| Desert expedition (hard) | 11.1% | 10–20 | |
| Forest expedition (hard) | 11.1% | 10–20 | |
| Desert expedition | 8.3% | 20–40 |
