Where to get Hardwood in Palworld
4 Pals drop Hardwood, and they are not equal — Wumpo Botan gives 2–5 at 100%, which is the best return per kill in the game. Every rate below is the game's own figure.
Each Pal here gives more Hardwood per kill than every Pal that spawns earlier — hunt the highest one you can reach.
| From level | Pal | Avg per kill | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 |  Mossanda | 2 | |
| 32 |  Palumba | 3 | |
| 38 | Wumpo Botan | 3.5 |
Not a speed ranking: spawn density and kill time are not in the game files, so “fastest” is not something this page can prove.
Pals that drop Hardwood
| Pal | Rate | Amount | Avg per kill | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wumpo Botan | 100% | 2–5 | 3.5 | |
| Palumba | 100% | 2–4 | 3 | |
| Mossanda | 100% | 1–3 | 2 | |
 Mossanda Lux | 100% | 1–3 | 2 |
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.
