Fiber is one of the first crafting materials you will burn through in Palworld, since it feeds bows, grenades, grappling guns, shields, hats, and a long list of feed bags. It is a wood-type material with a low weight of 0.5, described in-game as fiber collected from trees and used for making bows and similar gear. There are three dependable ways to keep a steady supply.
Quick answer: Equip an axe and chop down trees to harvest Fiber directly, craft it from Wood at a Crusher (which needs a Pal with the Watering work suitability), or farm it from Pals that drop it at 100%, such as Hangyu, Hangyu Cryst, Hoocrates, and Tarantriss.
Chop down trees for Fiber (fastest early method)
The most direct source is right outside your first base. Trees drop both Wood and Fiber when you cut them down, so a single tree does double duty for early crafting.
You know it worked when Fiber appears in your inventory as a stackable material after the tree drops its loot.
Craft Fiber from Wood at the Crusher
If you have a surplus of Wood but keep running short on Fiber, the Crusher converts one into the other. This is the most consistent option once you have a base running, because it does not depend on finding fresh trees.
Note: If the Fiber recipe is greyed out, the usual causes are that you have not unlocked it yet, the Crusher is not built, or you have no Wood in inventory. Confirm all three and the queue will start.
Farm Fiber from Pals that drop it
Four Pals drop Fiber at a 100% rate when captured or defeated, which makes them a reliable bulk source once you know where they live. Every one of them gives Fiber on every roll.
| Pal | Fiber drop rate |
|---|---|
| Hangyu | 100% |
| Hangyu Cryst | 100% |
| Hoocrates | 100% |
| Tarantriss | 100% |
Tip: You do not have to keep killing wild Pals to farm drops. Capture a drop-Pal, then use a Meat Cleaver to butcher it. Butchering rolls the same drop table as a wild kill, and you still keep the Paldex entry, which is cheaper when the Pal is hard to find.
Best regions to find Fiber-dropping Pals
These are the regions where the four dropping Pals spawn naturally. Denser regions mean fewer travel breaks between farming runs.
| Region | Pals there | Level range |
|---|---|---|
| Feybreak (DLC) | Tarantriss, Hoocrates | Lv. 50–58 |
| Windswept Hills | Hoocrates, Hangyu | Lv. 3–20 |
| Mt. Obsidian | Hoocrates, Hangyu | Lv. 14–35 |
| Astral Mountains | Hoocrates, Hangyu Cryst, Tarantriss | Lv. 20–45 |
| Sakurajima (DLC) | Hoocrates | Lv. 45–50 |
| Twilight Dunes | Hangyu, Tarantriss | Lv. 25–40 |
Windswept Hills is the easiest starting spot, since Hangyu and Hoocrates both appear there at low levels. If you want the densest late-game farm, Feybreak concentrates two dropping Pals at once.
Other sources of Fiber
Beyond trees, the Crusher, and Pal drops, a couple of side channels supply Fiber in bulk:
- The Volcano Expedition (Hard) returns 20–30 Fiber at a 100% rate.
- It can be bought as a reward tied to the first boss battle mission, in a batch of 20.
What Fiber is used for
Fiber appears in 20 recipes, so it is worth stockpiling rather than crafting to order. It is the backbone of ranged weapons, throwables, grappling gear, and the feed bags that keep your Pals working.
| Recipe | Fiber needed |
|---|---|
| Small Feed Bag | 10 |
| Common Shield | 10 |
| Old Bow | 15 |
| Fire Bow / Poison Bow | 20 each |
| Grappling Gun | 30 |
| Three Shot Bow | 30 |
| Mega Grappling Gun | 50 |
| Giga Grappling Gun | 80 |
| Huge Feed Bag | 90 |
| Giant Feed Bag | 200 |
Grenades like the Frag, Ice, Incendiary, and Shock variants each take 10 Fiber, and utility items such as the Repair Kit and a range of hats also pull from your Fiber stock. Because the Giant Feed Bag alone wants 200, the tree-plus-Crusher loop is usually the smartest way to keep ahead of demand. Chop trees while you explore, feed the leftover Wood into a Crusher with a Watering Pal, and lean on Hangyu or Hoocrates farms when you need a fast top-up.
