The Legendary Drone Launcher is the top-tier version of one of Palworld’s late-game ranged weapons, firing a swarm of autonomous drones that keep hitting enemies while you move and dodge. Before you can build it at the Ancient Workbench, you need the Legendary schematic in your inventory, and that plan only comes from a handful of endgame sources.
Quick answer: Defeat Free Pal Alliance Founder Lily & Lyleen at the Free Pal Alliance Tower on Hard Mode for a 10% chance at the schematic, then craft the weapon at an Ancient Workbench at Lv. 77. Fishing in the World Tree region, Legendary Treasure Maps, and Ancient Relic recycling are lower-odds backups.
Every way to get the Legendary Drone Launcher schematic
There are several routes to the plan, and they differ wildly in drop rate. The boss fight is by far the most reliable, so that should be your main loop. Everything else is a bonus if it happens to appear while you farm other endgame content.
| Source | Drop rate |
|---|---|
| Lily & Lyleen — Free Pal Alliance Tower (Hard Mode) | 10% |
| Legendary Treasure Map (Feybreak Sea Bases) | 0.149% |
| World Tree fishing (green-glowing catch) | up to ~0.14% |
| Glistening Ancient Relic (recycled) | 0.029% |
| Glowing Ancient Relic (recycled) | 0.008% |
| Gorgeous Ancient Relic (recycled) | 0.003% |
| Dormant Ancient Relic (recycled) | 0.001% |
| Combine 5x Drone Launcher Schematic 3 (Drafting Table) | Guaranteed craft |
Beat Lily and Lyleen on Hard Mode (best odds)
Lily and Lyleen sit at the Free Pal Alliance Tower, located north of the Small Settlement at coordinates 36, -309. The Hard Mode version of the fight is the one that drops the Legendary schematic, at a flat 10% per clear.
Fishing and Treasure Map alternatives
If you would rather avoid repeated boss fights, the schematic can also appear as loot from fishing. Head to the World Tree region and fish its endgame pools, watching for a green-glowing catch that signals the high-end loot table. These pulls hover around a 0.14% chance, so treat it as a repeat-farm spot rather than a single trip. Bringing Pals that boost fishing loot helps.
Legendary Treasure Maps are another option. You get these from Feybreak Sea Bases, and clearing the treasure spot has a 0.149% chance of yielding the plan.
Recycle Ancient Relics or combine lower-tier schematics
Ancient Relics processed in the Ancient Relic Recycler can output the Legendary schematic, and rarer relic grades roll it more often. The odds are tiny, but if you are already recycling relics for materials, it is a passive extra chance.
| Ancient Relic grade | Chance to yield the schematic |
|---|---|
| Glistening Ancient Relic | 0.029% |
| Glowing Ancient Relic | 0.008% |
| Gorgeous Ancient Relic | 0.003% |
| Dormant Ancient Relic | 0.001% |
There is also a deterministic path if you have been collecting lower-tier plans. Combine five copies of Drone Launcher Schematic 3 with 1,000 Gold Coin at the Drafting Table to produce the Legendary schematic. Do not sell spare Schematic 3 copies if you are chasing this upgrade.
Legendary Drone Launcher crafting requirements
You need to be Lv. 77 and use an Ancient Workbench to build the weapon. The recipe is material-heavy, so plan a World Tree farming run before you sit down at the bench.
| Weapon | Materials |
|---|---|
 Legendary Drone Launcher | Paloxite Ingot x140 World Tree Holy Water x80 AI Core x16 Ancient Civilization Core x10 Ancient Civilization Parts x10 |
| Required Level | Lv. 77 |
| Workbench | Ancient Workbench |
Tip: Paloxite has a catch. You must drink World Tree Holy Water before mining Paloxite Ore inside the World Tree region, or the ore will not collect. Since you need both resources anyway, gather everything in one World Tree expedition.
Make sure the recipe actually appears
The schematic is your permanent recipe key. It is not consumed when you craft, but it only unlocks the recipe while it sits in your character inventory. If the Legendary Drone Launcher option is missing at the bench, check three things.
- The schematic is in your character inventory, not in storage.
- The base Drone Launcher technology is already unlocked.
- You are standing at an Ancient Workbench rather than a lower-tier bench.
Legendary vs. standard Drone Launcher stats
The Legendary version is a straight upgrade of the common Drone Launcher, with a meaningful jump in attack and a durability pool roughly four times larger. Both still fire drones with unlimited ammo.
| Stat | Legendary | Common |
|---|---|---|
| Attack | 240 | 200 |
| Durability | 26,000 | 6,500 |
| Max Ammo | ∞ | ∞ |
Because the drones keep attacking after launch, the weapon shines in long boss fights where steady, uninterrupted damage beats occasional burst. Pair it with Pals that apply Soak, boost damage against soaked targets, and raise your own attack, and the Legendary Drone Launcher becomes one of the most effective tools for clearing Palworld’s toughest late-game encounters.
