Palworld Ancient Bone Guide: Where to Find and Farm It

Ancient Bone is a rare high-level resource in Palworld needed to craft top-tier accessories and emblems. Unlike regular Bone, it cannot be looted from ordinary Pals or simply bought from Wandering Merchants. In today's guide, we will explain where to find Ancient Bone, how to farm it, and which items require it.

Where to Find Ancient Bone

The main source of this resource is the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the far northeast of the map, near the desert region.

  • The sanctuary coordinates are roughly 664, 636.

Use the small island covered by a huge blue energy dome as your landmark. Once there, look for huge glowing skeletal remains and giant ribs lying on the ground. These are Ancient Bone resource nodes.

Preparing for the Trip

A trip to No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary requires proper equipment, since this is a high-level zone. Before heading out, prepare heat protection, a mount for travel, a good tool, and free inventory space.

Craft Heat Protection

The route goes through the desert, and the island itself is located in a hot biome. Equip Heat-Resistant Armor or a suitable accessory.

Find a Mount for Travel

There are no fast travel points on the island itself. Teleport to the nearest point in the desert and fly or swim northeast on a flying or water mount. In a separate guide, we covered the best mounts in the game.

Find Tools for Mining

Take a high-level pickaxe, such as a Pal Metal Pickaxe, or a Plasma Multicutter. The better the tool, the faster you will break the bone vein and the less time you will spend under threat from patrols.

Stay Stealthy

Level 80 flying drones patrol the island, and strong rare Pals roam the area. If the sanctuary guards notice you, your character will receive the trespasser status.

How to Mine Bones

Now, let us explain step by step how Ancient Bone farming works in the game:

  1. Clear your inventory. Free up carrying capacity so you can take as many resources as possible in one run.
  2. Reach the island. From the nearest fast travel point in the desert, fly toward the blue dome.
  3. Look for bone veins. Fly around the outer ring and central high ground of the island. You will see large skeletal formations sticking out of the ground.
  4. Mine the resource. Land near the skeletons and break them with a pickaxe or Plasma Multicutter.
  5. Wait for resources to respawn. Once you have gathered all available veins, return to your base or teleport to another zone to give the resources time to recover.

Alternative Farming Method

At the moment, the clearest and most reliable way to get Ancient Bone is to mine bone veins in No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary. The Ancient Relic Recycler is indeed a late-game machine tied to processing Ancient Relics, but it is better not to claim that it reliably produces Ancient Bone without additional testing in your version of the game.

Crafting Advanced Pal Items

Some high-level harnesses and saddles for rare and legendary Pals, especially those that use advanced attacks or have transforming forms, may require Ancient Bone as one of the frame components. If you are assembling late-game equipment, check harness, saddle, and special Pal item recipes in the Technology menu.
