How to get hardwood in Palworld

Hardwood is a material in Palworld that you need in order to make high quality wooden boards. This level 43 item is required to build items like the large and giant pouches, as well as structures like the drafting table and the Japanese-style structure set.

While hardwood is a special type of material, you can find it in multiple regions in the game. To help you, we've put this guide together explaining how to get hardwood in Palworld and some good farming locations.

How to get hardwood in Palworld

You can obtain hardwood by cutting down any trees found in extreme weather conditions, from the frozen trees in the snow-covered mountains to the dead trees in the volcanic regions.

Whenever you visit one of these locations, look for trees that appear native to that region. Keep in mind that even in areas of extreme weather, there are regular trees that don't drop regular hardwood.

While a regular axe cuts only one piece of hardwood, with a Pal Metal Axe, every swing will drop eight pieces of hardwood, speeding up the process.

Best hardwood farming spots

We've selected six different places where you can farm trees that will drop hardwood, so you can choose depending on where you are at the game.

On the northern side of the map, on the island with the Moonflower Tower, you can find a vast area covered with cherry trees. By cutting any of these down, you can get hardwood and fiber. Fast travel to either the Secluded Cemetery statue at coordinates (-668,268) or Moonflower Tower Entrance (-607,219) to reach the area with the trees.

A second location is in the Anubis Dunes. While there are trees throughout the desert, by fast traveling to the Anubis Dunes statue at (-127,-78), you will find yourself near some clusters of trees. This is a great farming area because you won't have to constantly call your mount to travel from one cluster to another.

Now, if you have access to the Mountain Obsidian, the volcanic region on the west side of the map, you can also farm hardwood. However, unlike the previous regions, we recommend you visit two specific locations in this area to find trees. The first is near the Mount Obsidian - Midpoint statue at coordinates (-499,-439).

The fourth area is on the northwestern side of the volcanic island, near the Mount Obsidian Trail statue at coordinates (-835,-350). There's a good number of trees near the fast travel point, so you won't have to walk much or call for your mount, saving you some time.

If you have high-tier cold-resistant gear, you should consider heading to the Land of Absolute Zero at coordinates (-229,501), the arctic island north of the map. This is one of the few places where the weather poses a real challenge, but if you have the right equipment to withstand the low temperatures, you'll have a free pass to one of the best hardwood farming spots. The entire central area is filled with frozen trees.

The sixth area where you can find trees to farm hardwood is in the Sand Dunes (365,338) on the northeastern side of the map. Having a fast flying mount will definitely help you go from one cluster of trees to the other.
