Gunpowder farming and crafting as a Palworld beginner
When you’re Level 21 and ready to gather Gunpowder, you have two options - either defeat lots of Tocotocos, or farm Charcoal andSulfur.
Tocotoco can be found in the vicinity of the following Fast Travel locations:Investigator’s Fork,Sand Dunes Entrance,Duneshelter, andPIDF Tower Entrance. The easiest place to start is in the desert northeast of Investigator’s Fork, but keep in mind that you’ll need aTropical Outfitor aHeat Resistant Pelt Armorto endure the desert’s heat.

Once you’re in the desert, you should see large flocks of Tocotoco wandering about. This unusual bird Pal doesn’t always drop Gunpowder, and will sometimes give you Tocotoco Feathers instead. Nevertheless, there are enough Tocotoco in the area to make farming for Gunpowder fairly streamlined. If you’d rather not brave the desert, you can also hatch Tocotoco from aCommon Eggand occasionally run into it in theRavine GrottoandCavern of the Dunesdungeons.

If you’d rather farm lots of Charcoal and Sulfur, then you can craft 1 Charcoal from 2 Wood via aPrimitive Furnace, which unlocks at Level 10. Sulfur can be mined from yellow Sulfur nodes located in same desert as all those wandering Tocotoco. Honestly, if you venture to the desert, you’ll be killing multiple birds with a single stone, in more ways than one!
Once you’ve got your Gunpowder, start crafting Coarse Ammo, which you’ll need to power what’s likely to be your first gun - a good old fashionedMusket, which also unlocks at Level 21 and can be built at theWeapon Workbench.
