Palworld Charm Schematics: All 4 Locations & Crafting
This guide covers all four Palworld charm schematics, where to find each one, and the exact crafting recipes you need. Whether you’re boosting your defense or improving your capture power, these charms give you a solid edge, and this page walks you through every step from map location to finished item.
Ingredients
- 1x Palworld game save (any difficulty)
- 1x Character with a Pickaxe (any tier) for mining
- 1x Character with a Sword or melee weapon for combat
- 1x Crafting Bench (or High Quality Workbench for the epic charm)
- Ancient Civilization Parts – quantity varies per charm (see recipes below)
- Paldium Fragments – quantity varies per charm
- Ingots – quantity varies per charm
- Refined Ingots – for the epic charm only
- Carbon Fiber – for the epic charm only
- Circuit Boards – for the epic charm only
- Rubber – for the epic charm only
Instructions
- Locate the four schematic chests. The four charm schematics are found in specific dungeon chests and boss drops. The exact coordinates are: (1) Small Settlement – inside a locked chest in the abandoned house, (2) Desolate Church – in a chest behind the altar, (3) Sealed Realm of the Guardian – drop from the boss, (4) Mount Obsidian – in a chest near the lava falls. Each chest has a chance to drop the schematic, so you may need to reload the area or revisit after a few in-game days.
- Collect the required materials. Once you have a schematic, open your inventory and select the charm to see the exact recipe. The common charms need Ancient Civilization Parts, Paldium Fragments, and Ingots. The epic charm needs Refined Ingots, Carbon Fiber, Circuit Boards, and Rubber. You can gather Ancient Civilization Parts from ruined structures and dungeon chests, Paldium Fragments from mining blue ore, and Ingots from smelting ore in a furnace.
- Build a Crafting Bench. If you don’t have one, craft it from the Technology menu (unlocks at level 2). Place it in your base or anywhere safe. For the epic charm, you’ll need a High Quality Workbench (unlocks at level 30).
- Craft the charm. Interact with the workbench, select the charm from the list, and confirm. The crafting takes a few seconds, and the charm appears in your inventory.
- Equip the charm. Open your inventory, go to the ‘Accessories’ slot, and equip the charm. You can only equip one charm at a time, so choose based on your current need.
Tips
- Substitutions: If you’re short on Ancient Civilization Parts, you can break down unwanted schematics or buy them from the black marketeer in the desert (but this is expensive). For Paldium Fragments, mine blue ore nodes – they respawn after a few days.
- Storage: Charms don’t stack, but you can store them in a chest. They don’t degrade or expire, so keep spares for different situations.
- Common mistake: Forgetting to check the schematic’s rarity – the epic charm requires a High Quality Workbench, not the basic one. Also, don’t confuse Ancient Civilization Parts with Ancient Paldium – they’re different items.
- Efficiency: Farm the Mount Obsidian chest first, as it has the highest drop rate for the epic charm. Use a flying Pal to reach it quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Use the Defense Charm when exploring high-level areas like the Volcano or the Desert to reduce incoming damage. Switch to the Capture Charm before hunting rare Pals to increase your success rate. The Attack Charm is great for boss fights, and the Stamina Charm helps with long-distance gliding or sprinting.
Variations
While these are the four standard charms, you can also find higher-tier versions (e.g., Epic Defense Charm) in later game dungeons. The recipes are similar but require more rare materials. Additionally, some players prefer to use the ‘Shiny’ variants that drop from specific alpha Pals – these offer the same effects but with a different visual.
Storage and Reheating
Charms are permanent items – they don’t need ‘reheating’ or maintenance. Store them in a chest at your base to keep them safe. If you’re carrying multiple, they take up one slot each, so manage your inventory. There’s no durability loss, so you can use them indefinitely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I equip more than one charm at a time?
A: No, you can only equip one charm in the accessory slot. You’ll need to swap them in your inventory depending on the situation.
Q: Do the charm effects stack with other accessories?
A: Yes, they stack with other accessories like the Attack Pendant or Defense Pendant, but not with another charm.
Q: What’s the fastest way to get the epic charm schematic?
A: The Mount Obsidian chest has the highest drop rate, but it’s a high-level area. Alternatively, defeat the Sealed Realm boss repeatedly – it drops the schematic with a lower chance but is easier to farm.
Q: Can I craft charms at any workbench?
A: The basic charms need only a regular Crafting Bench, but the epic charm requires a High Quality Workbench. Check the schematic’s tooltip for the required workbench.
Q: Are there any other charm types?
A: As of version 1.0, these four are the only charms in the game. Future updates may add more, but these are the current set.
Q: Do charms work in multiplayer?
A: Yes, they work in both single-player and multiplayer, but each player must craft and equip their own.
