Palworld - Which Difficulty Settings to Choose Banner
Palworld is a sandbox survival game with many options for playing, including difficulty and other custom settings. Here's our recommendation for difficulty settings to choose when you play Palworld.

Which Difficulty Settings to Choose

Default Settings

Palworld - Default Settings

Palworld features a robust variety of world settings you can edit. Still, there are also default difficulties you can choose from to set up your world quickly.

Normal for the Intended Experience

Normal difficulty is the standard experience that's good for any player who has experience playing survival games.

A significant difference between Normal and Casual difficulties is that you drop all your items and equipment upon dying in Normal difficulty. This can alter how you play the game, as you can travel anywhere without consequences.

Beginner's Guide: Tips and Tricks to Get Started

Casual for Pal Collectors and Base Building Enjoyers

Casual World Settings Compared to Normal Difficulty
  • 30% more EXP received
  • 2X more capture rate
  • 50% more damage from Players
  • 30% less damage to Players
  • 2X more gatherable items
  • 2X more dropped items
  • No hatching time
  • Players do not drop anything on death

The Casual difficulty is best for a stress-free environment as you collect Pals more easily and generate more materials from gathering points.

This difficulty is recommended for players seeking to build vast buildings and those planning to collect and breed a lot of Pals.

Hard Difficulty for Hardcore Survival Players

Hard World Settings Compared to Normal Difficulty
  • 20% less EXP received
  • 20% less capture rate
  • Half the damage from Players
  • 4X the damage to Players
  • 50% less gatherable items
  • 50% less dropped items
  • 36X more hatching time
  • Players drop all items, equipment, and Pals on death

Intended to be a grindy experience, the Hard difficulty setting is for survival veterans who seek a survival challenge.

Players get fewer items, fewer Pals, and less EXP, and they can die more often, punishing them by dropping all their items AND Pals.
