In Palworld, buy and sell values are affected by the level of the Pals. Learn the formula for buy and sell values, how different Pal upgrades, including active and passive skills, affect their values, and if different merchants have different prices.

Pal Buy and Sell Values Explained

• Values Are Based on Pal Level
• Active and Passive Skills Do Not Affect Sell Value
• Sell Values Are Same For Any Merchant
• Pal Base Values are Different

Values Are Based on Pal Level

In our testing, we found that the prices of Pals are based solely on their levels. This means Alpha Bosses and Lucky Pals do not increase their value in Gold Coins.

The buy and sell values of each Pal are determined by a base price that must be plugged into formulas to determine the buying and selling values.

Buy Values Sample

The Buy Value of a Pal is its base price multiplied by a factor based on its level. At level 1, this would be 1.65x, 1.8x for level 2, and so on. This means buying a level 50 Pal would be 9 times its base price.

In the example above, we can calculate the base price for Dinossom Lux to be 3,380.

Sell Values Sample

The Sell Value of a Pal depends on the Buy Value, meaning it also scales with level. Simply put, the selling price of a Pal is the buying price divided by 20, rounded down.

Active and Passive Skills Do Not Affect Sell Value

We also found that skills do not affect a Pal's sell value. We compared several Jolthogs of the same level but with different combinations of skills. One Jolthog was fed an Epic Skill Fruit, as well, to imbue an additional active skill.

Skills vs Sell Value Testing

We were also able to compare a Level 25 Swee with a Tier 3 skill and a second Swee of the same level with a -1 Tier skill, and both Pals still had the same sell value.

Pal Merchant and Black Marketeer Have Same Sell Values

Selling a Pal to either the Pal Merchants or the Black Marketeers will provide the same value, so you don't have to worry about finding the best merchant for the highest profits.

Pal Base Values are Different

Different Pals have different base values. This means that different Pals of the same level may have different selling and buying prices.
