How to Make Nails in Palworld

As you progress through Palworld’s early game, you’ll find numerous structures and items requiring nails to create. Let’s talk about how to craft nails and how you’ll use them during your playthrough.

How to Unlock Nails in Palworld

Unlocking the nails crafting recipe requires researching them in your technology menu once you reach level ten. You’ll also need to unlock the primitive furnace, which you unlock at the same level.

Since you need nails and a primitive furnace, be prepared to spend extra technology points on two nodes rather than one. If you spend your points on other items, you may have to raise your level to 11 to gain enough for the node purchase.

How to Craft Nails in Palworld

The first part of crafting nails requires building a primitive furnace using stone, wood, and flame organs before farming ores and smelting them. To melt the ore, you need a Pal with the Kindling work suitability trait to work it. An easy option is Foxparks, an early-game Pal you’ll spot just northwest of the Plateau of Beginnings.

Once you smelt your ingots, head into your workbench to find your nails recipe. Every ingot creates five nails, so you won’t have to worry about spending hundreds of ores to create enough nails for one furniture item.

What Are Nails Used for in Palworld?

Nails are a crafting material used in numerous recipes in Palworld, with a few examples including a high-quality workbench, medicine workbench, and weapons workbench, among others. Early-game weapons like crossbows also require nails, so make sure you have extras on hand if you want to upgrade your current gear.
