Pocketpair's Palworld, with its expansive open world and mystical creatures, continues to captivate players. The Feybreak DLC added numerous crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. This guide will detail how to obtain and utilize this crucial resource for crafting high-level equipment.
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. To obtain them, you must capture or defeat Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Dark-elemental Pals from other islands will not drop Dark Fragments. You'll need to venture inland from the coastal areas, as the beach and gravel areas primarily contain ground and water-type Pals. Some Pals, like Starryon, are only found at night unless they are boss variants.
Each captured or defeated Dark-elemental Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Efficient hunting is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals drop Dark Fragments (drop rates are approximate):
Pal Name | Drop Rate |
---|---|
Starryon | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Omascul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Splatterina | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct | 1 Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Starryon (Midnight Blue Mane) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Starryon | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Omascul (Hundred-Faced Apostle) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Splatterina (Crismon Butcher) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct (Born of the Thunderclouds) | 1 Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct (Guardian of the Dark Flame) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Omascul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Splatterina | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
While rare, single Dark Fragments can sometimes be found randomly scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is recommended.
Dark Fragments are a relatively specialized crafting material. They are primarily used to create high-end saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and advanced boots for your character.
Remember to unlock the necessary schematics in your Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points before you can craft these items. You will also need the appropriate machines and other resources.
Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments:
