As time progresses, players are eager to get better and stronger upgrades of base equipment. Unfortunately, getting these items requires “Schematics” that you can’t easily acquire. This guide will provide players with a list of all available blueprints and how to farm them.
What are Schematics?
These blueprints are randomly obtained items that can be acquired through various means. While some are needed for the base versions, like the Bowler and Witch hats, players can use some schematics to craft higher-quality items for multiple weapons and armor. These upgraded copies provide significant boosts to your offensive and defensive capabilities. Getting the best weapons and armor should be your priority if you need better items to take on more powerful Pals.
List of All High-Quality Schematics
There are several types of schematics available in Palworld. The easiest to get are the base ones, but some higher-quality blueprints can only be obtained as loot drops from raids and bosses. You can only use some of the most powerful weapons and armor once you have received their component, which includes their crafting formula. Here is the list of known Schematics in the game:

How to Farm Schematics in Palworld
There are several ways to farm schematics in the game. While some can only be obtained randomly, some enemies or bosses drop specific ones. If you are looking for particular blueprints, you should determine if they are directly tied to certain Pals or by chance. Here are the known ways to farm schematics in the game:
Opening Chests
Chests can contain various schematics, ranging from base version items to higher-quality ones. Treasure troves opened without keys are bound to provide beginner-friendly blueprints. Meanwhile, those who require Copper or Silver Keys can drop uncommon ones.
These chests are relatively easy to find, but the keys required are not. The best ways to get them are by doing raids and completing them. However, these events can range from meager assaults from wild Pals to full-on invasions of PDL forces, so be prepared to defend your base from these attacks.
Schematics from Raids
Aside from keys, raiders can drop schematics from time to time—the more complicated the raids, the better the rewards. High-level Human invaders usually drop them, so you should ensure you can defeat most of them when they assault your base. However, these attackers are typically stronger, so players must be fully prepared to repel them.
Wandering Merchant
This wandering NPC sells blueprints that players can obtain anytime they encounter him. However, these schematics only give access to beginner-friendly and mid-game sets rather than the endgame ones. Players should still get them because they are still crucial for various situations.
The Wandering Merchant moves from location to location. There is a chance that they pass by through your base, so you won’t have to look for them actively. Most of the time, you can find him in one of the huts in the Small Settlement.
Getting Schematics from Dungeons
One of the most consistent ways to get schematics is by raiding dungeons in Palworld. They’re caverns located in various areas in Palworld, and some of them have icons on the map to help you find them. Players can experience varying degrees of difficulty depending on the recommended level for the dungeon. For the most part, they have some of the most rewarding drops in the game.
After reaching the end of the dungeon or defeating the bosses, two chests await players before they exit. You can open them without keys, and they will reward you with many essential prizes. Schematics are often obtained through them, so you should consider completing them every time they refresh.
Defeating Bosses
A surefire way to get Schematics is to defeat bosses. These Alpha Pals are encountered in the overworld or instances like dungeons. You can earn rewards as long as you defeat them and capturing them provides the same loot. These elite Pals have a respawn timer, commonly one hour. If you need specific schematics, some Alphas are guaranteed to drop them. Here are the Pals that reward specific blueprints:
- Legendary Crossbow Schematics – dropped by Bushi
- Legendary Handgun Schematics – dropped by Beakon
- Legendary Assault Rifle Schematics – dropped by Blazemut
- Legendary Missile Launcher Schematics – dropped by Jetragon
- Legendary Pump Action Schematics – dropped by Suzaku
- Legendary Pal Helmet Schematics – dropped by Frostalion
- Legendary Old Bow Schematics – dropped by Kingpaca
- Legendary Cold Resistant Pal Armor Schematics – dropped by Paladius
- Legendary Heat Resistant Pal Armor Schematics – dropped by Necromus
How to Use the Schematics
Using these blueprints is simple because you only need to bring them to a Workbench. To craft the item, you have to ensure you have all the necessary materials to finish the process. Players should note that schematics are consumed after you use them to make equipment, so you will have to reacquire them again if you need to craft a duplicate.
