Palworld has recently seen a ton of new additions, and it's all thanks to a patch implemented by its developer, Pocketpair. The release of the major Feybreak update has helped the game grow even more with the content it brings, enhancing the experience for those who continue to enjoy the game. While there are clear reasons that show why the Feybreak update is so great, such as the new and much bigger island to explore, there is one that hasn't gotten as much attention but is still something players should take note of due to how useful it is.
Those looking to enjoy Palworld's postgame content will be required to do constant grinding to obtain whatever they want, and with the Feybreak update adding even more items and equipment, that can seem much tougher than before. Thankfully, the recent patch has also introduced a new way of lessening the process, and it's called the Pal Expedition Station. Once unlocked when a player hits level 15, it can be built and used to send out Pals to obtain resources of one's choosing. Based on that, the seemingly simple addition can do a lot for players, especially those aiming to enjoy acquiring everything the game has after they've done what they can.
What Do You Think of the New Island in Palworld’s Feybreak expansion?
I will never be disappointed with the addition of more islands in Palworld - I find each and every area interesting and relaxing to explore, and the idea of discovering new Pals is always super exciting. Feybreak in particular, is definitely the best yet, with a size to explore of around 3x Sakurajima. I can only hope that the game continues to add more expansions such as this to truly create a huge open-world universe over time.
How the Pal Expedition Station Is So Useful for People Wanting to Get Palworld’s Endgame Content
The Pal Expedition Station might not be the flashiest new addition, but its utility certainly makes it very important. For those who are already aiming to obtain the special equipment of Palworld, then having this structure is a must-have, as it allows for things such as:
- Letting Pals obtain resources found on Palworld's new Feybreak Island to all the others, ensuring that there is a guaranteed way of obtaining whatever common or rare materials a player needs
- Allowing players to get double the efficiency of obtaining the materials needed to unlock what they're after, as they and their Pals on the expedition can go on the hunt at the same time
- Making it easier to work on unlocking multiple things in the same instance, as the expeditions could result in bringing back resources necessary for one piece of equipment while players work on finding whatever is needed for another
While it does take beating the tower bosses of Palworld to unlock more areas that Pals can be sent to via the expedition station, it's worthwhile if it means a faster and easier way of obtaining endgame items. Hopefully, more players are utilizing the usefulness of the structure, as not doing so can be a wasted opportunity.
Why the Pal Expedition Station Is Great for Palworld Endgame Completionists
Aside from helping obtain important weapons and armor, the Pal Expedition Station is also great for those looking to unlock nearly everything once they've gotten to the endgame scenario. For instance, players can send out Pals to obtain the game's Ancient Civilization Parts, a material whose acquiring methods are limited and are needed to craft certain technologies. Another is that it can result in obtaining local ingredients from whatever island an expedition is set, making it great for those who intend to cook all the food in Palworld that there is to make. It's clear that Pal Expedition Station makes it much easier for those who are trying to 100% the game, and Pocketpair will likely continue to update it to help with that effort for future content that will be added.
Content such as the Pal Expedition Station is why Palworld's Feybreak update is a big success, as it gives people more reason to play even after they've beaten everything in the game there is to beat. Hopefully, Pocketpair sees how much value there is in its utility and continues to give it the attention it deserves in future patches, or create and introduce other similar structures that are just as useful.
