Two grind systems got much cheaper in Palworld 1.0: Capture Bonus and Condensation. Here is how to use them efficiently.
Capture Bonus (5 catches)
- Complete a species bonus after 5 captures (was 12)
- Great time to fill Paldex gaps before mutation breeding
- Lucky Pals give bonus XP and enhancement items on capture
- Max rank now costs 48 total Pals (was 116)
- Revisit species you abandoned mid-grind
- Pair with Stat Enhancement Fruits crafted from Lotus
- Capture five of any species you plan to breed
- Condense combat Pals first, then base workers
- Start mutation breeding only after parent passives are acceptable
