Palworld Players Need New Tools to Track Down Hidden Chromite Deposits
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new Palworld guide from Polygon explains how to find and mine buried chromite deposits on Feybreak Island using either a metal detector or a Smokie Pal.
As you push into the endgame of Palworld, upgrading your gear means tracking down new materials that do not simply sit out in the open waiting to be mined. According to a detailed guide from Polygon, finding chromite requires a shift in strategy because these deposits are buried underground on Feybreak Island. To unearth them, players must rely on either a crafted metal detector or the specialized tracking skill of a Pal named Smokie. Both options unlock at level 58 in the technology tree, giving players a clear progression milestone to aim for as they expand their base-building and crafting capabilities.
While carrying a metal detector equipped in your weapon loadout is a reliable way to manually hunt for the ore by following audio and visual pings, utilizing Smokie and its partner skill offers a faster, automated alternative for digging up the resource. Heading directly into locations like the Shield Dragon Tunnel on Feybreak Island will put you right in prime chromite territory, though you will need to clear out local threats like the Silvegis alpha Pal before you start farming. For players looking to maximize their late-game efficiency, understanding how to source these materials without wasting inventory slots or rare crafting components makes all the difference.
Palworld continues to evolve its survival crafting loop, demanding more specialized exploration from communities that have already mastered the base game islands. Whether you prefer min-maxing your active party slots by bringing along a Smokie or saving a slot and using the utility item instead, knowing exactly where to look saves hours of frustrating wandering. Head over to Polygon for the complete breakdown of crafting requirements and exact map coordinates to streamline your late-game resource grind.
