How to get Ancient Technology Points

Ancient Technology Points come from defeating bosses — tower bosses, field alpha bosses and raid encounters — not from levelling. That makes boss clearing, not grinding, the route to the ancient tech tree.

Updated for the current Palworld patch

Key takeaways
  • Tower bosses
  • Field alpha bosses
  • Raid and event encounters
  • Do not skip re-clears

Tower bosses

The largest single awards. Each tower boss is a scripted fight with a known weakness, so bringing the right elemental counter matters more than raw level.

Field alpha bosses

Scattered across the map and repeatable on respawn, alphas are the steady drip of ancient points once you can kill them quickly.

Raid and event encounters

Higher-end encounters award more and also drop the crafting materials the ancient recipes consume.

Do not skip re-clears

Bosses respawn. A short rotation of three or four alphas you can kill fast beats hunting one hard fight you barely survive.

Bring the counter element

Elemental matchups swing these fights hard. Use the Pal Stars damage calculator and elemental chart to pick the attacker before you walk in.
