Where is the Pal Merchant in Palworld?
Small Settlement is the first reliable location, with additional merchants in each hub town and at roadside camps pinned on /map.
Can you buy Pals in Palworld?
Yes. Pal Merchants sell live Pals for Gold, with stock that rotates on a real-time timer.
Can merchants be captured?
Yes — throwing a sphere at a merchant lets you assign them to your base as a permanent on-site shop.
What should I buy from merchants?
Cake ingredients, seeds and ammunition. They are cheap in Gold and expensive in real time to farm.
How do I get Gold fast in Palworld?
Sell surplus bred Pals and duplicate loot, clear Syndicate camps, and mine Gold nodes — see /guides/gold-mining.
Do merchant prices change?
Prices are fixed per item, but stock lists rotate, so revisit or fast travel away and back to reroll inventory.
