Palworld 0.6.4 Gameplay Changes and Quality-of-Life Updates
Several core mechanics have been tweaked to improve balance and quality of life:
- Summoned Pals Interaction
Summoned Pals no longer deal bump damage to neutral, non-hostile Pals. This helps prevent accidental aggression in the field. - Expedition Rewards
Sending an overpowered Pal team on expeditions now increases reward quantity instead of reducing expedition time. - Death & Pals Return
When a player dies, their summoned Pals are automatically returned to the party, preventing accidental losses. - Enemy Base and Map Updates
- Enemy-built bases no longer respawn once cleared.
- Death markers now appear above base icons, making it easier to track where you dropped your items.
- Fishing Enhancements
- Fishing spots now retain fish shadows even if you leave and return.
- Additional fishing locations have been added across the world.
- Fishing and salvaging sounds that previously traveled across multiplayer maps are now fixed for better immersion.
- UI and Interaction Improvements
- Clearer messaging when you can’t afford NPC Pal purchases.
- More reliable cage interactions at enemy bases.
- Building restriction radius around the Expedition Station has been adjusted, affecting base planning and placement.
- Items bought at the Flea Market are now limited to one stack per purchase to prevent overbuying and exploits.
Balance Updates
The 0.6.4 patch makes important balance adjustments, especially targeting skills, loot, and equipment:
- Trigger Happy Skill Nerf
- The Trigger Happy partner skill had unintendedly high power, especially benefiting Finsider and Finsider Ignis, making them overpowered. The ability has been toned down for fairer gameplay, though it’s still effective.
- Loot and Crafting Adjustments
- Increased legendary blueprint drop rates in Terraria dungeon chests.
- Overheat Rifle ammo now crafts 10 per batch instead of 5.
- Ancient Civilization Parts drop more frequently from certain Alpha Pals.
- Gear and Breeding Changes
- Hallowed Plate Mail now includes Heat Resistance Lv1 and Cold Resistance Lv1.
- Breeding results involving Eye of Cthulhu have been rebalanced.
- Economy and Progression Tweaks
- Adjusted selling prices for Terraria monsters.
- Raid boss rewards can now be obtained without dealing direct damage.
- Swimming speed for some Pals has been increased.
- Certain mission NPCs were moved to more level-appropriate areas.
- “Mercy” no longer applies in the Arena, which directly impacts PvP and competitive battles.
Major Bug Fixes
This update also resolves several major gameplay issues:
- Mission Progression
- Fixed cases where missions wouldn’t progress or reset.
- Pals in dimensional storage will no longer disappear.
- Dungeon Death Recovery
- If you die in a Terraria Dungeon, your items and Pals now drop outside the entrance for recovery.
- Moon Lord Raid Fixes
- Pals will no longer attack already-destroyed Moon Lord parts.
