How To Get Ancient Technology Points in Palworld

Difference Between Ancient And Standard Technology Points

Making new tools is the name of the game in Palworld, and technology points are your key to unlocking the best possible ones. Think of these points as a currency within the game’s technology tree that are used to make your character, Pals (captured creatures), and base stronger.

Standard Technology Points

Standard technology points are the workhorse of your progression. You can get these in a plethora of ways – through leveling up your character, capturing Pals, and exploring the world to activate fast travel points.

They act as the building blocks for your initial development. The crafting recipes you unlock with them are usually essential in the early-middle game:

• Basic Tools and Weapons: Things like your pickaxes and axes, and rudimentary weapons to defend yourself against wild Pals.
• Structures for Survival: Shelters to protect yourself from the elements, crafting stations to refine materials, and enclosures to house your captured Pals.
• Early-game Utilities: Handy gadgets like fishing rods and basic traps to capture Pals.

Standard technology points are what you’ll use to establish yourself in Palworld. Building the necessary infrastructure to survive, gather resources, and start your adventure as a Pal trainer all happens through them.

Ancient Technology Points

Once you’ve gone a bit deeper into the rabbit hole that is Palworld, you’ll find a more specialized type of technology point – Ancient Technology Points. These precious (and we mean precious) points can be obtained by defeating the most powerful of enemies like Syndicate Tower bosses and legendary Alpha Pals scattered throughout the world. Ancient Technology Points unlock a unique tier of recipes within the technology tree, granting access to advanced items like:

• High-Tier Equipment: Strong weapons and specialized tools for the most difficult tasks and enemies.
  
  
• Advanced Structures: Blueprints for structures that more or less transform your base’s functionality, such as advanced storage facilities, industrial production stations, and high-tech training facilities for your Pals.
  
  
• Game-Changing Tech: Items like the Egg Incubator, allowing you to hatch captured Pal eggs, or the Grapple Gun that gives you mobility like nothing else for exploration and resource gathering.

If you love Palworld, these points are your ticket to unlocking the game’s full potential. Those enemies that seem to never die will suddenly start melting, your base’s operations will run like a well-oiled factory, and you’ll get quality of life upgrades that make the game so much more fun.

How To Get Ancient Technology Points

This is the hard part. Ancient Technology Points in Palworld are a lot more difficult to get than Standard Technology Points, which makes sense since they’re also a lot more useful, but bear in mind that this will be a bit of a grind.

Here’s all the ways you can get them:

1. Syndicate Towers

Syndicate Towers are spread out all across the Palworld map. You’ve probably come across one or two in your time playing the game so far. These structures have the biggest and baddest bosses in the game.

Beat the boss here, and you’ll be generously rewarded with 5 Ancient Technology Points.

The trick here is to be as prepared for the fight as possible. Before challenging a Syndicate Tower, scout the area and find what its weaknesses are. This will let you get your strongest Pal types that counter the boss’s element for the best chance at winning. Make sure to equip them with the right gear, and the rest is up to your fighting tactics.

Here’s a quick list of five easy-to-find Syndicate Towers that you can try depending on your current level:

1. Tower of Rayne Syndicate (Level 16)
2. Tower of Free Pal Alliance (Level 32)
3. Tower of Brothers of the Eternal Pyre (Level 41)
4. Tower of the PIDF (Level 45)

2. Dungeon Diving

If you’ve ever been in a Palworld dungeon, you’ve probably had an interesting time to say the least. Dungeons have a lot of good rewards, but they’ll definitely make you work for them. That said, they’re still one of the best ways to get Ancient Technology Points.

Once you’ve gotten through the maze, you’ll be fighting a dungeon boss that awaits at the end. Beat them, and like the Syndicate Towers, you’ll be rewarded with some Ancient Technology Points, though the exact amount will change depending on the dungeon you’re in.

Also, similar to the Syndicate Towers, taking on these dungeons is best done when you’ve got careful preparation on your side. Make sure the Pals you take are well-equipped for the challenge, and consider a trial run or walkthrough of the dungeon beforehand so you know what you’re in for.

3. Alpha Pals

Alpha Pals are like the dinosaurs and dragons of the Palworld. And like dinosaurs and dragons, you can expect them to absolutely obliterate you if you’re not ready for the fight. These apex predators can only be found in specific regions and will be the hardest pals to capture.

If you do beat and capture one, though, you’ll get a handful of those elusive Ancient Technology Points. This makes them a worthwhile endeavor if you feel you’re skilled and high-leveled enough to take them on.

However, and we can’t understate this, Alpha Pals are no pushovers. Approach them with caution and strategize your capture attempt. Put down all the traps you can, use tranquilizer darts, and coordinate your Pal attacks to defeat them.
