Palworld v1.0.3 Patch Notes: Jetragon Gear Tweaks and Quality of Life Changes
Palworld update v1.0.3 lowers technology unlock levels for Jetragon gear and the Aquatic Construction Kit, slashes crude oil production costs, and fixes several co-op and progression bugs.
Pocketpair has released Palworld update v1.0.3, bringing substantial economy tweaks, reduced crafting requirements for high-end gear, base building adjustments, and a lengthy list of stability fixes across multiplayer and single-player modes.
Equipment and Crafting Adjustments
Jetragon-related technology unlocks drop from level 79 to level 70, alongside reduced material costs for the Pal Gear mount. The Aquatic Construction Kit moves from level 66 down to level 23, its Ancient Technology Point requirement drops from 4 to 1, and work amounts are adjusted. World Tree Holy Water duration increases, its weight drops from 1 to 0.1, and it now appears in World Tree expedition and fishing rewards, as well as Teafant Spring drops. Crafting work amounts for the Ancient Armor series are adjusted, and tree chopping now yields double the amount of Fiber.
Base Improvements and Missions
Building costs decrease for the Crude Oil Extractor, High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor, and Large Power Generator. Crude oil production speed increases for both extractors, and base missions requiring a Crude Oil Extractor can now be progressed using the High-Pressure version instead. A new server setting, bAllowEnemyCampSpawnNearBaseCamp, disables the suppression of enemy camp spawns near player bases.
Multiplayer and Server Fixes
Client-side lighting errors after cutscenes or endings in co-op are resolved, along with stuttering during the entry cutscene for The World Tree. Dedicated servers no longer trigger accidental Fast Travel during Tower Boss fights, and client screens will no longer display rapid Pal vibrations.
Pals, Bosses, and Combat Fixes
Summoned Pals no longer randomly stop fighting or helping with base work. Orserk and certain other Pals now correctly display Partner Skill effect updates in multiplayer. Alpha Surfent now drops Leather when assigned to a Ranch, and raid boss progression blockers have been addressed. Additionally, Panthalus attacks now match their actual damage ranges to their wave effects.
Bug Fixes and Display Settings
Stair and slanted roof placement detection is corrected, and stairs can now be placed properly on the sides of foundations or roofs. Resolution settings now apply correctly in fullscreen mode, fullscreen toggles via F11 or Alt+Enter no longer revert unintentionally after loading, and screen-blurring effects during aiming have been fixed.
Why this patch matters
Update v1.0.3 delivers practical quality-of-life upgrades that make end-game exploration and base management less tedious while clearing out persistent co-op bugs.
