Unlock the powerful Ring of Mercy in Palworld with our 2026 guide—complete your Paldex and capture every unique creature with ease!

As I ventured deeper into the wilds of Palworld in 2026, my ambition to complete my Paldex grew stronger. I was determined to capture every unique creature I encountered, but the fear of delivering a fatal blow with my own hands was a constant worry. After all, what good is a powerful attack if it obliterates the very Pal you want to befriend? That's when I heard whispers among fellow tamers about a legendary artifact: the Ring of Mercy. This wasn't just a piece of gear; it was a game-changer for any dedicated Pal collector. My quest to obtain it became an epic tale of exploration, resource gathering, and strategic planning.

The first step on my journey was reaching Level 19. I spent days exploring, battling, and capturing Pals, steadily climbing the experience ladder. Finally, I unlocked the requisite tier in the technology tree. There it was, shimmering on the far right in the Ancient Technology section: the blueprint for the Ring of Mercy. But the recipe demanded rare materials, a true test of my perseverance. The shopping list was daunting:

Resource Amount Needed
Ingot 30
Paldium Fragment 20
Ancient Civilization Parts 5

I quickly realized that unlocking this item required a special currency: Ancient Technology Points. Regular Technology Points wouldn't cut it here. Thankfully, I only needed two of them. My research pointed me towards two primary methods: challenging the formidable Pal Tamers in their towers or hunting down powerful Alpha Pals scattered across the map. For a tamer of my level, the latter seemed more approachable.

The key was targeting one of the easier Alpha Pals, a creature known as Chillet. After a tense battle, I emerged victorious and was rewarded with my first two Ancient Technology Points! With the recipe unlocked, the real grind began.

Acquiring 30 Ingots was my next major hurdle. I needed 60 Ore. I remembered a rich mining spot marked on my map and set off with a sturdy pickaxe and a Pal adept at mining. The clinking of metal echoed for hours.

Back at my base, I fed all 60 Ore into my trusty Primitive Furnace, watching with satisfaction as they slowly smelted into shiny Ingots. I also knew I could have automated this process earlier by building an Ore Mining Site at Level 15 and assigning a Pal to work there—a tip for future crafters!

Next, I needed 20 Paldium Fragments. These blue crystals weren't always easy to spot in the wild. After a somewhat fruitless search, I decided to use technology. I had unlocked the Crusher at Level 8, a marvelous device that could transform common Stone into precious Paldium Fragments. I gathered a heap of 100 Stones, fed them into the Crusher, and soon had my 20 Fragments ready.

The final component was the most mysterious: 5 Ancient Civilization Parts. These rare items only dropped from the most powerful foes. My strategy was twofold: I ventured into dark dungeons, defeating the bosses lurking within, and I continued my hunts against Alpha Pals. For the very valuable ones I captured, I employed a more... direct method. Using the Meat Cleaver, I could process them, significantly increasing my chances of obtaining these ancient parts. It was a grim task, but necessary for the greater goal.

With all materials finally in my inventory, there was one last requirement: a proper workstation. The Ring of Mercy couldn't be crafted on any old table; it required a High Quality Workbench, unlocked at Level 11. I already had one built, but for those who don't, here's what you need:

  • 15 Ingots

  • 50 Wood

  • 10 Nails

I approached my High Quality Workbench, my inventory brimming with hard-earned resources. With a deep breath, I selected the recipe. The crafting process commenced, and moments later, I held in my hands the coveted Ring of Mercy. Slipping it onto my finger, I felt a surge of new power—the 'Mercy Hit' ability.

The effect was miraculous. Now, my direct attacks would never be fatal to a wild Pal. Even if I unleashed a devastating strike on a frail, level-one Lamball, its health would never drop below one. This single HP buffer was the difference between a successful capture and a tragic accident. My capture rate skyrocketed overnight! 😊

However, I quickly learned a crucial limitation: this protection only applies to my own attacks. My partner Pals in battle are not bound by the ring's mercy. They will still fight to kill. This led to a new tactical layer in my captures. Now, when a wild Pal's health gets critically low, I immediately recall my active Pal back to its sphere. This leaves me to deliver the final, non-lethal blows myself, ensuring the target is perfectly weakened for capture. It's a dance of precision and control.

In short, the Ring of Mercy has become an indispensable part of my kit. I equip it whenever I'm hunting for rare, high-value Pals that I absolutely cannot afford to lose. When I'm just exploring or clearing areas without the intent to capture, I make sure to take it off—there's no need for mercy when you're gathering resources or defending your base! This journey taught me that in Palworld, true power isn't just about dealing damage, but about having the control to hold back when it matters most.
