Discover the best Palworld Quartz locations and top mining tips to maximize your haul and upgrade your gear across the Palpagos Islands.

Hey fellow Pal-tamers! 🙌 Let me tell you, as we dive deeper into 2026, the demand for Quartz in Palworld has only gone up, up, UP! Remember those early days when we were just smashing rocks for Ore? Cute. Now, all the coolest tech, from advanced Pal gear to fancy base modules, needs a hefty supply of this sparkly mineral. If you're tired of scrounging for bits and pieces, you've come to the right place. I've spent countless in-game nights (and real-life weekends, oops) mapping out the absolute best quartz hauls across the Palpagos Islands. Trust me, knowing where to look is half the battle won. So grab your warmest gear and your best mining Pal, and let's get into it!

First things first, a pro-tip: don't even think about a big mining run without a plan for your inventory. Quartz is heavy, my friends. You'll either need to seriously pump up your Weight stat, have a loyal Wumpo or Wump Botan by your side to carry your burdens, or—my personal favorite strategy—drop a Palbox right at the mining spot. Being able to teleport your loot back to base in a flash? Game-changer.

❄️ Location #1: The Frosty Starter Spot

Nestled in the Frostbound Mountains, just north of Verdant Brook, this is your go-to spot when you first realize you need more than just Ore. It's like the game's gentle introduction to quartz mining. You can find about 5 deposits here. But honestly, the real treasure might be the Pals you meet along the way—perfect for upgrading your base workforce from those basic Lv1 helpers. Just... bundle up, okay? The cold is no joke.

🏔️ Location #2: The Astral Mountains Goldmine

Alright, pack your bags because we're heading north—way north—to the Astral Mountains. This entire island is basically a quartz paradise, but this first spot is something else. The number of deposits here can be insane, though it does vary a bit per world. A little heads-up: some tough human enemies like to hang around here, so maybe don't come completely unprepared. On the bright side, this is prime Wumpo territory! Snagging one of these fluffy powerhouses isn't just great for carrying all your quartz; their Lv4 Handiwork will turn your base into a well-oiled machine. Talk about a two-for-one deal!

🌌 Location #3: The Sparkling Night Slope

This one's for the night owls! At the very northern tip of the map, you'll find quartz deposits scattered on a slope. During the day, it's nice. But at night? It's magical. These babies sparkle from a mile away, especially when you're soaring in on your flying mount. It's like the game is putting on a light show just for you. While the total count might be a tad lower than other spots, the ease of spotting them makes this a must-visit. Perfect for a quick, picturesque mining trip.

⛏️ Location #4: The Ultimate Mining Base Candidate

Okay, listen up. If you're thinking of setting up a dedicated mining outpost, this is the spot. My jaw dropped when I found it. Not only is it packed with Quartz nodes, but it often spawns precious Ore deposits right alongside them. In 2026, needing both resources constantly, developing this location is a no-brainer. One crucial management tip: if you assign Pals to work here, make sure none of them have the Lumbering skill. The place is also full of trees, and you don't want your miners getting distracted and becoming accidental lumberjacks when there's quartz to be mined!

🌲 Location #5: The Forested Quartz Haven

Last but not least, we have another forested area that's absolutely riddled with quartz. Yes, there are trees everywhere, but look past them—the mineral wealth is real. This location screams for a Palbox. Drop one, let your Pals go to town, and teleport the riches home. Now, for the real endgame power move: get yourself an Astegon. This majestic Dark/Dragon-type Pal is a late-game beast for a reason. Its 'Black Ankylosaur' Partner Skill skyrockets your mining efficiency while you're mounted. Swinging your pickaxe with an Astegon beneath you feels like using a laser cutter on butter. It's that much of a difference maker for your quartz runs.

So there you have it! From early-game chills in the Frostbound Mountains to late-game power mining with Astegon in the deep north, quartz doesn't have to be a headache. Plan your trips, gear up properly, and happy farming! Remember, in Palworld, fortune favors the prepared (and the well-dressed for cold weather) 😉.

Quick Recap Checklist:

  • ☑️ Bring a carrying-capacity Pal or boost your Weight.

  • ☑️ Consider placing a Palbox for instant loot transport.

  • ☑️ Wear cold resistance gear for northern spots.

  • ☑️ For maximum efficiency, aim to partner with Astegon later on.

  • ☑️ Manage base Pals' skills to keep them focused on mining.

Go get that sparkle! ✨
