“Technology Points” are very important in Palworld. If you want to unlock cool tools, build strong structures, get better weapons, or even special gear, Technology Points help a lot. This guide will explain what they are, how you get them, and how to use them smartly. I will also include examples and FAQs at the end so you don’t get stuck. Let’s jump in!
What Are Technology Points?
Before learning how to get them, you need to know what technology points are.
- Technology Points are like special scores that let you unlock recipes in the Technology Tree of Palworld. Recipes are instructions for building tools, weapons, or gear.
- There are two kinds of technology points:
- Regular Technology Points (called Technology Points) — for everyday unlocks, like building a campfire, crafting basic tools, or making shelters.
- Ancient Technology Points — rarer, used for more advanced unlocks and special items. They are harder to get.
- When you open the Technology tab in the game (in the menu), you’ll see what you can unlock with each kind. The game usually shows which unlocks need Ancient Technology Points (often in a different color in the game menu).
Knowing both kinds is important because you’ll need them to grow in the game.
How to Get Regular Technology Points
Here are the main ways to collect regular Technology Points. These methods are easier to use, especially if you are starting.
Leveling Up Your Character
Every time your character gains a new level, you earn Technology Points. You gain experience (XP) by:
- Doing missions
- Fighting Pals
- Crafting
Example: If you are at level 5 and complete a quest to catch Pals or build items, reaching level 6 will reward you with points to spend.
Unlocking Fast Travel / Travel Points
When you find and activate Fast Travel points, the game rewards you with small Technology Points. You might discover:
- A great eagle statue
- A fast travel beacon.
Activating these points grants you a Technology Point.
Finding and Using Technical Manuals
Look for special items called Technology Manuals (or “Technical Manuals”) in chests or from defeating strong enemies. Using these manuals gives you extra Technology Points.
Example: You explore a dungeon, find a chest, and discover a High-Grade Technical Manual. When you use it, you receive +1 point.
Completing Quests and Missions
The game offers quests from non-player characters or mission markers. Completing these quests often rewards you with:
- Technology Points
- Experience that leads to level-ups.
Example: You might get a mission like “Bring some wood and stone” or “Defeat this pal.” Finishing these tasks grants you XP and possibly a manual.
Capturing Pals and Engaging in Combat/Exploration
Catching new pals and defeating enemies gives you experience. Exploring new locations and entering dungeons also contribute to your XP. With enough XP, you can level up, which provides more Technology Points.
Example: If you catch 10 of the same type of Pal or defeat several enemies in a dungeon, you will level up.
By following these methods, you can effectively gather Technology Points in the game!
How to Get Ancient Technology Points

Ancient Technology Points are rarer and more valuable. You use them to unlock special recipes that regular points cannot unlock.
Here are some ways to get Ancient Technology Points:
Method: How It Works Example: Defeating Syndicate Tower Bosses. These are big, strong bosses in large towers in the game. When you defeat them for the first time, you get several Ancient Technology Points.
For example, you find the Rayne Syndicate Tower boss, defeat it, and you might get 5 Ancient Technology Points.
Defeating Alpha Pals. Alpha Pals are stronger versions of regular Pals. When you beat an Alpha Pal for the first time, you might get 1 Ancient Technology Point.
Dungeon Bosses. At the end of dungeons, there is often a boss. When you complete the dungeon by beating the boss, you can earn Ancient Technology Points (especially on the first clear).
Finding Ancient Technical Manuals / Items like regular manuals, but ancient ones are rarer. They might drop from bosses, in special chests, or in special areas. Using them gives Ancient Technology Points.
How to Use Technology Points Well
Having points is good, but using them smartly is key. If you spend them poorly, you might waste time.
Here are some tips to use them well:
- Open your Technology menu.
- In Palworld, press the menu (often “Esc” on PC) and find the Technology tab.
- You’ll see items you can unlock. Some need regular points; some need ancient points.
- Focus on what you need. Focus on tools, weapons, and gear that help you survive or explore. For example:
- Storage or building benches (so you can craft more).
- Weapons or gear that help with combat.
- Items that let you explore faster (mounts, gliders, etc.).
- Don’t unlock decorative things first. Decorations or non-useful items are fun, but in the early game, spend points on survival, defense, and exploration. You can unlock fun stuff later.
- Balance regular and ancient unlocks. When ancient unlocks become available, don’t ignore them. But make sure you are strong enough before fighting the bosses or exploring difficult dungeons.
- Save some points for later. Sometimes you see a recipe you like, but it isn’t useful yet. It’s smart to leave some points until later, when you can make full use of the unlocked item.
Example Walkthrough: How a New Player Would Do It
Let’s follow Sara, who started playing Palworld, to see how she can get Technology Points and use them.
- Level up! Sara starts at Level 1. She does some simple missions, catches a few Pals, gathers wood and stone, and fights some small enemies. She levels up to Level 2, 3, 4,… Each level gives her points.
- Fast Travel spots While exploring the world, Sara activates 2 Fast Travel points (or Great Eagle Statues). Each gives her 1 Technology Point. Now she has, say, +2 extra points.
- Find a manual. She enters a dungeon, opens a chest, and finds a High Grade Technical Manual. She uses it and gets +1 regular tech point.
- Defeat an Alpha Pal. Sara meets an Alpha Pal near her level. She fights, wins, and gets an Ancient Technology Point for that boss.
- Spend points. Now Sara has several regular points and one ancient point. She opens her Technology menu. She unlocks a better weapon with regular points and also unlocks one ancient recipe that needs Ancient Technology Points.
- Progress: As she explores more dungeons, defeats more bosses (including the Syndicate tower boss later), she gets stronger recipes, more manuals, and more points.
This is how you go from a beginner to more advanced in technology.
Advanced Tips to Get Technology Points Faster
Once you are more experienced, you can use some strategies to get points more efficiently.
- Explore every map corner. Unlock Fast Travel points wherever you find them. The more you explore, the greater the chance of finding Fast Travel, manual chests, and Alpha Pals.
- Farm manuals revisit dungeons or treasure areas. Look for technical manuals in chests. Some chests inside or at the end of dungeons give +1, +2, or +3 points depending on difficulty.
- Focus on first-time bosses. Only the first time you beat some bosses do you get Ancient Points. Repeat fights often give loot or parts, but not more Ancient Points. So always try to tackle new bosses.
- Beater stronger Pals / get good gear. To defeat Alpha Pals and tower bosses, you’ll need good Pals (your teammates), good weapons, and maybe some specific items. Upgrading your gear helps with that.
- Use Pal jobs or automations when possible. Sometimes your Pals can help (doing tasks while you explore, etc.), letting you gather more resources or XP over time.
- Keep an eye out for Ancient Technical Manuals. These are rarer, so when you see a chance (good dungeon, boss loot, special chest), go for it. They yield Ancient Technology Points, which are very valuable.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Here are mistakes many players make, so you don’t have to:
- Spending on things you don’t need yet—unlocking decorative items or saddles for pals you will never use—wastes points.
- Neglecting exploration—missing Fast Travel points, skipping dungeons, or not exploring—means missing out on points.
- Underestimating boss fights—Ancient Points only come from first-time boss fights or tower bosses. If you avoid those, you will miss those chances.
- Using up all points too early—then you might not have enough for something important later.
- Ignoring regular manuals—even +1 point from a chest helps; many small sources add up.
How many technology points are possible?
You might wonder: Is there a limit? Can I unlock everything?
- Yes, there is a greatest level in the game (for example, in earlier updates), and you get points for each level up.
- Also, there are many fast travel or travel-unlock points, and lots of manuals and bosses. So, with effort, you can collect many points.
But unlocking everything is a big job. It might involve exploring many areas, beating many bosses, and collecting many manuals. Many players choose only the unlocks they need first, then later go for the rest.
Examples & Mini Cases
Here are some smaller, real or modeled examples to make things clear:
- Example – First Fast-Travel Points
- You start the game, walk east, and find a Great Eagle Statue. Activate it → +1 Technology Point.
- Walk north, activate another statue → +1 more. Now you have gained two extra opportunities to unlock early tech.
- Example – Getting Ancient Technology in Mid-Game
- You’re at level 25. You take on a tower boss you’ve not defeated before—this gives you Ancient Technology Points.
- You also beat a few Alpha Pals you have not fought yet—each gives +1 Ancient Points.
- You find an Ancient Technical Manual in a chest in a high-level dungeon → use it to add to your Ancient Points total.
- Example – Smart Point Spending
- Suppose you have 5 regular Tech Points and 2 Ancient Tech Points.
- You see two regular recipes: one for a powerful shield and another for a comfy decoration. Choose the shield first (it helps you survive).
- With Ancient points, maybe unlock something that unlocks a special tool or gear. Don’t waste them on cosmetic Ancient unlocks unless you already have what you need.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Here are questions many players have, with answers, so you can play Palworld without worry.
Q1: What is the difference between Technology Points and Ancient Technology Points?
A: Regular Technology Points unlock everyday items and things like basic tools, structures, and gear in the regular Technology Tree. Ancient Technology Points are rarer and unlock special, advanced recipes or gear that regular points can’t. Ancient ones often come from boss fights or special, powerful pals.
Q2: Do you get Technology Points automatically when you level up?
A: Yes. Every time you level up, you get some regular Technology Points. Doing missions, catching Pals, fighting enemies, crafting, and exploring to gain experience are helpful.
Q3: Do I get Ancient Technology Points more than once from the same boss?
A: No. For many bosses, you only get Ancient Technology Points the first time you defeat them. Afterwards, you might get loot or other rewards, but not more Ancient Technology Points from that boss.
Q4: Where can I find Technology Manuals or Ancient Technology Manuals?
A: They drop from chests, especially in dungeons. They may also drop from certain bosses or in special treasure areas. Ancient Manuals are rarer than regular ones.
Q5: Can I unlock everything in the Tech Tree? A: Yes, it’s possible to unlock almost all unlockable items if you collect enough points (via leveling, boss fights, exploration, manuals). But it takes time and effort. Many players focus first on things they really need.
Q6: What’s the best early-game strategy to not fall behind?
A: In the early game, focus on:
- leveling up quickly (via missions, catching Pals, crafting)
- unlocking fast-travel points
- collecting as many manuals as you can
- Unlocking essential gear, weapons, storage, and tools first.
Saving points for later for special unlocks is okay, but don’t delay too much on what keeps you alive and exploring.
Summary
- Technology Points let you unlock useful stuff; Ancient Technology Points let you unlock special, advanced gear.
- To get regular points: level up, find fast travel spots, open chests, and complete missions.
- To get ancient points: beat tower bosses, Alpha Pals, dungeon bosses, and use ancient manuals.
- Use points wisely: unlock what helps you most, save for big unlocks, and avoid wasting on decorations early.
If you follow these tips, explore widely, and defeat new bosses when you can, you’ll gather a lot of Technology Points and Ancient Technology Points. That will help you grow strong, explore more, build better, and have fun in Palworld.
