The need to expand your base is one of the biggest draws of Palworld. Doing so unlocks new technologies that allow you to build advanced structures. However, to enhance your base further, you'll need to produce new materials. When you reach player level 10, you can unlock the Nail, which allows you to create advanced items like the High-Quality Workbench and Sphere Workbench.

Crafting nails in Palworld isn't a simple affair, as it requires you to craft a few more things beforehand. The instructions below aim to make the process clear and helpful for players who have been struggling with it.

Craft the Primitive Furnace and Capture Fire Element Pals

In order to craft Nails, first, you will have to build a Primitive Furnace. Like Nails, this item also unlocks at level 10. You will need to spend technology points to unlock both the nails and the said furnace. The Primitive Furnace will also require 50 Stone, 20 Wood, and 3 Flame Organ resources.

While stone and wood are relatively easy to find, some players might be puzzled about Flame Organs, especially if they haven't encountered Fire Element Pals yet. One such Pal is the Foxsparks, which isn't far away from the starting area. It can be found near the Plateau of Beginnings. Defeating the fox-like creature will reward you with 2 Flame Organs and 2 Leather. You will also need to capture a Foxsparks creature or other Fire Element Pal, so you can use it for the Primitive Furnace.

Craft Ingot Using Furnace and Pals

The next step in your journey to craft Nails is to first craft Ingots. You can do so by mining ores found in brownish-red ore blocks, which are liberally available around the world of Palworld.

Once you have the ore in your inventory, deposit it into the Primitive Furnace and assign the captured Foxsparks to kindle the flame. If you have another Fire Element pal, feel free to use that one for the task. Crafting one nail requires 8 ingots, so stock up on as much ore as you can carry.

Mining ore is a time-consuming task, so using Rushoars to speed up the mining process is a smart move. Use the mount and charge toward the ore blocks to mine over 20 ores at once.

Craft Nails

After producing ingots, head back to the Primitive Workbench and deposit the ingots to craft nails. Nails are essential for advanced structures, like the High-Quality Workbench, Medieval Potions Table, and more. Weapons like the Crossbow also require nails, so it's not an item you can afford to miss.
