Collecting 10 versions of the same Pal will not only give you an XP boost but will also help prepare you for the end-game challenges. Here is how to rank up Pals in Palworld.
Palworld: How to rank up Pals
While leveling up Pals will increase their overall power and health, ranking them up is another thing entirely and will impact their skills and power potential more so than leveling up. However, you will have to wave some Pals goodbye.
You see, to rank up Pals in Palworld, you will have to use a structure called Pal Distillation Pod, which will require you to sacrifice a specific amount of Pals to rank up a single version of that same Pal. However, as you might expect, you need to unlock this structure, and to do so, you will need to be at least level 14 and have an Ancient Technology point.
The best source for Ancient Technology points is to battle and defeat Pal bosses across the world. The ones you find across the wild will give you a single Ancient Technology point, so that will be perfect for your Pal Distillation Pod. I suggest traveling north to the Chillet boss battle spot since this Pal will only be a level 11 Pal, which arguably is a very easy level to get to and defeat.
Once you have unlocked the Pal Distillation Pod, you can build it by spending 20 Paldium Fragments and 50 Ingots. The last one will have you collect 100 Ores to convert them to said Ingots through the Smelter. Before you go ahead and rank up any random Pal, be sure to pick one with the best passive skills. Otherwise, you will end up with a lesser-tier Pal. You will need an increasing number of Pals to get to rank 4:
- Rank 1: 8 Pals
- Rank 2: 16 Pals
- Rank 3: 32 Pals
- Rank 4: 64 Pals

As you can see, you will end up capturing almost the entire population of Pals across the world. However, if you are going to battle the most powerful Pals, then there is no other way. Have fun sacrificing those Pals!
