To get Mythical Wood in Palworld 1.0, go to the World Tree biome, drink one World Tree biome water, then quickly chop the trees around you with an axe or Plasma Cutter before the water effect wears off.
Mythical Wood is a rare, high-tier crafting resource added with the Palworld 1.0 launch, and it comes from the trees in the new World Tree biome. The good news is you don’t have to fight your way deep into the area to farm it — you can pull it from trees right at the start of the biome. The one thing you can’t skip is the World Tree biome water: drink one, and the trees around you become farmable for a short window.

What you need before farming Mythical Wood
| Requirement | What |
|---|---|
| World Tree biome access | Reach the start area of the World Tree biome — no need to travel deep in. |
| World Tree biome water | Carry at least one and drink it right before you start chopping. |
| Cutting tool | Equip an axe or the Plasma Cutter to fell the trees. |
The farm itself is simple, but it only works if three things line up. You need to be standing inside the World Tree biome, you need at least one World Tree biome water to drink, and you need a tool that can take a tree down. A basic axe does the job, and so does the Plasma Cutter — the new 1.0 gathering tool (sometimes referred to as the Plasma Multicutter) that pulls both ore and wood and can be used while riding a Pal.
You don’t need a stockpile of water for a single run — one is enough to start farming. Bring more only if you plan to keep resetting the effect and clearing trees across a longer session.
How to farm Mythical Wood in the World Tree biome
Once you’re in the biome with water in your inventory, the whole loop takes seconds — drink, chop, and keep moving.
STEP 1/5
Enter the World Tree biome
Head into the biome; the start area works fine, so you don’t need to push far inside.
STEP 2/5
Drink one World Tree biome water
Use a single World Tree biome water on your character to activate the farming window.
STEP 3/5
Find any nearby tree
Look at the trees right around you — any of them can be farmed for Mythical Wood.
STEP 4/5
Chop it with an axe or Plasma Cutter
Take the tree down with your axe or the Plasma Cutter to collect the Mythical Wood.
STEP 5/5
Keep farming nearby trees quickly
The water effect doesn’t last long, so clear the surrounding trees fast before it fades.
Drink the water first, then sprint between trees — the effect is short, so line up a cluster of trees before you drink so you can chop several in one window.
Reaching the World Tree area if it’s still locked
If the World Tree biome isn’t open on your map yet, there’s a longer progression path to unlock it before you can farm anything. It runs through a marked quest NPC, a crafted item, and a boss fight, and it grants permanent access to the area once you’re done. Exact coordinates, quest numbers, and the player level you’ll want are not fully pinned down, so treat the route as the shape of what to do rather than a precise checklist.
STEP 1/6
Find the World Tree quest NPC
Reach the marked location tied to the World Tree quest in the 1.0 world.
STEP 2/6
Get the Echoing Flute blueprint
Speak to the NPC to receive the Echoing Flute recipe and see four whale bone spots marked on your map.
STEP 3/6
Collect the whale bones
Travel to each marked location and grab the quest items there.
STEP 4/6
Craft the Echoing Flute
Return to base and build the Echoing Flute at a workbench.
STEP 5/6
Trigger the shrine event
Go back to the NPC’s shrine and start the encounter to face the boss Pal Felaris.
STEP 6/6
<
p class=”vg-step-title” id=”beat-felaris-and-use-the-terminal” style=”margin:16px 0 6px”>Beat Felaris and use the terminal
Defeat Felaris, then interact with the nearby terminal to lock in permanent access to the World Tree area.
Some players also describe needing a World Tree-related passive Pal — or a Rainbow passive Pal — in the party so the trees don’t vanish as you approach, which is a different condition from the water method. The water is the reliable route shown in action, so if a tree yields only normal wood, that’s the first thing to sort out.

Getting Mythical Wood from the Ancient Relic Recycler later
KEY!The World Tree trees aren’t the only source once you’re deeper into 1.0. After you build the Ancient Relic Recycler, you can feed materials into it to generate more Mythical Wood without heading back to the biome every time. The exact inputs and how much wood you get per cycle aren’t consistently documented yet, so lean on the biome farm as your dependable method and treat the Recycler as a convenience once it’s up.
Fixing failed Mythical Wood farming runs
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Chopping trees outside the World Tree biome | Only trees inside the biome drop Mythical Wood — get back into the area first. |
| Forgot to drink the water | Drink one World Tree biome water before you swing at anything. |
| Waited too long after drinking | Start chopping immediately and move between trees fast — the effect fades quickly. |
| Farming regular trees at base | Normal trees give normal wood; you need the World Tree biome trees specifically. |
| Mixing it up with other 1.0 resources | Mythical Wood is its own World Tree resource, separate from ores like Paloxite or Soralite. |
Almost every failed run comes down to one of a few small mistakes. The most common is simply chopping the wrong trees — regular trees, whether they’re at your base or just outside the biome, only give normal wood. The other big one is timing: the water effect is short, so if you drink it and then wander around deciding which tree to hit, you’ll miss the window entirely.
Where Mythical Wood fits in 1.0 crafting
Mythical Wood is worth the trip because it sits at the top end of the 1.0 crafting chain. It’s tied to the World Tree content and the Ancient Relic Recycler, which itself pulls in high-end materials like Pal Metal Ingots and Ancient Civilization parts. Exact recipe quantities aren’t nailed down yet, but if you’re chasing end-game builds in 1.0, a steady supply of Mythical Wood is one of the pieces you’ll keep coming back for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Mythical Wood from any tree in Palworld?
No. Only the trees inside the World Tree biome yield Mythical Wood, and only while the water effect is active. Regular trees anywhere else give ordinary wood.
Do you need World Tree biome water to get Mythical Wood?
Yes for the reliable method — drink one World Tree biome water before you start chopping, and the surrounding trees become farmable for a short window.
How long does the World Tree water effect last?
It’s brief. The exact duration isn’t documented, but it runs out fast, so chop the trees around you quickly rather than lining up one at a time.
Can the Plasma Cutter get Mythical Wood?
Yes. Both a standard axe and the Plasma Cutter can take down the World Tree biome trees and collect Mythical Wood while the effect is active.
Can the Ancient Relic Recycler make Mythical Wood?
Players report the Ancient Relic Recycler as a later source once you’ve built it, letting you generate more Mythical Wood from other materials. The exact inputs and output amounts aren’t consistently documented yet.
