In Palworld 1.0, the new way to get Onion Seeds is to farm Pal #66 on the new island for Onion Seeds and Tomato Seeds, while merchants are also a newer buyable source.
Onion Seeds are now easier to chase because you are not locked into the older Cinnamoth, Mossanda, and Vaelet farms. The most active route is to hunt Pal #66 on the new island, while the cleaner cash route is to check merchants that sell seeds.
Best ways to get Onion Seeds in Palworld
| Method | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Pal #66 farming | Find Pal #66 on the new island and catch or defeat it for a chance at Onion Seeds. | Players already exploring the new island. |
| Merchant buying | Check seed-selling merchants and buy Onion Seeds when they appear in stock. | Players with spare Gold Coins. |
| Older Pal drops | Farm Cinnamoth, Mossanda, or Vaelet, or look for overworld loot. | Fallback farming before or outside the new island route. |
The direct farming method is Pal #66 on the new island. This Pal has Onion Seeds and Tomato Seeds in its possible drops, and you can get the seed by either catching it or taking it down.
KEY!Buying is the other new shortcut. Merchants such as a Wandering Merchant, Traveling Merchant, Caravan Leader, or Legendary Grocer can sell Onion Seeds, depending on the merchant stock you find.

How to get Onion Seeds from Pal #66 in Palworld
Use this route to farm the new island Pal that can drop Onion Seeds and Tomato Seeds.
STEP 1/7
Go to the new island
Head to one of the new islands where the Onion Seed-dropping creature appears.
STEP 2/7
Equip the required wearable item
Wear the shown required item before looking for Pal #66 on the island.
STEP 3/7
Bring a usable Sphere
Carry a Legendary Sphere or a lower-tier Sphere, since a higher-tier Sphere is not required here.
STEP 4/7
Check Pal #66’s drops
Look for Pal #66, which lists Onion Seeds and Tomato Seeds as possible drops.
STEP 5/7
Search the south-side habitat
Find it on the south side of the island, near the starting area.
STEP 6/7
Catch or defeat Pal #66
Either catch it or take it down; both routes can give you the Onion Seed drop.
STEP 7/7
Keep circling the biome

Farm Pal #66 first if you are already on the new island, then use merchants as the backup when you have Gold Coins and seed stock available.

Buying Onion Seeds from merchants
Onion Seeds can also be purchased from seed-selling merchants. The named merchant sources include Wandering Merchant, Traveling Merchant, Caravan Leader, and Legendary Grocer, so check trade inventories whenever one turns up at your base or in your route.
The price can appear differently depending on whether you are looking at item value or a shop listing. Treat 70 Gold Coins as the listed item value/cost and around 100 Gold Coins as the merchant sale price players commonly see.
This route is best when you want seeds without grinding Pal drops. Buy at least 3 Onion Seeds if your goal is to build the first Onion Plantation.
Older Onion Seed farming options
| Where to look |
|---|
| Farm in Moonless Shore / Moonshore Island. |
| Farm around Verdant Brook. |
| Look around Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1, with drop details varying by method. |
| Check loot while exploring, but do not rely on it as your main seed route. |
The older route still works as a fallback: farm Pals that can drop Onion Seeds, then repeat the route until you have enough. Cinnamoth, Mossanda, and Vaelet are the main legacy Pal targets.
Vaelet has source-dependent drop and Ranch details, so use it as a repeat-farm option rather than planning around one exact rate. You can also find Onion Seeds from occasional overworld loot, but that is less controlled than farming a known Pal or checking merchants.
Using Onion Seeds for an Onion Plantation
Once you have Onion Seeds, use them to start Onion farming through the Onion Plantation. It unlocks at Technology Lv. 36.
The recipe is Onion Seeds x3, Wood x30, Stone x20, and Aquatic Pal Fluids x2. After building it, assign Pals with Planting, Watering, and Gathering work suitability so Onion production runs automatically at your base.
Onion Seed mistakes to avoid
Do not farm only the older Pal drops if you are playing Palworld 1.0. Pal #66 on the new island and seed-selling merchants give you newer routes that can be faster than repeating old Cinnamoth, Mossanda, or Vaelet farms.
Also, do not confuse item value with merchant sale price. Finally, remember that getting seeds is only half the job: you still need Technology Lv. 36 before you can build the Onion Plantation.
