How to Get Quartz

One resource you'll need a decent amount of for items like Circuit Boards is Pure Quartz. It's fairly easy to acquire as of Palworld's 1.0 overhaul, and there are certain ways you can streamline the process. This guide details everything you need to know about finding and farming Pure Quartz.

How to Get Quartz in Palworld

Pure Quartz is one of Palworld's minerals, concentrated inside nodes that can be mined for pieces of the material. As of Palworld 1.0, there are a handful of ways to get it.

Gather From Nodes

The fundamental way to gather Pure Quartz is to find it in the wilds of Palpagos and mine it with a sufficient Pickaxe. A Refined Metal Pickaxe or better is recommended — eventually you'll need to repair your tools after so much use.

Build a Pure Quartz Quarry

The best way to passively build your stores is constructing a Pure Quartz Quarry at your base, where it can be mined indefinitely while you explore. It's unlocked at Level 52 in the Ancient Technology column (beneath the High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor).

To build it, you'll need:

• 70 x Stone
• 100 x Pure Quartz
• 30 x Paldium Fragment
• 10 x Ancient Civilization Parts

Assign a Pal with a good Mining work suitability. Digtoise is a great starter option, but later invest in Reptyro, Anubis, Dualith, or Blazamut.

Best Quartz Farming Locations

Pure Quartz is traditionally found in cooler, northern regions of Palpagos — not the desert or the volcanoes of Mount Obsidian. The wild locations are concentrated in two main areas:

Astral Mountains

Most of the Pure Quartz nodes are in the snowy fields of the Astral Mountains. The most concentrated areas include:

• Southwest of the Unthawable Lake teleport statue at (-135, 270).
• Hill overlooking a PAL Genetic Researcher stronghold at (-209, 243).
• Southeast of the Astral Mountains Garden Watchtower at (-258, 390). A Wumpo patrols the area.
• Cliffs near a Hack Tower Puzzle at (-139, 579).
• Base of a cliff south of the Garden Beneath the Astral Mountains at (-413, 472). A Quivern patrols the area.

Mossanda Forest

Just southwest of the Mossanda Forest teleport statue is an open area (prime for base building) filled with mining nodes, including plenty of Pure Quartz. You'll find it at (213, -134).

How to Use Quartz

Pure Quartz is used in a handful of crafting recipes, most notably:

• Circuit Board (Technology Level 35): 2 x Pure Quartz, 1 x Polymer.
• Cryolinx Ring (schematic): 20 x Refined Ingot, 20 x Pure Quartz, 15 x Ice Organ, 5 x Ancient Civilization Parts.
• Divine Dragon's Baton (schematic): 20 x Refined Ingot, 20 x Polymer, 20 x Pure Quartz, 5 x Ancient Civilization Core.

Final Thoughts

Bring cold protection — quartz nodes tend to sit in freezing regions. Once you unlock the Pure Quartz Quarry, you can keep a passive supply flowing at your base for all your advanced electronics.
