Yo fellow Pal-tamers! As a total Palworld addict who's clocked 500+ hours since the Tides of Terraria update dropped, I gotta say Coralum Ore is the game-changer nobody saw coming. This electric-blue treasure isn't just another rock – it's like finding a USB drive full of Bitcoin in your grandma's attic. Suddenly, everyone's scrambling to upgrade their gear, and after weeks of experimenting, I'm spilling all my secrets.
Fishing ≠ Boring Anymore
Forget those pathetic old fishing rods! The real Coralum jackpot comes from salvaging floating scrap heaps using the Powerful Fishing Magnet. It's like playing claw machine at an arcade, except the prize could literally melt bosses 😎 Pro tips from my fails:
-
Water mounts are NON-NEGOTIABLE – try Surfent or Azurobe
-
Ocean currents near new islands = scrap hotspots
-
Magnet durability sucks! Bring 3+ backups
Whalaska: Your Overlooked ATM
When I first saw this chonky whale-pal, I thought it was just scenery. BOY WAS I WRONG! Hunting Whalaska is like shaking a vending machine – sometimes you get candy (Pal Fluids), sometimes you strike gold (Coralum!). Best spawn zones I've mapped:
Location | Drop Rate | Bonus Loot |
---|---|---|
Frostbound Archipelago | 35% | Ice Organs + Large Souls |
Abyssal Trench | 28% | Rare Pal Fluids |
Coral Shallows | 42% | DOUBLE Coralum drops! |
Breeding War-Crimes 101
Wanna farm Coralum while eating pizza? Breed Whalaskas! But fair warning – this method's darker than my coffee:
-
Build Breeding Farm + Egg Incubator
-
Mass-produce Whalaska eggs (feed them pizza for faster breeding 🍕)
-
Meat Cleaver time – it's like turning living blenders into walking loot boxes
💡 Pro move: Assign mining Pals to auto-collect Coralum from your... uh... 'processing facility'.
From Ore to OWNAGE
Coralum Ingot crafting is where magic happens! Recipe per ingot:
-
🔷 Coralum Ore x5
-
⚫ Ore x30
-
🔥 Coal x20
But here's the kicker – smelting this stuff in the Gigantic Furnace feels like baking a neutron star. Takes FOREVER! Assign 3+ fire Pals to speed it up.
Endgame Weapons Breakdown
Why grind Coralum? To craft these beauts that turn raids into target practice:
-
Charge Rifle
-
Coralum Ingot x200 + Hexolite x150
-

Ammo costs? Ridiculously cheap! One Coralum Ingot = 100+ rounds. It's like printing money but deadlier 💸
Final Thoughts & Open Questions
After weeks of Coralum grinding, I realized something weird – this whole system feels like alchemy meets industrial farming. We're essentially force-breeding cosmic whales to fuel laser guns 🤯 But it makes me wonder:
-
Is Coralum actually Pal fossils? The blue glow resembles Whalaska's patterns...
-
Could future updates let us dive DEEPER for rarer variants?
-
Are we the baddies turning pals into ammunition? 😅
