Best Ancient Technology Points Farm in Palworld 1.0

Ancient Technology Points unlock the best gear in the game: extra weapon holsters, the large egg incubator, and the ancient crafting recipes. Most players hit a wall because they think these points run out after the bosses are done. They do not. This guide covers both the fast burst from first-time boss kills and the repeatable farm that keeps points flowing.

Quick Answer

You earn Ancient Technology Points two ways. First-time boss kills give a burst: Tower bosses give 5 points each and Alpha field bosses give 1 point each (first defeat only). After that, you farm them repeatably with Ancient Technical Manuals, which each grant 1 point and drop from dungeon and Wildlife Sanctuary treasure chests. So clear bosses first for the quick points, then run chests to keep farming.

Where Ancient Technology Points Come From

Source	Points	Repeatable?
Tower bosses	5 each	No (first clear only)
Alpha field bosses	1 each	No (first defeat only)
Feybreak bounties	1 each	No (first completion)
Ancient Technical Manual	1 each	Yes (farmable)

Step 1: Grab the First-Time Boss Points

This is the fastest early chunk, so do it as you progress:

• Tower bosses are the big prize at 5 points each. Clearing all of them is a large lump sum of Ancient Technology Points. See our Hard Mode Tower Bosses guide for the roster.
• Alpha field bosses give 1 point each on first defeat or capture. You pass dozens of these as you explore, so mop them up.
• Feybreak bounties add 1 point each on first completion.

Remember: refighting any of these gives loot and EXP but no more points. The boss points are a one-time haul.

Step 2: Farm Ancient Technical Manuals (The Repeatable Part)

Once the boss points are spent, this is how you keep going. Ancient Technical Manuals each grant 1 Ancient Technology Point when used, and they drop from treasure chests:

• Dungeon end-chests. Run high-level dungeons and loot the chests. This is the steadiest source.
• Wildlife Sanctuary chests. The three sanctuary islands are packed with chests. Sweep them, grab the manuals, and leave (watch your Wanted level on the sanctuaries).

Some players also report manuals from fishing spots, but dungeon and sanctuary chests are the reliable, confirmed sources.

Tip: build a chest-running loop. Pick a high-level dungeon you can clear fast, run it, fast-travel out and back to reset, and bank the manuals. Use each manual only when you need the points, since they stack in your inventory.

What to Spend Ancient Technology Points On

Prioritize the unlocks that change your game the most:

• Extra Weapon Holsters (slots 5 and 6). See our weapon slots guide.
• Large-Scale Egg Incubator for faster breeding.
• Ancient crafting benches and gear you need for endgame recipes.

Tip: do not spend points the moment you get them. Look at the whole Ancient Technology tab first and unlock the holsters and incubator early, since they pay off for the rest of your playthrough.

A Quick Clarification: Effigies Are Not Points

A common mix-up: Lifmunk Effigies do not give Technology Points of any kind. They boost your Capture Power (catch rate) at the Statue of Power. If you are hunting points, focus on bosses and Ancient Technical Manuals, not effigies. See our Lifmunk Effigy guide for what those actually do.

What to Do Next

• Spend your points on the weapon slots guide.
• Get the boss points fast with the Hard Mode Tower Bosses guide.
• Level up to clear bosses quicker with the Fast Leveling Guide.
