 I want this to be the most complete Palworld map out there, so suggestions are very welcome.

I've been playing Palworld since launch, and for most of that time I had three maps open in different tabs. One had the effigies, another had better Pal spawns, a third told me what was in the eggs, and none of them had everything I was looking for. Half the time something was missing or out of date, and I was the one keeping track of what I'd already found.

So I built the map I actually wanted: everything in one place, with what each thing holds, and it remembers your progress for you. It's free: gamehosting.app/tools/palworld/map

What's on it:

• ~17,700 points in 81 categories, each with its own toggle. Every egg type is separate, and so is every effigy type (all 155 Lifmunk, World Tree included). Plus chests, ore, fishing spots, merchants, bosses, dungeons, journals and skill fruit trees. Palpagos and the World Tree are separate maps.
• Click anything to see what it holds. Eggs show which Pals can hatch and how likely each one is. Chests and junk piles show their drops, fishing spots what bites and the odds, merchants their stock, journals their full text.
• 274 Pals with their actual icons on the map, not dots. Pick one and you see every spot where it spawns, day or night, with its level. Alphas get a ring.
• An area level heatmap. Every zone is colored by Pal level with the range written on it, so you know where you can survive yet.
• Progress tracking with no limits. Mark effigies, chests, journals, anything as found, and each category shows your count (24/140). Fast travel points light up blue once found, like in-game, and you can keep them on the map while hiding everything else you've collected.
• Track your Pals. Tick each Pal when you catch it, and again when you have all 5 captures for the Paldeck bonus. Filter by missing, caught or under 5/5.

No account, nothing to install. Everything you mark is saved in your browser, so you can just open it and start using it. If you switch devices, export your progress to a file and import it on the other one.

The other thing that always bugged me was updating my progress by hand. I also run a small Palworld server host, so I put the same map in our server panel, and there it updates itself. It reads your world and shows your friends and bases live, and the Pals your group has caught get ticked off on their own. You don't touch anything.

I play this every week, so if something's missing or wrong, tell me in the comments and I'll fix it. I'd love to make this the go-to Palworld map, so ideas are very welcome.

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions, a few are already live:

• Load your save: hit "Load save" at the bottom of the sidebar and it ticks your fast travel points, effigies, journals, bosses and caught Pals. It's read in your browser, nothing gets uploaded.
• Custom markers: add your own pins with a name and note (thanks u/Vast-Natural3060).
• Pal potential (IVs) in the breeding path (thanks u/RyukoMatoi_).

A few people DMed me asking how to get the version that updates itself, so: you can try a server free for 24 hours, no card.

So this comes up often in comments here and in /r/palworld. This infographic (I generated with AI) does a fairly good job at explaining the gist of it though.

The math works out such that your Capture Power from all sources should be near the target Pals level in order to have weakening it via reducing its HP to matter the most.

Even if you are able to weaken a level 55 anubis to near 1 hp, if you try to capture him with a basic sphere your capture power will be so low that the decreased HP has less of an impact on the formula. Likewise if you throw a hypersphere at a level 2 lamball HP also doesnt matter here and has little impact on the catch rate - Although it wouldn't matter as your catch rate would be near 100%.

But there you have it. The point is weakening a pal only makes a difference when the target pals level is maybe +/- 5 levels of your capture pal.

I kept trying to find a good map for Palworld, they all had a lot of ads all over the place and didn’t show what I was looking for. So I just made one myself instead

I’ve been working on PalWaypoint for the past week or so, a free site that brings exploring, collecting, and planning into one place.

https://palwaypoint.github.io/

Here’s what’s available so far:

* Interactive maps for the Palpagos Islands and World Tree. Find chests, bosses, dungeons, effigies, resources, fishing spots, and more.

* Pal spawn heatmaps and pins with day/night filters. Check encounter groups, level ranges, and estimated spawn chances. Field spawns and boss/dungeon locations are shown separately.

* Collection and Paldeck tracking. Mark locations as collected and track which Pals you’ve caught or completed the capture bonus for.

* A 3D base blueprint builder using actual game models and thumbnails. Place building pieces, crafting stations, storage, and decorations. Switch views, rotate around your build, snap supported pieces together, and get a materials list for the design.

* Team and loadout planners. Compare Pal stats and passives, plan your team, and explore different equipment setups.

* Guides and searchable game data. Browse breeding, crafting, technology, ranch production, merchant inventories, and chest loot tables, with map links where available.

* Optional PC save import. Import supported character progress. Local world players with the matching world files can also import additional data, including inventory and owned Pal stats. A server character file alone has more limited information.

There are no ads, required accounts, or paid feature limits. Progress and blueprints save in your browser, and you can back them up to move between devices. Save file processing also happens on your device.

The base builder is still evolving. It’s a planning tool, so it doesn’t simulate every ingame placement restriction or Pal pathfinding rule.

I’ve been improving the mobile layout and touch controls too. If you try it, I’d love feedback: anything missing, something that looks wrong, or a feature that would make it more useful for your world.

Every time the base cap increases, I like to repurpose the old main base for passive production and make a new main base in a new location.

I'm having trouble finding a base loc for floating islands that looks good and is raidable at the same time. I've tried a few places around -550; 1510 - great looking place, but I never get raids or visitors here. My palbox is on the second floor, but placing it on the ground changes nothing. Also tried to build a base in the pond near Jetragon, but no raids there either, despite the base being connected with the landmass

Pls help, I'm tired of building wooden platforms instead of a proper base
