Bounty Tokens in Palworld: 99 Permanent Team Buffs You Only Have to Own
There are 99 Bounty Tokens in Palworld, and the mechanic behind them is the most passive in the game: simply possessing one permanently increases the stats of the Pals in your team. You do not use it, equip it or spend it. It sits in your inventory and works.
Each token is proof of defeating one named boss, and each carries a specific stat enhancement tied to that boss's element.
How the Mechanic Works
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Category | Key Items |
| Count | 99 |
| Description | "Proof of defeating [boss name]." |
| Effect | "Simply possessing it permanently increases the stats of the Pals in your team." |
| Example | Chillet Bounty Token — Ice Damage Enhancement (Small) |
| Consumed? | No |
"Simply possessing it" is the design. There is no activation step and no slot cost — which is exactly why the system is easy to miss. A player can be carrying a dozen buffs without ever having noticed the mechanic.
The buffs are elemental and graded. The Chillet token grants Ice Damage Enhancement (Small), which implies larger grades on tougher bounties — so the tokens form a progression rather than a flat set.
They are Key Items, not consumables. That places them alongside effigies, saddles and Key Spheres in the "hold, do not spend" bucket.
Never sell one. Selling a Bounty Token removes a permanent team buff, and the game does not warn you.
The Scale of the List
Ninety-nine tokens is the second-largest Key Item group in the game, behind only saddles, and it spans the entire roster:
- Early bosses — Chillet, Gumoss, Dumud, Penking, Sweepa.
- Mid-game — Azurobe, Grintale, Nitewing, Quivern, Felbat, Kingpaca, Broncherry, Katress, Bushi, Fenglope, Petallia, Beakon, Warsect.
- Variant forms — Broncherry Aqua, Relaxaurus Lux, Mossanda Lux, Kingpaca Cryst, Dinossom Lux, Menasting Terra, Kitsun Noct, Fenglope Lux, Faleris Aqua, Frostallion Noct, Foxparks Cryst, Dazzi Noct, Cryolinx Terra, Caprity Noct, Loupmoon Cryst, Ribbuny Botan, Warsect Terra, Whalaska Ignis.
- Legendaries — Anubis, Astegon, Blazamut, Jetragon, Frostallion, Lyleen Noct, Necromus and Paladius as the Twin Knights.
- 1.0 additions — Knocklem, Splatterina, Azurmane, Celesdir, Silvegis, Smokie, Nitemary, Starryon, Prunelia, Nyafia, Gildane, Omascul, Tarantris, Neptilius, Whalaska.
The variant forms are the important detail. A Broncherry token and a Broncherry Aqua token are two separate items, which means the elemental variants each carry their own buff — and doubles the size of the collection.
The Twin Knights share one token. Necromus and Paladius are a single bounty, which is the only pairing on the list.
Why This Is the Best Passive Progression in the Game
- No opportunity cost. Unlike accessories, batons or talismans, a token occupies no slot — it just needs to exist in your inventory.
- It stacks with everything. Party buffs, partner skills, armour bonuses and drop-rate boosters all remain fully in play.
- It is permanent. Once earned and held, the buff does not expire, degrade or need re-application.
- It rewards work you were doing anyway. Alpha and boss hunting is already how you get Ancient Civilization Parts, gold and schematics; the token is a free fourth reward.
- It is elemental, so a full collection covers every damage type rather than over-investing in one.
The catch is inventory weight and discipline. Ninety-nine Key Items is a real amount of space over a long save, and the temptation to tidy is the main way people lose buffs they earned.
How to Farm Them
- One kill per boss is enough. The token is proof of defeat, not a drop rate to farm.
- Hunt the variants deliberately. Broncherry Aqua, Menasting Terra, Kitsun Noct and the rest are separate bounties with separate tokens.
- Dedicate a chest, and label it. The single biggest risk to this system is a well-meant clear-out.
- Do them alongside Alpha hunts. The routes overlap almost completely with the Alpha Pal roster.
- Check your inventory before selling anything to a merchant. Bounty Tokens sit in Key Items, which is exactly where a bulk-sell can catch them.
Running your own Palworld 1.0 server
Ninety-nine bosses is a months-long project, and every token has to survive in inventory the whole time. A gamever Palworld server keeps that save persistent with full crossplay, automatic updates and one-click backups.
Conclusion
Palworld has 99 Bounty Tokens, each "proof of defeating" one named boss, and their mechanic is the most passive in the game: simply possessing one permanently increases the stats of the Pals in your team, with no slot cost, no activation and no consumption. The buffs are elemental and graded — the Chillet Bounty Token grants Ice Damage Enhancement (Small) — so the full set covers every damage type. The list spans the whole roster and, critically, treats elemental variants as separate bounties: Broncherry and Broncherry Aqua, Menasting and Menasting Terra, Kitsun and Kitsun Noct are six tokens, not three. Only the Twin Knights — Necromus and Paladius — share one. Because they sit in Key Items and are never consumed, the only real risk is administrative: selling or obliterating one silently removes a permanent buff, so give them a chest of their own and never bulk-sell out of Key Items.
