The Ancient Relic Recycler in Palworld: Five Tables of 362 Entries, and Two Guaranteed Drops
The Ancient Relic Recycler runs the largest loot tables in Palworld — five of them, four at 362 entries and one at 367. In a table that size any individual item should be vanishingly rare, and most are. But the Recycler opens every roll with two guaranteed drops: Mythical Wood and Paloxite, both at 100%, in quantities that scale with the relic tier you fed it.
The Five Tiers
| Table | Entries | Mythical Wood | Paloxite |
|---|---|---|---|
| WorldTreeRelic_01 | 362 | 1 – 3 at 100% | 1 – 3 at 100% |
| WorldTreeRelic_02 | 362 | — | — |
| WorldTreeRelic_03 | 362 | — | — |
| WorldTreeRelic_04 | 362 | — | — |
| WorldTreeRelic_05 | 367 | 9 – 11 at 100% | 9 – 11 at 100% |
The two ends of the ladder tell the whole story. Feeding the lowest relic tier returns 1–3 of each material; feeding the highest returns 9–11 of each. That is roughly a five-fold increase in guaranteed output for climbing the relic ladder, from a system where nothing else is guaranteed at all.
The top table also has five more entries than the others — 367 against 362 — so its exclusive contents are whatever those five are.
Why Guaranteed Matters in a 362-Entry Table
Table size is the dominant variable in Palworld's loot maths: the more entries a table has, the thinner each individual chance becomes. A 362-entry table is by far the largest in the game — the next biggest anywhere in the loot database is around 133.
In a pool that size, an ordinary drop rate lands somewhere in fractions of a percent, which is exactly what the gems do. Against that, a 100% entry is worth more than everything else on the table combined, because it is the only outcome you can plan around.
So the honest way to read the Recycler is: it is a Mythical Wood and Paloxite converter that occasionally also gives you a gem. Both materials are World Tree resources, which makes the Recycler a way to turn relics you already have into building and crafting stock without going back out.
The Gem Ladder Halves, Twice Over
All nine Radiant Gems appear in the Recycler tables, and each one appears more than once at descending rates.
On WorldTreeRelic_01, every gem shows at:
| Roll | Rate |
|---|---|
| First | 1.111% |
| Second | 0.556% |
| Third | 0.278% |
Each is exactly half the one above it. Nine gems across three rolls is 27 gem entries in the table, which accounts for a meaningful slice of the 362.
On WorldTreeRelic_05, the same structure runs at roughly double the rates:
| Roll | Rate |
|---|---|
| First | 2.304% |
| Second | 1.152% |
Feeding better relics roughly doubles your per-gem chance as well as multiplying the guaranteed materials. Both halves of the payout scale together, which is unusual — most Palworld ladders improve one thing and leave the other flat.
There is no elemental preference at any tier: all nine gems sit at identical rates within a roll, so you cannot farm here for a specific element more efficiently than for any other.
Where This Fits Against the Alternatives
Compare the Recycler against the two other World Tree sources:
| Source | Radiant Gem rate | Guaranteed |
|---|---|---|
| WorldTree_Treasure chest | 4.513% per gem | Gold Coin 7,000–7,500 |
| WorldTree_Drop_1 | — | — |
| Recycler tier 01 | 1.111% + 0.556% + 0.278% | Mythical Wood 1–3, Paloxite 1–3 |
| Recycler tier 05 | 2.304% + 1.152% + … | Mythical Wood 9–11, Paloxite 9–11 |
A World Tree treasure chest beats the Recycler on gems — 4.513% per gem against a combined ~1.95% at tier 01 and ~3.5% at tier 05. If gems are the goal, open chests.
The Recycler wins on everything else, because it costs you nothing you were using. Ancient Relics accumulate from Pal drops whether you want them or not, and the Recycler is the only system that converts that pile into guaranteed materials. It is a passive route rather than a farm — feed relics as they arrive and treat the gems as a bonus.
It is also, per the game's own guidance, one of the four routes to legendary schematics — the one that runs on input you already have. (For unlocking and building the facility itself, see Palworld 1.0 Ancient Relic Recycler: How to Unlock & Use; this page is about what comes out of it.)
Running your own Palworld 1.0 server
A Recycler fed from a relic pile that accumulates across sessions only makes sense on a world that keeps its chests between logins. A gamever Palworld server keeps it persistent with full crossplay, automatic updates and one-click backups.
Conclusion
The Ancient Relic Recycler runs five loot tables — four at 362 entries and one at 367 — the largest in Palworld by a wide margin, and its value is entirely in the two entries that never miss. Mythical Wood and Paloxite both drop at 100%, scaling from 1–3 each on the lowest relic tier to 9–11 each on the highest, a roughly five-fold improvement for climbing the ladder. In a 362-entry pool everything else is thin by construction: all nine Radiant Gems appear at 1.111%, then 0.556%, then 0.278% on tier 01 — each roll exactly half the one above — and at roughly double those rates on tier 05, so both halves of the payout scale together. There is no elemental preference at any tier. Against the alternatives, a World Tree treasure chest beats it on gems at 4.513% each, so open chests if gems are the goal — but the Recycler consumes relics that accumulate whether you want them or not, which makes it the correct passive route and one of the four ways to roll for legendary schematics.
