Palworld 1.0 pushed the Technology tree to Level 80 and filled the top twenty levels with an entirely new ancient technology tier: a dedicated workbench, its own metals, its own furnace and power generator, and the weapons and armor that only exist inside that chain. Technology points are the real bottleneck of the endgame, and spending them in the wrong order costs hours. This guide lists every 1.0 unlock with its exact Technology Level and gives you a build order that never leaves you holding a recipe you cannot craft.

 

The Setup Tier: Technology Level 22 – 60

 

These unlock long before the ancient tier but feed directly into it. Get them out of the way while points are cheap.

 

Unlock	Tech Level	What it is
Homeward Thundercloud	22	Consumable fast-travel home, weight 1, stacks to 9,999
Cryogenic Coolant	31	Refined material for cooled machinery and gear
Carbon Fiber	35	Lightweight component used across 1.0 weapons
Corrosive Solvent	37	Processing material, used in the Grenade Launcher
Giga Glider	40	Best glider in the game — Speed 80, Stamina Drain 12
Alpha Wave Generator	41	Base structure that slows how fast working Pals lose SAN
Production Assembly Line II	42	High-tier station for mass-producing gear, ammo and consumables
Bio Battery	44	Power component for late-game weapons and machines
Thermal Core	59	Heat component used across ancient crafting
Advanced Shield	60	1,800 shield HP, self-repairing

 

    Two of these are disproportionately valuable for their cost. The Giga Glider at Tech 40 is the best glider in the game and you will use it constantly on a map with Sky Islands and a World Tree. The Advanced Shield at Tech 60 gives you 1,800 self-repairing shield HP — effectively a second health bar — a full eleven levels before the Ancient Shield exists.

 

The Ancient Tier Opens: Technology Level 63 – 70

 

 

Unlock	Tech Level	What it is
Advanced Weapon Assembly Line	63	High-speed weapon and ammunition production
Ancient Furnace	66	High-tier smelter that turns raw ore into refined ingots
Soralite Ingot	66	The backbone metal of the ancient tier
Ancient Workbench	67	The station most endgame gear is built at
AI Core	67	Ancient component used across weapons, armor and structures
Mechanical Bow	67	Bow with 20,000 listed Attack, runs on cheap Arrows
Sol Sphere	67	High-grade capture sphere
Ancient Helm	68	500 – 650 Defense, Neutral and Dragon resistance
Combat SMG	68	907 Attack at Common, scaling to ~1,587
Enhanced Lily's Spear	68	1,200 Attack melee spear, no ancient cores required
Prototype Shotgun	69	1,167 – 1,400 Attack, 12–20 round magazine
Ancient Kitchen	70	Endgame cooking station producing 50+ dishes
Heavy Assault Rifle	70	1,615 Attack, the best affordable rifle

 

    Technology Level 67 is the most important level in the game. The Ancient Workbench unlocks there, and it is the station required to build most of what comes after. Unlocking an ancient recipe before the workbench means holding a recipe you physically cannot craft.

 

The Endgame Bracket: Technology Level 71 – 80

 

 

Unlock	Tech Level	What it is
Ancient Shield	71	2,200 shield HP, Durability 22,000, self-repairing
Tactical Grenade Launcher	72	6,722 Attack area damage
Laser Sword	73	2,000 Attack melee, no ammunition
Paloxite Ingot	74	Top-tier metal for the final weapon tier
Ancient Sphere	74	The best capture sphere in the game
Ancient Relic Recycler	74	Refines Ancient Relics into new resources
Ancient Power Generator	75	Massive electrical output for ancient machinery
Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor	75	840 – 1,092 Defense, Heat Resistance Lv. 3
Beam Scatter	75	Energy shotgun, 30-round magazine
Ancient Hot Spring	76	Highest SAN recovery of any hot spring
Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor	77	840 – 1,092 Defense, Cold Resistance Lv. 3
Drone Launcher	77	200 – 240 Attack, melee-class
Ancient Material Synthesizer	78	Continuously produces wood and ore automatically
Plasma Rifle	78	1,860 – 2,232 Attack, chains between enemies
Lightweight Ancient Armor	79	840 – 1,092 Defense plus Carrying Capacity Lv. 4
Beam Launcher	80	14,000 – 16,800 Attack, the strongest weapon in 1.0
Wing Cell	80	Fuel consumed by the Wing Pack while flying

 

The Build Order That Actually Works

 

 

    Phase 1 — before you touch the ancient tier (Tech 35–60). Take Carbon Fiber (35), Bio Battery (44) and Thermal Core (59) as you pass them; every ancient recipe wants them. Grab the Giga Glider (40) and Advanced Shield (60) for immediate quality of life.

 

Phase 2 — open the tier (Tech 66–67).

 

1. Soralite Ingot (66) — nothing in the ancient tier crafts without it.
2. Ancient Furnace (66) — so you can actually smelt Soralite at volume.
3. Ancient Workbench (67) — the gate on almost every recipe that follows.
4. AI Core (67) — the component nearly every ancient weapon and armor needs.

 

Phase 3 — first real payoff (Tech 67–71).

 

5. Mechanical Bow (67) — your first ancient weapon, and it runs on cheap Arrows rather than manufactured ammo.
6. Ancient Helm (68) and Heavy Assault Rifle (70) — affordable defensive and offensive baselines.
7. Ancient Shield (71) — 2,200 self-repairing shield HP.

 

Phase 4 — infrastructure before luxuries (Tech 74–78).

 

8. Paloxite Ingot (74) and Ancient Relic Recycler (74) — the top-tier metal, and a way to convert your relic pile into usable resources.
9. Ancient Power Generator (75) — several endgame stations require electricity to run at all.
10. Ancient Material Synthesizer (78) — continuous automatic wood and ore, which pays for itself in days.

 

Phase 5 — the top (Tech 79–80). Lightweight Ancient Armor (79), then the Beam Launcher (80).

 

    The most common mistake is buying weapon recipes in phase 3 before the power and material infrastructure in phase 4. The Ancient Kitchen and Ancient Power Generator are both worth taking early for exactly this reason — the Kitchen needs electricity to run, and several other stations do too.

 

Practical tips

• Unlock the Ancient Workbench (67) before any recipe it builds. It is the single highest-value point in the tree.
• The ancient tier needs AI Core and Ancient Civilization Core, which come from ancient content rather than ordinary mining. Get a farming route going before you spend points at Tech 78+.
• Structures like the Ancient Kitchen need electricity plus specific Work Suitability levels to operate. Have a Lv7–8 worker and a generator ready before you build them.
• Cheap early unlocks such as Carbon Fiber (35) and Bio Battery (44) appear as requirements in a dozen later recipes. Take them on the way past rather than backtracking.
• The Ancient Material Synthesizer (78) produces wood and ore continuously. On a persistent server it quietly out-earns any manual farming route.

 

Running your own Palworld 1.0 server

 

    The ancient tier is a production problem more than a combat one — Soralite and Paloxite Ingots, AI Cores and Ancient Civilization Cores in quantities you cannot gather in one sitting. A dedicated Palworld 1.0 server keeps the Ancient Furnace, Power Generator and Material Synthesizer running while you are offline, so the stockpile grows overnight. Full crossplay lets your group split the tech tree between them, and one-click backups and automatic updates protect an infrastructure investment that takes real time to rebuild.

 

Conclusion

 

    Palworld 1.0's ancient technology tier runs from Technology Level 63 to 80, and the order you unlock it in matters more than the total number of points you have. Take Soralite Ingot (66), the Ancient Furnace (66), the Ancient Workbench (67) and AI Core (67) first — everything else in the tier depends on them. Then take the Mechanical Bow (67) for an early power spike, build the Ancient Power Generator (75) and Ancient Material Synthesizer (78) before the luxury weapons, and finish with Lightweight Ancient Armor (79) and the Beam Launcher (80).
