The Ancient Workbench is an end-game crafting station in Palworld 1.0, and it exists to do one thing exceptionally well: craft any item in your recipe book from a single bench. Tied to the game's late-tier Sunreach and World Tree progression, it turns your base into a fully automated production hub where your Pals handle the work. If you have been juggling separate stations for weapons, ammo, spheres, and consumables, this is the upgrade that consolidates everything.

 

What Is Ancient Workbench?

 

    The Ancient Workbench is a Pal-exclusive crafting station. Unlike a standard workbench, the player cannot use it directly, but it can produce virtually any craftable item in one place. It runs at the same crafting speed as a regular workbench, so its appeal is not raw speed but consolidation and full-catalog access. This makes it a natural centerpiece for a mature, Pal-run base late in the 1.0 campaign.

 

How to Get Ancient Workbench

 

 

    The Ancient Workbench is unlocked at Technology Level 67 and then built (crafted) by the player. Once the technology is unlocked, you place it from the build menu using the following materials:

 

Material	Quantity
Soralite Ingot	50
AI Core	5
Bio Battery	20

 

    Because it sits at Technology Level 67, this is a deep late-game build. Stockpile Soralite Ingot in advance, since 50 of them is the heaviest part of the cost, and keep a steady supply of AI Cores and Bio Batteries running from your other production lines before you commit to construction.

 

    It is worth planning around its operating demands as well. The Ancient Workbench has an energy consumption of 2,000/s (Electric), a workload requirement of 1,000,000 Handiwork, and a SAN reduction of -0.11 on the Pals assigned to it. In practice, that means it needs Pals with high-level Handiwork or Medicine Production suitability to operate, plus a reliable power source feeding the base.

 

What Ancient Workbench Is Used For

 

 

The whole point of the Ancient Workbench is breadth. From this single station your Pals can craft:

 

• Weapons — swords, bows, and spears
• Ammunition
• Pal Spheres — from basic all the way up to Ultimate
• Armor and accessories
• Consumables and fishing bait

 

    Instead of routing a raid loadout across several dedicated benches, you can queue weapons, ammo, spheres, and gear from one place and let your assigned Pals churn through the list. For a capture-focused player, the ability to mass-produce spheres up to Ultimate grade in the same spot as your combat gear is especially convenient.

 

Practical tips

• Assign multiple Pals with strong Handiwork (or Medicine Production) suitability so the bench never sits idle on its 1,000,000-Handiwork workloads.
• Confirm your base can spare 2,000/s of Electric power before building; a fully committed Ancient Workbench will strain an underpowered grid.
• Pre-stock 50 Soralite Ingot along with your AI Cores and Bio Batteries so construction does not stall at the placement step.

 

 

Running your own Palworld 1.0 server

 

    Late-game builds like the Ancient Workbench shine most on a persistent world where your production lines keep running whether or not you are logged in. A dedicated Palworld 1.0 server at gamever.io stays online 24/7, supports crossplay so your whole squad can join from different platforms, and includes one-click backups and updates so your progress is protected and your world is always on the current version. That means your Pals can keep grinding out spheres, ammo, and gear around the clock while you focus on exploring Sunreach and the World Tree.

 

Conclusion

 

    The Ancient Workbench is a signature late-game convenience: a Pal-run station that puts your entire crafting catalog under one roof. It is expensive to unlock at Technology Level 67 and demanding to power, but for an established base it removes the clutter of maintaining separate benches for every category of item. Line up your Soralite Ingot, AI Cores, and Bio Batteries, staff it with capable Pals, and let it become the beating heart of your production.
