Palworld v1.0.3 Makes Jetragon Easier to Unlock and Fixes Dozens of Bugs

Palworld v1.0.3 is now available with a mix of balance changes, resource adjustments, visual improvements, and fixes for multiplayer, progression, building, combat, and more. The update lowers several requirements tied to Jetragon, while also making the Aquatic Construction Kit available much earlier.

Jetragon-related technologies now unlock at Level 70 instead of Level 79, and the Pal Gear needed to ride Jetragon requires fewer materials. The Aquatic Construction Kit moves from Level 66 to Level 23, with its Ancient Technology Point cost reduced from four to one. World Tree Holy Water also lasts longer, weighs less, and appears in more expedition and fishing rewards.

The update follows the World Tree loading fix with a much broader set of changes. Base construction receives cheaper extractor and generator costs, crude oil production speeds increase, and Fiber gathered from trees is doubled. The official Steam patch notice also confirms a new server setting for enemy camp spawns near player bases.
