Looking to get your hands on Chromite in Palworld? This new resource might be giving you a hard time – it’s not exactly sitting out in the open like regular ores. But getting a steady supply of Chromite isn’t too complicated once you know what you’re doing. Let’s walk through the process step by step.

How to Find Chromite in Palworld?

First things first – you’ll need to hit level 56 before you can even think about gathering Chromite. Once you’re there, there are a couple of ways to track it down.

The most straightforward approach is crafting a Metal Detector. Here’s what goes into making one:

  • A handful of Paldium Fragments (100)
  • Some Plasteel (30)
  • Circuit Boards (30)
  • Nightstar Sand (20)
  • Three Technology Points

The second option is using one of the latest pals in Palworld named Smokie Pal, which can detect Chromite with its “Dig, Dog! Dig!” Partner Skill. To use Smokie, you’ll need to:

  • Finding and catching Smokie on Feybreak Island
  • Reaching level 56
  • Craft Smokie’s Harness using 50 Fiber, 40 Paldium Fragment, 20 Leather, and 10 Dark Fragment

Best Chromite Locations in Palworld

Head over to Feybreak Island and make your way to the coordinates (-1200, -1100). There’s a cave system there that’s packed with Chromite. The fastest way to reach it is using the Desert Ash Plateau fast travel point – just head west from there. We have marked the location of cave for you on the map below.

The Metal Detector makes scouting for Chromite easier – when you’re getting close, it starts beeping faster, and keep an eye out for small ore deposits with little flags sticking out. Having Smokie tag along can really boost your mining output too.

So what’s all this Chromite actually for? The main thing you’ll be using it for is making Hexolite. Each piece needs:

  • 5 pieces of Chromite
  • 12 Hexolite Quartz
  • 20 regular Ore

Here’s the thing about Hexolite – it’s used in a lot of high-end gear and building stuff. You’ll want to keep a decent stock of Chromite on hand for when you need it.

When you’re first getting into Chromite farming, don’t worry too much about rushing it. Focus on hitting that level 56 mark first. Once you’re there, the cave spot becomes your go-to location.

Pop by whenever you’re in the area, and you’ll build up a nice stockpile before you know it. The nodes keep coming back, so you can make it part of your regular farming routine.
