Palworld Pure Quartz Locations: Best Farming Spots and How to Get More

Catching Pals is the easy part of Palworld, Pocketpair's open-world survival game. Keeping a growing base supplied is harder, and Palworld Pure Quartz causes the most headaches. Every Circuit Board needs it, yet it hides mostly in freezing areas. This guide maps the best Pure Quartz locations with coordinates, plus faster farming tips and full automation.

What is Pure Quartz in Palworld and How Does It Help?

Pure Quartz looks like dark rock with pale, glassy crystals poking out of it. You won't need any early on. Demand kicks in once Circuit Boards unlock at Technology Level 35, and it never really stops after that.

Recipe	Pure Quartz Per Craft	Notes
Circuit Board	4	Also needs 2 Polymer
Soralite Ingot	2	Also needs 2 Soralite. Made at the Ancient Furnace from Technology Level 66
Pure Quartz Quarry	100	One-time build cost
Accessories such as Cryolinx Ring and Ring of Dragon Resistance	15 to 20	One-off crafts

Best Palworld Pure Quartz Locations

Most Pure Quartz sits in the Astral Mountains, the snowy northwest corner of the map. A few milder spots sit further south for players whose cold gear isn't ready. Each coordinate points to a cluster, so expect to look around a little.

Location	Coordinates	What You'll Find	Best For
Mount Flopie Summit (north of fast travel)	28, -50	Pure Quartz mixed with Ore	First Quartz, around level 30
Mossanda Forest (southwest of fast travel)	211, -133	Several Pure Quartz nodes	Early farming with no snow
Mossanda Forest (east of fast travel)	286, -102	Pure Quartz, Ore and Sulfur	Mid-game resource base
Verdant Stream (north of fast travel)	150, 151	Pure Quartz and Coal	Quick runs from fast travel
Frostbound Mountains Summit (north of fast travel)	201, 96	Small Pure Quartz cluster	Mid-game runs with cold gear
Garden Beneath the Cliffs plateau	-199, 249	9 Pure Quartz, 1 Ore	Best overall mining base
Unthawable Lake (east of fast travel)	-131, 294	7 Pure Quartz on cliff ledges	Flying mount runs
Land of Absolute Zero (southwest)	-254, 394	8 Pure Quartz, 2 Ore	Mixed Quartz and Ore base
Land of Absolute Zero (northwest)	-308, 544	7 Pure Quartz, 3 more nearby	Bulk manual runs
PAL Genetic Research Unit Tower	-134, 575	8 to 9 Pure Quartz	Easy-to-defend base
Garden Beneath the Astral Mountains	-420, 461	6 Pure Quartz	Quiet base with few enemies

Early Spots Before the Deep Freeze

Mount Flopie Summit is the earliest realistic stop, with Quartz mixed into Ore at around level 30. Mossanda Forest's southwest cluster needs no cold gear at all. Its east side adds Sulfur and Ore, which makes a strong all-round mid-game base.

Astral Mountains Spots for Big Hauls

For volume, nothing beats the plateau north of the Garden Beneath the Cliffs fast travel point. It sits west of Unthawable Lake and packs nine Quartz nodes into one tight area. The edges drop off steeply, so wall them before your Pals wander off.

Land of Absolute Zero comes close, but wild Pals roam through, so barricade any base there. The PAL tower area has one main approach, which makes raids easier to hold off.

How to Farm Pure Quartz Faster?

The nodes break easily. The real problems are the cold, the cliffs, and the weight in your bag.

• Wear gear with at least Cold Resistance Level 2 for daytime runs. Nights in the Astral Mountains call for Level 3.
• Bring a Metal Pickaxe or better, plus a spare. Weak tools crawl through Quartz and wear out fast.
• Take a flying mount. Several clusters sit on cliff ledges, and a grappling gun works as a backup.
• Empty your inventory first, since Quartz gets heavy in bulk. Reptyro and Reptyro Cryst help, as their Partner Skills cut ore weight.
• Clear nearby enemies before you mine or place a Palbox.
• Check dungeons inside the Astral Mountains. They often hold Quartz nodes too.

Mined nodes come back after enough in-game time passes. Fast travel elsewhere, finish a few chores, then return for another sweep. A base beside the cluster lets your Pals grab every respawn for you.

Pal drops are a slower backup. Pierdon Cryst is the most reliable Pal source. It drops four to five Pure Quartz each time you defeat or capture one.

How to Set Up a Pure Quartz Mining Base?

A base turns Pure Quartz from a chore into a background task. Place your Palbox so its work area covers as many nodes as possible, then add the basics.

• Storage chests right beside the nodes, so haulers walk less
• A Feed Box and two Berry Plantations near the middle
• Pal beds and a Hot Spring near the edges
• Walls along cliff edges, plus barricades if wild Pals spawn nearby

Pals need Mining Level 3 or higher to work Pure Quartz nodes. Aim for four to six miners, two or three haulers, and one or two farmers.

Job	Good Pals	Why They Fit
Mining (early)	Digtoise, Tombat, Anubis	Easy to get. Anubis also hauls
Mining (late)	Astegon, Blazamut, Reptyro	Strong miners. Astegon works at night
Transporting	Wumpo, Ragnahawk, Helzephyr	Helzephyr keeps hauling at night
Farming	Verdash, Kelpsea, Gobfin	Verdash plants and gathers. The other two water crops

Automate Production With the Pure Quartz Quarry

Natural nodes run dry between respawns. The Pure Quartz Quarry doesn't. This structure lets Mining Pals produce Quartz anywhere inside your base. Older patches called it the Pure Quartz Mine.

Structure	Unlock	Build Cost	Worker Needed
Pure Quartz Quarry	Technology Level 52, 5 Ancient Technology Points	70 Stone, 30 Paldium Fragment, 10 Ancient Civilization Parts, 100 Pure Quartz	A Mining Pal
Ancient Material Synthesizer	Technology Level 78	10 Ancient Civilization Core, 50 Paloxite Ingot	A Pal with Mining Level 6
