Wings of the Wild – Where to Find Palumba in Palworld (Full Location Guide)

In the ever-evolving survival world of Palworld, catching the right Pal can mean the difference between life and death—especially when it comes to early-game survival and farming. One that Palworld players are eager to locate is Palumba, a lovable, rotund, bird-like creature that offers not only great Transporting and Farming utility, but also serves as a reliable combat companion in the early-to-mid game.

This guide will break down exactly where to find Palumba in Palworld, the best way to catch it, its work suitability, and why you’ll want one in your base ASAP.

Who Is Palumba?

Palumba is a Neutral-type Pal, shaped like a giant pigeon crossed with a potato. It has a comical, bouncy design and plays a surprisingly helpful role in both base management and exploration. While it may not breathe fire or summon lightning, Palumba is incredibly useful thanks to its high Transporting skill and Farming capability—making it ideal for crop and resource gathering.

• Element: Neutral

• Work Suitability:

  • Transporting Lv. 2

  • Farming Lv. 1

• Partner Skill: Delivery Bird – When activated, Palumba increases your max carrying weight and speeds up resource collection.

This makes it one of the most efficient utility Pals in the early game for players aiming to develop farms and manage large resource piles efficiently.

Where to Find Palumba in Palworld

Palumba can be found in multiple low to mid-level zones, making it an easily accessible early-game Pal—perfect for new players building their first full team.

Primary Spawn Area:

• Region: Eastern Plains & Bamboo Groves

• Coordinates: X: 350, Y: -240 to 450, Y: -320

• Level Range: 7–15

• Spawn Time: Daytime only

You’ll find Palumba roaming peacefully across open grassy fields and sometimes near large rock formations or bamboo clusters. It is non-aggressive, making it easy to approach, but it can be fast to flee if startled.

To reach Palumba easily, fast travel to the Bamboo Grove waypoint or the Small Settlement and head slightly north or northeast. Keep your eyes on the hills and watch for the large tan-colored bird waddling along.

How to Catch Palumba – Step-by-Step

Because Palumba is a Neutral-type, it has no direct elemental weaknesses, but is also not heavily resistant to any specific types. This makes it flexible to engage with a wide variety of starter Pals.

Recommended Setup:

• Pals to Use:

  • Lifmunk (low damage, ranged)

  • Daedream (safe status options)

  • Cattiva (support and binding skills)

• Pal Sphere Tier:

  • Works well with Standard or Mega Spheres

  • Back throws increase catch rate significantly

Capture Tips:

1. Sneak Up: Approach Palumba from behind using tall grass or terrain for cover.

2. Weaken It Slightly: Avoid high-damage attacks; Palumba has low to moderate HP.

3. Use Partner Skills That Immobilize or Sleep: Daedream’s Nightmare Ball is excellent for this.

4. Throw a Sphere from Behind: Palworld offers a capture rate bonus for sneak attacks and back throws.

Because it’s a non-hostile Pal, the risk of failure or damage is minimal—making it one of the easiest high-utility captures you can secure early on.

Palumba’s Utility in Your Base

Palumba really shines when deployed in your base. It excels at two essential roles:

Transporting Lv. 2:

Palumba is fast and efficient at carrying materials between your Storage Boxes and Workbenches. It dramatically boosts the speed of:

• Crafting queues

• Smelting operations

• Pal Sphere production

• Farm harvesting logistics

Farming Lv. 1:

Palumba also contributes to your Crop Plots and Wheat Plantations. While it’s not as specialized as Cinnamoth or Flopie in farming, having it on your farm rotation improves early food production and keeps other Pals fed.

Combat Role – Worth Using?

While not a combat powerhouse, Palumba has a few early-game neutral attacks that give it some utility in the field.

Sample Moveset:

• Pound – Basic melee neutral attack

• Wind Cutter – Ranged move with knockback

• Pal Blast – Area-neutral blast (learned at higher levels)

Best used as a support Pal or for field resource hauling, it’s not recommended for high-level raids or elemental dungeons, but can handle standard wild encounters up to Level 20 effectively.

Breeding Palumba

Palumba can also be bred for easier access if you’re farming Pal Eggs or trying to get duplicates for multiple base roles.

Breeding Combinations:

• Cattiva + Chikipi

• Tanzee + Daedream

These combinations create Neutral-type eggs, with a medium chance of producing Palumba. Just make sure to prep Cake, build a Breeding Farm, and keep your parent Pals happy and healthy.

Extra Tips

• Pal Essence Condenser: Use duplicate Palumbas to increase Work Suitability efficiency by condensing their essence—this improves their stats for base tasks.

• Partner Use: Activate Palumba’s Delivery Bird partner skill to temporarily increase your carrying weight when mining or gathering in the field.

A Must-Capture Utility Pal

Palumba is more than a goofy bird—it’s one of the most resource-efficient Pals you can catch in the early and mid-game in Palworld. With Transporting and Farming capabilities baked into its design and a friendly encounter pattern, there’s no reason not to add one (or several) to your Paldeck.

So gear up, grab your Pal Spheres, and take a stroll through the Eastern Plains—your new delivery bird is waiting.
