Palworld Player Collects All Legendary Schematics Without Ever Butchering Any Pals

gamerant.com:

A Palworld player showed off their dedication and strict policy of not butchering any Pals with some screenshots of them obtaining all the game's legendary schematics and crafting the respective items for their character to use. After the Palworld player shared proof of their deeds, other users complimented their commitment to not using a Meat Cleaver at all.

Palworld's legendary crafting schematics can be obtained either by defeating or catching certain Pals, including the challenging Alpha Pals, or from chests. For example, the Alpha Pal called Jetragon has only a small chance to drop the Rocket Launcher Schematic 4, which is needed to craft a Rocket Launcher at Legendary quality. Butchering a Pal with a Meat Cleaver also gives players an additional chance at a schematic that a Pal can drop. This act comes at a cost, though, as a Pal will despawn after being butchered and cannot be summoned again.

One player decided to forego butchery and used some old-school tactics to achieve their goals. A Reddit user named SocksMittens shared two screenshots of their efforts to get all the legendary endgame schematics of Palworld on the r/Palworld subreddit. Along with a ridiculous amount of items, including base materials such as ore and coal to make ingots, the OP used their luck and determination to grind and get all the schematics they needed. In their first screenshot, SocksMittens said it took them over 180 hours to get all the Legendary schematics of Palworld without slaughtering any of their Pals. This included Legendary Pal Metal Armor and Legendary quality guns like the Assault Rifle and the Handgun.

To dispel any lingering doubts, the OP posted a picture of the Technologies tree, which indicated that they did not spend two points on learning the Meat Cleaver schematic at level 12. Though the Meat Cleaver is one of the first items Palworld players usually unlock, that was not the case with SocksMittens' single-player Palworld file. The OP advised Palworld players who
