Unlucky Palworld Player Misses Out on Ridiculous Amount of Coins

A Palworld player accidentally missed out on a huge amount of Coins within the game due to a change in the selling price of nails. The massively popular new monster-catching game from developer Pocket Pair offers players a variety of things to do within its sandbox open-world environment. Players can capture Pals to battle or use in their base, build sprawling bases to generate more resources and craft items, and challenge the many bosses found throughout the game's world.

The player shows off a chest in their in-game base containing several stacks of 9,999 nails, intending to sell them to the game's merchants. Among the changes made within Patch 0.1.5.0, one of the «Balance Adjustment» changes featured was fixing the «abnormally high selling price» of Palworld's nails. The total number displayed within the nail item slots within the chest shows that tosimmon12 had amassed more than 19 million nails.

While the user lamented the significant loss of money, many fans pointed out the still massive amount of Palworld Coins the player stands to make from their nails. One player pointed out that the staggering number of nails would now sell for 6,799,320 Coins, though it does show a marked difference from their previous
