List of All Arrows and How to Craft Them
Updated 2026-07-22
Bows stay useful for the entire game in Palworld — but only if you keep the right ammo stocked. There are six arrow types, from the starter Wood-and-Stone arrow to the endgame Mechanical Bow Ammo, and every recipe conveniently produces a batch of 10 per craft. Here's every arrow, exactly what it costs, and which bow it feeds.
Every Arrow at a Glance
| Arrow | Unlock | Recipe (makes 10) | Used With |
|---|---|---|---|
Arrow | Tech Lv 3 | 2× Wood, 2× Stone | Bows and crossbows |
Fire Arrow | Tech Lv 6 | 2× Wood, 2× Stone, 1× Flame Organ | Bows; required by the Fire Arrow Crossbow |
Poison Arrow | Tech Lv 8 | 2× Wood, 2× Stone, 1× Venom Gland | Bows; required by the Poison Arrow Crossbow |
Reinforced Arrow | Tech Lv 42 | 2× Refined Ingot, 2× Carbon Fiber | Compound Bow |
Advanced Arrow | Tech Lv 57 | 2× Plasteel, 5× Carbon Fiber | Advanced Bow |
Mechanical Bow Ammo | Tech Lv 67 | 2× Soralite Ingot | Mechanical Bow |
Early Arrows: Arrow, Fire and Poison
The basic Arrow unlocks at level 3 and costs nothing but Wood and Stone, so stock hundreds early — all three early arrows come out of the Primitive Workbench. Fire Arrows add one Flame Organ per batch and deal Fire damage on contact, while Poison Arrows use a Venom Gland and poison the target on hit. Both organs come from hunting the right element of Pal — check the full Pal organ farming guide for the best sources.
Late Arrows: Reinforced, Advanced and Mechanical
At Tech Lv 42 the Reinforced Arrow swaps Wood and Stone for 2× Refined Ingot and 2× Carbon Fiber per batch, feeding the Compound Bow (1,100 Attack). The Advanced Arrow at Lv 57 runs on 2× Plasteel and 5× Carbon Fiber for the Advanced Bow — a 5,800-Attack monster. And the one most players miss: Mechanical Bow Ammo at Lv 67, crafted at the Ancient Workbench from just 2× Soralite Ingot, for the 20,000-Attack Mechanical Bow.

Attack values are the base-version numbers, so rarer schematic versions of a bow hit harder. For where the Nightstar Sand in the Advanced Bow comes from, see the Nightstar Sand farming guide — and if you'd rather skip bows entirely, the gun rankings cover everything with a trigger.
