How to Get the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Vertical Banner

The Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Vertical Banner is the tall hanging cloth that lets you fly the fire cult's colours over your own camp, and it is a Level 28 Technology node rather than anything you loot. This guide covers the exact unlock, the full build cost down to raw ore and wool, the Standard that comes bundled in the same node, and how the cult's set compares to the other seven faction flag sets.

Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Vertical Banner at a Glance

There is one detail that trips people up: the banner is not sold on its own node. It sits inside a node called Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Flag Set, which hands over two pieces at once — the tall vertical banner and the planted Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Standard. So there is no way to buy just the banner, and no way to miss the Standard if you already own the banner. Everything else you need to know is below.

How to Unlock the Banner at Level 28

Reach player Level 28, open the Palworld technology tree, and buy the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Flag Set for 1 Technology Point. There is no prerequisite node above it, no boss you have to beat, and nothing about the cult itself that gates it — you do not need to have visited Mount Obsidian or fought a single Martyr. One point is the floor for tech pricing, and Level 28 is a busy shelf, so it is worth seeing what you are choosing between. The Handgun and the High Quality Monitoring Stand both want three points each, which is what actually eats your budget here. The flag set is the one purchase on this row that will not push either of them back.

Build Materials and What They Cost in Raw Resources

The banner itself asks for 10 Ingot, 10 Fiber and 20 Cloth. That looks light until you unpack the Cloth: each one is two Wool at a Primitive Workbench, so a single banner swallows 40 Wool. Wool is the real bottleneck here, not the metal — the ingots are twenty Ore through a Primitive Furnace, which you unlocked eighteen levels earlier at Technology 10, and the Fiber is five Wood you will have lying around. Get a wool ranch running before you go shopping for decoration.

Material	Qty	Where it comes from
Ingot	10	Primitive Furnace, 2 Ore each — 1,632 ore nodes mapped
Fiber	10	Primitive Workbench, 1 Wood makes 2
Cloth	20	Primitive Workbench, 2 Wool each

Where to Farm the Wool

Three Pals drop Wool on a Ranch, and the Ranch itself is a Level 5 node for 2 points, so this is infrastructure you almost certainly already own. Lamball is the one to lean on — it has the widest spawn presence of the three and it is a Grassland starter, so you can fill a ranch with them long before Level 28 and let 40 Wool accumulate in the background. Melpaca and Cremis work identically if you already have a pair in the box; there is no wool-quality difference between them, only how easy they are to find.

Wool Pal	Element	Spawn spots on the map
Lamball	Neutral	351 spawn spots
Melpaca	Neutral	270 spawn spots
Cremis	Neutral	200 spawn spots

Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Standard

The Standard is the other half of the node — the big planted flagpole rather than the wall hanging. It costs exactly double the metal at 20 Ingot and matches the banner everywhere else, which works out to 40 Ore instead of 20. Build the banner first if your ore is thin, because the wool bill is identical either way and the banner is the piece you will end up placing several of once you start dressing walls and gateways. Doing the whole set at once is 30 Ingot, 20 Fiber and 40 Cloth — 60 Ore, 10 Wood and 80 Wool in raw terms.

Piece	Tech Lv	Build materials	Raw cost
Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Vertical Banner	28	10 Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth	20 Ore · 5 Wood · 40 Wool
Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Standard	28	20 Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth	40 Ore · 5 Wood · 40 Wool

Who the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Are

Flying this banner is a slightly funny choice, because the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre are the faction that shows up to burn your base down. They are the Mount Obsidian raid group, and their tower entrance is one of the 137 fast travel points on the volcano side of the map. Their raids escalate in five bands as your base grows: six Martyrs in a single wave at the bottom, thirty of them across three waves at the top. The payout scales hard too — the endgame band is worth over 106,000 XP and a guaranteed Training Crystal, which makes a Mount Obsidian base genuinely worth defending rather than avoiding. Full wave-by-wave detail lives on the Palworld base raids page.

Raid group	Base grade	Attackers	Waves	XP	Rewards
Eternal Pyre Missionaries	1–10	6 Martyrs, Lv 20	1	120	Training Manual (S) ×10–20 · 10–20 Dog Coin
Brothers of the Eternal Pyre: Extremists	11–20	10 Martyrs, Lv 26	2	1,020	Training Manual (M) ×10–20 · 20–35 Dog Coin
Brothers of the Eternal Pyre: Doomsayers	21–40	21 Martyrs, Lv 32	3	5,575	Training Manual (L) ×10–20 · 40–70 Dog Coin
Eternal Pyre Inquisitors	41–60	24 Martyrs, Lv 42	3	25,350	Training Manual (XL) ×10–20 · 80–140 Dog Coin
Eternal Pyre Condemners	61–80	30 Martyrs, Lv 50	3	106,470	Training Crystal ×1 · 200–300 Dog Coin

All Eight Faction Flag Sets Compared

Every faction flag set in the game costs exactly one Technology Point, so the only thing separating them is when they unlock and what they are made of. The Eternal Pyre set sits third, right on the line where the material tier changes: it and the two below it use plain Ingot, while everything from the PIDF set upward moves to Refined Ingot, and the top four also swap Cloth for High Quality Cloth at ten Wool and a Leather apiece. In practical terms that makes the cult banner the last one you can knock out with early-game infrastructure, and the Free Pal Alliance flag set the only one cheaper than it. Note that the two island factions name their pieces Flag and Banner rather than Standard and Vertical Banner, but the node structure is identical.

Faction set	Tech Lv	Points	Vertical banner materials
Rayne Syndicate	11	1	10 Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth
Free Pal Alliance	20	1	10 Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth
[[structicon:FireCult_Banner|Brothers of the Eternal Pyre]]	28	1	10 Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth
PIDF	39	1	10 Refined Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 Cloth
PAL Genetic Research Unit	50	1	10 Refined Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 High Quality Cloth
Moonflower	55	1	10 Refined Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 High Quality Cloth
Feybreak	60	1	10 Refined Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 High Quality Cloth
Azure Covenant	71	1	10 Refined Ingot · 10 Fiber · 20 High Quality Cloth

Should You Buy It?

Yes, if you have a spare point at 28 — and at one point, you almost always do. The banner has no combat or work value whatsoever, so this is a pure decoration purchase, but it is the cheapest thing on its row and it comes with a second piece attached. The only real cost is the 40 Wool per banner, which is why the honest advice is to buy the node the moment you hit 28 and build the pieces later, once a Ranch full of Lamball has done the work for you. If you are picking a faction to theme a base around, the Eternal Pyre set is the natural one for a Mount Obsidian base — the same volcano the cultists raid you from.
