How to Get Advanced Chest: Level 59 and Materials

The Advanced Chest is the last storage container in the game, and it is the only one that solves the base-clutter problem for good — 54 slots in a single box, with more HP and Defense than anything else you can store items in. This guide covers the level 59 unlock, the 20 Hexolite, 20 Carbon Fiber and 2 Computer it costs, every raw material underneath that recipe, and whether it beats the Refined Metal Chest you have been spamming for 20 levels.

Advanced Chest at a Glance

It sits in the Storage tab of the build menu, one row past the Refined Metal Chest, and it is a plain container — no power, no assigned worker, no maintenance. What sets it apart is the numbers. At 54 slots it holds more than any other single container, and at 15,000 HP with 15 Defense it is the sturdiest storage object in the game by a wide margin. That matters more than it sounds: raiders and hostile Pals target base structures, and a chest that dies takes its contents with it. Everything else about this build is expensive, which is the trade.

How to Unlock the Advanced Chest

Hit character level 59, open the Palworld Technology Tree, and spend four points. That is the whole unlock — no schematic to hunt, no boss to farm, no parent node to buy first. Four points is the most any chest in the game costs, and it follows the pattern exactly: the Wooden Chest is 1 point at level 2, Metal Chest is 2 at level 13, Refined Metal Chest is 3 at level 39, and this one closes the line at 4.

Requirement	Status
Character level 59	Hard gate — the node will not appear before it
4 technology points	Normal points; see how to farm more below
Parent technology	None
Schematic or drop	Not needed
Gigantic Furnace (Lv. 58)	Effectively mandatory — the only station that smelts Hexolite
Production Assembly Line (Lv. 29)	Makes Carbon Fiber and Polymer
Production Assembly Line II (Lv. 42)	Makes the Computer and its Bio Batteries
Placement	Anywhere inside a base's build radius

The real gate is not the four points, it is the Gigantic Furnace one level earlier. Hexolite only comes out of that furnace, and the furnace itself wants 150 Plasteel, 100 Polymer, 200 Flame Organ and 12 Computers. If you are reading this at level 59 without a furnace standing, build that first — the chest is a 20-minute job afterwards and impossible before. If points are what you are short on, farming technology points off Alpha Pals and tower bosses is faster than levelling.

Advanced Chest Materials

Three materials, 42 items total, and none of them are things you pick up off the ground. Every single one is a crafted intermediate, which is why this chest feels so much heavier than the rest of the line. Hexolite is the Feybreak-tier alloy and the bulk of the cost. Carbon Fiber is the cheap one — 100 Charcoal and 20 Flame Organ covers all 20 of them. The two Computers look small on the recipe card and are actually the deepest part of the tree, pulling in Circuit Boards, Plasteel and Bio Batteries underneath. Nothing here is sold by a merchant, so all of it has to be made.

Material	Qty	Crafted at	What it needs
Hexolite	20	Gigantic Furnace (Lv. 58)	1 Chromite + 1 Hexolite Quartz each
Carbon Fiber	20	Production Assembly Line (Lv. 29)	5 Charcoal + 1 Flame Organ each
Computer	2	Production Assembly Line II (Lv. 42)	2 Circuit Board + 3 Plasteel + 2 Bio Battery + 2 Carbon Fiber each

How to Get Hexolite

Hexolite is a one-to-one alloy: one Chromite plus one Hexolite Quartz per bar, smelted in the Gigantic Furnace. The quartz is the easy half — 635 Hexolite Quartz nodes are pinned across the map and the crystal only forms on Feybreak, so a base parked in the middle of a cluster turns this into a mining Pal's problem instead of yours. Chromite is the awkward half, because it does not spawn as a surface node at all. It is buried, and you dig it up with a Metal Detector on the right islands. If you would rather not dig, supply drops in Feybreak always carry 30 to 40 Chromite, which is more than the whole chest needs from a single crate.

Material	Qty needed	Best sources
Hexolite Quartz	20	635 mapped nodes on the Hexolite Quartz map layer; Feybreak field chests (15.2%, 1-2); Ancient Feybreak Ruins expedition (10-20)
Chromite	20	Metal Detector digs; Feybreak supply drops (100%, 30-40); Dark Cave of Feybreak expedition (30-50 in 60 min); Sunreach Isle field chests (14.9%, 1-5)

The Dark Cave of Feybreak expedition is the standout here and most players never look at it — one Hard run takes 60 minutes of real time and returns 30 to 50 Chromite with no effort from you at all. Queue it before you log off, and the Chromite half of the chest is done by morning. Picking the right expedition team cuts the failure rate on Hard runs, which is the only thing that can waste the trip.

How to Get Carbon Fiber

Each Carbon Fiber is 5 Charcoal and 1 Flame Organ on a Production Assembly Line, so 20 of them means 100 Charcoal and 20 Flame Organ. Charcoal is 2 Wood a piece in any furnace, so that half is 200 Wood — a single Lumbering Pal at a base with a few of the 4,654 mapped tree nodes nearby covers it while you do something else. Flame Organ is the part you actually farm, and every source below drops it on a guaranteed 100% roll, so this is a kill count rather than a rarity grind.

Pal	Flame Organ per kill	Spawn spots	Alpha
Bushi Noct	4-8	1,990	—
Ragnahawk	5-7	150	—
Reptyro	5-7	22	Lv. 50
Blazamut	10	16	Lv. 52
Suzaku	5-10	13	Lv. 45

Bushi Noct is the answer and it is not close — 1,990 spawn points across the islands against Ragnahawk's 150, at 4 to 8 organs a kill. Four or five of them cover the whole chest. Blazamut hands over a flat 10 every time but only spawns in 16 places, so it is a detour rather than a route. The better long-term play is passive: three Pals produce Flame Organ on a Ranch and never stop, which quietly stockpiles the material for every Carbon Fiber build after this one. Flambelle is the easiest of the three to get hold of with 232 spawn points.

How to Get Computer

Two Computers is where the recipe hides its real weight. Each one is 2 Circuit Board, 3 Plasteel, 2 Bio Battery and 2 Carbon Fiber on a Production Assembly Line II, and three of those four are themselves crafted. Plasteel needs an Electric Furnace and Crude Oil, which means a Crude Oil Extractor on one of the 185 mapped oil fields — if you have not set that up yet, do it before anything else on this list, because Plasteel gates most of the late game and not just this chest.

Sub-material	Qty for 2 Computers	Recipe	Station
Circuit Board	4	2 Pure Quartz + 1 Polymer	Production Assembly Line
Plasteel	6	2 Crude Oil + 5 Ore	Electric Furnace (Lv. 44)
Bio Battery	4	1 Electric Organ + 1 Refined Ingot + 1 Carbon Fiber	Production Assembly Line II
Carbon Fiber	4	5 Charcoal + 1 Flame Organ each	Production Assembly Line

Note the sting in that table: the Bio Batteries want another 4 Carbon Fiber on top of the 4 the Computers ask for directly, so the chest actually consumes 28 Carbon Fiber rather than the 20 printed on its recipe. Polymer is the other easy thing to run out of — 2 Pal Oil and 1 Sulfur each, with 655 Sulfur nodes mapped for the mineral half. Electric Organ is the one material in the entire tree you can simply buy, at 300 Gold from Village, Caravan and Dungeon shops.

The Full Raw Material Cost of One Advanced Chest

Here is what one chest costs once every intermediate is unpacked down to things you mine, chop, pump or kill for. It is a bigger list than the three-line recipe suggests, and the two numbers that surprise people are the 280 Wood and the 28 Flame Organ — both driven entirely by Carbon Fiber, and both trivially automated at a base. The genuinely scarce entries are the 20 Chromite and 20 Hexolite Quartz, which is a Feybreak trip either way. Everything else you almost certainly already have piled up by level 59.

Raw material	Total needed	Where it comes from
Wood	280	4,654 mapped Lumber nodes — burns down to 140 Charcoal
Ore	38	1,632 mapped Copper Ore nodes
Flame Organ	28	Bushi Noct and other Fire Pals at a 100% drop rate, or a Ranch
Chromite	20	Metal Detector digs and Feybreak supply drops (30-40 per crate)
Hexolite Quartz	20	635 mapped Hexolite Quartz nodes on Feybreak
Crude Oil	12	185 mapped Oil Fields via the Crude Oil Extractor
Pure Quartz	8	607 mapped Pure Quartz nodes
Pal Oil	8	Mammorest drops 5-10 on a guaranteed roll
Coal	8	824 mapped Coal nodes — feeds the Refined Ingots
Sulfur	4	655 mapped Sulfur nodes
Electric Organ	4	300 Gold each at Village, Caravan and Dungeon shops

If you are building more than one — and you should, since the whole point is replacing a wall of small boxes — multiply the two Feybreak entries and leave the rest to your base. A base sitting on Copper Ore and Coal with a Lumbering Pal and a Ranch produces almost this entire list on its own; check the best base locations for spots that cover several of these node types at once.

Advanced Chest vs Every Other Chest

The honest comparison, because "biggest chest" is only half the story. On slots and survivability the Advanced Chest wins outright — 15,000 HP is nearly double the Refined Metal Chest and more than triple the Wooden Chest, and its 15 Defense tops the list too. But the Refined Metal Chest costs 5 Refined Ingot, 10 Hardwood and 10 Nail, which you can mass-produce without thinking, and the Large Container is 100 Ingot for 10,000 HP of bulk storage at level 23. The Advanced Chest is not a replacement for spamming those — it is the box you put the things you cannot afford to lose in.

Chest	Tech Lv.	Points	HP	Def	Materials
Wooden Chest	2	1	4,000	6	15 Wood, 5 Stone
Metal Chest	13	2	6,000	9	5 Ingot, 10 Wood
Large Container	23	—	10,000	4	100 Ingot
Refined Metal Chest	39	3	8,000	12	5 Refined Ingot, 10 Hardwood, 10 Nail
Guild Chest	41	—	4,000	6	50 Refined Ingot, 100 Paldium Fragment, 10 Ancient Civilization Parts
Japanese-Style Chest	55	—	2,000	2	15 Hardwood, 5 Stone
Advanced Chest	59	4	15,000	15	20 Hexolite, 20 Carbon Fiber, 2 Computer

One row deserves a second look. The Guild Chest has the same 4,000 HP as the starter Wooden Chest, so it is fragile, but it moves items through subspace and shares its contents across every base you place one in. That is a completely different job. Build Guild Chests for logistics between bases and Advanced Chests for the vault at your main one — they are not competing for the same slot. The Japanese-Style Chest at the bottom of the durability list is purely cosmetic and should never hold anything you care about.

Pair It With the Item Retrieval Machine

The one thing 54 slots does not fix is remembering which box has your ammo. The Item Retrieval Machine unlocks ten levels earlier at 49 and pulls from every chest in the base at once, so pairing it with two or three Advanced Chests turns your whole storage wall into a single searchable inventory. It costs 100 Pal Metal Ingot, 30 Paldium Fragment and 4 Bio Battery — the Bio Batteries you are already making for the Computers.

Is the Advanced Chest Worth Building?

Yes, but build two or three rather than twenty. The material cost is real — 28 Carbon Fiber, 20 Chromite and a Gigantic Furnace standing before you can start — so this is not a box you spam the way you spammed Metal Chests. What it is worth doing is consolidating: replace the wall of Refined Metal Chests holding your ingots, ammo and schematics with a couple of Advanced Chests, keep the cheap boxes for bulk ore and wood that you would not mourn, and put the Item Retrieval Machine in front of all of it. At 54 slots and 15,000 HP a piece, three of them is the last storage decision you will need to make.
