How to Get Antique Chair Set: Level 11 and All 3 Chairs

The Antique Chair Set is a one-point technology unlock at level 11 that drops three seats into your build menu — the Antique Wooden Chair, the Antique Green Wooden Chair and the Antique Stool. This guide covers the level and point cost, each seat's exact recipe, the full 30 Wood and one Venom Gland bill, and where to kill for that single gland without going out of your way.

Antique Chair Set at a Glance

Three pieces for one point is the standard rate for a decoration set, and this is the cheapest antique set in the game to actually build — 30 Wood and a single Venom Gland, against 155 Wood and 23 Ingot for the Antique Storage Set one level earlier. Two of the three seats need nothing but ten Wood each, so you can put them up the second you buy the technology. Nothing in the set is a work station and nothing draws power, so these are safe to place anywhere without pulling a Pal off your production lines. There is no parent technology either — hitting level 11 is the whole requirement.

How to Unlock the Antique Chair Set

Reach character level 11, open the Palworld Technology Tree, and spend one point on the Antique Chair Set — all three seats then live permanently in the Furniture tab of your build menu. There is no schematic to find and no boss gating it. Level 11 is one of the meanest rows in the early tree, though: clearing everything on it costs 12 points and you will not have anywhere near that. The Metal Axe and Metal Pickaxe at two points each are the ones that actually change your day, because they roughly double how fast you strip a tree or a rock, and the High-Quality Workbench at three points is what unlocks better gear crafting. The chair set is one point and purely cosmetic, so buy it on a level-up where you have a spare point rattling around rather than ahead of the tools.

All 3 Antique Seats and Build Costs

Every piece costs exactly 10 Wood, and only the green chair adds anything on top — one Venom Gland. That makes the Antique Wooden Chair and the Antique Stool the two cheapest antique pieces in the entire family, and it means you can furnish a whole room the moment you buy the technology and finish the green one later. The stool is the useful oddity here: it has no back, so it tucks under an Antique Desk or a table edge where the chairs will not fit. If you only want one, take the Antique Wooden Chair — it is the piece the set is named for and it costs the least to sit next to a desk.

Piece	Materials	What it is
Antique Wooden Chair	10 Wood	The plain high-backed chair — the namesake piece and the one to build first
Antique Stool	10 Wood	Backless, so it slides under a desk or table where a chair will not fit
Antique Green Wooden Chair	10 Wood, 1 Venom Gland	Green-painted variant — the only piece in the set with a Pal-drop material

Total Material Cost for the Full Set

Building all three costs 30 Wood and 1 Venom Gland, and nothing here is refined — no furnace step, no workbench step, no ingots or cloth to prepare first. That is the lightest bill of any antique technology in the game and one of the lightest of any set at any level. The Wood is a two-minute job; the gland is the only line that can make you take a detour, and even then it is a single kill on a very common Pal.

Material	Qty needed	Refining needed	Where it comes from
Wood	30	None — raw	Chopped from trees, produced by a Logging Site, or bought for 12 Gold each from a Wandering Trader
Venom Gland	1	None — raw	Guaranteed drop from any Dark or poison Pal, or bought for 300 Gold from a merchant

Where to Farm the 30 Wood

Thirty Wood is three trees with a stone axe, and there are 4,654 lumber nodes across Palpagos Islands — you can see every one of them on the Palworld interactive map with the lumber layer on. The better move at level 11 is to stop gathering it by hand entirely: the Logging Site unlocks four levels earlier at technology 7 and costs 50 Wood, 20 Stone and 10 Paldium Fragment, and one assigned worker keeps your chest topped up forever. Lumbering runs from rank 1 to rank 8 across 63 Pals; the ones below are the realistic catches at this stage, and note who is at the top of the list.

Pal	Lumbering	Other jobs	Why bring it
Cawgnito	2	Farming 1	Chops for you *and* drops the Venom Gland this set needs — the one Pal that covers the whole recipe
Gorirat	3	Transporting 3, Handiwork 2	Best early Lumbering rank you can realistically catch, and it hauls its own logs to a chest
Arsox	2	Kindling 3	Doubles as your furnace worker, so one Palbox slot covers wood and smelting
Robinquill	2	Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Planting 2	The all-rounder — parks on a Logging Site but covers the workbench and berry plots too
Tanzee	1	Planting 1, Handiwork 1, Gathering 1	Slow, but it is a first-hour catch and it will chip away at a Logging Site for free
Lifmunk	1	Planting 1, Handiwork 1, Gathering 1	Same story as Tanzee, and you almost certainly already have one in the box

How to Get the Venom Gland

You need exactly one, and every Pal below drops it at a 100% rate, so this is a single kill rather than a farm. Cawgnito is the answer for most players: it is the most common venom dropper on the map at 1,463 spawn spots, it gives 2 glands a kill, and it is a Lumbering worker — so the same catch that finishes this recipe also produces the Wood for it. Depresso is the backup if you are playing after dark, since it only appears at night but sits at 406 spots and drops 2 to 3. If you would rather not fight anything at all, merchants sell Venom Gland outright for 300 Gold, which is the entire remaining cost of the set. Every location below deep-links straight to the map.

Pal	Glands per kill	Spawn spots	When it appears	Notes
Cawgnito	2	1,463	Day and night	The easiest one to find — see every Cawgnito spawn
Croajiro Noct	2-4	645	Day and night	Bigger stack than Cawgnito — see every Croajiro Noct spawn
Menasting	5-10	545	Day and night	Biggest haul of any venom dropper, but it hits far harder than the rest
Depresso	2-3	406	Night only	Weakest venom dropper in the game — see every Depresso spawn
Killamari	2-4	361	Day and night	Only 201 of its spots are active in daylight, so it is easier to find after dark
Needoll Noct	1	325	Night only	Smallest stack on the list — take it only if one is already in front of you
Shroomer Noct	4-8	189	Day and night	Rarer, but the second-biggest stack and it is a Planting worker worth catching anyway
Daedream	1	164	Night only	One gland a kill, which is still exactly what this set needs

Do the Antique Chairs Do Anything?

No — all three are pure decoration. None of them is a job station, so no Pal can be assigned to one, none of them draws power, and none of them feeds a SAN or comfort stat the way a bed or a Japanese-Style Hot Spring does. They sit in the Furniture tab alongside the mirrors and the carpets rather than in Infrastructure with the things that actually keep your Pals working. That is not a reason to skip them, but it is a reason not to buy the point early: at level 11 you are still one Metal Axe away from halving your gathering time, and the chairs will be exactly as good five levels later.

Every Chair and Stool in Palworld Compared

There are 18 seats in the build menu across the whole game, and the antique three sit in a useful spot: they are the first upgrade over the plain wooden set at technology 5, and they cost the same 10 Wood to build. That is the real argument for the point — you are not paying more per chair, you are just getting better-looking ones. The cheapest seat in the game is the Wooden Stool at 5 Wood, and the Iron Chair at technology 22 is the first one that stops using wood entirely. If you want the fanciest seat available, that is the Japanese Floor Chair at technology 55, which needs Hardwood and Cloth rather than raw timber.

How It Compares to the Other Antique Sets

Eleven antique technologies run from level 9 to level 26, and every single one costs exactly one point, so the only question is what each point buys. By build cost this set wins outright — 31 units of material against 185 for the Antique Storage Set and 112 for the Antique Lamp Set — and it is the earliest one that gives you three pieces. By pure value the Antique Storage Set at level 10 is still the best point in the family, because all five of its pieces are working containers rather than decoration. Buy that one first, then take the chairs at 11 and the Antique Desk Set at 14, because those two were built to go together: the chair set's own description tells you to pair it with an antique desk.

Where to Put Each Seat

The Antique Stool is the one worth planning around: with no back on it, it is the only seat in the set that slides fully under an Antique Desk, so build the desk first and the stool second if you are making a study. The two chairs want a wall behind them or a table in front of them — dropped in open floor they read as clutter, and your base Pals will path straight through the space anyway. Because none of the three is a job station, they are safe inside living quarters where a Logging Site or a workbench would waste a worker slot. The one real limit is the structure cap: all three still count against your base's build limit, so budget three slots before you start. For everything else competing for those slots, see the list of all base structures.
