How to Get Antique Desk Set: Level 14 and Both Pieces

The Antique Desk Set is a one-point technology unlock at level 14 that adds two pieces to your build menu — the Antique Desk and the Antique Round Table. This guide covers the level and point cost, both recipes, the full 40 Wood, 10 Fiber and 7 Stone bill, and the chair set the game expects you to pair it with.

Antique Desk Set at a Glance

Two pieces for one point makes this the thinnest antique set in the family — every other multi-piece set on the list gives three or more. What it gives back is speed. This is the only antique set whose entire bill is Wood, Stone and Fiber, so there is no furnace step, no loom step and no Pal drop to hunt down. You buy the point, walk to a tree line, and both pieces go up in the same session. Neither is a work station, so nothing draws power and nothing needs a worker assigned. There is no parent technology either — hitting character level 14 is the whole requirement.

How to Unlock the Antique Desk Set

Reach character level 14, open the Palworld Technology Tree, and spend one normal point on the Antique Desk Set. Both pieces then sit permanently in the Furniture tab of your build menu — no schematic to find, no boss to beat. The catch is what else is on this row. Buying all of level 14 costs 12 normal points, which you will not have at 14, and the Sphere Workbench alone wants three of them. That workbench is the single most important unlock on the row, because it is what ends hand-crafting spheres one at a time, and the Mega Sphere right beside it is what lets you actually hold onto the Pals you throw them at. The Average Feed Bag is the quality-of-life pick — it auto-feeds your party so your Pals stop starving mid-fight. Both decoration sets on the row cost one point each and lose absolutely nothing by waiting until your capture and food loops are sorted. The Pal Essence Condenser does not compete at all: it is bought with Ancient Technology Points from tower bosses, a completely separate pool from your normal points.

Level 14 technology	Points	Point type
Antique Desk Set	1	Normal
Sphere Workbench	3	Normal
Mega Sphere	2	Normal
Average Feed Bag	2	Normal
Wall Torch	2	Normal
Faux Crimson Foliage Set	1	Normal
Univolt Saddle	1	Normal
Pal Essence Condenser	2	Ancient

Both Antique Desk Set Recipes

The two recipes are almost identical: 20 Wood and 5 Fiber each, and the only thing separating them is the stone. The Antique Desk asks for 5 Stone and the Antique Round Table asks for 2, which makes the table the cheapest build in the set by a whole three units. If you are short on materials and only want one, take the desk — it has the flat top and the drawer bank, so it reads as a work surface in a room, while the round table reads as filler unless you have chairs to put around it. Build both and you have spent 40 Wood, 10 Fiber and 7 Stone total, which is roughly one tree line and one boulder.

Piece	Materials	Refining needed	What it is
Antique Desk	20 Wood, 5 Fiber, 5 Stone	None — all raw	The centrepiece: a flat writing desk with a drawer bank, meant to be paired with a chair
Antique Round Table	20 Wood, 5 Fiber, 2 Stone	None — all raw	Cheapest build in the set at 27 units, and the better piece for a dining or common room

Total Material Cost for Both Pieces

The full set costs 40 Wood, 10 Fiber and 7 Stone — 57 units, all of it raw. That is the whole appeal. There is no smelting queue, no ranch and no boss drop anywhere in the bill, which is not true of any other antique set. The whole thing weighs 146, so you carry it in one trip with room to spare. If you would rather buy your way out of the gathering, a Wandering Trader sells Wood and Stone at 12 Gold each, so the 40 Wood and 7 Stone come to 564 Gold; Fiber is not on their stock list, so that line you handle yourself either way.

Material	Qty needed	Weight	Where it comes from
Wood	40	120	Chopped from trees, produced by a Logging Site, or bought for 12 Gold each from a Wandering Trader
Fiber	10	5	Chopped from trees, or crafted 2 at a time from 1 Wood at a workbench
Stone	7	21	Mined from rocks, produced by a Stone Pit, or bought for 12 Gold each from a Wandering Trader

Where to Farm the 40 Wood

Wood is the only line here big enough to notice, and there are 4,654 lumber nodes across Palpagos Islands — turn on the Palworld map's lumber layer and pick the cluster nearest your base. Forty Wood is a handful of trees by hand, but at level 14 the right answer is to stop swinging an axe: the Logging Site unlocks back at technology level 7 for 50 Wood, 20 Stone and 10 Paldium Fragment, and a Lumbering Pal parked on it turns this whole bill into something already sitting in your chest. Lumbering runs rank 1 to rank 8 across 63 Pals, but at this stage you want whatever you can realistically catch. Eikthyrdeer is the standard pick and it is everywhere at 227 spawn locations, plus it doubles as your early mount. Dinossom is a rank higher and even more common at 262 locations. Mossanda at Lumbering 4 is the real upgrade if you can handle one, though at 52 spawn locations it is not a Pal you stumble into.

Pal	Lumbering	Spawn locations	Why bring it
Mossanda	4	52	Best Lumbering rank you can catch this early, and Transporting 4 hauls its own output to the chest
Dinossom	3	262	Lumbering 3 with Planting 3 on the side — the most common decent lumberjack on the map
Gorirat	3	67	Lumbering 3 plus Transporting 3, and it fights well enough to catch itself out in the field
Eikthyrdeer	2	227	The default early pick — 227 spawn locations and a mount you will actually use
Univolt	1	54	Only Lumbering 1, but its saddle is on this exact technology row so you may be catching one anyway
Tanzee	1	72	Free and immediate — it chips away at wood while covering Planting, Handiwork and Gathering too
Lifmunk	1	211	The starter-area filler at 211 locations; slow, but you will have one long before level 14

Where to Farm the 7 Stone

Seven Stone is almost not worth planning for. Rock is the most abundant node type in the game — 8,157 rocks plus another 4,286 small rocks map-wide, all visible on the Palworld map with the rock layer on — and a single boulder covers the entire set several times over. If you have somehow run dry, the Stone Pit unlocks at technology level 7 for 50 Stone, 20 Wood and 10 Paldium Fragment, and any Mining Pal on it makes stone a problem you never think about again. Mining runs rank 1 to rank 8 across 57 Pals; the picks below are the ones actually available around level 14. Digtoise is the standout — Mining 4 and, at 660 spawn locations, one of the easiest good workers in the game to find.

Pal	Mining	Spawn locations	Why bring it
Digtoise	4	660	Best mining rank you can get this early and the easiest to find at 660 locations — its rolling attack also shreds nodes out in the field
Bulldosu	4	52	Same Mining 4, plus Transporting 3 so it carries its own stone into storage
Rushoar	1	148	Mining 1 at base, but its charge attack smashes rocks in the field faster than a pickaxe
Cattiva	1	367	The most common Pal on the map at 367 locations — free, slow, and enough for a 7-stone bill

How to Get the 10 Fiber

Fiber comes off the same trees as the Wood, so if you chopped for the 40 Wood you very likely already have it. The line worth knowing is the fallback: a workbench turns 1 Wood into 2 Fiber, so 10 Fiber is 5 Wood if you are short. That means the true worst case for this entire set is 45 Wood, 7 Stone and a Primitive Workbench, which costs 2 Wood and is available from the moment you land. Fiber is also the lightest thing in the bill at 0.5 per unit, so 10 of them add 5 to your load — carrying spare is free.

Pair It With the Antique Chair Set

The game tells you outright what to do with this set — its own description says to use it with an antique chair. That is the Antique Chair Set, a separate one-point technology three levels earlier at 11, and it is the cheapest set in the whole antique family at 31 units for three pieces. Buy both and you have spent two points for five matching pieces, which is better value than any single antique set on the tree. A desk and one wooden chair together costs just 30 Wood, 5 Fiber and 5 Stone — the cheapest complete-looking furniture arrangement you can put in a base. The Antique Green Wooden Chair is the odd one out because it wants a Venom Gland, which is a Pal drop rather than something you gather; Tarantriss and Prixter both drop it at a 100% rate, so one kill covers it. If you just want chairs around the round table, build the plain wooden chair or the stool instead and skip the poison detour.

Antique Chair Set piece	Materials	Pairs with
Antique Wooden Chair	10 Wood	The desk — same silhouette, no extra materials
Antique Stool	10 Wood	The round table — backless, so it tucks fully underneath
Antique Green Wooden Chair	10 Wood, 1 Venom Gland	Either — the only piece in both sets that needs a Pal drop

How It Compares to the Other Antique Sets

Nine sets carry the Antique name, running from level 10 to level 26, plus the standalone Antique Dresser at 21, and every one of them costs a single technology point. So the only question is what each point buys. At two pieces, the Desk Set buys the least of any multi-piece set in the family — the Antique Storage Set at level 10 gives five, and every one of those is a working container. On total materials the Desk Set lands mid-table at 57 units, fourth cheapest behind the Chair Set's 31, the Couch Set's 50 and the Bath Set's 55. Where it genuinely wins is the refining column: it is the only set in the list you can complete straight off a gathering trip, with no furnace, loom or Pal drop anywhere in the recipe. If you are decorating in tech order, buy the Storage Set first for the containers, the Chair Set second because it is dirt cheap, and this one third to give the chairs something to sit at.

Antique Desk vs the Later Desk Sets

If you outgrow the wooden look, there are two later technologies that cover the same furniture slot. The Metal Chair and Desk Set at level 22 gives four pieces including the Iron Desk and the Round Iron Table, and the Ironwood Table Set at 35 fills out the mixed wood-and-metal look. Both are meaningfully more expensive per piece, because the moment you leave the antique tier the recipes switch from Wood and Stone to Ingot and Wooden Board — the Iron Desk alone wants 15 Ingot, which is more refined metal than the entire Antique Desk Set costs in raw units. None of it is an upgrade in any mechanical sense; these are all pure decoration and they all behave identically. Pick on looks and on what your base is built out of. Stone and wood bases keep the antique pieces; metal bases get the iron ones.

Desk	Technology	Level	Materials
Antique Desk	Antique Desk Set	14	20 Wood, 5 Fiber, 5 Stone
Antique Round Table	Antique Desk Set	14	20 Wood, 5 Fiber, 2 Stone
Iron Desk	Metal Chair and Desk Set	22	15 Ingot, 2 Wooden Board
Round Iron Table	Metal Chair and Desk Set	22	5 Ingot

Where to Place Each Piece

The Antique Desk wants a wall. Push its back edge flat against one and drop a chair in front of it and the corner immediately reads as a study rather than a pile of furniture; leave it floating in open floor and it just looks abandoned. The Antique Round Table is the opposite — it needs clearance on all sides, because the entire point of a round table is chairs around it, so give it the middle of a room and put three stools on it. Neither piece is a job station, which means both are safe inside living quarters without pulling a worker off your production lines, and your base Pals will path around them rather than trying to use them. The one real constraint is the structure cap: two pieces is two slots against your base limit, and decoration competes with the same budget as your furnaces and chests. Check the list of all Palworld base structures before you commit slots to a study nobody works in.
