How to Get Ironwood Table Set: Level 35 and All 3 Pieces

The Ironwood Table Set is a one-point technology at level 35 that adds three wood-and-metal tables to the Furniture tab of your build menu. This guide covers the unlock level and everything else fighting for points on that row, all three recipes, the full 5 Wooden Board and 9 Ingot bill broken down to raw materials, and the fastest way to farm each one.

Ironwood Table Set at a Glance

The game's own blurb on this set tells you exactly what it is for — decorative furniture meant to match metal structures. That is the gap it fills. By level 35 most players have moved their base off wooden walls and onto Metal Diagonal Wall-style construction, and the furniture you own is either bare wood from the early tree or the all-metal Metal Chair and Desk Set from level 22. The ironwood tables sit between the two: a wooden top on a metal frame, so they do not clash with either. There is no parent technology to buy first, so your character level is the only gate. None of the three pieces draws power, none needs a worker assigned, and none can be broken back down, so what you spend is spent for good.

How to Unlock the Ironwood Table Set

Reach character level 35, open the Palworld Technology Tree, and spend one normal point on the Ironwood Table Set — all three tables then live in your build menu permanently. The trouble is the company it keeps. Level 35 is one of the most expensive rows in the whole tree: clearing every normal technology on it costs 22 points, and four of those unlocks are things you will genuinely miss if you skip them. Ultra Sphere at 4 points is the capture upgrade that carries you through the 40s, and Sphere Assembly Line II at 5 points is what lets you mass-produce them without standing at a bench. Carbon Fiber and Circuit Board at 2 points each are pure gate-openers — almost every good structure past level 40 wants one or the other.

Decoration goes last in that queue, obviously, but at 1 point the Ironwood Table Set is the cheapest thing on the row by a wide margin — everything else here starts at 2. It is also the only unlock on the row you can afford on a spare point you were never going to spend on anything else. Note the Air Dash Boots: those cost Ancient Technology Points, so they never compete with the normal point you spend here. The Palumba Saddle on this same row is worth flagging for a different reason — the Pal it saddles is one of the best Ore miners you can catch at this level, and Ore is the material this set actually costs you.

Level 35 technology	Points	Point type
Ironwood Table Set	1	Normal
Carbon Fiber	2	Normal
Circuit Board	2	Normal
Grass Grenade	2	Normal
Blazehowl Noct Saddle	3	Normal
Palumba Saddle	3	Normal
Ultra Sphere	4	Normal
Sphere Assembly Line II	5	Normal
Air Dash Boots	2	Ancient

All 3 Pieces and What Each One Costs

The three tables are not interchangeable — they are three different heights, which is the whole point of buying the set rather than spamming one table. The full-height Ironwood Table is the expensive one at 5 Ingot, and it is the only piece in the set with food in its recipe. Those 2 Red Berries are the tell: in Palworld, berries in a table recipe mean the model comes pre-set with tableware on it, exactly like the level 5 Round Table does. So the Ironwood Table is your dining surface and you cannot get it to look empty.

The other two are bare. The Ironwood Low Table is the cheapest useful piece here — same 2 Wooden Board as the big one but at 2 Ingot instead of 5, and a coffee-table height that reads correctly in front of a Leather Couch. The Ironwood Side Table is the cheapest thing in the set at 1 Wooden Board and 2 Ingot, and it is the one you will place most often — bedside, beside a chair, or tucked into a corner that needs a lamp on it. If you are short on Ingot, build the side table and the low table first and leave the full table until your furnace has caught up.

Piece	Materials	Surface	Best use
Ironwood Table	2 Wooden Board + 5 Ingot + 2 Red Berries	Pre-set with tableware	Dining table — the centrepiece of a mess hall
Ironwood Low Table	2 Wooden Board + 2 Ingot	Bare — decorate it yourself	Coffee table in front of couches and armchairs
Ironwood Side Table	1 Wooden Board + 2 Ingot	Bare — decorate it yourself	Bedside and corner filler — cheapest piece in the set

Total Material Cost Broken Down to Raw

Nine Ingot and five Wooden Board sounds cheap until you unroll it, because Wooden Boards hide a second Ingot chain inside them. Each board is 10 Wood, 5 Fiber and 1 Nail at a Primitive Workbench, and Nails are themselves smelted — one Ingot yields five Nails, which is exactly the five you need. So the real bill is 10 Ingot, not 9, and every Ingot is 2 Ore in a furnace. That lands the whole set at 20 Ore, 50 Wood, 25 Fiber and 2 Red Berries.

Ore is the only line here that costs you real time. Wood and Fiber are base-worker output you already have piles of by level 35, and 2 Red Berries is a rounding error. If you would rather buy your way out, a Wandering Trader sells Ore at 100 Gold and Wood at 12 Gold, and Red Berries go for 50 Gold at almost every village and caravan shop — that is 2,700 Gold for everything except the Fiber, which no merchant stocks.

Raw material	Total needed	Where it goes	Gold if bought
Ore	20	Smelts into all 10 Ingot (9 for the tables, 1 for the Nails)	2,000 Gold — Wandering Trader, 100 each
Wood	50	10 per Wooden Board × 5	600 Gold — Wandering Trader, 12 each
Fiber	25	5 per Wooden Board × 5	Not sold — you have to gather it
Red Berries	2	Tableware on the full-height Ironwood Table only	100 Gold — village, caravan and wandering shops, 50 each

How to Farm the 20 Ore

Twenty Ore is a single trip if you are swinging a pickaxe yourself — 1,632 Ore nodes are mapped across the island and each one gives several. But at level 35 you should not be mining by hand at all. The Ore Mining Site unlocks eleven levels before this set at technology 24, costs 50 Stone, 25 Ingot, 20 Paldium Fragment and 5 Ancient Civilization Parts, and turns any Mining Pal into a permanent Ore tap. If you already have one running, the 20 Ore for this set is already in your chest.

The other thing to sort out before you smelt is heat. The Primitive Furnace from technology 10 works fine, but the Improved Furnace sits at technology 34 — one single level below this set — and it smelts faster with more Kindling slots. If you are unlocking the Ironwood Table Set the moment you hit 35, you walked straight past the furnace upgrade on the previous row.

Method	What you need	Notes
Ore Mining Site	Tech Lv. 24 · 50 Stone, 25 Ingot, 20 Paldium Fragment, 5 Ancient Civilization Parts	Hands-off — any Mining Lv. 1+ Pal works. Deep dive in How to Farm Ore
Ore Mining Site II	Tech Lv. 39 · double the materials of the first one	Four levels past this set — worth waiting for if you are close. See How to Get Ore Mining Site II
Mining nodes yourself	A pickaxe and a mount to carry the weight	1,632 Ore nodes mapped — open the Ore layer on the map
Pierdon	Beat or catch one	Drops 4-5 Ore at a 100% rate — the best Ore drop of any Pal, though it only appears from Lv. 42
Gorirat Terra	Beat or catch one	Drops 2-3 Ore at 100%, and it is Mining 3 as a worker — 67 spawn points from Lv. 35
Wandering Trader	2,000 Gold for all 20	100 Gold per Ore — the lazy option if you are already rich

Menasting — Best Miner You Can Realistically Catch at Level 35

Menasting is the pick, and it is not close. Mining 5 is the highest rank available to anyone at this stage, and unlike the other Mining 5 Pals it is genuinely easy to find — 545 spawn points, more than ten times what Palumba or Reptyro give you. Its level band is 31-44, so it is already spawning at your level and you are not fighting something twenty levels above you to get one. It also brings Lumbering 3 to the same slot, which covers the 50 Wood side of this set from the same Pal.

Palumba — The One This Tech Row Hands You a Saddle For

Palumba is the other Mining 5 option, and it is on this exact technology row — the Palumba Saddle costs 3 points at level 35. It is the more versatile worker of the two: Mining 5, Planting 4 and Gathering 4 in one Pal, so it covers your Ore, your Red Berries plantation and your gathering line at once. The catch is scarcity. Only 42 spawn points exist against Menasting's 545, so expect to hunt for one. Level band 32-50 means it is in range now.

Pal	Mining	Level band	Spawn points	Also good at
Menasting	5	Lv. 31-44	545 — Menasting spawn map	Lumbering 3
Moldron	5	Lv. 32-80	101	Kindling 5 — runs your furnace too
Palumba	5	Lv. 32-50	42 — Palumba spawn map	Planting 4, Gathering 4
Reptyro	5	Lv. 34-50	22	Kindling 5
Digtoise	4	Lv. 17-44	660 — the easiest to find	Nothing else — pure miner
Mammorest	4	Lv. 26-80	484	Lumbering 4, Planting 4
Maraith	4	Lv. 36-59	356	Transporting
Pierdon	5	Lv. 42-50	16 — rare	Drops 4-5 Ore when defeated

How to Get the 5 Wooden Boards

Wooden Board is a Primitive Workbench craft — the 2-Wood bench you built in your first ten minutes still makes them, so there is no station to unlock here. What you want instead is a Pal with high Handiwork standing at it, because five boards is five separate crafts and doing them by hand is a minute of holding a button. Any Handiwork Pal will do it; the ranks below just decide how fast.

Lunaris is the practical pick at this level — Handiwork 4 with a level band starting at 25, so it has been catchable for ten levels already. Verdash is a rank better at Handiwork 5 and starts at 35, exactly where you are, but with 83 spawn points against Lunaris's 63 neither is common. Grizzbolt is the one most players already own from the level 30 band, and Handiwork 4 is plenty. For the 50 Wood feeding those boards, a Logging Site and any Lumbering Pal covers it — full rankings live in Best Pals for Lumbering.

Pal	Handiwork	Level band	Spawn points	Why bring it
Verdash	5	Lv. 35-53	83	Highest Handiwork in range, and it unlocks the moment you hit this tech row
Majex	5	Lv. 35-77	36	Same rank as Verdash but rarer to find
Lunaris	4	Lv. 25-49	63	Catchable ten levels before you need it — the safe default
Elizabee	4	Lv. 34-39	42	Handiwork 4 plus Planting 4 and Gathering 4 — a whole base wing in one slot
Grizzbolt	4	Lv. 30-80	40	Most players already have one — no extra hunting

Ironwood Table Set vs the Other Metal Furniture Sets

Every decoration set in this stretch of the tree costs exactly 1 technology point, so the only thing separating them is what the bill looks like. On that measure the Ironwood Table Set is the second-cheapest metal set in the game — 9 Ingot across three pieces, against 26 for the Metal Chair and Desk Set, 30 for the Metal Barrel Set and a brutal 100 for the Metal Shelf Set. Only the Outdoor Furniture Set two levels later asks for less metal, and it makes up for it by wanting Cement and organ drops off specific Pals.

Buy this one before the Metal Barrel Set on the previous row. Barrels are props you place two of and forget; tables are the pieces a room is actually built around, and three heights for one point is the best furniture value on this half of the tree. The Metal Chair and Desk Set at level 22 is the natural partner — its chairs and stools are the right height for the Ironwood Table, and if you skipped it back then, it is still only a point.

Furniture set	Tech level	Pieces	Total cost for the set
Metal Shelf Set	Lv. 17	4	100 Ingot + 9 Nail
Metal Chair and Desk Set	Lv. 22	4	26 Ingot + 2 Wooden Board
Metal Barrel Set	Lv. 34	3	30 Ingot + 3 Aquatic Pal Fluids
Ironwood Table Set	Lv. 35	3	5 Wooden Board + 9 Ingot + 2 Red Berries
Outdoor Furniture Set	Lv. 37	4	25 Wood + 10 Ingot + 5 Stone + 5 Fiber + 5 Cement + organ drops
Faux Desert Greenery Set	Lv. 37	3	60 Hardwood — no metal at all
Leather Chair Set	Lv. 38	4	30 Wood + 8 Leather + 4 Ingot + 1 Cloth

Summary

Hit character level 35, spend 1 normal technology point, and you get three build pieces — the Ironwood Table, Ironwood Low Table and Ironwood Side Table — for a combined 5 Wooden Board, 9 Ingot and 2 Red Berries, with no prerequisite technology. Smelt ten Ingot rather than nine so you have the Nails for the boards, and the whole set unrolls to 20 Ore, 50 Wood, 25 Fiber and 2 Red Berries. It is the cheapest unlock on a 22-point row, so it should not be your first purchase there — but it is the only set in the game that gives you three table heights for a single point, and the only furniture built to sit inside a metal base without looking wrong.
