High Quality Pal Oil
Material · MaterialMonster0★Premium-grade oil rendered out of Pal, and the one thing Polymer cannot be made without.
High Quality Pal Oil feeds 66 different recipes, which is why it is worth farming past the point you think you need it.
Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack.
Where to Find High Quality Pal Oil
25 Pals drop High Quality Pal Oil when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
If you would rather just buy it, the cheapest seller is Caravan Shop at 300 Gold, and 3 other shops stock it too.
It also shows up as world loot — base fish pond (Snowfields stock), fishing the treasure spots in the Sakurajima and fishing the treasure spots in the Feybreak, usually 1–2 at a time.
Sending a team on the PIDF Illegal Factory expedition brings some back without you leaving base.
Hands-off option: Dumud Gild and Dumud produce it at a Ranch, so a single assigned Pal keeps a slow supply coming in.
Where the useful droppers actually live: Mammorest is a common field spawn with its heaviest pockets around Grassy Behemoth Hills and Icy Weasel Hill, so it is farmable on foot rather than only as a boss. Mammorest Cryst is far scarcer and confined to the north — Pristine Snow Field, Thawtide Cape and Unthawable Lake. Before you can fight either, the desert is the reliable answer: Digtoise swarms Duneshelter and the Desert Backbone at 2-3 oil a kill, and Dumud shares the Anubis Dunes with it. Flambelle clusters at the Foot of the Volcano but pays only 1, so treat it as a detour, not a route.

Using High Quality Pal Oil Well
Two partner skills multiply item drops with no element condition attached: Golden Harvest on Dumud Gild and Soul Collector on Nitemary, both scaling from 100% at rank 1 to 200% at rank 5. At max rank that turns a Mammorest kill into 10-20 oil rather than 5-10, which beats any change of hunting ground. Dumud Gild is the one to level, because the same Pal pays twice — active partner on the kill run, then a Ranch slot at Ranch Lv 4 for the passive trickle while you are doing something else.
Twenty-five Pals drop this at 100%, but the amounts are not close. Mammorest and Mammorest Cryst hand over 5-10 a kill; Eidrolon and Eidrolon Ignis 5-6; everything at the bottom of the list — Dumud, Woolipop, Flambelle — gives exactly 1. That is a ten-fold spread on identical effort, so the only question worth asking is which of the big droppers you can actually kill at your level. The alpha versions of both Mammorests carry the same 5-10 band on top of their Ancient Civilization Parts (Ancient Civilization Parts), which makes an alpha respawn circuit the densest oil route in the game once you can clear them.
