What are Venom Glands and Why Do I Need Them?

How to Find Venom Glands in Palworld
Your primary method of securing Venom Glands is by defeating (or capturing) Dark-type Pals. Some of the most reliable sources include:
- Depresso
- Daedream
- Cawgnito
- Helzephyr
- Killamari
- Menasting
Here's how to maximize your chances of finding Venom Glands:
- Hunt at Night: Most Dark-types are more active in the shadows, so plan your expeditions for nighttime.
- Target Bosses: Powerful boss Pals like Daedream and Killamari have a higher drop rate for Venom Glands.
- Explore Dark Areas: Look for areas with poison themes for higher concentrations of Dark-type Pals.
- Revisit Chest Locations: Treasure chests respawn in Palworld, giving you multiple chances to find Venom Glands.
Alternative: Buying Venom Glands
Desperate for that poison upgrade but short on time? Look for Wandering Merchants, such as the one in Small Settlement. They sometimes sell Venom Glands, but 1.0 reshuffled shop stock and prices, so check what they ask in Gold Coins. Just keep in mind, gold is better spent on rare Pals and essential supplies.
What to Make with Venom Glands
Here's a taste of what Venom Glands can create:
Weapons
- Poison Arrows (since 1.0 you switch the arrow type on a compatible weapon to use them, and the dedicated Poison Bow and Poison Arrow Crossbow can no longer be crafted)
Pal Equipment
- Killamari’s Gloves (add melee poison damage)
- Shadowbeak Saddle
Base Accessories
Additional Tips for Palworld Venom Gland Domination
- Bring Dragon Pals: Dragon-type Pals have a natural advantage against Dark-types, giving you the upper hand in combat.
- Empty Your Bags: Make sure you have inventory space before hunting. Venom Glands take up room!
- Consider Trading: Swap your Venom Glands with other players for ready-to-use, high-level poison arrows.
