Palworld server hosting keeps expanding its world with rare resources, and Coralum Ore is one of the most sought-after materials for advanced crafting. If you want powerful gear, you’ll need plenty of this rare resource. Here’s exactly how you can get it, where to find the best spots, and what to craft once you have enough.

TIP

What Is Coralum Ore?

Coralum Ore is a special crafting material introduced in one of Palworld’s major content updates - "Tides of Terraria". Unlike common ores, Coralum can’t be mined from ordinary nodes. Instead, players need to hunt specific Pals, salvage wreckage from the ocean, or manage a sustainable breeding method at their base.

Best Ways to Get Coralum Ore

1. Where to Find and Capture Whalaska

The primary source of Coralum Ore is the Pal called Whalaska. Whalaska is a large, whale-like water Pal that roams colder ocean regions and icy biomes. The best spot to find them is on the Isle of the Glacial Core, a frozen island located northwest of the desert region.

When you defeat or catch a Whalaska, you can collect a good amount of Coralum Ore, often anywhere between 5 and 20 pieces per encounter. This makes hunting them the most direct and reliable method for players strong enough to handle them.

IMPORTANT

Whalaska is easier to locate during daytime when they surface more often near the icy shores

2. Salvage the Ocean

Palworld Fishing

Another option is ocean salvage. With the right equipment, you can dive and fish for valuable materials, including Coralum Ore. To do this efficiently, you’ll need:

  • A Pal that can swim or dive.

  • A decent fishing rod.

  • A high-level fishing magnet or salvage tool (usually unlocked at higher levels).

Salvage spots appear around deep-water areas and near shipwrecks. Each salvage attempt can reward a small amount of Coralum Ore, but you’ll need to be patient—it’s best used as a supplementary method, not your main source.

3. Breeding and Harvesting

If you want a steady supply without constant hunting trips, breeding Whalaska is an option, though a bit more controversial for some players. By building a breeding pen at your base, you can pair a male and female Whalaska to produce offspring. These can be harvested (butchered) for Coralum Ore drops.

It’s actual a practical way to passively gather enough Coralum to meet the large crafting demands in late game.

How to Use Coralum Ore

So, what can you do once you have a stash of Coralum? On its own, Coralum Ore isn’t used directly. You’ll need to smelt it into Coralum Ingots first.

To craft ingots, gather:

  • 5 Coralum Ore

  • 30 standard Ore

  • 20 Coal

IMPORTANT

You’ll also need access to a Gigantic Furnace, which unlocks at higher levels (around Level 60+). Smelting Coralum Ingots opens the door to some of the most powerful gear in Palworld

Coralum Ore Crafting Recipes

Here’s what you can make with your Coralum:

  • Energy Shotgun — A heavy-hitting ranged weapon, great for dealing with tougher Pals and bosses.

  • Overheat Rifle — High damage output with fast firing.

  • Charge Rifle — Ideal for long-range, high-impact shots.

  • Megaboost Gun — Boosts mobility while dishing out damage.

  • Ultra Grappling Gun — For faster map traversal and escaping dangerous situations.

  • Triple Air Dash Boots — Enhances your movement with triple jumps and quick air dashes.

These items come in various tiers, so more Coralum means better upgrades and stronger stats.

Coralum Ore Farming Tips

  • Choose the Right Pal: Bring strong water Pals that can help you travel quickly and fight Whalaska with ease.

  • Upgrade Your Tools: Better rods and magnets make salvage runs worth the time.

  • Plan Your Hunts: Whalaska is easier to find during the day and near certain coasts.

  • Automate When Possible: Set up breeding pens early if you plan on farming large amounts long-term.

Result

Coralum Ore in Palworld is a rare resource used to craft Coralum Ingots for top-tier weapons and gear. You get it by hunting Whalaska in icy seas, salvaging ocean wrecks, or breeding Whalaska at your base. Smelt it in a Gigantic Furnace to make powerful items like rifles, shotguns, and advanced movement gear.
