As you continue your grand adventure across the Palpagos Islands in 2025, you'll quickly realize that keeping your Pals happy and well-fed is the secret to a thriving base. While Red Berries might get you through the early days, your companions will eventually demand more satisfying meals. This is where tomatoes come in, a vital ingredient for advanced recipes. But first, you need to find Palworld tomato seeds, and this guide will show you exactly how.

How to Get Your Hands on Palworld Tomato Seeds

So, how exactly do you acquire these crucial seeds to kickstart your farming empire? Thankfully, you have a couple of solid options: you can either farm them from specific Pals or simply buy them with Gold. The best method for you will likely depend on your current level and how much you enjoy a good fight.

Farming Seeds from Pals

The most reliable and cost-effective way to get a steady supply of tomato seeds is by defeating or capturing certain Pals. Remember, capturing Pals not only helps you fill out your Paldeck but also yields the same resources as defeating them! Here are the Pals you should be looking for:

• Broncherry: This gentle, leafy sauropod is your best bet! They are commonly found in the Bamboo Grove area (around coordinates -218, -440) at approximately level 20. While they are docile, they can pack a punch if provoked, so be prepared.

• Mossanda: Another excellent choice, this giant, moss-covered panda roams the Mossanda Forest (around coordinates 230, -118) at about level 25. They are relatively easy to find and farm.

• Vaelet: This Field Alpha Boss can be found in the wild at level 30. It's a tougher fight but guarantees a drop. It respawns after a one-hour cooldown, so you can farm it periodically.

• Wumpo Botan: Another Field Alpha Boss located in the wilderness (at coordinates 456, -40). At level 38, it presents a significant challenge but offers rewarding drops, including tomato seeds.

For most players, focusing on Broncherry is the most efficient strategy to start, as they are the lowest level and most common Pal on the list.

Buying Seeds from a Merchant

Don't feel like fighting dinosaurs for your dinner? No problem! You can also purchase Palworld tomato seeds directly from a Wandering Merchant. This is a fantastic option if you're flush with Gold. The seeds typically cost 200 Gold each.

You can find a reliable merchant at these locations:

• Fisherman's Point: A merchant on the southeastern dock (coordinates -479, -744) sells both Tomato Seeds and the Tomatoes themselves.

• Duneshelter: Another merchant can be found near the fast travel point in this desert settlement (coordinates 358, 350).

Here's a pro-tip: if you find a merchant with a stock you like, you can capture them and assign them to your base for easy access anytime! 😉

From Seed to Harvest: Building Your Tomato Plantation

Once you have the seeds, you can't just throw them in a cooking pot. You need to grow them. To do this, you'll need to unlock the Tomato Plantation from the Technology menu, which becomes available at Level 32.

Crafting a Tomato Plantation requires the following materials:

• Tomato Seeds x3

• Wood x70

• Stone x60

• Pal Fluids x5

One of the best things about the plantation is that once it's built, it can produce tomatoes infinitely as long as you have Pals working on it. You only need the initial seeds to construct the building itself!

To fully automate your farm, you'll need Pals with the right Work Suitability assigned to your base:

1. Planting: Most Grass-type Pals work well. For top-tier efficiency, look for Pals like Petallia (Lv. 3) or Lyleen (Lv. 4).

2. Watering: Water-type Pals are essential here. Early on, a Penking (Lv. 2) will do, but later you'll want an Azurobe (Lv. 3) or the incredible Jormuntide (Lv. 4).

3. Gathering: Many Pals can gather, but for peak performance, consider a Verdash (Lv. 3) or Frostallion Noct (Lv. 4).

What Can You Cook with Tomatoes?

After all that hard work, what's the reward? Delicious and powerful meals, of course! Tomatoes are a key ingredient in several recipes that provide significant boosts to you and your Pals. Here are a couple of popular options you can make in a Cooking Pot:

Recipe	Ingredients	Effect
Omelet	Tomato x1, Egg x2	Increases Attack by 10%
Salad	Tomato x2, Lettuce x2	Increases Work Speed by 30%

These buffs are incredibly useful. The Attack boost from an Omelet is perfect before a boss fight, while the Salad's Work Speed buff will make your base operations run much more smoothly. Now go on and get your farm started! 🍅
