Summary
- Ranch drops are essential for funding your breeding farm, feeding pals, making gear, and for aesthetics.
- To build a ranch, you need resources like fiber, wood, and stone, and you must be at least level 5.
- Starting with farming pals like Lamball, Chikipi, and Vixy will provide wool, eggs, and pal spheres for various purposes.
Ranch drops are necessary in order to get the best-of-the-best gear and Pals in the game. You will need pretty well all of the drops you can get from the Ranch in order to fund your breeding farm, feed your pals, make gear, so on. The ranch drops even have a purpose for aesthetics, as a lot of furniture and hats rely on Wool that you can get from the ranch.

StoneOnce you have this set up and place in your base, all you need now are Pals that can graze. Here is a list of Pals you can assign to your base that will automatically begin grazing unless you give them a different task:

In the early game, you're really going to want to get your farms up and running as soon as possible. However, your priority is being able to survive and catch Pals. Once you have your ranch set up, you should immediately get the following Pals on your ranch grazing as soon as possible:
-
Lamball
- The wool you use from Lamball will be used throughout the game, even at high levels.
-
Chikipi
- The eggs from Chikipi are used to make
Cake
later on, but you can also use them to make
Fried Egg
for easy early-game food.
-
Vixy
- Vixy will help you get
Pal Sphere
. You should get one or two as soon as possible so you don't have to spend as much time farming Stone, Paldium Fragments, and Wood.
If you can get your hands on Mozzarine or Beegarde early, I highly suggest getting these two as well. However, they can be pretty difficult to catch before Level 16.
