Character progression in Palworld is pretty straightforward – you gain experience, level up, and gradually unlock new equipment as you grow stronger and stronger. In addition, you can also use schematics to unlock access to new weapons and armor that are often better than what you can get from the Technology tab.
How To Get Schematics In Palworld

Schematics are one of the possible rewards you get whenever you open a treasure chest or defeat an Alpha Pal. You can also buy a handful of them from merchants, such as the one living in the Small Settlement. The schematics sold by merchants will allow you to craft a variety of funny hats that, unfortunately, come with little to no defensive proprieties.
If you’re looking for schematics for proper armor and weapons you’ll need to pray to the RNG gods and loot as many chests as possible. Make sure you always have a few keys on you because you’ll need them to open high-quality treasure chests. It’s a good idea to mark the location of all the chests you find on your map because they respawn after a while and can be looted again.
Chests aside, you can also get your hands on some schematics by farming Alpha Pals. All Alpha Pals can drop schematics, but only some of them have a chance to drop the highly coveted Legendary schematics. In total, there are 17 Legendary schematics to collect; 11 for armor and 6 for weapons. You can find a list of all the Alpha Pals that drop Legendary schematics down below.

How To Use Schematics In Palworld

In order to use a schematic you simply need to have it in your inventory. Once you do, interact with an appropriate workbench and you’ll find the item from the schematic alongside all the other craftable items you normally have access to. Unfortunately, there’s no way to permanently unlock these items, and having the schematic in a chest inside your base won’t work either, so having it in your inventory is mandatory.
Most of the items you can craft from schematics are upgraded versions of existing items, though there are also some unique ones. These items, as well as the schematics associated with them, come in several tiers of rarity ranging from Common to the aforementioned Legendary. All schematics aside from Common ones require Ancient Civilization Parts along with a host of other components to craft. Rarer schematics allow you to craft more powerful items, but they also require a ton more resources.
