To help you decide what\u2019s best for you, this article will explore the various difficulty settings Palworld offers.\u00a0 All world difficulty settings in Palworld and what they mean Upon loading up a new game and adjusting the world settings, you\u2019ll have the following difficulty modes to choose from: Casual: The easiest mode Normal: A medium experience Hard: Expect multiple difficult moments Custom: Set your own rules When to choose the Casual world difficulty setting in Palworld Palworld\u2019s Casual world preset is perfect for anyone new to survival games who doesn't want to get beaten down by the dangers of Palpagos Island. You can indulge in all the building and crafting you desire while capturing and sheltering Pals without facing too much of a challenge. You can catch Pals easily and gain more XP than the Normal or Hard modes.\u00a0 Resources are more easily obtainable and you can incubate eggs faster.\u00a0 Battling Pals and enemies is easier. You don\u2019t lose your resources or receive a penalty for dying.\u00a0 When to choose the Normal world difficulty setting in Palworld As a novice in survival games but a lover of challenge, I chose Palworld\u2019s Normal world preset\u2014and I haven\u2019t regretted it. Casual is relaxing and fun, but for me, survival games are all about overcoming the odds, and Normal mode offers a perfect balance of fun and difficulty.\u00a0 Catching Pals, finding resources, incubating eggs, and all other actions are slightly more difficult than in Casual mode.\u00a0 Upon dying, you\u2019ll drop your equipment and materials where you died, but you can return to the same spot to collect them after you respawn. When to choose the Hard difficulty setting in Palworld If you\u2019ve been playing survival games forever and love being challenged at the highest level, Palworld\u2019s Hard world mode should entice you. That said, be ready to face ferocious Pals and Palworld\u2019s most unforgiving threats.\u00a0 Pals are not only harder to catch, but also much more hostile. Resources are harder to find and incubating eggs takes much longer. You\u2019ll also gain less XP.\u00a0 Upon death, you\u2019ll drop everything, including Pals, where you died. Which world difficulty should you choose in Palworld? Palworld\u2019s Normal difficulty setting is probably the best point to start at, thanks to the balance it offers. I\u2019d steer clear of Hard mode at the start, because it\u2019s just too demoralizing to lose everything after grinding to collect all those items in the first place. If you\u2019re new to the genre, you can try the Casual mode, but you might find it a bit too monotonous after a while. If none of the difficulty presets suit you, I suggest going for the Custom world difficulty mode, where you can customize your experience according to your liking. If you\u2019re wondering what the best Custom world settings are for Palworld, check out our guide to help you make your choice.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Palworld_5-e1705690372704.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1101012"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1101098,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101012\/revisions\/1101098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1101044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1101012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1101012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1101012"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1101012"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1101012"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1101012"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1101012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
