There are 17 in total: six legendary weapons and 11 legendary pieces of armour. And we're here to help you find them all. So let's take a closer look at the legendary schematics in Palworld.

How to get legendary schematics in Palworld explained

There are 17 Palworld legendary schematics in total, and you pick them all up by defeating Field Alpha Pal Bosses found on the world map.

There’s no guarantee that the 17 Alpha Pals will drop the legendary schematics, but they will respawn and you can try again.

It has been estimated that the legendary schematics drop rate from Alpha Bosses is around 2.5 per cent. You can increase your odds of them being dropped in the game’s World Settings, however.

Head into World Settings and you can speed up how long it takes for Pals to respawn (set the Daytime and Night Time Speed to five).

You can also make it easier to catch Pals by adjusting the Pal Capture Rate. The Pal Appearance Rate can also be altered, which will increase the number of Alpha Pals you can fight/catch.

Catching then butchering an Alpha Pal Boss (with the Meat Cleaver) will also double your chances of getting a legendary schematic.

You can also find legendary schematics in treasure chests – randomly on the world map or at the end of dungeons.

The best way to get all of the Palworld legendary schematics, though, is to pick them up as item drops from the Field Alpha Pal Bosses. These bosses always spawn in the same location, so you know where to go.
