How do I awaken a Pal in Palworld?

Craft the matching element's Awakening Crystal at the Ancient Workbench (technology level 67), put the Pal in your active party, and use the crystal on it from your inventory. Each crystal takes 50 element-matched Radiant Gems plus 10 World Tree Holy Water (community-documented).

Where do Radiant Gems come from?

They drop from Pals in the World Tree region, matched to the Pal's own element — defeating and catching both count, and World Tree Holy Water comes from the same loop.

Which Pals should I farm for a specific gem?

Any World Tree wild of that element. This planner lists them straight from the 1.0 spawn data, with levels, so you can pick targets your team can handle.

Awakening planner

Awakening pushes a Pal past its old limits — at a price: each Awakening Crystal takes a pile of element-matched Radiant Gems from the World Tree. Tell the planner how many crystals you want per element, and it totals the bill and lists the World Tree Pals to farm — straight from the 1.0 spawn data.

Before you can awaken anything: clear every tower boss (Palpagos, Feybreak, Sunreach), finish the Panthalus questline, and open the World Tree. Crystals are crafted at the Ancient Workbench (tech level 67) — 50 gems + 10 World Tree Holy Water per crystal (community-documented; the craft lives in its own workbench menu). The full system is covered in our Awakening & Radiant Gems guide.
