Water Pals are some of the most useful creatures in Palworld, with their Water abilities supporting everything from base production to powerful combat attacks.
If you have a strong Water Pal that you want to take into the endgame, Awakening can push its performance even further with a permanent stat increase.
Water Radiant Gems are the key material for this upgrade, making them worth collecting whenever you are preparing a Water Pal for its final build.
Where To Get Water Radiant Gem?
Water Radiant Gems can be obtained by defeating Water Pals throughout the World Tree, making these Pals your main targets when farming the material.
They can also be obtained through other World Tree activities, including Expeditions, fishing, treasure rewards, and the Ancient Relic Recycler.
This gives you several ways to build your supply, allowing you to collect gems while exploring the World Tree instead of relying entirely on Pal drops.
World Tree Water Pals
Pals that are supposed to drop Water Radiant Gem include the following in this list but due to current bugs, these are not accurate until future updates fix them.
- Gloopie Primo – Water/Neutral – (BUGGED: Drops Dark Radiant Gem) – Fishing
- Skutlass Ignis – Water/Fire – (BUGGED: Drops Ice Radiant Gem) – Fishing
- Solmora Lux – Water/Electric – (BUGGED: Drops Electric Radiant Gem)
- Faleris Aqua – Water – (BUGGED: Drops Electric Radiant Gem)
- Shaolong – Dragon/Water – (BUGGED: Drops Electric Radiant Gem)
Drops are currently bugged as most Pals are not dropping the correct Radiant Gems.
Other Ways To Get Water Radiant Gems
World Tree Expeditions can provide Water Radiant Gems as rewards, giving you a passive way to build your supply while your Pals handle other work.
Fishing in the World Tree can also reward Water Radiant Gems, making it worth checking your catches when actively looking for more of the material.
Ancient Relics can be processed through the Ancient Relic Recycler for a chance to obtain Water Radiant Gems, giving those relics another useful purpose.
World Tree treasure chests can also contain Water Radiant Gems, so opening chests during exploration can occasionally add to your supply.
Water Radiant Gem Uses
Water Radiant Gems are primarily used to craft Water Awakening Crystals, which can be used to permanently strengthen compatible Water Pals.
Each Water Awakening Crystal requires 50 Water Radiant Gems and 10 World Tree Holy Water, making these gems an important material when preparing a Water Pal for Awakening.
Once used, the crystal increases the Pal’s Health, Attack, and Defense, while also giving it the distinctive golden aura associated with Awakening.
Verdict
Water Radiant Gems are still worth collecting if you are preparing a strong Water Pal for Awakening and endgame combat.
With the current World Tree Water Pal drops being bugged, relying on the other available methods is the safer way to build your supply.
Fishing, Expeditions, treasure chests, and the Ancient Relic Recycler can keep your stock growing until the Pal drop issues are fixed.
