Some headgear in Palworld is built for surviving dangerous encounters, while others are much more useful when you are settled at your base and working through your latest projects.
The Graduation Cap fits neatly into the latter category, giving your character a useful Work Speed bonus while you are crafting items and putting together new structures around your base.
It is a handy piece to keep available for those longer work sessions, especially when you have a pile of crafting and construction tasks waiting to be finished.
Where To Get Graduation Cap?
The Graduate Cap Schematic 1 is sold by the Green Shirt Wandering Merchant at Fisherman’s Point for 500 Gold, unlocking the recipe for the Common Graduation Cap.
Once you purchase the schematic, you can craft the cap at a suitable crafting station whenever you have gathered enough materials to make another one.
The Common Graduation Cap is crafted using the following:
- 20 Cloth
- 10 Fiber
Graduation Cap Effects
The Graduation Cap’s main benefit is Speedy Worker Lv. 1, which increases your Work Speed while you have the cap equipped and makes it particularly suited to tasks performed around your base.
Its defensive values still apply normally, but they are less important here because the cap’s main purpose is helping you get through crafting and construction work more efficiently.
- 30 Defense
- 80 Health
- 300 Durability
- Speedy Worker Lv. 1
Graduation Cap Uses
The cap is most useful when you are spending time at your base crafting equipment, processing materials, or working through construction projects that would otherwise keep you occupied for longer.
Equip it before starting a large batch of work so you can take advantage of the increased Work Speed throughout the tasks you are personally handling around your base.
When you finish your work and prepare to head back into the world, you can simply change back to the headgear you normally rely on for exploration and combat.
How To Equip Graduation Cap?
Open your inventory after crafting the Graduation Cap and place it in the Head Armor Slot to equip it and activate its equipment bonuses while you remain at your base.
The Speedy Worker effect works automatically once the cap is equipped, so there is no separate ability, button, or additional setup required to receive the bonus.
When your crafting or building session is finished, remove the cap and replace it with your preferred headgear before heading out to explore or fight.
Verdict
The Graduation Cap has a straightforward role in a Palworld loadout, making it a useful option whenever you are staying at your base and focusing on work rather than combat.
Speedy Worker Lv. 1 is the feature that makes it worth keeping around, particularly for players who regularly handle their own crafting and construction tasks.
The 500 Gold schematic and inexpensive materials make it easy to obtain, so there is little reason not to keep one available for your next long session at the base.
