The World Tree is more than a new place to explore, with several resources here tied directly to the game’s highest-level crafting and progression.
Some materials can only be gathered safely by understanding the strange behavior of the resources themselves, while others reward you for exploring and defeating Pals.
Knowing what to look for makes each trip much more worthwhile, especially when Paloxite, Mythical Wood, Radiant Gems, and Ancient Relics all serve different purposes.
All World Tree Resources
1) Paloxite
Paloxite is one of the first resources you will want to secure at the World Tree, especially once your crafting starts moving into its endgame requirements.
The ore appears in resource nodes around the region, but approaching one carelessly causes it to vanish before you can even start mining.
Use World Tree Holy Water or a Pal with a suitable World Tree passive to keep the node in place, then mine it normally once the protection is active.
2) Mythical Wood
The World Tree’s strange vegetation hides another material that cannot be treated like ordinary wood, making these trees worth seeking out during your exploration.
Mythical Wood trees are affected by the same disappearing behavior as Paloxite, so simply walking up to one without the right protection can leave you with nothing.
Consume World Tree Holy Water or use a suitable World Tree passive before approaching, then chop the protected trees to gather the Mythical Wood.
3) World Tree Holy Water
World Tree Holy Water is particularly valuable because it is not just another crafting ingredient sitting in your inventory waiting for a recipe.
It is one of the tools that lets you safely harvest the World Tree’s most important resources, while also being needed for several high-level crafting recipes.
Teafant Springs and World Tree Pals are sources for Holy Water, while World Tree Expeditions, World Tree Fishing, and the Large Fishing Pond also provide it.
4) Radiant Gems
Radiant Gems give exploration around the World Tree another purpose, since the rewards are divided into different elemental types rather than being one generic resource.
There are nine varieties covering Fire, Water, Electric, Ground, Grass, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Neutral, so you can gradually build up different types as you explore.
Elemental-sealed chests and other World Tree sources provide the gems, which are then used to create Awakening Crystals for permanently improving your Pals.

5) Ancient Relics
Ancient Relics are one of the more interesting resources to collect because you can build up a supply simply by interacting with the things you encounter throughout the World Tree.
Defeating Pals can reward Ancient Relics, while treasure chests, fishing, and World Tree Expeditions provide additional ways to collect them during exploration.
Instead of leaving them unused, take your relics to the Ancient Relic Recycler, where they can be converted into useful materials including Paloxite, Mythical Wood, and Radiant Gems.

World Tree Resource Gathering Tips
The most important preparation is making sure you have a reliable way to protect Paloxite and Mythical Wood before approaching their resource nodes.
Holy Water is the straightforward option, while a suitable World Tree passive can let you gather without depending entirely on your consumable supply.
Do not limit your trips to ore and wood either, since defeating Pals, opening chests, fishing, and checking Expeditions can build up several different World Tree resources at the same time.
Verdict
The World Tree works best when you treat it as a complete resource loop rather than traveling there for one particular material.
You can gather Paloxite and Mythical Wood, stock up on Holy Water, collect elemental Gems, and turn Ancient Relics into additional materials as you explore.
Once you learn how to prevent resources from disappearing, every trip becomes much more productive and gives you several ways to push your endgame progression forward.
