Palworld's expansive Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. This guide details how to obtain and utilize these crucial components for crafting high-tier equipment.

Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. Unlike other crafting materials, they are obtained by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Focus your efforts inland, as coastal Pals are less likely to yield these fragments. Note that some Dark-elemental Pals, such as Starryon, are nocturnal, appearing only at night. Using Ultimate or Exotic Pal Spheres is recommended for capture.
Each Dark-elemental Pal has a variable drop rate (1-3 fragments), so capturing or defeating multiple Pals is key. While not a reliable method, you might occasionally find single Dark Fragments scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is highly encouraged.
Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals and their Dark Fragment drop rates:
| Pal Name | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Starryon | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Omascul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Splatterina | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
| Dazzi Noct | 1 Dark Fragment |
| Kitsun Noct | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Starryon (Boss Variant) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Starryon (Predator) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Omascul (Boss Variant) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Splatterina (Boss Variant) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
| Dazzi Noct (Boss Variant) | 1 Dark Fragment |
| Kitsun Noct (Boss Variant) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Omascul (Predator) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Splatterina (Predator) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |

Dark Fragments are a relatively rare crafting material, used primarily for high-level equipment. You'll need the correct schematic unlocked in your Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points, and the necessary machines built before crafting.
Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments:
| Crafted Item | Unlock Method |
|---|---|
| Homing Module | Level 57 in Technology Menu (5 Technology Points) |
| Triple Jump Boots | Level 58 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Points, requires Feybreak Tower Boss defeat) |
