Palworld 1.0.3 Guide: Best Holy Water Farms, Jetragon Level Change, Oil Buffs and Key Bug Fixes
Palworld 1.0.3 is a farming patch. The headline is simple: Holy Water is easier to get, easier to carry, and worth farming passively now.

For endgame players, this changes daily routing. For fresh saves, the patch also makes Jetragon, water bases, fiber, and oil production less painful.

- Summary

↖ Palworld 1.0.3 Biggest Changes
| System | Patch 1.0.3 Change | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Jetragon Saddle | Unlock level reduced from 79 to 70 | You can use Jetragon properly when you reach its spawn tier |
| Aquatic Construction Kit | Unlock level reduced from 66 to 23 | Water bases are now early-mid game viable |
| World Tree Holy Water | Longer buff, lower weight, more sources | Endgame farming is much smoother |
| World Tree Expeditions | Now reward Holy Water | Passive Holy Water farming is viable |
| Large Fishing Pond | Can generate Holy Water | Better passive base value |
| Oil Extractors | Cheaper and faster | Less grind for oil setups |
| Moon Lord Rewards | Updated loot table | Better Training Crystal farm |
The patch is not huge by count. It is huge by impact.
↖ Jetragon Saddle Now Unlocks at Level 70
The Jetragon saddle / missile launcher now unlocks at level 70, down from level 79.
That is the correct level range. Jetragon itself becomes relevant around this point, so the saddle no longer feels weirdly delayed.
| Before | After | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Saddle at 79 | Saddle at 70 | Jetragon becomes usable much earlier |
If you hit level 70, prioritize the saddle. Jetragon is still one of the best mounts for map movement, combat mobility, and late-game routing.
↖ Aquatic Construction Kit Moved to Level 23
The Aquatic Construction Kit now unlocks at level 23, instead of 66.
That is a massive builder buff.
| Item | Old Level | New Level |
|---|---|---|
| Aquatic Construction Kit | 66 | 23 |
This means floating foundations and proper water bases are no longer late-game toys.
If you want safer bases, cleaner layouts, or water-based builds, start planning them in midgame instead of waiting until the endgame grind.
↖ Best Holy Water Farming in Palworld 1.0.3
Holy Water is the real winner of this patch.
Main buffs:
- Buff duration increased
- Weight reduced from 1 to 0.1
- Added to World Tree Expedition rewards
- Added to World Tree fishing
- Added to Large Fishing Pond rewards
- Higher value from World Tree Pal farming
- Teafant Springs now give 30 Holy Water
The weight change alone is big. You can now carry 10 times more Holy Water for the same inventory load.
| Holy Water Change | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 1 | 0.1 |
| Teafant Spring reward | Lower | 30 each |
| Expedition reward | No Holy Water | Holy Water added |
↖ Fastest Holy Water Farm: Kill World Tree Pals
If you need Holy Water fast, farm World Tree Pals.
This is still the best active method. Patch 1.0.3 made it stronger.
↖ Recommended Holy Water Farming Team
| Slot | Pal / Role | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Astegon or Jetragon | Clears packs fast |
| Support | Menasting | Drop support |
| Support | Menasting | More drop value |
| Support | Vaelet | Drop support |
| Utility | Maraith | Cooldown reset on kill |
Use wide-area attacks like Meteor Rain. The goal is simple: delete packs before they scatter.
↖ Tested Holy Water Drops
| Enemy Pack | Holy Water Gained |
|---|---|
| 4 Snoketerra | 20 Holy Water |
| 3 Snoketerra | 10 Holy Water |
With a good drop setup, this can scale into thousands of Holy Water per hour.
Also note: Snokelux was renamed to Snoketerra. Same target, better name.
↖ Best Passive Holy Water Farm: World Tree Expeditions
World Tree Expeditions now reward Holy Water.
There are two versions:
- Normal World Tree Expedition
- Hard World Tree Expedition
Hard takes longer, but gives more Holy Water if your expedition power is high enough.
| Expedition | Example Reward % | Holy Water Gained | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 1,348% | 162 | Balanced passive farm |
| Hard | 1,348% | 432 | Best passive Holy Water rate |
Hard mode takes about twice as long, but the reward can be more than double.
Run Hard if you can maintain strong reward percentage.
Run Normal if Hard gives poor returns.
↖ Expedition Side Rewards
| Expedition | Extra Rewards |
|---|---|
| Normal | Ancient Civilization Cores, Mammorest Meat, Giant Pal Souls |
| Hard | Dog Coins, Ancient Civilization Cores, Ancient Civilization Parts |
This is why expeditions are now worth scheduling. You are not only farming Holy Water. You are also stacking endgame materials in the background.
↖ Large Fishing Pond Is Finally Worth Using
The Large Fishing Pond can now generate Holy Water.
The rate is not crazy, but it is passive. That matters.
| Test | Large Fish Silhouettes | Holy Water Gained |
|---|---|---|
| Run 1 | 10 | 10 |
| Run 2 | 10 | 41 |
Not amazing. Still useful.
Why? Because it does not compete with expeditions. Your base can fish while your expedition team runs and you farm elsewhere.
↖ Large Fishing Pond Bonus Materials
| Resource | Value |
|---|---|
| Holy Water | Passive World Tree support |
| Ancient Civilization Cores | Advanced crafting |
| Corallium | Annoying resource made easier |
| Fish materials | Extra recipe support |
If you have base space, build it. If your base is cramped, expeditions and active farming matter more.
↖ World Tree Fishing Now Gives Holy Water
Fishing in the World Tree zone can now reward Holy Water.
With a fishing setup using Jormuntide, shiny glow fish tested between:
| Fishing Target | Holy Water Range |
|---|---|
| Shiny Glow Fish | 25–100 Holy Water |
This is not the fastest farm. But if you are already fishing in the zone, the added Holy Water makes the route much better.
↖ Teafant Springs Now Give 30 Holy Water
World Tree Teafant Spring interactables now give 30 Holy Water each.
That is worth grabbing.
If your route passes near one, click it. No debate.
| Source | Holy Water Reward |
|---|---|
| Teafant Spring | 30 |
This is free value during active World Tree farming.
↖ Oil Extraction Buffs and Cheaper Power Setup
Oil farming got easier.
Both oil extractors are now:
- Cheaper to build
- Faster at extracting oil
The Large Power Generator also costs less to build.
| Structure | Patch Change | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Crude Oil Extractor | Lower cost, faster output | Easier first oil setup |
| High Pressure Oil Extractor | Lower cost, faster output | Better endgame oil flow |
| Large Power Generator | Lower cost | Easier power scaling |
Oil is still a bottleneck. It is just less miserable now.
The base upgrade mission was also fixed. Both oil extractor types now count toward the mission.
↖ Ancient Armor and Fiber Changes
Two smaller changes matter during progression.
| Item / System | Change | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Ancient Armor Series | Lower crafting workload | Same materials, less crafting time |
| Fiber from Trees | Doubled | Better early-game crafting flow |
The armor change does not reduce material cost. It reduces the work time.
The fiber buff helps most on fresh saves. Early crafting feels less starved.
↖ Moon Lord Rewards Are Better for Training Crystals
Moon Lord and Ultra Moon Lord rewards were updated for 1.0.
Ultra Moon Lord is now a strong farm for Training Crystals.
| Ultra Moon Lord Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ancient Civilization Cores | 10 |
| Training Crystals | 10 |
| Applied Handbooks | 2 |
| Moon Lord Mask | Guaranteed |
The tradeoff: Moon Lord no longer drops some old rewards, including Stat Fruits.
| Old Value | New Value |
|---|---|
| Stat Fruit farming | Training Crystal farming |
If you need Training Crystals, farm Ultra Moon Lord.
If you need Stat Fruits, use another route.
↖ Sphere Launcher Spam Got Nerfed
Sphere Launchers now have a forced delay between shots.
Before, players could spam low-tier spheres at high-tier Pals and brute-force bad catch odds.
That strategy is mostly dead.
| Before Patch | After Patch |
|---|---|
| Rapid sphere spam | Forced firing delay |
| Low-tier cheese worked | Much weaker |
If you relied on Scatter Launcher spam, switch back to proper sphere tiers and capture setups.
↖ Important Palworld 1.0.3 Bug Notes
Some bugs were fixed. Some are still around.
↖ Orserk Buff Was Mostly Visual
On official servers, Orserk's buff icon could fail to show.
The stats were still applying. The patch improves the display.
| Issue | Reality | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Missing Orserk icon | Buff still worked | Display improved |
Do not rebuild your Orserk setup. It was not secretly broken.
↖ Elphidran Serpent Leather Fixed
Elphidran Serpent now properly produces leather.
| Pal | Bug | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Elphidran Serpent | Leather production issue | Fixed |
↖ Immortality Passive Text Is Wrong
The Immortality passive tooltip is misleading.
It says it absorbs 100% damage and restores health. That is not the real effect.
| Passive | Tooltip Says | Actual Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Immortality | 100% damage absorb/heal | 5% lifesteal |
Do not chase builds around the tooltip. The effect did not change.
↖ Ancient Material Synthesizer Can Still Break
Changing the Ancient Material Synthesizer output can tank its work speed.
Best fix:
1. Destroy the station.
2. Rebuild it.
3. Select the new material fresh.
| Action | Risk |
|---|---|
| Swap output directly | Work speed may break |
| Rebuild station | Safest method |
Annoying, but reliable.
↖ Dedicated Server Accessory Bug May Still Exist
On dedicated or official servers, changing party Pals may disable accessory effects.
Temporary fix:
1. Change party.
2. Unequip accessories.
3. Re-equip accessories.
| Trigger | Problem | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Move Pal in/out of party | Accessories may stop applying | Re-equip accessories |
If your stats feel off after party changes, check accessories first.
↖ Best Post-Patch Farming Route
Use this loop if you are in endgame.
| Step | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Start Hard World Tree Expedition | Passive Holy Water and Dog Coins |
| 2 | Run Large Fishing Pond | Passive Holy Water, cores, Corallium |
| 3 | Farm World Tree Pals | Fast Holy Water |
| 4 | Grab Teafant Springs | Free 30 Holy Water each |
| 5 | Farm Ultra Moon Lord | Training Crystals and cores |
| 6 | Re-equip accessories after party swaps | Avoid server bug |
This is the cleanest post-1.0.3 routine.
Active farm gives speed.
Expeditions give passive value.
Fishing pond gives background resources.
Moon Lord covers Training Crystals.
↖ FAQ
↖ What is the best Holy Water farm in Palworld 1.0.3?
The best active farm is killing World Tree Pals with a drop-focused team. Use Astegon or Jetragon for wide-area damage, then stack support Pals like Menasting, Vaelet, and Maraith.
↖ Are World Tree Expeditions worth it now?
Yes. They now give Holy Water plus strong side rewards. Run Hard World Tree Expedition if your reward percentage is high. Run Normal if Hard mode gives weak returns.
↖ Is the Large Fishing Pond worth building after Patch 1.0.3?
Yes, if you have space. The Holy Water rate is not huge, but it is passive and can also produce Ancient Civilization Cores and Corallium.
↖ Did Jetragon get buffed in Palworld 1.0.3?
Jetragon itself was not directly buffed, but its saddle unlock was reduced from level 79 to level 70. That makes it much easier to use at the right progression point.
↖ Did Moon Lord still drop Stat Fruits?
No. Moon Lord's rewards changed. Ultra Moon Lord is now better for Training Crystals, Ancient Civilization Cores, Applied Handbooks, and the guaranteed Moon Lord Mask.
↖ Summary
Palworld 1.0.3 is mainly a Holy Water and farming efficiency patch.
The strongest changes:
- Holy Water weight reduced to 0.1
- World Tree Expeditions now reward Holy Water
- Teafant Springs give 30 Holy Water
- Large Fishing Pond has real endgame value
- Jetragon saddle unlock lowered to level 70
- Oil extractors are cheaper and faster
- Ultra Moon Lord is now a Training Crystal farm
Best play: run Hard World Tree Expeditions, keep a Large Fishing Pond active, farm World Tree Pals when playing actively, and use Ultra Moon Lord for Training Crystals.
