They say the best defense is a good offense, but sometimes you really just want a shield. To make one inPalworld, you’ll need to farm Ancient Civilization Parts — which once went by Paldium Crystals.
The best approach is to gather Ancient Civilization Parts dropped by defeated Alpha Pals inPalworld. Normally, that covers not only dungeon bosses, but overworld bosses wandering around in the world.Some chestsalso contain the parts, but let’s stick to the tried-and-true method.
Farm for Ancient Civilization Parts by visiting dungeons inPalworld
The easiest way to farm for Ancient Civilization Parts early inPalworldis to replay the nearby dungeons. On the first island you spawn at, you can find a good dozen or so dungeons at around level 13. There are also overworld bosses, or Alphas, like the level 11 Chillet, that make for quick prey. However, the dungeons are the way to go.
My suggestion is to tame a swiftPal mountand rush through the dungeons seeking out the boss. A great Pal to do this with is the Direhowl, which naturally moves faster than other mounts. Bosses are random, and you could get lucky with something like thisfreakishly adorablelevel 10 Lamball boss:
Defeating it can be quick, and doing so will earn you items such as the rare-ranked Ancient Civilization Parts.
What to create with the parts
Ancient Civilization Parts are necessary in the creation of not only rechargeable shields but also for items found under theAncient Technology sectionin the game’s tech tree.

Are Paldium Crystals and Ancient Civilization Parts the same inPalworld?
Following the0.1.1.0 patchon Xbox and PC Game Pass, the name of Paldium Crystals changed to Ancient Civilization Parts inPalworld. The material also went from Uncommon to Rare, though the image seems to be the same.
If you’re confused, welcome to the club. This is one of the changes you should expect to see more of as the Steam and Xbox/PC Game Pass versions becomecloser in parity.
