Gobfin: Location, Breeding and Drops

Gobfin is catchable at level 14 on the ground at [-407, -139]. Its best odds are elsewhere: a 14 point strip on the volcano coast where only three Pals share the table and Gobfin takes 45 percent.

Step one

Every Gobfin spawn on the map

Four spawner tables on the main island, and they disagree about where to go. The pins are the three densest clusters. The best odds sit on a small volcano coast strip that is not one of them.

[-407, -139]
The route
1Start at [-407, -139] if you are under level 20The Isle of Silence shore is the only Gobfin ground below level 20, running 14 to 17 across 24 points. Gobfin is 10 of 95 weight on that table.Lv 14 to 17, one roll in 10
2Take the volcano coast strip for the best oddsA 14 point strip around [-382, -346] sits on a table shared by three Pals in total, and Gobfin holds 10 of its 22 weight. That is 45.5 percent, better than four times the grotto rate, at levels 22 to 26.45.5 percent, the best on the map
3Bring Electric damageGobfin is pure Water, so Electric is the element with the bonus. It is a weak fighter for its level, and a single Electric hit usually leaves it in catch range.Water, weak to Electric
4Throw Pal Spheres, not MegasRarity 2 and levels in the teens mean the basic sphere is enough at low health. Save the Megas for something that needs them.Rarity 2, the lowest tier works
5Put it on watering and handiworkWatering 2 and Handiwork 2 on the same Pal is the reason to keep one, and it also carries Transporting 1. Every catch gives 1 Aquatic Pal Fluids.Watering 2, Handiwork 2

4 alternatives checked against the wild catch route
Egg hatchGood backup
Damp Egg, best in the Bamboo Groves

The Bamboo Groves pool on the Damp Egg holds two outcomes and Gobfin is one of them, so half of those eggs hatch into this Pal. The Mount Obsidian common pool is three outcomes at 33.3 percent, and the Marsh and forest pool is four at 25 percent. Region matters more than egg size here.

BreedingLater
150 pairs, and none of them beat walking

Finsider with Herbil is the cheapest pair on paper at two level 1 parents, which is why a level-only comparison rates breeding higher than the catch. The Breeding Farm is technology level 19 and costs 2 Ancient Technology Points, so the route does not exist yet at the level Gobfin is already catchable. Breed one when you want passives.

No field boss anywhere

There is no field boss, raid tier, quest step, camp squad or fishing source for Gobfin. The only fixed-rank encounters are the Mountain Stream Grotto Boss and MidBoss slots, which field an alpha at levels 27 to 29.

Gobfin Ignis is a different Pal

Paldeck 55B is Fire, carries Kindling 2 where this one has Watering 2, and its wild ground starts at level 32 in the volcano. Catching it does not fill this slot, and a Gobfin is one of its two parents.

◆The area named after this Pal is not where it is most likely to appear. Gobfin's Turf mixes an open table at 24.9 percent with grotto spawns at 9.1 percent, while the unnamed 14 point volcano coast strip runs at 45.5 percent because only three Pals share that spawner.
◆Angry Shark is an activated skill on a 30 second cooldown, so the 10 percent Attack buff is the part that matters day to day. It applies while Gobfin is in the party, without pressing anything.
Why bother
Gobfin is a support catch rather than a fighter. Angry Shark raises your own Attack by 10 percent for as long as it is in the party, and firing it sends an Aqua Gun at your target with a 1.1x multiplier on a 30 second cooldown. On a base it is one of the few early Pals with Watering 2 and Handiwork 2 together.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you find Gobfin in Palworld 1.0?

On 126 mapped points on the main island. The earliest ground is the Isle of Silence shore at [-407, -139] from level 14, and the densest is the area the game calls Gobfin's Turf at [90, -182].

Where are the best Gobfin odds?

A 14 point strip on the volcano coast around [-382, -346], at levels 22 to 26. Only three Pals share that spawner and Gobfin holds 10 of its 22 weight, so it is roughly a 1 in 2 roll.

What is the lowest level Gobfin?

Level 14, on the Isle of Silence shore. Everything else starts at 20 or above, and the Mountain Stream Grotto alpha is fixed at 27 to 29.

Should I breed a Gobfin instead?

Only for passives. 150 pairs produce one and the cheapest uses two level 1 parents, but the Breeding Farm is a technology level 19 unlock, so a wild Gobfin at level 14 arrives first.

What is Gobfin good for?

The 10 percent player Attack buff from Angry Shark, which works while it sits in the party. On a base it is an early Pal with both Watering 2 and Handiwork 2.
