Sootseer
Step one

One of the most common Pals in the game

Sootseer has 649 mapped points across 14 spawner groups, and on the best of them it is half the table. The three pins are the densest clusters: one on Feybreak and two on Sakurajima. Its 10 sanctuary points are a rounding error next to those.

The route
1Fly to Sakurajima at [-674, 149]The southern sandbar sits beside the group where Sootseer takes half of every roll. The Feybreak clusters are larger but the level band there runs to 67, so start on Sakurajima.124 points, Lv 45 upward
2Ignore the advice about waiting for nightSootseer is flagged nocturnal in the Paldeck, which leads some to wait for dark. Night only is false on every one of its spawn points, in both regions it appears in.nightOnly false on all spawns
3Bring Dragon or Water damageSootseer is Dark and Fire, so it takes extra from Dragon on the Dark half and Water on the Fire half. Either works, and Dragon is the safer pick because it also covers the Sakurajima Dark Pals around it.Dark and Fire, weak to Dragon and Water
4Throw Giga Spheres and keep the party passiveGiga tier covers the level 45 band. Because Sootseer spawns so densely you can afford to be patient, so weaken one properly rather than throwing early and burning spheres.Overkill loses the catch
5Put it on a Ranch, not just a work benchGrave Robber makes Sootseer dig up Bone when it is assigned to a Ranch, which is the cheapest steady Bone supply in the game. Its five work suitabilities are a bonus on top.Digs up Bone on a Ranch

DungeonWorth a detour
An alpha in the Cherry Blossom Cave

The Sakurajima cave boss room can field a Sootseer at levels 51 to 52, flagged alpha. Its table holds 31 entries at equal weight and 15 of the 170 mapped portals lead there, so treat it as a bonus on a cave run.

Egg hatchGood odds
Large Dark Egg, two different pools

Sootseer is over half of the Sakurajima pool on the Large Dark Egg, which carries 6 outcomes, and it also appears in the sky island pool of 7. Those are separate lotteries, so do not add the two numbers together.

Camp squadBy accident
A Fire Cult and a Ninja camp field one each

Two enemy camp squads carry a single Sootseer between them, one Fire Cult and one Ninja. Neither encounter has a recorded level, so this is something that happens during a raid rather than a plan.

BreedingOnly for passives
326 pairs, and none of them are worth it

The cheapest pair is Ghangler with Relaxaurus at about level 30, 15 levels under the wild band. That gap is real and it still loses, because you would be building a farm and baking a Cake to obtain a Pal that is half of one spawn table.

◆The nocturnal flag and the spawn points disagree, and the page follows the spawn points. Sootseer is marked nocturnal in the Paldeck, but night only is false on every spawn summary it has, so waiting for dark buys you nothing.
◆Ten of its 649 points sit inside the volcano sanctuary at levels 45 to 48. That is a restricted zone with guards, and 10 points out of 649, so it is a fact rather than a destination.
◆The Feybreak clusters are bigger than the Sakurajima ones but their band runs to level 67. If you are hunting at 45, the Sakurajima sandbar is the better ground even though it has fewer points.
Why bother
Sootseer is the Bone farm. Its partner skill, Grave Robber, digs up Bone when it is assigned to a Ranch and cuts incoming Neutral damage to your party by 15 percent. It also drops a Medium Pal Soul and Bone at 100 percent on defeat, and works five different jobs at base.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you find Sootseer in Palworld 1.0?

All over Sakurajima and Feybreak. There are 649 mapped points across 14 spawner groups at levels 45 to 67, with the densest Sakurajima cluster at [-674, 149].

Does Sootseer only spawn at night?

No, despite the nocturnal flag in its Paldeck entry. Night only is false on every one of its spawn summaries, so it appears during the day as well.

Why do I keep seeing Sootseer everywhere?

Because it is genuinely half of one spawn table. On its best group it holds 100 of 198 selection weight, 50.51 percent over 59 points, and four more of its groups run near 40 percent.

What is Sootseer weak to?

Dragon and Water. It is Dark and Fire, so Dragon punishes the Dark half and Water the Fire half. Dragon is the better single answer if you are also fighting other Sakurajima Dark Pals.

What does Sootseer produce on a Ranch?

Bone. Grave Robber makes it dig up Bone when assigned to a Ranch, which is the steadiest Bone supply available, and the same skill cuts Neutral damage to your party by 15 percent.
