Wanted Status in Palworld

In the expansive world of Palworld server hosting, players can engage in various activities, from building and crafting to capturing and battling alongside creatures known as "Pals." However, certain actions can lead to a "Wanted" status, marking the player as a criminal and attracting the attention of the Palpagos Island Defense Force (PIDF). Understanding how to manage and remove this status is crucial for a seamless gaming experience.

What Triggers the Wanted Status?

The Wanted status is activated when players commit specific unlawful actions within the game. These actions include:

• Assaulting NPCs or Pals – Attacking or killing non-player characters or Pals without provocation is considered a criminal act.

• Trespassing – Entering restricted areas, such as Wildlife Sanctuaries, without permission can result in a Wanted status. The game notifies players with a "Criminal activity underway..." message upon unauthorized entry.

• Attempted Human Capture – Trying to catch human characters using Pal Spheres is deemed illegal and will trigger the Wanted status.

Consequences of Being Wanted

Once marked as Wanted, the PIDF will actively pursue the player, attacking on sight. The intensity of the pursuit correlates with the severity of the crime, leading to relentless chases that can disrupt gameplay.

Methods to Remove the Wanted Status

Players have several strategies to eliminate the Wanted status:

1. Surrender (Death)

Allowing the PIDF to defeat you is the simplest method. Upon respawning, the Wanted status is cleared. However, players will need to retrieve their dropped items, which are marked by a visible beam and map icon.

2. Evade and Hide

Escaping the PIDF and staying out of their sight for a certain period will lead to them abandoning the chase, thus removing the Wanted status. Effective hiding spots include large bones or crevices where the PIDF cannot reach.

3. Eliminate Witnesses

If no witnesses remain to report the crime, the Wanted status can be avoided or removed. This requires swiftly and discreetly neutralizing any observers before the PIDF is alerted.

4. Combat the PIDF

Players equipped with high-level gear and powerful Pals can choose to confront and defeat the PIDF forces. Successfully doing so will clear the Wanted status, but this approach is risky and not recommended for the unprepared.

5. Exit and Reload

Exiting to the main menu and reloading the game can instantly remove the Wanted status without further consequences. This method is quick but may break immersion.

Preventive Measures

To avoid acquiring a Wanted status:

• Exercise Caution – Avoid attacking friendly NPCs or Pals unless necessary.
• Heed Warnings – Pay attention to in-game notifications about restricted areas to prevent accidental trespassing.
• Aim Carefully – Be cautious when using weapons like the Three Shot Bow to prevent accidental hits on non-hostile characters.
