This Polygon guide explains how players can locate and farm pure quartz, a resource needed in Palworld to craft circuit boards used for higher-tier assembly lines and electric goods. The item can eventually be harvested automatically once players reach level 52 and unlock a placeable mining site, but that structure itself requires 100 pure quartz to build, so players must first gather the mineral manually from the game world.

Pure quartz appears as dark, glass-spiked rocks found in the snowy mountains of Palworld's northern island, and is easiest to spot at night when its colour stands out. It can be mined with any pickaxe, though a metal pickaxe speeds up the process, and the guide lists four specific coordinate locations packed with multiple pure quartz nodes to help players farm it efficiently.
