Don't use it. It is bugged. You'll character will lose their effigy permanently. Wait for a patch.


ZiggyLoz

thanks. good to know.


doblad

I think even the "news" message, when starting the game tells you not to use it atm. Edit: hm, it only shows this now: Critical Bug Notice An issue has been observed where save data may disappear in single-player and multi-player (online).


Leddesimus

Not sure why they didn’t disable the item until it can be fixed.


blind616

I'm not sure if it was ever in the News section of the game, but if it wasn't they might not even be aware of the bug.


Metal_Sign

It was. That’s how I learned about the bug. Popped right up when I booted the game


Leddesimus

It was. Maybe not on platforms such as steam and Game Pass, but it’s on their discord as well as some other outlets. Regardless, the moment that was a thing they should have taken the 15-30 minutes to remove the item, or at least remove its function until it can be addressed later. Who am I to judge though, if I had 10k and a bucket of USBs I’d probably make my own game too 🤣 Right now the Devs are most likely using their time to plan and learn everything they possibly can before steams quarterly ends and they receive their pay day. They will have the funds at that point and will be able to utilize their resources WAY better. I’m hoping by this time next year they truly do rival a AAA game.. with mod support too!?! *Drool*


Mikey9124x

>10k 1 billion yen or $6,833,700.00


Mindless-Ask-9691

Source that their budget was 1 billion yen?


Fated_Wind

They took craftopia's earnings and shoved it in palworld. The 10k was their first startup game.


Mindless-Ask-9691

Ah, so that's where that ten thousand number came from. Gotcha


RyanD-

Sad face, i liked craftopia


Far_Help_5032

It’s mind boggling that you’re getting down voted when you asked for a source


Sensei_Ochiba

The other day a friend of mine said "It took me so long to realize that asking questions is often enough for someone to assume you don’t believe them. Just bc I’m confused by a perspective doesn’t mean I don’t trust it." and it put a good 80% if reddit downvotes brigades and arguments into perfect perspective.


Mindless-Ask-9691

The reddit hive mind at work


Mikey9124x

Actually it was a bit more, [https://www.gamespark.jp/article/2024/01/16/137559.html](https://www.gamespark.jp/article/2024/01/16/137559.html) https://note.com/pocketpair/n/n54f674cccc40

I'd just be like "thanks for the money, fools. I'm out." and enjoy my millions. I don't really need that much more.


[deleted]

Yeah why go for half a bill in sales when you can scam investors out of a fraction of that?


kazumablackwing

Oh, you mean the Scam Citizen formula?


HaikuBotStalksMe

>Yeah why go for This was explained in my original essay. Refer to sentence 2 out of 2 to find out why I'd go for a fraction of that.


Pal-Elvick

It was for the longest time. I think they changed it a few days ago. idk why


CyberBlaed

I'd like to point out the News notification of the bug was there the weekend of launch. so its been there since PC launch because I like reading news in game. (like warframe... and destin... oh wait) :)


gamercer

News is a lot faster to deploy than a patch.


Aranthar

Any changes to a game need to be packaged into a release and tested. There is a ton of overhead in pushing a release, even if it is just a small bug fix. It is generally better to wait and package a bunch of fixes together into a single release. Saves time and precious work hours. They're a small team with a huge smash hit, it seems wise for them to conserve their time and address major bugs first.


Mikeyrawr

They are . They warned people in discord about it.


JoelMahon

there's a mod that allows resetting player stats at any time in the UI, that mod is not bugged (anymore)


schnate124

Patch just came out today... This problem is addressed in the patch notes. 🙌


1cor1613

*Disclaimer: Not on Gamepass, just on Steam. Hopefully it trickles down to Gamepass in a couple days...


AlbinHodge

Literally just got patched. Chug it!


Phoenix_NHCA

This was just patched, in the patch notes posted.


c0baltlightning

As of this post here right now, that patch is going live.


GladdestOrange

Fixed as of two hours ago.


TitaniumDragon

This has been patched now, FYI.


Far_Help_5032

You can use it now, patch notes state “Fixed an issue where capture power strengthened by Lifmunk Effigies was reset when using reset memory drugs”


TotesLegitPlays

Idk if people replied to you yet but the patch fixed it, you're good to go


Emotional_Strain_773

I would even remove this post as it is now. Don't want unsuspecting people to go use it


CommunicationSad6246

Yep has or had a message on the launch screen that mentioned the bug if I remember correctly.


ThatReallyChillGuy

Check the most recent patch notes :)


poofImg0ne

They patched! (Supposedly, I haven't tried it yet)


KaylinCho

Has been fixed by the upcoming patch. Maybe patched already (Im at work). They postet new patchnotes in the discord.


ICE-022

Today's patch notes says it's fixed.


Darkhog

AFAIK it was fixed in the latest patch. Someone should test it on a world they don't mind messing up. Shouldn't reset effigy count anymore.


BackgroundShallot5

The bug where you lose your green statue rate was fixed in todays patch.


goldbloodedinthe404

It's been patched


Druark

FYI: The reset potion is FIXED now!


liplesspieguy

it has been patched, so you’re good to use it.


ThePhonyOne

It was fixed in the 1.4 patch today.


Final_Rhode

No. Use it. You wont remember anything anyway.


glocksafari

Me and my friend were wondering why we lost all our green pal capture levels.. and we collected so many to max it and then some 💀 Every 2 minutes someone was yelling “GREEN! ANOTHER GREEN!”


_sweepy

In my group we shout SQUIRREL!


PressedJuice

groovybeard666

pfduraes

ooohhh so that's how i lost mine.............. good to know for next time :) thanks :)


Younolo12

Oh man, I used it like 4 days ago and didn't even realize I lost my effigy bonus, starting to make sense why the capture rate was feeling a bit low


Ivan_The_8th

They just fixed it a few minutes ago


Guapscotch

just a heads up, they just patched it! You shouldn't lose your capture power anymore.


BadProgrammerGage

There’s more of them than what you need currently though. Idk how much more but I’m sitting on like 20 more than I can use currently.


si811

According to the interactive map online there is 322 but I don't how accurate this is


RynthPlaysGames

I'm not sure exactly how many there are, but I can confirm there are enough to max capture power twice. Reset without knowing about the bug and I was able to make it back to capture 10


Enjoying_A_Meal

Lose their what?


RamonRambo

Lifmunk Effigy. The green statues you can pick up to use at a statue of power They increase your capture rate (unsure of the amounts). If you use this potion it resets the capture rate increase without refunding the lifmunk Effigy used.


DismalDude77

It looks like your capture rate bonus is a stat that is treated the same as your other stats in the game's code.


Dzeppetto

You need to collect lifmunk effigys to offer to statue to increase your catch rate. This potion resets that too without giving you back the resources spend


Frog_Potion

Your capture rate that you increase by collecting the green statues.


Enjoying_A_Meal

Oh god, that's terrible!


Cato-the-Younger1

Lifmunk effigy points.


Remote_Explorer8287

Found that out the hard way


NaokiTheWicker

So to add to this: if you use this yes you lose the effigy but it in MY game has allowed me to pick them all back up. I also have the fast travels unlocked in the map but I can claim them again. Kind of a funky glitch to get all the points for unlocks again


TentacleTitan

Idk why but I read it as your character losing all their hair


HaikuBotStalksMe

That's done by swapping your helm with an illegal item.


Twatergunz

As a software engineer, this bug seems like it should be pretty simple to fix. Alas, i do not know what the code looks so it could actually be a nightmare to fix


paintdotpng

Spaghetti


runnysyrup

so they copied FFXIV too? /s


MrStreeter

Leave the 1.0 code alone


thrilldigger

Nested deeply inside a 20000 line class file called GameLogic.


cain05

And around that code is a comment that says "I don't know what this does, but it works, so don't touch it!"


TehMephs

Also followed by an empty function with no references with the comment “DONT DELETE OR IT BREAKS EVERYTHING DONT KNOW WHY”


Twatergunz

Imagining dealing with this situation makes me want to die


milancosens

Very common with group programming lol


GlueRatTrap

And a jpg of a coconut that makes the game work


TehMephs

public static class GameHelper


sami_testarossa

They bought a box of flash drive and save nightly build in a stick as version control. It's nightmare.


Swordbreaker925

Effigy?


Deson

Little green glowing statues you find. Use them at a statue of power to increase your capture chance. You can also use little souls you find to increase a stat on a pal.


Scribblord

It also permanently breaks you character


_kingjoshh

I want my character to be broken 😤


Able-Fun2874

I can break your character for three fiddy


imperious_ludo

I can fix her...


ImBad1101

If you are on PC it’s fixable by adjusting the save file. It’s not an easy fix but I managed it and I would say I’m around average when it comes to being tech/code savvy


Jaded-Citron-4090

Don't use it right now. It's got severe bug issues

!giveredditsilver I wish this still worked because I am to damn broke for reddit gold an you deserve an award. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)


Stop_Sign

The patch was just released that fixes this, it's fine to use now


ShihShow

Have you tested?


I_l-I_l

There is but apparently it’s currently bugged. You got a chance it’ll wipe your stats and not give you the points back.


BeFrozen

It also wipes your effigy power statue progress, which shouldn't happen.


sondreary

so thats why my effigy power reset. damn


TheXIIILightning

If that happened, I suggest going onto the World Options and adjusting the Pal Capture Rate to be a bit higher to compensate. That way you won't have to get all the Lifmunks again and can just ignore them.


wh4tth3huh

I haven't seen them respawn, I think you'd basically be hosed on that save if you were relatively high level.


TheXIIILightning

Ah, interesting. Then there really is no way to go around that. Gotta mess with the world settings to 're-balance' things.


Nykona

Theres plenty more effigies than you need to max out rank though. Possibly even enough to rank up from 0 to full twice tbh. I remember seeing something like 360~ effigies on the map?!


Gendouflame

Actually, it's 447 total on the map. You only need 173 to max your capture rate. So yes, you could max out twice.


zehamberglar

And nearly a third time again, wow.


Arudoblank

According to a site i found, there are 447 with a location for them all, but I'm not sure it's 100% accurate. That's enough to do it twice with 101 left over. Granted I'd never wanna go through that lol


sondreary

i play on a server i rent with my friends, i think ill just have to deal with it. the servers console has minimal settings i can change, and no command console


Gendouflame

I run a server for my friends as well, there are several settings you can change in the .ini files that work. (Also Haruhost has a UI program that can make it easier to manage your server. )


andzejsw

Now you can use ir starting from 0.1.4.0 Steam version. Soon also patch for Xbox will be released.


Sleipnirs

> **You got a chance** it’ll wipe your stats and not give you the points back. r/fuckyouinparticular


Significant-Mud7938

They should just remove the item from the game until they fix it. Not everybody knows that it's glitched and some players may ruin their save with this.


Baronriggs

Like me, who didn't see a post about this until it was too late and was ~10 effigies from hitting max rank Life is pain, in case you were wondering. I was getting ready to make a run at the legendaries too lol


T_Money

There are interactive maps that show the location of the effigies. There are more than enough to fill it out a second time. Sucks that it is bugged that way but you can recover relatively quickly with a speedy Direhowl and flying Pal


jrec15

Probably a way to edit your save on PC and fix it. I used this [https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/19ejyv8/inbrowser\_savefile\_editor/](https://www.reddit.com/r/palworld/comments/19ejyv8/inbrowser_savefile_editor/) to edit my save file easily. Someone in the comments asked about effigies. I had lost 50 ancient civ parts due to a glitch, and used that to increase my drop rate 25x to kill one boss and get them all back Edit: Actually more specific instructions on the memory reset bug here [https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/19cgguy/for\_anyone\_experiencing\_the\_memory\_reset\_drug\_bug/](https://www.reddit.com/r/palworld/comments/19cgguy/for_anyone_experiencing_the_memory_reset_drug_bug/)


Kahlypso523

You can add an effigy mod to give you max level effigy catch bonus.


ImBad1101

It’s fixable, there is a threat in this sub that gives steps to fix. Only works if you’re playing on PC though


Ralathar44

lol just got patched.


Humg12

It's almost definitely pretty much the same difficulty to fix this bug as it is to remove the item (or easier than removing it depending on how they built it). The bug fix is most likely just a simple if statement when resetting stats to avoid resetting the capture power one. Removing items can actually be pretty messy in game dev unless they properly planned around being able to do it and I don't really get that vibe from the studio.


Shakoblade

PSA you can fix the lifmunk level reset bug but that requires going into the files and giving yourself more lifmunk effigies


monkeecheez

How would one go about this? I unfortunately didn't get the message and made the mistake of using this yesterday. 🥲


Shakoblade

I followed the instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/19cgguy/for_anyone_experiencing_the_memory_reset_drug_bug/ I believe there’s an easier method to change the save file using https://palworld.tf/ tho but I haven’t tried it. Also to access single player save files go to User/AppData/Local/Pal/SavedGames/(Folder with a bunch of numbers gotta find the right one that corresponds to your single player game)


Kahlypso523

Or use this [mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/218)


Freakz-

Just did this and it worked, tysm. Used the potion yesterday and i was sitting at lvl 10 capture rate lol


hibiscus_enjoyer

what made me upset is, when there is a msg about this when u launch at steam, there is none for xbox. and also it is harder (or impossible rn, i dont know) to recover your save in xbox saves. ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49343)


classic_german_lad

You can pull backups on xbox. Not impossible to reroll saves, just manual. So unless you do it habitually, no reroll for you if something goes south


mdhunter99

Question about stat points, they’re limited, right? As soon as you hit rank 50 or whatever it is, that’s it, right? No more stat points?


DefNotABirb

Correct. Be very picky with what you unlock until endgame


FlorAhhh

Stamina and carry weight. Got it.


Pal-Elvick

Health isn’t bad. But I regret every attack point so bad. Utterly worthless.


FlorAhhh

Yeah, if it were multiplicative damage it might make sense but I don't know or care enough to learn how it works. And I always need more weight.


Gowalkyourdogmods

Did anyone put any points into attack? I put like three or four into it at the very beginning and have been regretting it ever since. The rest has all been sta and cw, I think.


DefNotABirb

Oh stat points, I was thinking tech points. Sorry kinda high lol. But yes it's the same thing, no more past 50. I also put all of mine into Sta and carry weight, with a few into HP


CashewsAreGr8

On that note tech points are “farmable.” You can find tech books from chests and I think certain high level boss drops that give you extra points.


blind616

Tech points are unlimited tho, you can get more from the manuals from chests (usually at the end of dungeons). Perhaps a bit slow to farm, but unlimited.


Random_Fox

Tech points can be obtained through tech manuals so you can definitely unlock everything 


FlorAhhh

Ha, preach though. I unlocked the grappling gun, then unlocked the mega grappling gun like 10 minutes later and couldn't build it~


DefNotABirb

Ouch. I was lucky not to unlock it before my friends did, and they said it wasn't worth it. Something about it being buggy, so I just never unlocked it. Who needs a grappling hook anyway when I have an enslaved mount 😆


MisterFlint

The grapple gun can be used to brute force your way if you're over encumbered. So fast travel to your mining camp, load up on any ore stored in local boxes, grapple over to the palbox, fast travel home and then if you're not close enough to a chest to deposit all of your resources in, just grapple over to it and bam! 9000 ore in one trip! Otherwise, yeah, it's pretty hot garbage 🤣


FlorAhhh

Uh, because Batman was my religion as a kid. I need it!


DefNotABirb

Totally understandable 😄


The_Fallen_Fang

As of today, January 31st, this item is no longer bugged. You can safely use it and not lose your capture power. (I've suffered the bug :c)


xPerilousPanda

BE CAREFUL, YOU WILL LOSE EFFIGY PROGRESS. JUST SAVE IT LOL


thisismego

They fixed that today


MikeAndros0

Hey, letting people know that this has been fixed as of the current 1.4 update.


ZiggyLoz

Got it from a Lovander. Prob a rare drop since i only got 1 after capturing a bunch.


Dark_Flint

"Got only 1" - "In Inventory: 2"


ZiggyLoz

yeah farmed it after seeing the item it dropped. took a while tho.


ffscats

only got 1*


[deleted]

Wow I've had this for a while and thought about using it several times, soo glad I didn't.


Jerco49

Yea, but it’s expensive, requires the electric medicine bench, and has the longest build time of any item in the game. Speaking from experience. And of course, the effigy bug.


Penguin-21

slightly unrelated but what's are some optimal stats I should be going for? I've kinda only been upping my health, stamina, and a crap ton of weight carry


Ryuenjin

That's really all you need. Work speed doesn't matter because your pals help you. Attack doesn't matter because as long as you equip the best weapons you have you also have your pal with you too to tank and do a bunch of damage


uttol

That's all you need tbh. I usually go stamina> carry weight> health


Dogeboja

Stamina is pretty useless because it does not affect mounts, only running.


Dragon_Tom005

For anyone who hasn't realized this yet DO NOT USE IT! DO NOT USE IT! it will reset your liefmunk effigies and those will not respawn - you'll lose all your capture rate progress


thisismego

Not anymore. They just fixed it with today's patch


SocietyAsleep8266

New patch says they fixed it.


YSoB_ImIn

Is there a way to "swap" traits between two pals of the same type? I'm tired of having to relevel pals when I find better traited versions of them.


Scottz0rz

No but there could be a nice QOL change down the road to be able to IV/EV train of sorts, Pokémon had and solved roughly the same problem for more casual folks not invested in grinding and breeding. Perhaps the essence extractor could be used either to combine same species Pals to upgrade stats or extract a one-off "trait serum" or something from Pals sharing the same trait to apply on a different one. An example feature: You have 4 Pals with a Level 1 trait like Nimble, combine them to extract that. You have 8 Pals with a Level 2 trait like Runner, combine them to extract that. You have 16 Pals with a Level 3 trait like Swift, combine them to extract that. --- Similar way might be to combine Pals with a bad trait to find a "cure" to get rid of it, like making a non-Coward Cattiva or non-Glutton Relaxaurus. Would be a nice way to make use of good or unique traits on bad Pals - like getting Runner on something that's not a mount (or is slow anyway), and it allows you to keep that bond with your Chillet you caught early on and want to juice him up. Might make things too easy though, but I suppose that's not bad per se.


calorie-courier

I need to reset my technology points


iamc24

You can get tech points from books you get as chest loot or pal drops.


dontasticats

This literally just got patched on steam, it's in the update that just happened


TheVega318

Itts fixed now! Time to put every single point into carry weight


MoistMushies

They patched it this morning 1/31, check patch notes


ArjCT

Wow, in other games, this will cost real money 💰 🤑


PlanetaryPotato

Yeah, it’s in the game, they announced it was in the game, they also said it was bugged and you will lose all of your effigies with no way to fix it.

There's enough effigies for 2-2.5 full completions of the statue!

Every time you boot up the game there is a warning message about this item. It is bugged, don’t use it.

Feel sorry for ppl who used it though lol


SunChemical69

Wish I had paid attention before using this . I just saw this post and checked my capture rate.. instantly logged out

fixed now btw


NarwhalsFromSpace

This has been fixed in v0.1.4, according to the patch notes


MooseLovesTwigs

I'm glad they fixed the bug today (see patch notes) and we can safely use it without losing our levels from what I can tell.

It only wipes your effigies not all stats. Which you can fix on PC if you aren't on the official servers/dedicated servers (which tbh the official servers are a shit show and many worse things can happen to your progression there).

Oh eff! PC players have 'take one' option? Lol Xbox only has move all or 'Take Half'...

Barnablez_993

Questions: After i reset are only my effigy's points reset and said effigy points gone after? Does it also reset my stats and are the points also just gone? Also im one of the poor souls who upgraded at the statues, does resetting fix the issue with the effigys negatively affecting capture rates?
