This guide outlines the level that you can find each, the materials you need, and where on the map they’re located.
If you’re starting out, don’t miss our list of the best pals to get in the early game.
The first step to getting mounts is hitting level 6 of the Technology tree as that will give you access to the Pal Gear Workbench.
This structure allows you to create gear that is used with specific pals, ranging from saddles (which are used to mounts) to equipment that turn the pals into literal weapons like rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and gliders.
If you’re in a rush to get the first possible mount in Palworld, 
Rushoar is the pal you want.
Its saddle becomes available at Technology level 6, which is the same one as the earlier mentioned Pal Gear Workbench.
Many players will miss this recipe because Rushoar's spawning area is pretty far from the beginning area and end up getting 
Eikthyrdeer as their first land mount.
However, if you wander into their area or found this specific article, Rushoar is a great pal to get early on as it will save you time traveling and can help you mine stone quickly with its ability.
Since Rushoar's spawn in an area that’s decently far from the starting area, Eikthyrdeer will likely be the first mount for a lot of first time players.
You’ll need to reach Technology level 12 to unlock the Eikthyrdeer Saddle.
With the ability to double jump, help you cut trees, or handle tree-cutting at the base as a worker, Eikthyrdeer is by far the best early-game land mount for all-around purposes.
Switch back to Rushoar for mining or pick up a 
Direhowl for pure speed.
Although you can technically pick up a 
Surfent earlier on, we recommend just getting the 
ChilletSaddle right around the time you get the Eikthyrdeer one. It work out nicely since the Chillet Saddle unlocks at Technology level 11, right beforeEikthyrdeer Saddle’s level 12.
We recommend skipping Surfent so you can save on resources as Chillet is better in basically every way (except super long-distance water travel due to Surfent's ability).
This is because Ice and Dragon are rare elemental types in the early game, allowing you to deal more damage to Dragon and Dark types (which are common at night time).
Lastly, the Chillet that you can hunt down as an Alpha will be much stronger than any Surfent you can find early on.
Although being able to traverse land and sea feels great, nothing compares to the freedom of being able to fly!
Nitewing is the first flying mount that you can access starting at Technology level 15, not too long after Eikthyrdeer and Chillet.
Since it’s a flyer, you’ll need access to a ranged weapon to aggro it, but once you hit it, it’ll come down to ground level making it much easier to catch.
In addition to being a flying mount, having Gathering 2 is nice to have and will help speed up transportation of materials within your base when you aren’t traveling.
