Palworld players turn to more honest work after a patch robs them of their nail grift: Dooming a merchant to a Greek mythology-tier punishment loop of burning to death forever

An image of two Palworld trainers seated by a campfire while their pal breaths a jet of flame onto the logs.

Alas, Palworld's nail economy is in shambles as per its latest update. In case you missed that particular patch, nails used to sell for an obscene 160 gold a piece, making them a great way to grind money. That's been fixed, so players have had to turn to simpler labour. Like tilling fields, or setting up an infinite death trap their victims have no hopes of escaping—wait a second.

As spotted by GamesRadar, this trick's actually been around for a while, but has come into vogue since nails are no longer primo currency in the Palpagos Islands.
