Palworld 1.0 Best Dog Coin Farm: Mimog Locations and Fast Farming Guide
- Dog Coins are an Epic-rarity special currency, separate from Gold Coins, spent only at Medal Merchants (Pal hats, Skill Fruits, Elixirs, stat-boost items, mystery boxes). Mimog — a Neutral Pal disguised as a treasure chest — is the main source.
- Defeating OR capturing a wild Mimog drops Dog Coins at 100%. Butchering gives none. The count scales with the Mimog’s level: only Lv10 (~14–21) and Lv80 (~170–250) are datamined — the levels in between are not published, so ignore any ‘8-tier’ table.
- The most-documented farm is the eastern lava river: fast-travel to the Sealed Realm of the Swift waypoint and patrol the western bank, where Mimog spawn around level 80 (also dropping 8,500–11,000 Gold Coins each).
- There’s no official coins-per-hour, and the popular ‘drop-bonus Pal’ (Blazehowl Noct) is unconfirmed for Dog Coins and only works on defeat — so treat every rate as an estimate. The calculator lets you plug in your own pace.
Chasing Dog Coins in Palworld 1.0 to spend at the Medal Merchant? The best source is a sneaky little Pal called Mimog — a Neutral-element creature that disguises itself as a treasure chest, then hands you a pile of Dog Coins when you beat or catch it. This guide covers where to find Mimog, exactly how the drop works, and — honestly — how fast you can farm, with a calculator so you can run your own numbers.
Meet Mimog and Dog Coins
Dog Coins are an Epic-rarity special currency, completely separate from ordinary Gold Coins. You can’t spend them at normal shops — they’re only accepted by Medal Merchants, who sell the good stuff: Pal hats, Skill Fruits, Elixirs, stat-boost items and mystery boxes.
Mimog is the main way to get them. It’s a Neutral-element Pal (internal name MimicDog) that hides as a treasure chest until you get close. The key rule:
- Defeating OR capturing a wild Mimog drops Dog Coins at 100%. Either works.
- Butchering a Mimog gives you nothing — the coins only come from a clean defeat or capture.
How many Dog Coins does a Mimog drop?
This is where almost every guide overreaches. The drop scales with the Mimog’s level, but only two levels are actually datamined:
- Low-level Mimog (~lvl 10): about 14–21 Dog Coins.
- Level-80 Mimog: about 170–250 Dog Coins — plus 8,500–11,000 Gold Coins and a chance at a Training Manual (XL).
Everything in between is guesswork. If you see a tidy “8-tier” table online (20-30 at lvl 20, 32-48 at lvl 30, and so on), those numbers are interpolated, not datamined — so don’t treat them as gospel. The takeaway is simple: higher-level Mimog pay out dramatically more, which is why the endgame lava-river route below is the one to farm.
The best Dog Coin farm: the lava river route
The most-documented route sends you to the map’s eastern lava river, where Mimog spawn at around level 80:
- Fast-travel to the “Sealed Realm of the Swift” waypoint.
- Head to the lava river on the eastern side of the map.
- Patrol the western bank (work the north or south end). The Mimog here are ~level 80 — the richest payouts.
No interactive map exposes clean spawn coordinates, so treat this as a landmark route, not a pin drop. Mimog also appear across the volcano region, Sakurajima trash piles, Sky Islands (lvl 65–67), Yamijima (50–67), Sakura (46–59) and various dungeons (lvl 5–42) — but those are lower level, so fewer coins per kill.
How the farming methods compare
Mimog isn’t the only Dog Coin source, but it’s the only one with a known per-kill yield. Here’s the honest comparison — there’s no published coins-per-hour for any of them:
- Mimog — the only method with a confirmed per-kill number, and the only one you can also capture for the coins.
- Hostile humans (Syndicate Thugs, Oil Rig raiders) — BisectHosting calls this arguably the fastest way to gather Dog Coins, but no source gives an actual yield.
- Scrap Piles / Junkyards and treasure chests — no combat, but RNG drops with no published quantity.
If you want a predictable haul, Mimog is the pick. If you just want volume and don’t mind fighting, the human camps are worth a look.
How fast can you farm? (the honest model)
There is no official coins-per-hour and no measured Mimog kill rate, so anything past this point is a model, not a promise. Using the datamined lvl-80 midpoint of ~210 Dog Coins per kill, here’s how a session accumulates at a few paces:
And as a sensitivity grid — coins per kill (real only at the two datamined levels) against your own kill rate:
The pattern is obvious: level matters more than speed. A lvl-80 Mimog is worth about 12× a lvl-10 one, so farming the high-level lava river beats grinding low-level spawns faster.
Want your own number? Plug your Mimog level and kill rate into our Palworld Currency Farm Calculator (switch it to the Dog Coin · Mimog tab) — it locks the datamined per-kill drops and does the coins-per-hour and time-to-goal math.
Does a drop-bonus Pal actually help?
You’ll see guides recommend a “drop-bonus” Pal to boost your haul. Be careful here — the numbers don’t hold up for Dog Coins:
Blazehowl Noct’s “Darkflame Lion” skill does add +40% to +80% to items Neutral Pals drop when defeated (Mimog is Neutral), and that’s datamined and real. But three things make it unreliable for this farm:
- It’s unconfirmed for Dog Coins specifically. Guaranteed special currencies are often exempt from loot-quantity skills, and no source shows the Dog Coin count going up.
- It’s defeat-only — it does nothing if you capture the Mimog (which is often the easier way to farm).
- The “it caps at +80% and doesn’t stack” claim is a single unverified snippet.
So: nice in theory, unproven in practice. Don’t build your farm around it — and if you’re capturing Mimog, it’s irrelevant.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you find Mimog in Palworld?
Mimog spawns across many biomes at levels 5–80, disguised as treasure chests. The best Dog Coin farm is the eastern lava river: fast-travel to the Sealed Realm of the Swift waypoint and patrol the western bank, where Mimog are ~level 80. They also appear around the volcano, Sakurajima, Sky Islands and dungeons at lower levels.
How many Dog Coins does Mimog drop?
It scales with level. Only two points are datamined: about 14–21 at low level and 170–250 at level 80. Defeating or capturing works (100%); butchering gives none. Intermediate levels aren’t officially published.
What are Dog Coins used for?
They’re an Epic special currency spent only at Medal Merchants, who sell Pal hats, Skill Fruits, Elixirs, stat-boost items and mystery boxes. Regular shops don’t take them.
Is there a faster Dog Coin farm than Mimog?
Possibly — BisectHosting suggests farming hostile human NPCs (Syndicate Thugs, Oil Rig raiders) may be quicker, but no source gives a per-kill number, so it’s unproven. Mimog is the only method with a confirmed yield.
Do drop-bonus Pals increase Dog Coins?
Unconfirmed. Blazehowl Noct’s skill boosts Neutral-Pal loot on defeat, but nothing shows it raises the Dog Coin count, and it doesn’t help when you capture. Don’t rely on it.
The bottom line
Dog Coins come down to one Pal: Mimog. Defeat or capture it (never butcher), farm the high-level lava river via the Sealed Realm of the Swift for 170–250 coins a pop, and ignore the interpolated drop tables and the unproven drop-bonus tricks. When you want to know how many kills stand between you and that Medal Merchant purchase, run it through the Currency Farm Calculator.
