**Palworld Guide: How to Catch, Breed, and Farm Gold Coins with Mau**
If you want to gain currency faster in *Palworld*, Mau is the best early-game Pal to get. Mau is a small feline creature with an adorable Egyptian-inspired design. While it isn’t the strongest combat Pal in the game, what makes it truly special is its ability to dig up gold coins. If casual coin farming is your goal, catching a Mau as soon as possible is highly recommended.

### What is Mau?
Mau is a Dark-type Pal in *Palworld*. It features a sleek black body adorned with gold-trimmed Egyptian details. Classified as Paldeck No. 024, Mau’s standout feature is its Partner Skill called **Gold Digger**, which allows it to produce Gold Coins when assigned to a ranch.
Gold Coins are an essential in-game currency, used to purchase gear, crafting materials, and even additional Pals. This makes Mau an excellent choice for early-game Gold Coin farming.

### Mau’s Combat Abilities
Though Mau is useful for farming, it’s not a powerhouse in battle. Its main combat moves include:
– Dark Ball
– Sand Blast
– Shadow Burst
These skills make Mau suitable for early-game encounters. However, with low attack and defensive stats, Mau is generally not recommended for late-game combat challenges.

### How to Find Mau in Palworld
Mau is tricky to acquire because it does not appear in the Overworld. Instead, you must explore specific dungeons to encounter it.
#### Known Dungeon Spawn Locations:
– **Hillside Cavern** (Level 13, Island Biome)
– Can spawn both wild and Alpha variants
– **Isolated Island Cavern** (Level 13, Island Biome)
– Wild Mau spawns here
– **Ravine Grotto** (Level 19, Island Biome)
– Wild Mau spawns here
All these dungeons are low- to mid-level, allowing new players easy access. Mau’s appearance isn’t guaranteed on every run, so persistence is key. To increase your chances, exit and re-enter these dungeons repeatedly.
Inside these locations, Mau typically spawn in pairs and are very skittish. Be quick to throw your Pal Sphere to capture them before they flee.

### How to Capture Mau
– **Bring Dragon-type Pals:** Dark-type Pals like Mau are weak against Dragon-types, which will make battles easier.
– **Use Low-Damage Attacks:** Weaken Mau without defeating it outright.
– **Use Mega or Giga Spheres:** These high-tier Pal Spheres increase your capture chances.
– **Catch Multiple:** Having more than one Mau boosts your Gold Coin farming rate significantly.
—
### Alternate Ways to Get Mau
Since dungeon spawn rates for Mau can be unpredictable, here are other methods to acquire them:
– **Black Marketeers:** You can purchase Mau for a hefty sum of 1,000 Gold Coins (prices increase with level).
– **Dark Egg:** Hatch Mau from a Dark Egg, obtained either in the open world or through breeding. To hatch the egg, place it in an egg incubator and wait.
—
### How to Breed Mau
Breeding is another reliable method to obtain Mau. Place two compatible Pals in a breeding farm to produce eggs that hatch into Mau. Known breeding combinations include:
– Chikipi × Cremis / Vixy / Cattiva / Lamball
– Teafant × Lamball / Cattiva
– Mau × Lamball
Using a high-level Pal with the **Lucky** trait during breeding can result in a stronger and more efficient Mau. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to build a large-scale Gold Coin farm.
—
### Farming Gold Coins with Mau
Once you have captured or bred a Mau, assign it to your Ranch. This activates Mau’s **Gold Digger** Partner Skill, generating Gold Coins over time.
– **At Level 1:** Mau generates 10 Gold Coins per cycle.
– **At Higher Levels:** Gold generation can reach up to 50 Gold Coins per cycle.
You can assign multiple Maus to your Ranch to maximize Gold Coin output. Thanks to Mau’s very low food consumption rate, managing resources remains easy even with several of them.
—
### Final Thoughts
Catching or breeding Mau is a long-term investment that pays off by providing a steady currency supply. While capturing Mau requires dungeon crawling and patience, the time spent is well worth it for your late-game economy.
