Direct answer
How do you get Ancient Pal Manuscripts in Palworld 1.0?
Use the Pal Expedition Station and inspect each available destination’s reward list. Choose a destination your assigned Pals can complete reliably, raise the displayed reward multiplier without making the run fail, then collect the manuscripts and restart the expedition. Do not rely on older bounty-merchant advice without checking your installed build.

Efficiency rule
Reliable completion beats a theoretical maximum
Expedition destinations have different requirements and reward displays. Treat the station screen in your current save as the final planning source: assign suitable Pals, check that the run is viable, then improve the reward multiplier.
Avoid publishing or following one universal “manuscripts per hour” number without the destination, completion time, multiplier, world settings, and game build.
What changed in Palworld 1.0
Palworld 1.0 also allows Training Manuals to be crafted from Ancient Pal Manuscripts.
Manuscripts still support the broader Pal Labor Research loop. Decide whether your next batch is reserved for permanent research or converted into training resources before spending it.
