Every Pal type in Palworld can take on different tasks in your base, saving you a whole lot of work. Altogether there are eleven distinct areas Pals can specialise in. Most Pals can even handle several jobs, which is especially handy. Their proficiency ranges from one to five, so you’ll need to weigh how well your Pals can perform. Today we’ll look at all eleven jobs and show you which Pals suit them best. We’ve grouped most tasks into four broad categories.
Palworld resource farming: Best Pals for gathering
Gathering food in Palworld: Best Pals
Gathering is all about resources from your other farms, especially your plantations, collecting them and then either storing or directly processing into food. Above all, your Pals’ speed matters here.
- Frostallion Noct: Only has Gathering, so very niche.
- Shroomer Noct: Great thanks to its ability that boosts sanity.
- Braloha: Can also plant, and speeds up hatching Pal Eggs.
Farming wood in Palworld: Logging with Pals
These Pals can gather wood in the wild or at the lumber camp. They can do this passively or directly support the player. Less important later on once you already have a large base.
- Celesdir: One of only two Pals with Level 4, and easier to catch than Hartalis.
- Bushi Noct: Nocturnal, with a very diverse spread of job skills.
- Eikthyrdeer: Strong early on, yields more wood thanks to its Partner Skill.
Mining in Palworld: Stone, ore and coal
Like logging, this skill gathers materials such as stone, ore and coal. Can be done passively at workstations. The higher the level, the rarer the resources you can obtain.
- Astegon: Generally the strongest Pal for mining.
- Quivern: Can also take on other jobs, which is handy.
- Tombat: Underrated for mining, especially in the early game.
Base management in Palworld: Staff elemental tasks efficiently
Cooling food in Palworld: Keep it fresh longer
With Cooling, food is kept fresh and spoils more slowly. Not that important overall, so these Pals should also help elsewhere in the base. Also helps hatch certain eggs faster that prefer the cold.
- Icelyn: Especially good, as it can take on other jobs as well.
- Whalaska: Effective thanks to Cooling Level 4.
- Penking: Very versatile at work, can be upgraded with manuals.
Kindling in Palworld: Start furnaces and cook
Kindling isn’t always needed and often requires player input. We’ve therefore picked Pals that can also handle other work.
- Blazamut Ryu: Besides Kindling, can also provide Mining Level 4.
- Sootseer: Incredibly versatile Pal for various jobs.
- Bushi Noct: Also very versatile, plus nocturnal.
Generating power in Palworld: Pals for electricity
Some machines in your later base require power, and these Pals provide it. Electricity is rarer, so you don’t have many options.
- Orserk: Alongside Azurmane, the only Pal with Level 4 power generation, and also has Transport and Handiwork.
- Dazzy Noct: Needs several manuals, but is very versatile.
- Penking Lux: Likewise very diverse, with four additional work areas.
Base tasks in Palworld: Optimise production
Handiwork and crafting in Palworld: Best Pals
Handiwork is very common among Pals and useful for many different tasks. It primarily focuses on producing items on conveyor belts or other workstations.
- Anubis: The best Pal in this category, and can also transport.
- Dogen: Fast and able to handle several other jobs.
- Splatterina: A solid alternative, nocturnal and has other strong abilities.
Transporting items in Palworld: Fastest Pals
The transport of items in your base is essential for maintaining smooth production. These Pals are therefore very important. Many Pals can transport items; here, level is decisive and determines the number of items carried. Speed also matters.
- Knocklem: Overall the fastest and strongest Pal for this kind of work.
- Wumpo Botan: Slower, but more versatile in its skills.
- Mimog: Can’t carry much without manuals, but by far the fastest Pal.
Supplies in Palworld: Food and medicine for Pals
Planting in Palworld: Grow crops efficiently
Growing food is vital for your Pals’ self-sufficiency. Choose the right Pals to tend your fields. There’s plenty of overlap with the next two work types.
- Prunelia: Its ability boosts harvest yield. Also very versatile in other tasks.
- Lyleen: Alongside Braloha, one of the only Pals with Level 4 Planting.
- Verdash: A fast and fairly diverse Pal, great for the mid game.
Watering in Palworld: Supply fields and mills
Your fields must be watered so plants can grow. It’s also important for the Mill to produce Wheat Flour and for the Crusher.
- Faleris Aqua: Has Level 4 Watering and can also transport.
- Ghangler Ignis: Good for additional Kindling.
- Jellroy + Jelliete: If both are in your base, they increase watering speed.
Making medicine in Palworld: Heal and stay prepared
Producing medicine is not that important, so these Pals should also take on other work. Still, keep a few Pals ready for medicine.
- Lullu: Easy to find, also improves the growth rate of your crops.
- Bellanoir: The only Pal with Level 4 medicine production, and also has Transport and Handiwork.
- Prunelia: As with Planting, an extremely versatile Pal for anything related to nature.
Conclusion: Deploy Pals optimally for your Palworld base
A smart division of labour in your base is crucial for production and gathering important items. Use the right Pals and assign them to their jobs. Pals with multiple overlaps are always useful, but also make use of the Overseer Tower to direct Pals more efficiently. In addition, you can use manuals or condensing to upgrade their skills.
