Every Pal in Palworld can take on different tasks in your base and save you a whole lot of work. There are eleven different roles Pals can specialize in. Most Pals can even handle multiple tasks, which is especially handy. Their proficiency ranges from level one to five, so you’ll need to weigh how effectively they can work. Today we’ll cover all eleven jobs and show you which Pals are best suited for each one. We’ve grouped them into four broad categories most tasks fall into.
Palworld resource farming: Best Pals for gathering
Food gathering in Palworld: Best Pals
Gathering is all about collecting resources from your other farms, especially your plantations, then either storing them or processing them directly into food. Speed is the most important factor here.
- Frostallion Noct: Only has Gathering, so it’s very specialized.
- Shroomer Noct: Great thanks to its sanity-boosting ability.
- Braloha: Also has Planting and speeds up hatching Pal Eggs.
Logging in Palworld: Deforestation with Pals
These Pals can collect wood either out in the wild or at your lumberyard. They can do it passively or assist the player directly. Becomes less important later once your base is well established.
- Celesdir: One of only two Pals with level 4 Logging and easier to catch than Hartalis.
- Bushi Noct: Nocturnal and very versatile across roles.
- Eikthyrdeer: Strong early on thanks to its partner ability yielding more wood.
Mining in Palworld: Stone, ore, and coal
Like Logging, this skill gathers materials such as stone, ores, and coal. It can run passively at various workstations. The higher the level, the rarer the resources it can handle.
- Astegon: Overall the strongest Pal for mining work.
- Quivern: Can take on other tasks too, which is practical.
- Tombat: Underrated for mining, especially in the early game.
Base management in Palworld: Staff elemental tasks efficiently
Refrigeration in Palworld: Keep food fresh longer
Cooling keeps food fresh and slows spoilage. It isn’t critical, so these Pals should ideally help elsewhere in the base too. Cooling can also speed up hatching for certain eggs that prefer cold.
- Icelyn: Especially good because it can handle other jobs as well.
- Whalaska: Effective thanks to Cooling level 4.
- Penking: Very versatile and can be upgraded with manuals.
Kindling in Palworld: Start furnaces and cook
Kindling isn’t always needed, and it often requires player input. We’ve chosen Pals that can also take on other jobs.
- Blazamut Ryu: Besides Kindling, also provides Mining level 4.
- Sootseer: Incredibly versatile across multiple tasks.
- Bushi Noct: Also very versatile and nocturnal.
Generate electricity in Palworld: Pals for power
Some late-game machines in your base need electricity, and these Pals are key for that. Electric work is rarer, so your options are limited.
- Orserk: Alongside Azurmane, the only Pal with level 4 Power Generation; also has Transport and Handiwork.
- Dazzy Noct: Needs a few manuals but is very versatile overall.
- Penking Lux: Also highly versatile, with four additional work specialties.
Base tasks in Palworld: Optimize production
Handiwork and crafting in Palworld: Best Pals
Handiwork is a very common Pal skill, used for a wide range of tasks. It primarily focuses on manufacturing items at assembly lines and other workstations.
- Anubis: The best Pal in this category; can also haul.
- Dogen: Fast and able to cover several other jobs.
- Splatterina: A solid alternative; nocturnal and equipped with other good abilities.
Transporting items in Palworld: Fastest Pals
Hauling items around your base is essential to keep production flowing. Many Pals can transport, but level determines how many items they carry. 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.
Sustenance in Palworld: Food and medicine for Pals
Planting in Palworld: Grow crops efficiently
Growing food is important for your Pals’ self-sufficiency. Choose the right Pals to tend your fields. There’s a lot of overlap here with the next two roles.
- Prunelia: Its ability increases harvest yield. Also very versatile in other tasks.
- Lyleen: Along with Braloha, the only Pal with level 4 Planting.
- Verdash: A fast and fairly versatile Pal, great for the mid game.
Watering in Palworld: Supply fields and mills
Your fields must be properly watered so crops can grow. Watering is also important for the Mill to produce Wheat Flour and for the Crusher.
- Faleris Aqua: Has level 4 Watering and can also haul.
- Ghangler Ignis: Good for additional Kindling.
- Jellroy + Jelliete: If both are in your base, they increase Watering speed.
Crafting medicine in Palworld: Heal and prepare
Medicine production isn’t very important, so these Pals should also be able to help elsewhere. Still, keep a few on hand for medicine.
- Lullu: Easy to find and boosts the growth rate of your crops.
- Bellanoir: The only Pal with level 4 Medicine Production; also has Transport and Handiwork.
- Prunelia: As with Planting, an extremely versatile Pal for anything nature-related.
Conclusion: Deploy Pals optimally for your Palworld base
Division of labor in your base is crucial for production and gathering important items. Assign the right Pals to the right jobs. Pals with overlapping specialties are always useful, and the Monitoring Stand helps you fine-tune their assignments. You can also use manuals or Pal Condensation to improve their skills.
