Every Pal type in Palworld can take on different jobs around your base and save you a whole lot of work. Altogether, there are eleven distinct work suitabilities Pals can specialize in. Most Pals can even handle multiple jobs, which is especially handy. Their strength ranges from one to five, so you need to weigh how well your Pals can perform. Today we’ll go through all eleven jobs and show you which Pals are best for them. To do this, we’ve grouped the jobs into four broad categories.
Palworld resource farming: Best Pals for Gathering
Gathering food in Palworld: Best Pals
Gathering is all about collecting resources from your other farms—especially your plantations—then either storing them or immediately processing them into food. Above all, your Pals’ speed matters here.
- Frostallion Noct: Has only Gathering, so it’s very specialized.
- Shroomer Noct: Good thanks to its ability that helps with sanity.
- Braloha: Can also Plant, and speeds up hatching Pal Eggs.
Farming wood in Palworld: Lumbering with Pals
These Pals can collect wood in the wild or at the Lumber Mill. They can do this passively or directly assist the player. Less important later on once you’ve built a large base.
- Celesdir: One of the only two Pals with Level 4, and easier to catch than Hartalis.
- Bushi Noct: Nocturnal, plus a very diverse job pool.
- Eikthyrdeer: Great early on, more wood thanks to its partner skill.
Mining in Palworld: Stone, ores, and coal
Like lumbering, this skill gathers materials, including stone, as well as ores and coal. It can run passively at various workstations. The higher the level, the rarer the resources you’ll get.
- Astegon: Overall the strongest Pal for mining duties.
- Quivern: Can also cover other jobs, which is convenient.
- 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 stays fresh and spoils more slowly. It’s not crucial, so these Pals should also help elsewhere in the base. It can also speed up hatching for eggs that prefer cooler conditions.
- Icelyn: Especially good, as it can take on other jobs too.
- Whalaska: Effective thanks to Cooling Level 4.
- Penking: Very versatile at work, can be upgraded with books.
Kindling in Palworld: Start furnaces and cook
You won’t need Kindling all the time, and it often requires player input. We’ve selected Pals that also handle other tasks well.
- Blazamut Ryu: Besides Kindling, also has Mining Level 4.
- Sootseer: An incredibly versatile Pal for varied tasks.
- Bushi Noct: Likewise very versatile, and nocturnal.
Generating power in Palworld: Pals for electricity
Some machines in your late-game base need electricity, and these Pals are useful for that. Electricity is rarer, so you don’t have many options.
- Orserk: Alongside Azurmane, the only Pal with Electricity Level 4; also has Transporting and Handiwork.
- Dazzy Noct: Needs some books, but is very versatile in use.
- Penking Lux: Also very diverse, with four additional work suitabilities.
Base tasks in Palworld: Optimize production
Handiwork and crafting in Palworld: Best Pals
Handiwork is very common among Pals because it’s useful for many different tasks. It primarily focuses on producing items on assembly lines or at other workstations.
- Anubis: The best Pal in this category; can also transport.
- Dogen: Fast and able to handle several other jobs.
- Splatterina: A good alternative; nocturnal and has other useful abilities.
Transporting items in Palworld: Fastest Pals
Transporting items around your base is essential for keeping production running. These Pals are therefore very important. Many Pals can transport items; here, level determines how many items they can carry. Speed is also important.
- Knocklem: Overall the fastest and strongest Pal for this job.
- Wumpo Botan: Slower, but more versatile in its skills.
- Mimog: Can’t carry much without books, but is by far the fastest Pal.
Sustenance 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 a lot of overlap with the next two job types.
- Prunelia: Its ability increases harvest yield. Also very versatile in other tasks.
- Lyleen: Along with Braloha, the only Pal with Planting Level 4.
- Verdash: A fast and fairly versatile Pal, great for the mid game.
Watering in Palworld: Supply fields and mills
Your fields need steady watering so plants can grow. It’s also important for the Mill to produce Wheat Flour and for the Crusher.
- Faleris Aqua: Has Watering Level 4 and can also transport.
- Ghangler Ignis: Good for additional Kindling.
- Jellroy + Jelliete: If both are in your base, they increase watering speed.
Medicine production in Palworld: Heal and prepare
Medicine production isn’t that important, so these Pals should also take on other tasks. Still, you should 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 for Medicine Production; also has Transporting and Handiwork.
- Prunelia: As with Planting, an extremely versatile Pal for everything related to nature.
Conclusion: Deploy Pals optimally for your Palworld base
Division of labor in your base is crucial for production and resource gathering. Use the right Pals and assign their jobs wisely. Pals with multiple overlaps are always great; also make use of the Monitoring Stand to better direct Pals to their tasks. You can also use manuals or condense Pals to improve their abilities.
