Best Base Pals: Best Pals for Every Job

While not excelling in combat, some Pals can excel in completing jobs at your base in Palworld. Read on for to know which Pals make for the best workers in the beginning, middle, and late-game along with the Pals which are the best for each job and Work Suitability.

Base Management Update Coming Soon

Base Management Sneak Peek

A Base Management Update was revealed by Palworld's Developers in a tweet, showing that players can soon choose which Work Suitabilities are active for Pals working in the base.

This new Monitoring Stand feature may come alongside the new Raid Boss Bellanoir, as both of these features are expected to be part of the Closed Testing Program.

Best Base Pals for Late Game Bases

Tier	Pals

Recommended Work Suitabilities

Work Suitabilities
Levels	Lv. 3 ~ 4

It's Late Game and you need all the best items you need to get those Legendary Pals and topple the Towers! Focus on automating and getting Refined Ingots to get the best Gear, Structure, and Items available in the game!

Best Base Pals to Work for Refined Ingots and Upgraded Gear

Best Base Pals for End Game Bases
Jormuntide Ignis	Blazamut	Blazamut Ryu	Faleris
Digtoise	Anubis	Verdash	Ribbuny

These Pals are the best to employ in Bases that Focus on making Materials for the endgame like Refined Ingots. Pals with High Handiwork Levels should also focus more on working on Assembly Lines to get a huge stockpile going!

Ribbuny specifically is great for making Weapons and Ammo since its Partner Skill gives it increased Work Speed at a Weapon Assembly Line.

Best Base Pals to Get Down the Line: Highest Work Suitability Level Pals

List of Pals with a Lv. 4 Work Suitability
Frostallion	Orserk	Lyleen
Jormuntide Ignis	Jormuntide	Anubis
Astegon	Blazamut	Wumpo Botan
Wumpo	Frostallion Noct	Bellanoir
Bellanoir Libero	Knocklem	Blazamut Ryu

These Pals are the best to employ in your Bases since they have the highest possible Work Suitability, which is Lv. 4. Note that when these Pals are upgraded to 4-Stars at a Pal Essence Condenser, their Lv. 4 Work Suitabilities will rank up to Lv. 5.

One more thing to note is that some Work Suitabilities don't have a Pal with Lv. 4 in that field, so you will have to go one with Lv. 3 instead.

How to Get a Level 5 Work Suitability Pal

Have a Pal Focused on Making Medicine

Best Base Pals for Making Medicine
Felbat	Lyleen	Bellanoir	Lovander

Due to the difficulty ramping up once you reach the endgame, you might need to start making medicine to keep your Pals at peak fighting condition! Make sure you have one of these Pals on standby in your base in case you need to quickly craft Medicine.

Optional Pals

Optional Pals for Working Ending Game
Ribbuny	Mau	Sibelyx	NPCs

These Pals aren't necessarily the best at producing materials at a high rate, but they have certain niches that they can work in, especially in end game scenarios. Mau and Sibelyx are to be put inside a Farm in order to get Gold and High Quality Cloth respectively.

Ribbuny is special as it is the only Pal that can produce Weapons like Ammo, Arrows, and other similar items faster, making it the best worker for just stockpiling ammo.

Lastly, while they're not the best workers, you can put NPCs like the Merchants and Black Market Vendors into Assembly Lines to let them be productive when they're not selling you items. Totally humane and not illegal!

Best Base Pals for Mid-Game Bases

Tier	Pals

These rankings also apply for the late game

Recommended Work Suitabilities

Work Suitabilities
Levels	Lv. 2 ~ 3

At Mid Game, Ore Farming is necessary if you want to get stronger items and Pal Spheres! Prioritize Pals with Kindling and Mining at Lv. 2 so you can mine and refine Ore into Ingots to improve your base.

Best Base Pals to Get for Upgrading Your Base

Best Base Pals to Grind Ingots
Arsox	Bushi	Dumud	Penking

In order to get Ingots to improve your Gear, Base, and Items, you're gonna need Ore. The best location for this is near the Desolate Church Area, so make sure to set up your other base there.

Refining Ingots with Lv. 1 Kindling Pals is not efficient though, so try to get Pals like Arsox and Bushi to speed up the process. Along with this, Pals with Mining Lv. 1 cannot break Ores, so try to find Dumud and Penking in order to mine Ores.

Best Base Pals to Get Down the Line

Best Base Pals for Working Mid Game
Beegarde	Elizabee	Gorirat	Mammorest
Lovander	Univolt	Robinquill	Mossanda Lux

Once you get Ingots and get your base an upgrade, focus on getting Pals with improved Work Suitabilities rated Lv. 2 or higher as Lv. 1 will just be a slog to work with. Beegarde and Elizabee are amazing Pals as they have the most Work Suitabilities out of any Pal.

If you keep working on it, you can get access to Energy Generators which will help immensely in Production so start looking around for Pals with Generating Electricity as one of their Work Suitabilities.

Optional Pals

Optional Pals for Working Mid Game
Mossanda	Wixen	Azurobe	Digtoise

Once you start progressing near the late game, you will find some Pals won't cut it or they are a bit too scattered and some tasks are left unfinished. You can start replacing these Pals with ones that either have only one Work Suitability like Azurobe and Digtoise.

Alternatively, you can throw a Lv. 3 Pal into the Structure you fish for them to focus all their attention on like Mossanda and Wixen.

Cake Farm Pals

Farm Pals for Cake Ingredients
Mozzarina	Chikipi	Beegarde	Caprity

You gotta cook by the book if you want Cake! While focusing on your Ore Mining Base, you can convert your older base into focusing on making ingredients to bake a Cake. While slow to make, it is absolutely necessary if you want to start Breeding Pals! Note that you also need a Wheat Farm and a Grinder to get Flour.

Best Base Pals for Early Game Bases

Tier	Pals

These rankings also apply for the mid to late game

Recommended Work Suitabilities

Work Suitabilities
Levels	Lv. 1 ~ 2

These are the Work Suitabilities you should be looking for in Pals if you're looking for maximum efficiency in the early game. Prioritize Handiwork and Gathering as these will help you get started on a fully automatic base.

Best Base Pals to Get for Starting Your Base

Best Base Pals to Start Your Base
Cattiva	Lifmunk	Pengullet	Tanzee

When you start off your base, try to get Pals with Handiwork as their Work Suitability to get the ball rolling in building more Pal Spheres and raise that Base and Technology levels. These Pals will transition well once you get the Stone Pit and Logging Site structures.

Best Base Pals to Get Down the Line

Best Base Pals for Working Early Game
Chikipi	Depresso	Fuddler	Lamball
Vixy	Caprity	Foxparks	Fuack

Once you get your spots set up, you can start by placing a Storage Box in between your Stone Pit and Logging Site. This will lessen the distance between your farms and storage so that your Transport Pals can get back to the grind.

Caprity, Chikipi, and Vixy are amazing Pals to leave in your farm so you can get food and items passively while your Berry Farm is getting started.

After your Berry Farm has produced a good amount of Berries, you can cook these with Foxparks so they will last longer in your Feed Box.

Optional Pals

Optional Pals for Working Early Game
Flambelle	Tombat	Daedream	Leezpunk

These Pals are amazing Pals to have around but are more difficult to obtain due to their rarity or distance from the starting areas.

Tombat and Daedream can only be found at night so make sure you have some clothes before venturing at night. Tombat is great as it's the earliest Pal you can obtain with Lv. 2 Work Suitabilities and is nocturnal so you can make it work 24/7!

Flambelle especially is also a good catch as it is better than Foxparks in efficiency, so if you see any Scorching Eggs while walking around, be sure to pick it up as it might just hatch into this worker.

Best Pals for Every Job

All Pal Work Suitabilities
Kindling	Watering	Planting
Handiwork	Gathering	Cooling
Lumbering	Mining	Transporting
Generating Electricity	Medicine Production	Farming

Work Suitability at Rank SS is at a Lv. 4 or 3 going down to the lowest Rank at a Lv.1. The Higher the level of the Work Suitability, the faster they are at completing tasks of that Work Suitability.

Pals With Multiple High Level Work Suitabilities

List of Pals
Penking	Verdash	Vaelet
Petallia	Wumpo	Wumpo Botan
Quivern	Anubis	Grizzbolt
Lyleen	Lyleen Noct	Orserk

These Pals are overall generally good workers to have at your base due to them having multiple high-level Work Suitabilities that allow them to work multiple jobs.

Note that this is a general list of Pals meant for bases with multiple functions. Depending on what type of base you have, there may be better choices of Pals to use, especially if your base is tailored for a specific task.
