Best Mining Pals

Updated

Palworld 1.0 work index

Use this ranking when stone or ore production cannot keep construction and smelting supplied. Base Mining level sets the overall order; lower food amount resolves equal-level ties. The wild level-20 shortlist separates practical starter miners from late-game specialists.

Base level and food amount come from the current Pal parameters. Night work reflects the canonical nocturnal trait. Condensation can redistribute additional work levels and is not projected as a blanket +1.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Mining pal in Palworld 1.0?

Aegidron ranks first in this guide's base Mining table at level 8; lower food amount and then name resolve equal-level ties.

What is the best early-game Mining pal?

Tombat ranks first in this guide's wild level-20 shortlist, with a minimum mapped spawn level of 12 on the main island and base Mining level 3.

Does condensing improve Mining?

It can. In Palworld 1.0, each rank-up raises one of a pal's existing work suitability levels, and reaching maximum rank raises all of them. The job selected before maximum rank depends on that pal's work set, so this guide ranks base Mining levels and does not project a blanket +1 final value.
