Best Mining Pals in Palworld
To get your Pals to mine for you, you'll need to set up a base near some Ore deposits. Establishing an Ore farm proves extremely useful, as you can return to your base after your exploration endeavors, and find loads of resources that your Pals have collected for you.
Here are the best Mining Pals in Palworld:
- Rushoar and Cattiva (early game)
- Digtoise
- Menasting
- Astegon
- Anubis
In the early stages, Rushoar and Cattiva are great Mining Pals with a Level 1 Mining Work Suitability who can gather all the Stone you need. Rushoar has a Hard Head ability which allows it to be ridden and effortlessly demolish boulders. Additionally, these Pals love defending, so your base will be in good hands with this tough guy around.
To mine Ore in Palworld, you'll need Pals with at least Level 2 Mining Work Suitability, but we'll do you one better with Digtoise. With a Mining Work Suitability of Level 3, Digtoise is easily found in the smaller desert area and is great for Ore extraction. You'll also get some Ore when you capture these Pals.
Menasting boasts Level 3 Mining Work Suitability as well, making it a useful Mining Pal, albeit one of the most challenging to acquire as it is typically found as an Alpha Pal. Like Rushoar, it also helps safeguard your base with its Partner Skill.
Astegon stands out as the top choice for dedicated mining activities due to its superior Mining Work Suitability of Level 4. Its only other skill is Handiwork Suitability Level 1, so make sure to assign it to Mining so it doesn't wander into doing random Handiwork activities. You can find this Dark/Dragon Pal at the Destroyed Mineshaft situated in the southwestern volcanic region of the map.
If you're looking for a bit more flexibility, Anubis will do your mining tasks, and even transport the Ore for you. With a Mining Work Suitability of Level 3, Anubis is an all-around late-game Mining Pal whose versatility extends to Ore extraction, material movement, and assistance with building tasks.
