In Palworld as you build your base, choosing the right companions is crucial for success. Pals can assist you in various activities, both inside and outside your home. This time, we will focus on the activities within your base and which pals are most specialized for each of them from fighting and defending to planting and watering crops. We will describe one by one the tasks that our friendly pals can perform and which ones are the best at each of them.
First and foremost, you should know that there are 11 Work Suitability at the moment. Each of them provides some advantage and support for your base. Each Pal will have at least one work ability. The higher the level of the work suitability, the faster and more efficient your Pal will complete the task. If a Pal has multiple work suitabilities, it could happen that it will change its tasks constantly. To change it use the monitoring stand. There you can assign specific tasks to your Pals that they should concentrate on.
In the following sections, we’ll recommend the best specific pals for each Work Suitability, and also provide lower-level alternatives for you to start optimizing your base from the beginning.
