What Makes a Great Base Pal in Palworld?
In Palworld: Tides of Terraria, having a high-functioning base can make a huge difference. With the latest content update and how easily you can now obtain Work Suitability Books, players have more control than ever over building a truly efficient setup. The ability to upgrade almost any Pal's work skills to level 5 means you're no longer limited by default stats.
So now the focus shifts to versatility — Pals that can handle multiple work tasks are more valuable than ever. If one Pal can do the job of three, that’s less space needed and fewer slots wasted. With the addition of Monitoring Stands that allow task prioritization, having a team of flexible workers will simplify your entire base management.
Why Multi-Skill Pals Are Game-Changers
It’s simple — the more jobs a Pal can perform, the fewer Pals you need. This not only frees up space in your base but also reduces lag and keeps your systems flowing smoothly. With the right upgrades and passive traits, you can turn almost any Pal into a powerhouse.
Combine this with recent exploits like unlimited Work Suitability Book usage (which may get patched eventually), and you're looking at a whole new meta for base building. Prioritize Pals that offer four or more work suitability types — they’re the real MVPs.
Prunelia: Night-Working Crop Booster
Prunelia is a solid all-around base Pal with five crucial skills: planting, handiwork, gathering, medicine production, and transporting. As a Dark-type, she doesn’t need to sleep, giving her non-stop productivity. Her small size also helps her avoid getting stuck around your base.
She’s particularly great for farms, thanks to her unique passive that boosts crop harvest yields. Set all her work levels to 5, add a few passives for work speed, and you’ve got a reliable multitasker who runs 24/7.
Dogen (or Dolan): Sturdy and Flexible
Dogen is another five-skill utility Pal with a wide range of base applications: handiwork, gathering, lumbering, medicine production, and transporting. He’s a great pick if you want a Pal who can keep up with general upkeep without needing specialization.
He’s reliable, upgradeable, and works well in just about any base layout. When paired with passives like Serious or Artisan, his overall work rate is exceptional for multi-role duties.
Panking: The Mining Multitasker
Panking is one of the few Pals in Palworld who can mine and still cover multiple other areas. He brings mining, handiwork, watering, cooling, and transporting to your base.
Mining is a must for maintaining ore-based crafting, so a multi-skill Pal who can do it all without needing rotation is a rare find. With enough investment, Panking becomes one of the most essential Pals you can have for raw material gathering and utility tasks.
Penking Lux: Power Generator and Miner
Penking Lux is essentially an upgrade to the original Penking. He swaps out cooling for electricity generation, a huge deal if your base relies on tech that requires constant energy.
His skills include electricity generation, handiwork, watering, mining, and transporting, making him ideal for tech-heavy or mining-centered bases. With the right passives and upgrades, this Pal will outperform most others in long-term usefulness.
Verdash: Farming and Transport Focused
Verdash may not have unique traits that haven’t been mentioned already, but he stands out for being farming-focused. He brings planting, handiwork, lumbering, gathering, and transporting to the table, making him perfect for bases focused on agriculture.
He excels at cycling through plant and transport tasks, keeping your farms efficient and your crafting queues active.
Suitia: Dark-Type With Essential Skills
Suitia only has four work skills, but the combination is powerful: kindling, gathering, lumbering, and mining. She’s also a Dark-type, meaning no sleep interruptions and better work speed passive potential.
The blend of kindling and mining is particularly handy, as it means she can fuel and gather resources for crafting processes without downtime. Her visual design is also a fan favorite — just an all-around cool addition to your base.
Bushy Knot: All-Night Firestarter
Bushy Knot has five work abilities that make him perfect for any base requiring fire-based processing: kindling, handiwork, lumbering, gathering, and transporting. And yes — he’s another Dark-type, which again means nonstop work hours.
He’s also relatively small, which keeps him mobile and efficient even in cramped base designs. If you use furnaces or cooking stations heavily, Bushy Knot is worth investing in.
Beegarde: The Queen of Versatility
Beegarde is a rare find with six work suitability traits. That’s right — six. These include planting, handiwork, lumbering, medicine production, gathering, and transporting.
She’s one of the best all-arounders available. It takes some effort (and a lot of books) to max her out, but once done, you’ll have a Pal that can cover most of your daily base needs without breaking a sweat. She even produces honey at ranches, giving her extra value.
Robinquill: Another Six-Skill Powerhouse
Robinquill is similar to Beegarde in that he offers six base tasks: planting, handiwork, gathering, medicine production, lumbering, and transporting. While he doesn’t bring any new skill types to the table, his ability to juggle six different work zones means you’ll save massively on base slots.
If you’re aiming to run a compact but highly efficient base, Robinquill is a solid bet. With proper leveling, he’ll keep your systems moving without missing a beat.
Quivern Bolton: Strong and Resourceful
Quivern Bolton carries five solid work skills: planting, handiwork, gathering, mining, and transporting. While slightly larger in size compared to others, she still navigates the base effectively and doesn’t get stuck like bulkier Pals such as Astigon.
She’s especially useful if you want a Pal that combines mining and planting in one role — a rare mix that supports both crafting and farming tasks.
Dazynaut: Small, Efficient, and Electric
Dazynaut rounds out this list as one of the few Pals that provide electricity generation alongside other essential base tasks. Her skill set includes electricity generation, handiwork, medicine production, and transporting — a compact but efficient mix for bases that lean into automated crafting and tech use.
She’s also a Dark-type, so she works through the night without sleep. Her small size means she won’t get in the way, and she’s one of the easiest Pals to manage in tight base spaces. While she has fewer skills than the top-tier six-skill Pals, her value in power-centric builds makes her a real asset.
Handling Cooling Tasks the Smart Way
While most of this guide focused on Pals with multiple skills, cooling is an area that’s often better left to specialists. You only really need a constant cooling Pal for fridges and specific machinery. Here’s what works:
-
Vanwyrm Cryst is a Dark-type Ice Pal who never needs sleep and provides strong cooling. Great for around-the-clock fridge duty.
-
Jolthog Cryst, while tiny and single-skilled, is perfect if you're tight on space. His size, combined with Nocturnal or other work speed passives, makes him an easy choice for permanent cooling tasks.
Pick one, level them to 5 in cooling, and you’re good to go.
Final Thoughts on Base Optimization
Building an efficient base in Palworld: Tides of Terraria now goes way beyond just picking high-level Pals. With access to Work Suitability Books, monitoring stations, and updated systems, players can fine-tune their base setups like never before.
The key takeaway? Focus on versatile Pals. The more skills they bring, the more valuable they become. Whether you’re running a large farming operation, crafting station, or a power-dependent tech zone, these all-rounders let you do more with less.
Don't forget to consider passive traits like:
-
Artisan
-
Workaholic
-
Serious
-
Legend
-
Nocturnal (for non-Dark Pals)
And keep experimenting — with breeding guides and upgrades becoming more accessible, you can personalize your dream team of base workers easily.
