Best Palworld Mining Pals
Here are our rankings of the best Mining Pals inPalworld:
Astegonis the all-timebest Mining Palin Palworld, with a Mining Work Suitability ofLevel 4, which is the maximum. ThisDark,DragonPal is an elusive catch, however, and most players are likely to only have a chance to capture Astegon at Level 48 in theDestroyed Mineshaft.
Due to a recent patch, theDigtoiseis a new rival for the spot for best Mining pal. Although the Digtoise has aMining level 3, unlike the Astegon which also has a level in Handiwork, the Digtoise has no other skill proficiencies. This means it cannot be tempted away to perform other tasks at your base. Instead, the Digtoise will have one single focus - to mine ores.
Other endgame Mining Pals includeAnubisandBlazamut. Both of these are great choices for getting lots of tasks done at your base, since Blazamut also made our list of thebest Pals for Kindling, while Anubis topped our guide to thebest Pals for Handiwork.Likewise, the Blazamut is also a level 4 Mining Pal and has Fire, Ground and Neutral attacks, making it a well-rounded Pal to recruit if you’re later into your playthrough. For the best Mining Pals for earlier levels, see below.
Pals with level 2 Mining: Best for beginners
A Dumud Pal is a great early game option for Mining |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
If you’re looking for miners in Palworld’s early to mid game,Penking,Dumud,Tombat, andMammorestare all solid options and fairly obtainable early on. Each possess aLevel 2 Miningscore.
Mammorest Cryst, Quivern, Paladius and Necromus all have a level 2 Mining skill also but are usually late-game captures.
I recommend recruiting aDumudas early as possible. These hard workers are common east of theSealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant waypoint, which is amap levelof around 10-25. I found luck capturing one in a cage at a bandit camp, so remember to investigate these areas when you come across them for a chance for rare Pals. See our fullinteractive mapfor all cage locations. Dumud Pals are also proficient inWateringandTransporting, but excel the most in Mining.
If you’re not able to capture any of the Pals listed above, you can still mine a lot of ore with justCattiva,Fuddler, andRushoar, all of whom are very accessible Pals at the start of Palworld.
