Best Pals for Mining Resources in Palworld

I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of Stone and Ingots I run through daily while playing Palworld, which is why finding the best Pals for Mining makes sense!

PalMiningTier
AstegonMining Level 4S
BlazamutMining Level 4S
DigtoiseMining Level 3A
ReptyroMining Level 3A
AnubisMining Level 3A
PenkingMining Level 2B
DumudMining Level 2B
MammorestMining Level 2B
DepressoMining Level 1C
CattivaMining Level 1C

No other Pal compares to Cattiva for Mining Work Suitability for sheer availability in the early game. They’re everywhere! But personally, and I know many think the same, no creature is as good as Depresso. His mining animation is top-tier.

But if we’re talking about efficiency, move on up the list. Of course, you want A-Tier or S-Tier, and Anubis, Digtoise, and Astegon prove the most coveted for Stone and Ore.

Where to Mine Resources at Your Base

If you want a constant supply of resources, especially Stone, at your base, you must build a Stone Pit. It’s available relatively early on, at Technology Level 7, and requires:

  • 20x Wood.
  • 50x Stone.
  • 10x Paldium Fragment.

Once you place down a Stone Pit, you can manually assign the previously mentioned Pals or allow them to assign themselves automatically.

Alternatively, if you strategically place your base to cover a node, which respawns over time, you can mine Ore to craft Ingots. To automatically mine Ore, you require a Pal with Mining Level 2.
