Mining in Palworld can result in the collection of important resources like Ore and Paldium Fragments. Here are the best Pals to use for mining.
In Palworld, players will need to mine for Ore, which is then used to craft Ingots to create weapons. You’ll need to reach Technology Level 10 and unlock the schematic for a Primitive Furnace before crafting Ingots.
If you’re just starting out in Palworld, Pals like Cattiva will help you gather Stone at your base from deposits or the Stone Pit. However, as you progress through the game, you may find yourself needing a few stronger Pals.
If you’re wondering about the best Mining Pals in Palworld, keep reading for our recommended list of helpers.
8. Astegon
- Element: Dark/Dragon
- Partner Skill: Black Ankylosaur
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Lv1, Mining Lv4
Astegon is arguably the best late-game choice for Mining due to its level 4 skill. We recommend putting Astegon near Stone Pits to have the most efficient outcome. Unfortunately, Astegon is a boss with a low catching rate.
7. Blazamut
- Element: Fire
- Partner Skill: Magma Kaiser
- Work Suitability: Kindling Lv3, Mining Lv4
Blazamut is a great choice for Mining if you need a Pal with a Kindling skill. This allows Blazamut to refine Ingots, and we recommend using this Pal alongside Anubis to create an excellent Mining team. Like Astegon, Blazamut is a rare monster found in the Scorching Mineshaft.
6. Anubis
- Element: Ground
- Partner Skill: Guardian of the Desert
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Lv4, Transporting Lv2, Mining Lv3
While Anubis stands out with its level 3 Mining skill, it also shines in other areas, such as Handiwork and Transporting. The combination of all three skills really turns Anubis into a helpful Mining machine.
Considering Anubis is an Alpha Pal, you can only find one in the entire game in the middle of the Twilight Dunes.
5. Menasting
- Element: Dark/Ground
- Partner Skill: Steel Scorpion
- Work Suitability: Lumbering Lv2, Mining Lv3
Menasting can be used to acquire more loot from Electric-type enemies due to its Steel Scorpion Partner Skill. You can employ Menasting work in Lumbering and Mining after finding it at the second Pal Wildlife Sanctuary.
4. Mammorest
- Element: Grass
- Partner Skill: Gaia Crusher
- Work Suitability: Planting Lv2, Lumbering Lv2, Mining Lv2
Finding a Mammorest in Palworld isn’t incredibly difficult, considering they are located in the map’s northern, southeast, south, and some western regions. In addition to Mining, Mammorest also has level two Planting and Lumbering skills.
3. Reptyro
- Element: Fire/Ground
- Partner Skill: Ore-Loving Beast
- Work Suitability: Kindling Lv3, Mining Lv3
With a level 3 Mining skill, Reptyro is another great monster to have for gathering Ores. It also has a level 3 Kindling Skill used for refining Ingots. To find Reptyro, you must head to the volcanic regions on the southwestern part of the map.
2. Digtoise
- Element: Ground
- Partner Skill: Drill Crusher
- Work Suitability: Mining Lv3
Fortunately, you can find Digtoise pretty early in the game in the two main desert areas on the Galapagos Islands. In addition to dropping Ore, Digtoise’s Partner Skill quickens the mining process, and we recommend keeping it at your base.
1. Quivern
- Element: Dragon
- Partner Skill: Sky Dragon’s Affection
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Lv1, Gathering Lv2, Mining Lv2, Transporting Lv3
