Best Mining Pals in Palworld (1.0 Tier List & Combos)
Automated Extraction of Ore, Coal, Sulfur & Pure Quartz
Mining allows Pals to extract stone, iron ore, coal, sulfur, and pure quartz from natural surface deposits and automated quarry structures. Level 3+ Mining is required to break large coal and quartz nodes.
Why Higher Levels Matter
Natural mineral nodes require specific minimum mining thresholds: Stone requires Level 1, Ore deposits require Level 2, while Coal and Quartz nodes require at least Level 3 Mining to harvest.
+1 Work Level via 4-Star Rank
Fusing duplicate Pals into your worker via the Pal Essence Condenser boosts stats. Reaching maximum 4-Star Rank permanently elevates all work suitabilities by +1 Level.
Nocturnal & Night Shift Workers
Standard Pals sleep through the entire in-game night, halving your base productivity. Pals with native Dark typing or the Nocturnal passive skill never sleep.
