In Palworld 1.0, optimizing your base's food production relies heavily on your choice of Planting Pals. Higher Work Suitability levels allow your team to sow seeds more quickly, keeping your berry and wheat farms operating without downtime.
Top-Tier Planting Pals
Pals are ranked by their Planting Work Suitability level, which directly dictates their efficiency. As you transition from the early game to late-game base management, you should prioritize Pals with higher levels to minimize the time spent on farm maintenance.
| Pal Name | Planting Level |
|---|---|
| Dandilord | Level 8 |
| Ophydia | Level 7 |
| Lyleen | Level 7 |
| Prunelia | Level 3 |
| Broncherry | Level 3 |
| Petallia | Level 3 |
The Best Planting Pal: Dandilord
Dandilord is the most efficient planter available, as the only Pal with a level eight Planting stat. Found as an Alpha boss in the World Tree area, it is highly versatile, also boasting level six Handiwork and Medicine Production, as well as level five Gathering and level eight Transporting.
Best Single-Skill Planter: Broncherry
If you need a dedicated gardener that won't wander off to perform other tasks, Broncherry is the best choice. It features level three Planting and no other Work Suitabilities, ensuring your seeds are always the priority.
Early-Game Recommendations
For players just starting their Palworld journey, these Pals are easily accessible near the starting area and the path to the Rayne Syndicate Tower:
- Lifmunk: Highly versatile with level one Planting and four other Work Suitabilities.
- Tanzee: Useful for early automation, featuring level one Planting, Gathering, and Transporting.
- Gumoss: A focused early-game option that only performs Planting, preventing it from getting distracted by other base jobs.
Note: While higher Planting levels improve sowing speed, remember that your farm's total throughput depends on having Pals assigned to Watering and Gathering tasks as well.
