To achieve a well-functioning base in Palworld, you need the best Gathering Pals with the right Work Suitability for each of the essential tasks like planting, mining gathering, etc. That is how you increase your resources.
Gathering is a work suitability trait and one of the most vital to tend to your farming needs. Pals with this trait will tend to your crops and harvest them when ripe.
Even among Pals with the same work suitability, you will find that different Pals have different levels of the same Work Suitability.
On top of that, some Pals have multiple work suitability. These kinds of Pals are great to have on base as they are the jacks of all trades. However, they are easily distracted and will often leave one task half-done to start working on another.
10. Cattiva
Cattiva is the best gathering Pal for early-game in Palworld. It is one of the most common Pals and can be found in spades near the spawn.
Cattiva has multiple work suitability traits including Gathering, Handiwork, Mining, and Transporting. making it an all-rounder at the base. All its traits are Level 1 but they are still useful during the early parts of the game.
Having a Cattiva in your base will be enough to keep the gathering function of your base going for the earlier levels. Because of its multiple Work Suitabilities, however, it will be easily distracted and you will have to manually assign it to the gathering task by lifting and throwing it near the said task.
9. Tanzee
Tanzee also comes in the same category as the Cattiva. Apart from its level 1 Gathering trait, it has one more Work Suitability that gives it the upper hand against Cattiva – the level 1 Planting trait.
The main reason it is ranked higher than the Cattiva is due to its Planting skill. This enables it to be a complete farm worker by planting and harvesting the crops on its own, unlike the Cattiva which can only harvest crops due to the lack of the Planting skill.
Lastly, this Pal also comes with a level 1 Handiwork, Lumbering, and Transporting Work Suitability, which means that can serve as a great early-game Pals to use at your base. You can find this Pal in different areas of the Windswept Hills, East Wild Island, Sea Breeze Archipelago, and Ice Wind Island.
8. Robinquill
Moving on, we come to Robinquill, a decent Gathering Pal with a level 2 Gathering Work Suitability. The fact that this is a level 2 trait alone allows it to rank higher than the previous two Pals in this list.
Along with Gathring, this Pal also has a level 1 Planting skill, which means it can work as a full-fledged farming Pal as well. With Robinquill in your Paldeck, you only ever need a good Watering Pal to start growing and harvesting endless amounts of crops.
Other than the aforementioned traits, this Pal also has a level 1 Lumbring and Medicine, along with a level 2 Handiwork and Transporting Work Suitabilities, which means that it can handle almost any task assigned but is also easily distracted.
This Pal can also be found all over the Bamboo Groves area, meaning that it is very easy to find. This is another reason why it can serve as a great Gathering Pal in Palworld since it can be found early and in large numbers.
7. Vaelet
Vaelet is better than Robbinquill since it not only has a level 2 Gathering but also a level 2 Planting Work Suitability. Hence, the Pal allows you to put the Gathering trait to good use and start producing crops at a faster pace – using only two Pals for farming rather than three – the third being a Watering Pal.
Though Vaelets are indeed harder to obtain compared to the previous Pal given that they are only found as Alpha Pals or at the No.1 Wildlife Sanctuary (which you can only access via a flying mount or a water mount), the higher level tiers easily outweigh that con.
It also has a level 3 Medicine skill, along with many others, so you will never regret going through the trouble to get this Pal even if you find better ones for Gathering. Speaking of better, you should hear more about Elizabee!
6. Elizabee
Up next, we have Elizabee with level 2 Gathering as well as a level 2 Planting trait. Though this Pal is harder to catch than the former two, the higher levels of Work Suitability this Pal offers easily make it a better Pal to use for Gathering.
Other than the Field Alpha Boss version, Elizabee can be found all over the Verdant Brooke area. Though this region is a bit harder, the Pal can be found in large numbers all over it, allowing you to catch many of them faster at least faster than capturing a Vaelet – and increase your Gathering workforce quickly.
Lastly, this Pal has a level 2 Handiwork and Medicine, along with a level 1 Lumbering trait, allowing you to use it to handle many other tasks as well. This gives you another reason to catch this Pal earlier on.
5. Petallia
The Petallia is an upgrade from the previous two Pals, it has Level 2 Gathering which makes for faster harvesting. On top of this, it has Level 3 Planting that makes for rapid crop planting.
Pair that with its Level 2, Handiwork, and Medicine Production, the Petallia is one of the must-have workers on your base when you progress a little into the game.
Finding it is a bit hard, they can be found on the tiny island of the No.1 Wildlife Sanctuary or in the Sealed Realm of the Spirits as a level 28 Alpha Boss. Regardless, the high levels of the traits make it worth the effort to catch.
4. Nitewing
Nitewing has the same Level 2 gathering as Petallia in Palworld but what makes this Pal different is that Gathering is its only work suitability.
This means it will stay focused on gathering alone and will not be distracted by other work on the base. It is also easier to capture a Nitewing fairly early in the game. You can find this Pal in many locations including all of the Sea Breeze Archipelago, Forgotten Island, Ice Wind Islands, Eastern Wild Island, and the Dessicated Desert.
With such a huge area to find Nitewings in, you can get your hands on many of these flying Pals early on in the game, significantly improving your Gathering trait because you will have multiple level 2 Gathering Pals.
3. Verdash
Another all-round worker and an upgrade on all the previous entries in this list, as it possesses Level 3 Gathering. This Level of Gathering is one of the highest in the game and is only beaten by the Frosttallion Noct.
This fact alone is enough to make Verdash one of the best Gathering Pals in Palworld. Other than this, it also offers a ton of other high-level Work Suitabilities like Transporting, Handiwork, and Planting, which also goes very well with the Gathering skill.
Verdash is hard to capture and you need to be around Level 40-45 to do capture the Alpha variant. It spawns around the North-Western Island called Wildlife Sanctuary No.2. and is quite far from the starting area. It is much better to fight and capture Verdash in a boss fight at the following location.
2. Jetragon
The Jetragon has a Level 3 Gathering skill. And that’s it. This unique attribute makes it one of the best crop harvesters in the game since it won’t be distracted by other tasks.
The Jetragon is the fastest flying mount in the game and can only be obtained by defeating him in a boss fight located in the far-left corner of the map.
1. Frostallion Noct
The single best Pal for gathering in Palworld is Frostallion Noct. This incredibly rare Pal has a single focus Work Suitability of gathering at level 4. This is the highest level for this trait you can acquire in the game.
Unfortunately, you cannot find this Pal in the open world but can only obtain this via breeding. You will need to crossbreed a Frostallion and a Helzephyr Pal in a breeding farm. The egg you receive from them will hatch a Frostallion Noct after incubation.
