Mining in Palworld is highly effective for obtaining new resources, and these Pals are the top choices for this task in the game.
In addition to gathering Pals for battling bosses and using them as Mounts, you can also assign them tasks at your base in Palworld. One of the most important tasks is Mining, as it provides a significant amount of Ore, a vital material for crafting.
Many Pals are capable of Mining, but certain creatures excel in this task. Therefore, we have compiled a list of recommended Pals for the job.

10 Best Friends for Mining
The following is a breakdown of the highest-ranked Pals in the S, A, and B-tiers from the aforementioned tier list. It includes information on their respective work suitability, element, and Partner Skill capabilities.
10. Mammary remnants
- Element: Grass
- Partner Skill: Gaia Crusher
- Work Suitability: Planting Level 2 / Lumbering Level 2 / Mining Level 2
Mammorest’s level two Planting and Lumbering skills, in addition to its Mining abilities, make it a valuable asset for your base.
It is not overly challenging to come across a Mammorest in Palworld, as they can be found in various regions on the map, including the northern, southeast, south, and some western areas. Although it is possible to encounter one immediately upon entering Palworld, it is improbable to capture one at a low level. To increase your chances, we suggest bringing a Grass Pal such as Mossanda or Robinquil, as Mammorest is susceptible to their attacks.
9. Quivern
- Element: Dragon
- Partner Skill: Sky Dragon’s Affection
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Level 1 / Gathering Level 2 / Mining Level 2 / Transporting Level 3
Quivern is a valuable flying mount for players as it can boost Dragon attacks while being ridden. This Pal’s versatile abilities in Handiwork, Gathering, Mining, and Transporting make it a well-rounded companion.
To locate the Alpha Pal, make your way to the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant situated on the northern side of the Bamboo Groves. Be sure to come prepared with an ample supply of Legendary Spheres and Ice-Type Pals to make the task more manageable.
8. Xenogard
- Element: Dragon
- Partner Skill: Crater Enthusiast
- Work Suitability: Mining Level 3
Xenogard possesses a Level 3 Work Suitability for Mining, making it not only a formidable Dragon-type companion, but also a valuable addition to your base for bolstering resource collection.
In order to obtain a Xenogard in Palworld, one must wait for a Meteorite Event to occur. These events happen randomly throughout the game and are not limited to specific locations, making it a challenging creature to capture. However, if you are able to locate one, having an Ice-type Pal in your team will give you an upper hand in battles.
7. Knocklem
- Element: Ground
- Partner Skill: Steel Guardian Mode
- Work Suitability: Transporting Level 4 / Mining Level 3 / Gathering Level 3
Knocklem is a recently introduced Pal in the Sakurajima update, appearing near the waterfall in the southern region. This Alpha Pal is not only proficient in Mining, but also excels in Transporting and Gathering, making it a valuable companion for any base.
Since Knocklem is a Ground-type Pal, it is vulnerable to Grass Pals. Therefore, we recommend having several Grass Pals on your team.
Egyptian Deity Anubis
- Element: Ground
- Partner Skill: Guardian of the Desert
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Level 4 / Transporting Level 2 / Mining Level 3
Anubis truly excels in its level 3 Mining skill, but it also excels in other areas such as Handiwork and Transporting. The combination of these three skills truly transforms Anubis into a useful Mining machine.
As an Alpha Pal, Anubis can only be found in one location within the game – the middle of the Twilight Dunes. Don’t forget to bring along some Legendary Spheres to increase your chances of capturing it, as well as some Grass-type Pals to make the battle more manageable.
5. Menasting
5. Menasting
- Element: Dark/Ground
- Partner Skill: Steel Scorpion
- Work Suitability: Lumbering Level 2 / Mining Level 3
Using Menasting can increase the amount of loot obtained from Electric-type enemies, thanks to its Steel Scorpion Partner Skill.
After locating it at the second Pal Wildlife Sanctuary, you can use Menasting’s abilities in both Lumbering and Mining tasks. It is worth noting that this particular Pal is susceptible to Dragon and Grass-type attacks, so it would be beneficial to have Pals of either type with you to aid in the process.
Reptyro
The Reptyro can be quite tricky to capture in the Volcanic regions.
- Element: Fire/Ground
- Partner Skill: Ore-Loving Beast
- Work Suitability: Kindling Level 3 / Mining Level 3
With a Mining skill level of 3, Reptyro is an excellent monster to use for collecting Ores. Additionally, it possesses a Kindling Skill of level 3 that is useful for refining Ingots.
A standout feature of Reptyro is its Ore-Loving Beast skill, which allows for efficient smelting and refining of Ingots. To encounter Reptyro, one must journey to the volcanic regions located in the southwestern area of the map. It is worth noting that Water-type Pals are particularly effective against Reptyro, so bringing some along is recommended.
Blazamut
- Element: Fire
- Partner Skill: Magma Kaiser
- Work Suitability: Kindling Level 3 / Mining Level 4
If you are in need of a Pal with a Kindling skill for Mining, Blazamut is an excellent choice. This enables Blazamut to refine Ingots, making it a valuable addition to your Mining team. We suggest pairing Blazamut with Anubis to create a highly effective Mining duo.
Similarly to Astegon, Blazamut is also a scarce creature. This formidable beast can be encountered either in the Scorching Mineshaft or in the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary. It is advisable to have a Water Pal such as Penking or Gobfin in your party before attempting to confront a Blazamut.
Digtoise
- Element: Ground
- Partner Skill: Drill Crusher
- Work Suitability: Mining Level 3
Digtoise possesses a distinctive Partner Skill that speeds up the mining process, making it perfect for keeping at your base and focusing on mining tasks.
Thankfully, you can encounter Digtoise relatively early in the game in the two main desert regions located on the Palpagos Islands. This Pal is vulnerable to Grass-type attacks, so be sure to bring a few Grass Pals with you when preparing for the battle.
1. Astegon
Astegon is widely regarded as the top late-game Pal for Mining in Palworld, thanks to its impressive Level 4 skill. Placing Astegon near Stone Pits is highly recommended for optimal results. However, capturing Astegon can be challenging due to its low catch rate as a boss Pal.
- Element: Dark/Dragon
- Partner Skill: Black Ankylosaur
- Work Suitability: Handiwork Level 1 / Mining Level 4
To reach Astegon, it is essential to have a Flying Pal with you, which can be conveniently obtained in the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary. Don’t forget to bring along Ice-type Pals to make the encounter more manageable.
