Want to know which Pals in Palworld are best at Lumbering? As soon as you get started base building in Palworld, wood becomes a vital resource. You'll need it for everything, and since it's hard work to chop down all those trees yourself, why not enlist some Pals for the job?

Any Pal with Lumbering Work Suitability will serve you well at bringing down trees and ensuring that you're never lacking in carpentry materials, but some Pals are hardier wood-gatherers than others. Here's the complete rundown on the best Pals with the Lumbering skill, and our overall pick for the best Lumbering Pal.

Best Palworld Lumbering Pals

Here are our picks for the best Lumbering Pals in Palworld:

Tier Pal
S-tier Bushi, Wumpo, Wumpo Botan, Warsect
A-tier Eikthyrdeer

Bushi, Wumpo, Wumpo Botan, and Warsect are the four Pals with a Level 3 in Lumbering Work Suitability, and they're undoubtedly the most efficient lumberers in the game.

However, they're fairly stong Pals that you won't have access to until Palworld's mid-game. In the meantime, Eikthyrdeer will pick up the slack with a solid Level 2 Lumbering Work Suitability. This Pal's only skill is in Lumbering, so literally all it will do at your base is charge away at trees. Even better, you can catch an Eikthydeer fairly early and build an Eikthydeer saddle at Technology Level 12. This purple elk makes for one of the fastest mounts in Palworld's early to mid-game, so you honestly can't go wrong with capturing a few for both wood-gathering and riding.
