Best Palworld Mining Pals
Here are our rankings of the best Mining Pals in Palworld:
| Tier | Pal |
|---|---|
| S-tier | Astegon |
| A-tier | Anubis, Blazamut |
| B-tier | Penking, Dumud, Tombat, Mammorest |
Astegon is the all-time best Mining Pal in Palworld, with a Mining Work Suitability of Level 4, which is the maximum. This Dark Dragon Pal is an elusive catch, however, and most players are likely to only have a chance to capture Astegon at Level 48 in the Destroyed Mineshaft.
Other endgame Pals with a Level 3 in Mining include Anubis and Blazamut. Both of these are great choices for getting lots of tasks done at your base, since Blazamut also made our list of the best Pals for Kindling, while Anubis topped our guide to the best Pals for Handiwork.
If you're looking for miners in Palworld's early and mid game, Penking, Dumud, Tombat, and Mammorest - which all newbie players starting at the Plateau of Beginnings will run into quite quickly - are all solid options, with each possessing a Level 2 Mining score. If you're not able to capture any of those, you can still mine a lot of ore with just Cattiva, Fuddler, and Rushoar, all of whom are very accessible Pals at the start of Palworld.
