Who are the Best Miners in Palworld?

Our top choice for the best Mining Pal is Dumud, by a long shot. Several Pals are good at mining, and it is a useful skill to have Pals help out with on your base. This work suitability skill is very much needed around camp since it is one of the main ways you can passively collect Stone and Ore while you’re off galavanting. These Pals are our picks for the best Mining Pals:

1. Dumud
2. Reptyro & Ice Reptyro
3. Digtoise
4. Penking
5. Mammorest
6. Tombat
7. Anubis

These Pals are great at the job and can get it done quickly. Rushoar, Reptyro, Menasting, Lovander, Depresso, Incineram Noct, Maraith and others are strong mining Pals as well. Let’s break down what makes them great and where you can find them.

Exploring Best Pal for Mining in Palworld

Dumud

• Element: Ground
• Partner Skill: Soil Improver
• Work Suitability: Transporting Lv 1, Watering Lv 1, Mining Lv 2

Dumud has a mining skill of two meaning it can gather items from rocks very quickly compared to early-game Pals. Unfortunately, you need to travel a bit to get this Pal. You will find Dumud in the northern desert section of the map which is to the east of the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant.

You will find plenty of Dumud around this area along with one other great miner on our list. We have a guide on how to catch Dumud containing more information, so make sure you give it a read.

Reptyro & Ice Reptyro

• Type: Fire and Ground or Ice and Ground
• Partner Skill: Ore-loving beast or Ice-loving beast
• Work Suitability: Both have mining level 3 and either kindling or cooling level 3

Both versions of Reptyro are very powerful Pals that deserve to be on the Pal tier list. Along with that, they both have mining level 3, allowing them to break apart ore, coal, or sulfur quickly. Both of these Pals also increase your efficiency of mining ores while you are using them as a mount.

Digtoise

• Element: Ground
• Partner Skill: Drill Crusher
• Work Suitability: Mining Lv 3

Digtoise, the Palworld turtle, is the best Pal when it comes to digging and mining. This is because it is the only Pal with a mining trait at level three. This turtle-like Pal can rip through rock thanks to its many spikes, getting you tons of stone and ore in return. Like Dumud, you will find Digtoise in the northern desert section of the map near the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant.

Ore Farming

You can farm ore using Digtoise by collecting multiple of this Pal and releasing them near piles of ore. Doing this can get you a massive amount of ore in a short period of time.

Penking

• Element: Water, Ice
• Partner Skill: Brave Sailor
• Work Suitability: Watering Lv 2, Handiwork Lv 2, Mining Lv 2, Cooling Lv 2, Transporting Lv 2

Penking is a water and ice-type Pal that is very strong and has a mining skill of two. You can obtain Penking from the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings dungeon. This dungeon can be completed multiple times to get multiple of this Pal. This is also a good way to get experience and level up. Penking is slightly better than other Pals on the list because it comes with many other skills that help around camp.

Mammorest

• Element: Grass
• Partner Skill: Gaia Crusher
• Work Suitability: Planting Lv 2, Lumbering Lv 2, Mining Lv 2

Mammorest is a powerful mid-game Pal that you will find around levels 25 to 35. It is a massive beast that can easily help you destroy ore. Its skill, Gaia Crusher, allows you to destroy ore incredibly fast with a single move. Like most great Pals, however, you will need to wait a bit to catch Mammorest.

Tombat

• Element: Dark
• Partner Skill: Ultrasonic Sensor
• Work Suitability: Gathering Lv 2, Mining Lv 2, Transporting Lv 2

The final Pal on the list is Tombat. This Pal can be found at night early on in the game. You might spot a couple of this Pal flying around. Thanks to this Pal being able to be caught early on, you can start farming for stone and ore quickly. Tombat also comes with gathering and transporting skills, giving it a wider range of skills than other Pals.

Anubis

Anubis is a very late-game Pal that you can get earlier in the game through breeding. This Pal is great to have around your camp thanks to its level three mining skill and its level four handiwork skill. When it isn’t busy getting you a lot of ore and stone, you can use this pal to craft some high-quality items.

While these might be the best, that doesn’t mean others can’t be useful too. Pals like Astegon, Anubis, Cattiva, Quivern and Mammorest can all do a great job at mining as well, so don’t look past them. Basically, if they have at least a Level 2 Mining work suitability, they’ll be good to go. This Pal is arguably the best miner Palworld has available.

Who are the best ground-type Pals in Palworld?

In terms of strength, the following ground-type Pals are the strongest in Palworld:

1. Anubis
2. Menasting
3. Robinquill Terra
4. Warsect
5. Ice Reptyro
6. Digtoise
7. Eikthyrdeer Terra

Each of these Pals is very strong and, if you want a ground-type Pal on your team, should be added to the party as soon as possible. Anubis is one of the strongest Pals in the game and Menasting is up there with being a ground/dark-type Pal.

What is mining used for in Palworld?

Mining is mainly used to find Ore deposits, a resource that can be processed into Ingots once you have the Primitive Furnace unlocked, which can then be used to craft new items like weapons. Ores can be found by having you and your Pals mine in areas like the Stone Pits. It’s also the best way to consistently find Paldium Fragments with the best miner Palworld has.
