Best Pals for Gathering in Palworld 1.0

It isn't a fancy job, but Gathering is what keeps your Pals supplied with enough food to sustain itself. Without a few Pals to harvest crops and place them in the Pal Feeder, your hard workers will starve and eventually faint.

With that in mind, you'll likely want at least two Pals with the highest Gathering level to make a self-sustaining base in Palworld. We've explored the entire Palworld map and researched all Pals in the Paldeck to find out if there are any that are better than some top candidates found in the early game. Here, then, are the best Palworld Gathering Pals and where to find them.

The best Gathering Pal is Jetragon, as it has the highest base stat for the job in the game.

You can find Jetragon on the floating islands of Sunreach, which, as you may have guessed, is well into the endgame of Palworld. If you want the absolute best for the job, though, heading there and capturing the boss is the way to go.

A Nitewing is an eagle like bird with dark feathers. It's one of the best Palworld Gathering Pals.

Best focused Gathering Pal

Our picks for this category are either Nitewing or Grintale. These two only have one work suitability, meaning it's heavily focused on harvesting as much stuff as possible and won't get distracted with other odd jobs around the base.

The Verdash is a green cat-like creature that's one of the best Palworld Gathering Pals.

Best multitasking Gathering Pal

The best multitasking Gathering Pal is Verdash because it can adapt to its other work in a pinch. It has work suitability in Planting, Gathering, Lumbering, Transporting, and Handiwork, making it a one-Pal base machine.

A Chikipi in Palworld, one of the best Gathering Pals, is just a chicken.

Best early game Gathering Pal

There's no wrong answer for the best Gathering Pal early on, but due to a lack of other responsibilities, we'd go with Chikipi. It's among the first you'll meet, and you can even send it to the ranch to lay eggs, which are a great option for early-game Palworld cooking.

Now that you have some of the best Palworld Gathering Pals supporting your Palworld base with ample food stocks, you may also want to look into investing in other lines of work. We recommend grabbing the best Palworld Kindling Pals to help cook the food you harvest or the best Palworld Handiwork Pals to help keep your Palworld weapons stocked with ammo.
