If you’re about to head out on a mining spree inPalworld, you should know about the best Pals for mining ore or stone.
Certain Pals are better than others for helping you to mine, such as theLumbering Palswho are great for cutting trees. In this case, let’s explore which Pals you should hunt if you want to mine efficiently.

Palworld: Best Pals for mining
There are two types of Pals you want to look for here, ones with the MiningWork Suitability, and ones with Partner Skills that can help you specifically with mining. How good they are also depends on how rare they are, or what level their Mining skill is. Overall, the best Pals for mining in Palworld areAstegon and Digtoise, alongside many others.
Your level 1 Mining Pals are great forearly-game mining. You can throw Cattiva or Depresso onto a Stone Pit and have them mine stone for you at your base. But Pals such asRushoarcan increase your efficiency of destroying boulders while mounted, whileFuddlercan detect nearby ore.
Mining in Palworld at Level 2 and beyond
All the level 2 Mining Pals have a decent level for mining, but I recommend Reptyro or Digtoise more at level 3.Reptyroincreases your mining efficiency while riding them, andDigtoisecan perform Shell Spin to effectively mine ore.
Finally, at level 4,Astegonwill deal more damage to ore when mounted, making it the best Pal for mining.Blazamutalso has level 4 mining, but since Astegon’s Partner Skill can improve it even more, they’re the better option.
Another thing you can use these Pals for is working on amining base. We have a guide specifically on choosing the best spots for a mining base to put these Pals to work.
