Best Gathering Pals
109 Pals in Palworld 1.0 can do Gathering. Here they are ranked by level, then work speed, with what each one eats and where to find it.
Gathering Pals harvest crops and pick up resources like berries and wool-bearing bushes. Without them, ripe plantations simply sit there.
Top picks
- Best overall: Jetragon with Gathering level 8.
- Early game: Nitewing (Lv 2, from area Lv 13), Tombat (Lv 2, from area Lv 13).
- Best all-rounders: Beegarde (7 jobs), Vaelet (6 jobs), Robinquill (6 jobs). Good when base slots are tight.
- Specialists: Jetragon, Starryon Primo, Frostallion Noct only do Gathering, so they never wander off to other tasks.
Tips
- Gathering is common, so prioritise Pals that pair it with a rarer job.
- A fast gatherer and a fast transporter together keep storage full without you lifting a finger.
- Passive skills like Artisan (+50% work speed) stack on top of a Pal's level. See the passive skills guide for breeding them on.

Food is how much the Pal eats (higher means hungrier). Area levels are the recommended level of the area where the Pal lives, a rough guide to how early you can catch it.
