Work Speed Scaling

Why Higher Levels Matter

When plantations finish growing, Gathering specialists immediately harvest the produce and deposit it on the ground ready for Transporting Pals to stash into feed boxes.

Level 1: 100 pts/s (1x base)
Level 2: 300 pts/s (3x speed)
Level 3: 500 pts/s (5x speed)
Level 4: 1,000 pts/s (10x speed)
Level 5: 3,000+ pts/s (30x speed)

Total duplicates required:116 Pals
Progression tiers:4 → 16 → 32 → 64
Result:Base Lv. 8 → Max Lv. 9

Frequently Asked Questions: Gathering in Palworld

Which Pal is the best at Gathering in Palworld?

Jetragon are the highest-tier Gathering specialists in Palworld with base work level 8. When fully condensed to 4 stars in the Pal Essence Condenser, their proficiency increases to Level 9.

How does work suitability level affect speed in Palworld?

Work speed scales exponentially with each suitability level, not linearly. A Level 1 worker completes tasks at 100 base work points per second, Level 2 operates at 300 points, Level 3 at 500 points, Level 4 at 1,000 points, and Level 5 at over 3,000 work points per second.

Can you increase a Pal's Gathering work suitability level?

Yes. By fusing 116 identical duplicate Pals into your worker using the Pal Essence Condenser to achieve 4-star condensation, every single work suitability on that Pal permanently increases by +1 level.

What are the best passive skills for Gathering workers?

The optimal worker build consists of Artisan (+50% Work Speed), Work Slave (+30% Work Speed), Serious (+20% Work Speed), and Lucky (+15% Work Speed), providing a combined +115% Work Speed. For non-Dark Pals, swapping Lucky for Nocturnal enables continuous 24/7 working without sleeping at night.
