How the handiwork list breaks down

109 of the 299 Pals in Palworld 1.0 can do handiwork at a base, about 36% of them. The highest suitability level any of them reaches is 8, and 1 Pal reaches it.

The table below is every one of them, ordered by suitability level, then by base work speed, then by Paldeck number. Two Pals on the same level are separated by the stat that changes how much work gets done per unit of time, not by an opinion about which one to use.

Level distribution: 1 at level 8, 1 at level 7, 11 at level 6, 8 at level 5, 12 at level 4, 25 at level 3, 28 at level 2, 23 at level 1. A level is a capability, not a rate — a Pal with a higher level unlocks work a lower-level Pal cannot do at all, which is why the level column outranks the speed column here.

Every level here comes from the same dataset the build checker uses, so a number on this page and a number on a Pal's own page cannot disagree. Work suitability is a property of the species: it is not inherited, not rolled at hatch and not changed by a passive, which is why breeding for it means breeding for the species.

By element, the 109 handiwork Pals break down as Dark 37, Grass 28, Fire 18, Water 14, and others — Dark is the largest group at 34% of the list. Elements do not change work suitability; they are here because they decide what a Pal survives, which is the second question anyone picking a base worker asks. Rarity across the same group runs 1 to 20, so a high level does not by itself mean a hard Pal to obtain.

Related questions

What handiwork level do most Pals have in Palworld 1.0?

Level 2, which 28 of the 109 handiwork Pals sit on. The full spread is 1 at level 8, 1 at level 7, 11 at level 6, 8 at level 5, 12 at level 4, 25 at level 3, 28 at level 2, 23 at level 1. A level is a capability rather than a rate: a higher level unlocks work a lower one cannot do at all.

Can breeding give a Pal handiwork suitability it does not already have?

No. Work suitability is a property of the species: it is not inherited, not rolled at hatch and not granted by a passive skill. Breeding for a handiwork worker means breeding for one of the 109 species on this list, not for the trait.

How current is this handiwork ranking?

Every level and speed on this page comes from sourced Palworld data for 1.0, last verified 2026-08-25. It is the same data the build checker reads, so a number here and a number on a Pal's own page cannot disagree.
