How the kindling list breaks down

44 of the 299 Pals in Palworld v1.0.3 can do kindling at a base, about 15% 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, 3 at level 7, 4 at level 6, 7 at level 5, 9 at level 4, 8 at level 3, 7 at level 2, 5 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 44 kindling Pals break down as Fire 43, Dark 11, Dragon 4, Water 4, and others — Fire is the largest group at 98% 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 10, so a high level does not by itself mean a hard Pal to obtain.
