Palworld: Beegarde covers 7 jobs, Dandilord scores 28 total suitability
“Versatile base Pal” can mean two different things: a Pal that covers many job types, or a Pal whose suitability levels run high across the board. Both help, but they solve different problems. The two lists below come from our Paldeck data on all 299 Pals.
Ranked by job count
More job types on one Pal means fewer empty slots at your base. The leaders:
| Pal | Job types | Breakdown (suitability level) |
|---|---|---|
| Beegarde | 7 | Planting 2, handiwork 2, gathering 3, lumbering 2, medicine production 2, transporting 2, farming 3 |
| Vaelet | 6 | Planting 3, handiwork 3, gathering 3, medicine production 3, transporting 2, farming 2 |
| Robinquill | 6 | Planting 2, handiwork 3, gathering 3, lumbering 2, medicine production 1, transporting 2 |
Beegarde tops the count at 7, but each individual rating caps around level 2 to 3, so none of its jobs finish quickly. It fits a small base short on hands, where you need one Pal to patch several open slots at once. Beegarde also produces honey, so parking it at the farm covers that job while it picks up others on the side.
Ranked by total suitability level
The other kind of “versatile” trades job count for depth, and that shows up in raw output. Ranked by summed level:
| Pal | Total level | Breakdown (suitability level) |
|---|---|---|
| Dandilord | 28 | Planting 8, handiwork 6, gathering 5, medicine production 6, transporting 3 |
| Silvance | 26 | Planting 6, handiwork 6, gathering 4, medicine production 8, transporting 2 |
| Dualith | 23 | Lumbering 5, mining 6, transporting 6, planting 3, gathering 3 |
| Verdash | 20 | Planting 4, handiwork 5, gathering 5, lumbering 3, transporting 3 |
Dandilord carries planting at level 8 while handiwork, medicine production, and gathering all stay strong too. One Pal can run most of your farm loop, so you can hand food and medicine production to the same worker. Dualith leans a different direction, with mining 6, transporting 6, and lumbering 5 built for gathering and hauling raw materials.
Slots first, or speed first?
Which list to use depends on where your base stands.
Slots stay limited no matter how big your base gets. Early on, before you have room to spare, a Beegarde-style generalist saves headcount and keeps things simple. Once you expand and slots open up, level 8 specialists per job finish work faster than any generalist. Only 10 out of 299 Pals reach suitability level 8, and we cover those specifically in a separate guide.
Food consumption matters as much as speed for a work Pal. A high suitability level does nothing for you if a big eater drains your storage, so weigh appetite alongside the tables above. Our mid-game base roster guide picks up from here with a slot-by-slot lineup.
You can look up any Pal’s full suitability list on its Paldeck page, or work backward from a job using our work suitability tool.
FAQ
- Which base Pal covers the most job types in Palworld?
- Beegarde covers 7: planting, handiwork, gathering, lumbering, medicine production, transporting, and farming. Vaelet and Robinquill follow with 6 each. Most of Beegarde individual ratings sit at level 2 to 3, so it works best when you need one Pal to fill a lot of empty slots (our Paldeck data).
- Which Pal has the highest total work suitability level?
- Dandilord tops the list at 28: planting 8, handiwork 6, medicine production 6, gathering 5, transporting 3. Silvance follows at 26, with medicine production 8 and planting 6 among others. Fewer job types, but each one runs deep enough to move real output.
- Job count or suitability level, which should I prioritize?
- Go with job count when base slots are tight, and with high levels once you want more output per Pal. Slots stay limited early on, so a jack-of-all-trades type like Beegarde saves headcount at first. Once you expand, swap in level 8 specialists per job.
- Versatile Pals versus specialists, which wins?
- They solve different problems. Versatile Pals save you slots. Specialists finish one job faster. If speed is the goal, the level 8 specialists (10 out of 299 Pals) win, and we cover those in a separate guide.
