Best Pals for Handiwork in Palworld

I was surprised to discover only a single Pal with Handiwork Level 4 in the game. As such, if you are to catch an Anubis or two, assign them to Handiwork tasks back at your base for the utmost efficiency. If you’d rather not waste an Anubis’ skills, then there’s nothing wrong with opting for the A-Tier Pals, such as Lyleen or Verdash!

There is a surprising number of Pals capable of Handiwork in the game, with a few other options in the C-Tier including:

  • Warsect
  • Bushi
  • Quivern
  • Flambelle
  • Gorirat
  • Ribbuny
  • Leezpunk

But for the early game, you’ll find and catch an abundance of Lifmunk and Tanzee in and around the starting zone.

How to Manually Assign Pals to Handiwork

While many Pals, when left to their own devices, will automatically tackle a job they’re capable of completing, like Handiwork, you may wish to assign your workforce manually. To assign Pals to Handiwork, stop by your base and pick up one of the working Pals. You can then toss them at a crafting workbench to assign them to any crafting task you have in the queue.

One item you should have your Pals craft for you is a Musket. It’s the earliest firearm in the game and a noticeable bump to your power.
