Palworld Beginner Guide — What to Do First, Level by Level

Palworld's first hours have a clear order once you see it: Palbox and Pal Spheres, then a Feed Box and beds, then the Pal Gear Workbench, Logging Site and Stone Pit, the Statue of Power, and the Primitive Furnace and Egg Incubator around level 10, with the first tower boss (level 10 on Normal) as the milestone. This guide lays that order out as a level-by-level table, then covers which early Pals to catch, where to put the first base, where stat points go, and the early mistakes worth avoiding.

Palworld Automation Guide — Best Worker Pals and Production Chains

Automation in Palworld means your Pals extract raw materials, run the stations that process them, and carry the results to storage while you are away. You still queue the crafts; the Pals do the work. This guide covers the best worker Pal for each work suitability in 1.0, the four chains worth automating (ore, wood, crops and cake), transport and storage, splitting four bases by role, and the mistakes that stall a base.

Guide

Palworld Base Building Guide — Base Level, Layout and Worker Pals

A Palworld base is a 35 m cylinder around the Palbox where your Pals work while you explore. How much it can do depends on its base level, where you put it, how you lay it out and which Pals you assign. This guide covers the 1.0 base level milestones (more workers, second to fourth base), choosing a site, a layout that keeps Pals working instead of wandering, the right worker for each job, sanity, hunger and illness, and the reworked wave-based raids.

Guide

Palworld Breeding Guide — How It Works, Best Combos and Passive Inheritance

Breeding is how you turn ordinary Pals into perfect ones. Two parents at a Breeding Farm, fed with cake, produce an egg whose species follows a predictable formula and whose passive skills are drawn from both parents. This guide explains the setup, how the child species is decided, the special combinations, the real odds of passing on passive skills, and the step-by-step method players use to stack four ideal passives on one Pal.

Tips

Palworld Strongest Pals Tier List — Best Combat, Worker and Mount Pals in 1.0

The strongest Pal in Palworld depends on the job. In version 1.0, Jetragon, Frostallion, Necromus and Jormuntide Ignis lead combat, Anubis is still the worker to build a base around, and Jetragon and Panthalus are the fastest flying mounts. This tier list ranks combat Pals, workers and mounts separately, with element, base stats and reworked 1.0 partner skills, how to get the top picks, a pick for every element, and picks for each stage.
