Palworld work suitability

Quick answer

Work suitability is what a Pal can do at your base and how well. Palworld 1.0.5 has 12 jobs with levels, from Kindling to Farming. Species start at up to level 8, and condensation and Applied Handbooks raise it to a cap of 10. Pick a job to see every Pal ranked for it.

Your base runs on work suitability. Each Pal has one or more jobs, each with a level, and higher levels work faster and can handle more demanding tasks. Palworld 1.0 expanded the scale from five levels to ten, so the difference between a starter Pal and a specialist is bigger than it used to be. This hub links to a ranked list for each job: every Pal that can do it, sorted by level, with nocturnal Pals (who keep working at night) and easy early catches marked. Two things raise a Pal's work level beyond its species value. Condensation adds a level to the Pal's best job with each star, and four stars add one to every other job. Applied Handbooks add one more level to a job the Pal already has. On top of that, passives such as Artisan (+50% work speed) and Remarkable Craftsmanship (+75%) multiply the result. Oil Extraction appears in the game's job list, but no Pal has a level in it in our data, so it has no ranking. For one tiered pick per job, see the base worker tier list; for lists by use, see best Pals by use.

Oil Extraction: no Pal has this job in the Palworld 1.0.5 data, so there is no ranking for it.
