Keep in mind that some friends may be located in further areas or initially at a higher level. Keep an eye out for large eggs as you explore, as they may provide you with valuable workers, such as Penking (from the Big Wet Egg) and Tombat (from the Big Black Egg).
Your best friend in the early to mid game
When starting your journey through Palworld, it’s wise to capture various friends to level up quickly. However, focusing on specific companions in the early to mid-game (before level 30) can significantly strengthen your team and increase base efficiency.

Axel Deer: Your trustworthy mount
The Eikthyrdeer is a neutral companion with large antlers that makes an excellent early game mount. Exedil’s “Antlers Uppercut” allows you to double jump while riding and improve tree-cutting efficiency. It not only deals damage but also increases movement speed. This makes it great for traveling and helping grab other friends and knock them out.
Vanwyrm: Soar to the Sky
Meeting Van Dragon as your second flying mount is a game changer. Its “Aerial Predator” skill not only allows you to ride it, but also increases the damage you deal to enemy weak points while riding. It is recommended to switch to Vanwyrm at level 21 for enhanced combat performance and easier exploration.
Quivern: Combat Versatility on the Fly
For combat enthusiasts, Quivern, the dragon companion, is a good choice. Kuiwen has skills such as “Dragon Breath”, “Acid Rain”, and “Grass Tornado”, providing a variety of attack options. Although it is a level 23 spawning boss, fighting it in the Sanctuary Islands is a practical way to add this combat-savvy companion to your team.

Katress: Dominate the battle with drops
Katress is a dark companion who brings strength and utility to your team. With its powerful dark attacks, it becomes extremely valuable in combat. Its partner skill, Grimoire Collector, increases the items dropped by defeated neutral partners, making it an asset for gathering important resources early in the game.
Warsect: Defense and fire damage increased
Warsect is a giant ground/grass beetle that excels in both attack and defense. When fighting alongside Wargate, your defense increases and your attacks take fire damage. This combination of defensive capabilities makes Warsect a valuable partner for the team’s long-term sustainability.
Best partner for your base
In addition to combat-focused companions, finding the right companions for your base early on is crucial to efficiency and productivity.

Vixy: Mining successful
Vixy, a neutral friend with the “dig here!” skill, plays a vital role in gathering resources for your base. When assigned to a pasture, Vixy digs items from the ground, providing you with Pal Orbs and Arrowheads. It is recommended to purchase two Vixys for your ranch as early as possible to aid progression and upgrades.
Tombat: Mining, gathering and transportation experts
Tombat is a Dark-type companion who proves to be invaluable to your base operations. Tombat provides Rank 2 mining, gathering and transportation functions, which can effectively break down ore and transport it. Capturing the Overlords in the starting area at night ensures a steady supply of necessary resources for your base.
Mossanda: Complete multiple tasks with ease
Mossanda is a grass-type companion that brings versatility to your basic tasks. Mosanda has secondary planting, crafting, and logging abilities, as well as third-level transportation capabilities, and is good at a variety of activities. While locating the Northeast at sea is more challenging, the acquisition of Mosanda could increase the efficiency of base operations.

Wixen: Production and shipping assistance
Wixen is a fire-type friend and one of the first friends to provide level 3 crafts. With additional level 2 ignition and transport capabilities, Wixen plays a vital role in ingot production and item transport. While rare, placing Wixon in the large volcanic fissure in the northeastern part of the map can increase your base’s productivity.
Digitoise: Master of Mining
Digtorvaz is a surface-based companion who is good at mining and has excellent level 3 mining capabilities. Its companion skill “Drill Crusher” makes mining incredibly fast. Digtoise is located in the middle of the map, near coordinates -158 and -71, making it an important asset for efficiently collecting ore for the base. In situations where Digtoise is unavailable, temporary use of Rushoar provides a smaller but effective ability to mine rock more quickly once installed.

Youwo Development
Palworld is developed and published by Pocket Pair, an independent company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The game, their second early access open world survival project after Craftopia, draws inspiration from popular games like Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, incorporating familiar gameplay mechanics.

Pocket Pair CEO Takuro Mizobe said the concept for Palworld originated from “Ark: Survival Evolved,” a game that featured monster companions in the form of dinosaurs. Survival mechanics and in-game quests are inspired by Rust, while creature design is influenced by the Dragon Quest series. It’s worth noting that early in development we decided to switch from Unity, the engine behind Pocket Pair’s early projects, to Unreal Engine. The development process was monumental, with the game’s budget exceeding 1 billion yen, and the company hiring more than 40 additional employees to expand the team for this ambitious project.
