Best Lumbering Pals in Palworld

Celesdir Noct is the only Pal with Lumbering at level 8, out of 63 that can do the job at all. Levels are the game's own; ties are broken by base work speed, then by how much the Pal eats — nothing here is a judgement call.

The earliest you can get each level

For each Lumbering level, the Pal that appears in the wild at the lowest level — the one you can catch first rather than the one that is best on paper. Wild spawn levels are the game's spawner data; Pals that only come from breeding, eggs or alphas are not counted here.

Lumbering level	Earliest wild Pal	Wild from	Work speed	Food	Where
Lv 8	No Pal at this level spawns in the wild
Lv 7	Celesdir	Lv 54	100	8	Feybreak, World Tree
Lv 6	Cryolinx Terra	Lv 56	100	7	Feybreak
Lv 5	Mammorest Cryst	Lv 36	100	6	Snowfield, World Tree
Lv 4	Mammorest	Lv 26	100	6	Grasslands, Snowfield, World Tree
Lv 3	Dinossom	Lv 10	100	4	Desert, Grasslands
Lv 2	Eikthyrdeer	Lv 6	100	2	Grasslands, World Tree
Lv 1	Lifmunk	Lv 1	100	1	Grasslands

A higher level is not automatically the better pick. A Pal that covers a second job you need frees a base slot, and base slots are the real constraint — which is why each row also lists the other jobs it does.

Lumbering research

18 pieces of Lab research improve Lumbering. Work amount is how much research effort each takes — the game’s own figure, not a time estimate, since how fast it completes depends entirely on the Pals you assign.

All “best Pal” rankings

A Pal’s Lumbering level is not fixed for life. One handbook raises it — Applied Lumbering Handbook I— so a Pal below the top of this list can be brought up to it.
