Best Palworld Pals for Handiwork

Palworld was quickly dismissed as yet another Pokemon ripoff, but the game made it clear it had much bigger ambitions. Guns may be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about the things that make Palworld unique, but the ability to make your Pals work comes close second.

Your base can only succeed if you have the right combination of Pals working there. With 12 possible jobs, you’ll need to be careful when choosing which Pals to put to work. This guide focuses on Handiwork. Check out our Best Palworld Pal Tier list for the complete overview.

What is Handiwork for

Handiwork involves using Strength to produce and craft items. You’ll see Handiwork being needed when crafting items on a Workbench. You can either use a Pal for Handiwork or just press F on the Workbench yourself in order to get your item crafted yourself.
