Some of the changes to Ranch Pals in Palworld 1.0 included new items dropped, new partner skill upgrades, and new passive abilities. This left many players wondering which Pals are now the best for running a ranch and whether the new Farm Hand passives are worth using. In this guide, we’ll show you the best Ranch Pal build, show which passive skills actually improve production, and highlight the best Ranch Pals to use for collecting valuable resources.
Best Ranch Pal Build in 1.0
If you want to get the most out of the ranch, then Work Speed is still the best. While the Farm Hand passives might seem helpful based on what they say, they don’t improve the production of your ranch at all. Now that Palworld 1.0 has arrived, players have begun wondering if it is now better to use the Farm Hand passive abilities, including Lavish Hospitality and Service Minded.
Passives to Use in Ranch
To maximise the output of your Ranch Pals, you should use Work Speed passives such as Artisan, Work Slave, Remarkable Craftsmanship and Demon’s Hand. This is because these passives will allow your Ranch Pals to complete their jobs faster and thus increase the total number of items produced. However, you should ignore those passives such as Lavish Hospitality and Service-Minded since they will not contribute to your item farming at all.
All Ranch Pals and their drops
There were several Pals added or improved as part of Palworld 1.0 that work well for the ranch. They are:
- Woolipop Terra – Produces Caramel Cotton Candy for late-game recipes.
- Beegarde – Still the best source of Honey.
- Dumud – Continues producing High Quality Pal Oil.
- Sparkit – Now produces Electric Organs.
- Shroomer – Produces Mushrooms and Cavern Mushrooms.
- Foxcicle – Produces Ice Organs and also boosts Ice attacks.
- Kelpsea – Produces Pal Fluids and boosts Water attacks.
- Kelpsea Ignis – Produces Flame Organs while boosting Fire attacks.
- Depresso – Produces Venom Glands and can greatly increase its own movement and work speed as a party Pal.
- Kikit – Produces Bones and grants Night Vision when used as a partner.
- Mozzarina – Still the best source of Milk.
- Caprity – Produces Red Berries and restores the hunger of your party Pals.
- Lamball – Produces Wool.
- Chikipi – Produces Eggs.
- Mau and Mau Cryst – Produce Gold Coins and Ice Organs, respectively.
Overall, the classic Ranch Pals are still useful, but several of the new additions make gathering late-game materials much easier.
