Recommended Crafting Base Composition
This is the optimal slot lineup for a dedicated crafting and production base. The composition maximises Handiwork throughput while covering medicine, smelting, power, and logistics so your production lines never stall.
Role Breakdown: What Each Pal Does
A crafting base has layered roles: handiwork, medicine production, smelting, power, and logistics. Each Pal below is chosen because it fills its role at the highest level available while ideally providing secondary utility.
Handiwork (Primary)
SolenneCrafts items at workbenches at maximum speed. The core role of any production base.
Solenne has Handiwork 8 + Gathering 4 — the highest Handiwork in the game. It crafts faster than any other Pal, making it the number one choice for your primary crafter slot.
Handiwork + Mining
AnubisCrafts at workbenches and mines ore — a versatile hybrid for production bases that also process raw materials.
Anubis has Handiwork 6 + Mining 6 + Transporting 4 — the best hybrid worker in the game. It crafts, mines, and transports, filling three roles in one slot.
Medicine
SilvanceProduces medicine at the Medieval Medicine Workbench. Essential for healing supplies and certain advanced recipes.
Silvance has Medicine 8 + Planting 6 + Handiwork 6 — the best medicine producer in the game. It also contributes strong Handiwork and Planting when not producing medicine.
Electricity
OrserkGenerates power for electric workbenches and production equipment.
Orserk has Generating Electricity 8 + Handiwork 4 — the best power worker by far. Essential for late-game electric production lines. Also contributes Handiwork when generators are fully charged.
Transport
Wumpo BotanMoves crafted items and raw materials between workbenches and storage chests efficiently.
Wumpo Botan has Transporting 6 + Lumbering 5. Its high transport level ensures finished products and raw materials never pile up, keeping your production line flowing.
Kindling
RenjishiPowers furnaces for smelting ingots and cooking. Critical for bases that refine raw ore into crafting materials.
Renjishi has Kindling 8 + Handiwork 6 — the best fire worker that also crafts. It smelts at maximum speed and contributes Handiwork when furnaces are idle.
Best Passive Skills for Crafting Workers
Crafting Pals benefit from the same general worker passive builds as any other base type. The goal is to maximise work speed and minimise downtime from sleeping. For endgame, Demon's Hand (+30% Work Speed, -5% Attack) is the single best passive for crafting workers since the attack penalty is irrelevant for base Pals. Below are all four recommended builds from most powerful to most accessible.
Max Work Speed
Fastest possible crafting
Accessible
No Legendary passives needed
Works Overnight
Never sleeps
Low Upkeep
Minimal hunger and SAN drain
Breeding tip: Solenne, Anubis, and Renjishi are all breedable, meaning you can produce multiple copies with optimal passives. For the accessible build, target Artisan, Serious, Lucky, and Workaholic — all four are common enough to breed efficiently. For endgame, breed for Demon's Hand alongside Artisan and Serious for maximum crafting speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best crafting Pal in Palworld?
Solenne (Handiwork 8 + Gathering 4) is the best crafting Pal in the game — it has the highest Handiwork level, making it the fastest crafter at any workbench. For a hybrid option, Anubis (Handiwork 6 + Mining 6 + Transporting 4) is excellent because it also mines and transports. Silvance (Medicine 8 + Planting 6 + Handiwork 6) is the best choice if you need medicine production alongside crafting.
What is the best handiwork Pal in Palworld?
Solenne has the highest Handiwork at level 8. Selyne (Handiwork 7) is the next best option. Anubis (Handiwork 6 + Mining 6) is excellent for bases that need both crafting and mining. Renjishi (Kindling 8 + Handiwork 6) and Silvance (Medicine 8 + Handiwork 6) also contribute strong Handiwork alongside their primary roles.
What are the best passives for crafting workers?
For endgame crafting Pals, Demon's Hand (+90% Work Speed, S-rank) is the single best passive. The optimal endgame build is Demon's Hand, Remarkable Craftsmanship, Artisan, and Serious. For a no-downside accessible build, use Artisan, Serious, Lucky, and Workaholic.
Is Solenne or Selyne better for a crafting base?
Solenne (Handiwork 8 + Gathering 4) is better for pure crafting speed — it has the highest Handiwork in the game. Selyne (Handiwork 7) is still excellent but one level lower. If you can only get one, prioritise Solenne for your primary crafter slot. Ideally, use both in a dedicated production base for maximum throughput.
