Best Handiwork Pals in Palworld 1.0
Handiwork Lv1–4 picks for crafting speed — Cattiva crews to Anubis — plus where Handiwork matters in a 1.0 base.
Updated 2026-08-03 · All guides
Why Handiwork matters
Handiwork speeds Production Assembly Lines, weapon/armor crafts, and many workbenches. One Handiwork 4 Anubis often replaces a crowd of early crafters.
Best by stage
Progress your crafting crew like this:
- Early: Cattiva — Handiwork 1 with Mining/Transport utility
- Mid: Penking and other multi-skill crafters while you push desert/volcano
- Best: Anubis — Handiwork 4 + Mining 4 staple for 1.0 bases
- Breed Anubis once (or catch the alpha), then Anubis × Anubis for the crafting bench crew
Layout tip
Cluster Assembly Lines next to chests and assign transporters. Handiwork without hauling just makes finished goods pile on the floor.
