Detailed guide
How to get more from your Gathering Pals
Raw level is only the first decision. A focused gatherer keeps clearing mature crops, while a flexible Pal can leave the fields for Planting, Handiwork, Lumbering, Medicine Production, or Transporting work elsewhere in the base.
How Gathering suitability and Partner Skills work together
Work suitability describes a base job and its level. Partner Skills can change how a Pal supports that job, what it produces, or what it does alongside the player. Compare both before choosing a worker.
Sacred Barrier: Hartalis pairs level 7 Gathering with level 7 Lumbering. That is excellent roster compression when both jobs are useful, but available trees can redirect it from the fields.
Harvest Goddess: Lyleen can plant and gather at high levels, then help with Handiwork or Medicine Production. It is strongest when the base layout keeps those jobs close and intentional.
Dark-Nester: Roujay has level 5 Gathering and level 5 Transporting, so it can collect mature crops and help move the resulting stacks without adding unrelated jobs.

Gathering level first, base focus second
The complete directory uses the current English Pal data and sorts every Pal with Gathering suitability by base Gathering level, then Paldeck index and name. The recommendation table keeps secondary jobs visible instead of hiding them inside one score.
A higher work level improves the core job, but availability, base layout, and competing work still decide how consistently a Pal reaches the fields. The best choice can therefore differ between a dedicated farm and a mixed production base.
How to choose a Gathering Pal for your base
Start with the level, then check focus
Use Gathering level to identify the fastest workers, then compare every secondary suitability. Focused gatherers are easier to assign, while flexible Pals save roster slots.
Keep the crop loop balanced
Gathering only clears mature crops. A productive farm still needs enough Planting, Watering, and Transporting capacity to keep plots moving between harvests.
Use work filters in mixed bases
Lyleen and Verdash can cover several valuable jobs. Disable or separate unwanted facilities when harvesting is more important than their other work.
