Beginner's guide: your first hour
Jul 8, 2026
Catch a few starters, cover the key jobs, and start breeding.
Your first hour in Palworld
New to the island? Here's the short version.
Catch a few starters
Early Pals like Lamball, Cattiva, and Chikipi are easy catches and pull their weight at your base. Check each one's work suitabilities to see what jobs they're good at.
Build a base workforce
You want a spread of jobs covered ÔÇö Kindling, Watering, Handiwork, and Transporting to start. The work planner shows the best Pals for each.
Start breeding early
Two parents make a specific child ÔÇö use the breeding calculator to plan it, or the path finder to chain your way to a Pal you want.
That's enough to get rolling. Poke around the Paldeck and figure out what to catch next.
