Lumbering +1 supporters
While this Pal is at the base, every other Pal at that base gets Lumbering suitability +1 (the supporter itself is not boosted). It is the same from β 0, so condenser rank does not matter. A second copy does not add another +1.
How it is used: players pair it with Pals that reach 9 after full condensing, so supporter +1 makes 10 without spending a suitability book (community tip). Whether +1 can go past 10 is unconfirmed β the pages assume the level cap 10.
Permanent +1 for one Pal:

+1 means moving one column right in this table (game setting WorkSuitabilityDefineDataMap).
Community picks β Lumbering
Wood demand is low late game, so lumbering is a low priority. Celesdir Noct (Dark, 8) tops natural levels, and Pals with few jobs like Celesdir or Silvegis reach 10 from condensing alone.
- Top natural Lumbering (8), and Dark, so it works nights.
- Reaches Lumbering 10 from β 4 condensing alone; common in Feybreak, and players say wood never ran short.
- Kept for its partner skill (β10β15% sanity drain for base Pals) and lumbers in its spare time.
- Lumbering 6 is its only job, so condensing alone makes 10 and it never wanders to other work.
- Lumbering and Gathering 7; also a ground mount earned from a raid.
Supporter: Eikthyrdeer Terra (+1 Lumbering, also a double-jump mount).

Farming 1Nocturnal (π) Pals keep working at night. In the max build non-nocturnal Pals spend one slot on Insomnia to work at night, so they get one work passive fewer. Work amounts are the game setting amount for the level times the work speed bonus; the formula and assumptions are below. Tiers match this job's tab in the Work tier list (capturable Pals only).
Assumptions β effective work speed
Effective amount = work amount for the level Γ (1 + sum of work speed bonuses Γ· 100)
- Base: condenser β 0, no passives. Max build: condenser β 4 (raises suitability levels, rule below) + work passives + the Pal's own partner skill work bonus at β 4. In both, partner bonuses use the value for that β .
- Nocturnal: in the max build a non-nocturnal Pal spends one slot on Insomnia (1β , 10,000G at the surgery table) to work at night, so nocturnal Pals get four work passives and the rest three plus Insomnia (the community's Demon's Hand sets for night and day Pals). In the 1.0.5 data all 73 Dark Pals are nocturnal and no other Pal is. So the max-build tier has no nocturnal weight; only the base tier does.
- Stacking: work speed % from passives and partner skills is assumed to add up and then multiply once. The real formula lives in the game code and cannot be checked from data.
- Check: in the Handiwork-type table, bare Lv10 (5,400) is 1.50Γ Lv8 with Demon's Hand (1,900 Γ 1.9) β the same as the community's "Lv10 with nothing is about 1.5Γ faster than Lv8 + Demon's Hand". Levels matter more than passives.
- Level cap 10 (WorkSuitabilityMaxRank). A work suitability ticket (handbook) gives +1 per book, but how many one Pal can use is not in the data, so tickets are not scored (same for every Pal). The "at Lv10" value on work pages is a reference: the same passives and bonuses at level 10. There is no Oil Extraction ticket.
- Base work speed is 100 for every Pal, so it is not multiplied in. What the Farming level values mean (production intervalβ¦) and whether work speed passives affect ranch output are unconfirmed (the community tests are all pre-1.0 and disagree).
Condenser β work suitability level 1.0 patch notes + community tests Β· not in the game data
| Suitabilities the Pal has | Levels added at β 4 |
|---|---|
| 1 | +4 |

β 1ββ 3 each add +1 to one suitability (cycling from the highest level; ties follow the game data's suitability order) and β 4 adds +1 to all. Both the 1.0 patch-note wording and the Korean community's full-condense tests fit this rule (e.g. Renjishi Kindling 8β10, Solmora Lux Electricity 6β9 and Watering 4β6, Eidrolon Ignis Kindling 6β9 and Transporting 6β8, Frostallion Cooling 7β10). Cap 10. The +5% per β in the game settings (StatusCalculate_GenkaiToppa_PerAdd) is for HP/Attack/Defense and nothing says it applies to work speed, so it is not included.
