Best Watering Pals
46 Pals Β· by max-build effective work amount (ties: level, then rarity)Facilities that use Watering
Watering +1 supporters
While this Pal is at the base, every other Pal at that base gets Watering 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 Watering
Korean players treat the Jellroy + Jelliette pair (each gets +50β120% Watering when both are at the base) as the answer; English threads more often name high-level Pals like Shaolong (8), Jormuntide or Neptilius (7).
- Water/Dark, so it works nights. Watering 2 eats handbooks, but paired with Jelliette it is said to outpace Lv10 Pals.
- The effect does not stack, so one is enough; players switch off its other jobs.
- Top natural Watering (8), and a strong flying mount too.
- Watering 7 is its only job, so condensing reaches 10.
- Watering 6 and Transport 5; β 4 gives 9 and Amione's +1 makes 10.
- Does Kindling and Watering 5 at once.
Supporter: Amione (+1 Watering). An overheating Ancient Power Generator needs a Watering Pal, which is why Solmora Lux (Watering 4, Electricity 6) is popular.

Base = condenser β 0 with no passives (base tier also weighs nocturnal). Max build = condenser β 4 (raises the level), the best work passives β four for nocturnal Pals, three plus Insomnia for the rest β and the Pal's own partner skill bonus. β = partner bonus that needs a facility or companion (ranked with it met).

Mining 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 |

| 4~5 | top three +2, the rest +1 |
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.

Candidates: work passives the data says a Pal can get (wild Pals, Lucky Pals, World Tree Pals, surgery implants).
