Someone asked how well he performs from party, so I recorded it and put it in a tweet. I should have put it in this video ._. Here you go: twitter.com/Rednu23/status/1760364328774246561

[@agiant_47]

you didn't use his skill to mine, I really wanted to see how fast he would demolish a node.

[@andreasringlstetter1719]

@@agiant_47 That makes barely a difference, except for the short cooldown his non-skill mining animation has. Either way, while in party his damage to nodes is increased by roughly factor 25-30x as a hidden bonus of the headband. In comparison, putting a Digtoise in the base is essentially worthless.

[@abseits_ger7274]

Greetings from azurobe.

[@Wortigon2000]

@@ladouceurmatt fair point, but I'd like to hear sounds in the game most of the time. Let's say I get in combat, some mob makes a sound effect while attacking, but I don't hear it, while the attack is coming from a direction I don't have on-screen at the time. Hearing what's going on in the environment is a very important part of any game, I kinda don't want to lose out on that. For similar purposes, Minecraft for example, has separate volume settings for 4 types of sounds. Also, there's a rather widely used datapack for the java edition, that gives the players the option to mute a mob's sounds. It is rather well liked in case of trading halls, and other similar locations, where a bunch of mobs are present at once, and they could cause a ton of noise.

[@litrick5471]

@Wortigon2000 you didn't have to type all that out bruh ain't Noone reading all that. But just turn the sound down when mining with digtoise and turn it back up otherwise

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

I personally use Digtoise only with Stone Pit which works fine and and I need all that Paldium in late game. This Pal is created for off base mining or Stone Pit in your base the way it is including the sound of a single Digtoise spinning makes on a Stone Pit is kinda catchy unlike his normal mining one. I generally have three bases one that is for production, ore and coal on that hilltop. The second is for breeding/agricuture and a bit of sulfur which is next to Anubis desert area. My third base is literally everything else I don't do in my previous ones like Stone Pit, Wood, Wool, Fire Organs and access to Quartz Ore.

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Diggy's strength is definitely when deployed from your party. When I need ore I go to my ore base, throw out Diggy, then go bring out 15 flying transporters (ragnahawk, helzephyr & Faleris) If I do nothing it takes about 10 minutes to clear the whole area. If I help with transporting, it takes about 5 minutes to clear the whole place out. That's ore and coal piles all gone. I know you have to be there, but the time is negligible. I have all the passives on him and he's rank 4 with souls into work speed also. He's ridiculous and I love it.

[@Duubly]

5 minutes too long, get it done in seconds with Astegon lol.

[@nifegun]

K but if you're going to do it manually at all, rushoar is legitimately better and faster. I'm not late game yet but it's wild to me that people don't use this. If you're doing any actions yourself, rushoar is a way faster miner than digtoise. Digtoise only wins when it's automated. While riding rushoar all his attacks get a massive boost against mineable resources. So if you base with iron, coal, whatever, you can hop on rushoar and ram his face into the rocks and collect your whole. Base's minerals in just a few mins, and it scales with his attack, so as you level up, he takes less hits to take out the minerals. I imagine at level 50 or with him condensed, he'll probably one shot nodes. Then if you're smart since his attack is a huge dash, you can both ram through multiple nodes at once and line up your attack to end near a chest to not get over encumbered. For real, go saddle up a rushoar and compare it. Better yet is rushoar saddle is like level 6 I think and he's found in all low level areas pretty easily. Digtoise is only the best if it's automated, if you're doing the gathering, saddle up a rushoar, he's legit better.

[@FloydMcFry]

All 5 in party you get an endless loop of drill charges

[@puppybasket3906]

lol y’all been sleeping on Diggy. Takes me a whole minute to mine my whole base and then I take him on the road. If you turn off degrading structures in the options you can build a box near all the fast travel/mining spots and do multiple nodes and just store them until you are ready to go. Don’t just enhance his work speed, enhance his attacks to full too. Breed for lucky, artisan and work slave. I added vanguard since I take him everywhere with me. Diggy Jr. is my favorite Pal 🥰

[@princekagemaru9009]

Does attack effect the amount of damage digtoise does to the nodes?

[@creater20225]

if you have him in your party and have his head band to use his skill he digs way faster by never stopping the spin

[@azurephantom100]

yeah but that isnt the point of this analysis, the point was their efficiency in base not in party. if you are going to do that you might as well use astagon as its partner skill when used as a mount, lets it do tons of damage to ore nodes. with an AOE skill like lightning strike you can one-shot or two shot multiple ore nodes with just one skill (you can use a low cooldown skill to finish off those that arent one shot even the weakest does over 1k). mammorest also works with its AOE slam exclusive skill with the bonus of working with trees as well. i will say this is with attack increasing passives and at least 2+ stars to reach the one shot range. digtoise does benefit from the workspeed passives and stars in the party too, but if timed astagon/mammorest beats digtoise due to the AOE hitting almost if not all nodes around them at the same time. digtoise beats them in base due to how pals mine ore.

Does increasing his attack stat effect the spin damage? For my aunibs he mines faster with the extra damage output

[@Rednu]

It does not

[@jayjonah2762]

since work speed doesn't affect anybody else, have you tested them with increased damage instead? i've noticed my anub i carry around with me does way more damage than my base miners. so that may be something to test if you haven't already. also not sure on the ore returned from said increase in damage. but great video :D really good info

[@Rednu]

Thanks! Attack stats or passives affecting damage or Attack have no effect on a Pal mining nodes unless you're mounting them, like Astegon. I'm not sure what you're seeing, maybe you are talking about nodes other than Copper Ore, which have different defense values?

[@MageLeaderInc]

So since work speed passives don't help other miners what if you give them the passives to lower hunger and sanity?

[@Rednu]

That will work just fine and is probably ideal.

[@Maraxion]

Great clearing that up. But do they mine when left alone now? It seems to me the biggest problem with digtoise wasn't the low node attack, getting stuck on nodes or even food intake, but the fact that coming back to a mine location and finding no or near to no ore mined. I put my mining party of perfect digtoise in storage and bread a new team of Anubis. Now all ores are gone every evening, while before barely touched. This "lazyness" seems to me is the dealbreaker of digtoise as of patch 1.4.1

[@Rednu]

I'm not too sure on their performance when unobserved.

[@BlackStarV8]

Does increasing the attack of digtoise also increase the damage output of mining the nodes?

[@azurephantom100]

i dont think it does, if it does its going to be minimal and not worth investing in.

[@marcus_w0]

At this point, you're better off taking the maxed out digtoise in your invetory and use the headband with it. destroys ores in seconds.

The point was to avoid doing the mining yourself lol.. If you're talking about headband, drop all of that and just use a lvl 5 Astegon with lightning strike.

Die difference is a Gigtoise with a headband is easy to get. An Astegon lvl 5 with lightningstrike is not.

@@borbarad2.0 I really don't see much difference between a "gigtoise" and astegon in terms of difficulty. Yes, you can get digtoise much earlier, but the by time you get all your mining online and ready for this kind of level of mining, Astegon should be just as viable. The only thing that could make it wonky is finding lightning fruit which isn't particularly hard.

What about increasing their attack damage? Does that have an effect on mining?

[@Rydax]

It could use some dedicated research, but I doubt it. I was comparing two Anubis working at my base. They were completely identical except for the passive skills. Both 100, 100, 70, 100 IVs, and the same level. One was built for maximum work. Lucky, Artisan, Serious, and Work Slave. The other one was made for combat, to be in the party. Lucky, Ferocious, Musclehead, and Burly Body. So the combat one had much higher attack damage, but the work Anubis did significantly more damage to the ore node with each attack.

[@FrignSkooter]

How did you get rid of the hard skin passive??

[@azurephantom100]

breeding. you cant change what passives they already have, but you can breed for the passives you want using palls that ether make digtoise or are a few pairs away that have the passives you want. there is a website that is interactive and lets you look at all the pal parings and what they make so you can use pals that have the passives you want then breed them down to the digtoise. its best to get two different passives on each parent for example one has artisan and lucky while the other has workslave and serious or any combination of those four, as long as each parent has just two passives each. the reason is the less passives the parents have the less likely you are to get random passives thats not on ether parent, so two is the lowest you can get to achieve all four it will still take a fair few eggs regardless.

[@James-lw3gi]

I never have issues with the base workers getting through the ore available on the day. In fact, inevitably, they'll all just be walking a round as there's none left to farm. So in that context. Anubis is the go to miner. He’ll help around the base while crafting, and more importantly, he picks up mined ore from the ground and places it in chests. Unlike the lazy digtoise.

[@alexkim9175]

Wait so digitoise is effected by work speed bonuses (passives, statue enhancements) when mining ore but all other pals are not correct?

[@Rednu]

Yes

[@Haperski]

Duckin Hell, Thank you mate. I was torn between Anubis x Digtoise for my base, and I was right all along : Reptyro Cryst for the win ! I have setup my base to allow big pals to path around, courtesy of Jormuntide Ignis. Low Maintenance : Check, Relatively Fast Mining : Check, and I dont have to 5 star them.

[@sealfighter97]

Can Earth Imperator increase the damage per tick? Just saw somwone who claims that earts imperator is the best trait on him

[@Rednu]

Hmm, it shouldn't increase his mining ability... but I never did check.

[@Justp33p]

you only have 137 of 137?? i know there is at least 139 Have you breed Frostallion Noch or Elphindran Aqua?

[@Rednu]

137 is the max, I have those.

[@NvrBst]

also keep in mind the monitoring stand do help other pals, at least in terms of the OPD column since it increases their workspeed and movespeed (so faster to run to breaks, faster running between ores, faster running to eat food and back to ore, etc).

@@CageWC don't bother my dude it's just 30% work speed and the scaling on it is horrid. You might even have a better pal, just feed it work speed food

[@cathysneider1202]

my guildmate made one with art+lucky+serious+work slave and he's being fed pizzas, but I still don't like digtoise because he still doesnt work while we are not in that base. and if it forces me to stay in base to farm it.. i just prefer to go behind desolate church and use a rocket launcher on the center of the metal node, collect everything with grappling and leave. takes way less time than staying in a base I only have for farming so i dont have anything else to do there. Anubis is still better imo. going into base and getting frame drops because of the ammount of iron in the floor is better than nothing at all.

[@turbo012]

Great test! Try another test using 4 star Digtoise with only attack% for the passive skills. Eg. Legend, lucky, ferocious. I heard the ore breaking is based on damage and so the ore should mine faster this way but not sure by how much.

[@FR099Y]

I personally use an alpha digtoise because of its size it hits 3-5 nodes at a time..depending on where you're mining. But without being able to breed the size. You'd have to be very lucky to get one with the right passives. (My current playthrough I'm only allowed to use alpha/lucky, so Im happy with. My zen mind digtoise who manually mines 5 rocks as fast as a smol one does 2)

[@Maraxion]

Hey Rednu. In terms of passives there is a lot of discussion about digtoise with work speed vs speed. Have you tested both in terms of spinning speed vs time between spins? On work speed we have things like: Artisan Lucky Serious Conceited And speed: Swift Runner Nible Legendary Etc Would be fun to know whick combo is best. I'd welcome another digtoise video if your up for it 😃 Thanks for nice content!

[@Rednu]

Movement speed has no effect on Digtoise's spins as far as I know. It's only work speed, and yeah, technically it's only affecting time between spins.

[@stolenprophet415]

what about the +mining base structure ? :)

[@Rednu]

It gives them a work speed bonus from what I'm reading. So it will have an impact on Bigtoise, but not much. Bigtoise is already practically hitting the soft cap of effectiveness.

[@twistedpixel756]

I'll still use Anubis, he's just to versatile when compared. Sure, you could use Digtoise, and he might farm 2.times the ore, but he can't do anything else, which means you have to give him a transporter, so breaking even on base pop there, but then Anubis also has incredible handiness, so anything you build, or produce also gets done, and his speed means he's already there, and finished building before anyone else even shows up.

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

This is a lot of effort for mining when you can just use some base Anubis who both mine and transport. If you have to put that much effort in, is it really that good?

[@Rednu]

Oh yeah, it takes forever to ge this normally lol

[@UnkemptHerald]

Howabout the true Bigtoise? Lucky Bigtoise or an Alpha Bigtoise with one Workspeed Skill. Not only is it reasonably attainable but surely a max 4 star Lucky Bigtoise is better? I personally have relegated my lucky digtoise to manually mining. If I TP and want a quick surge of Ore, i send him out and activate partner skill. Once done i put him away. No major food concerns

[@Rednu]

I think you can't get an Alpha Digtoise since he doesn't spawn in any dungeon and there's no overworld Alpha version of him. Lucky is possible, but with a work speed passive might take a while 😅 But yeah, him being bigger should mean he can hit more nodes in an AOE.

[@Billerson23]

Alpha digtoise does spawn in dungeons. My friend captured one on our multiplayer world

[@Rednu]

Okay lol I need to stop taking what my community says at face value. You're right, he spawns in the Grasslands dungeon.

[@onsetaugust]

@@Rednu Yep, caught a biggustortus at a level 19 dungeon. He's my amazing turtle Kaiju But why would an Alpha Digtoise with the right passives be better than a normal? Does he hit more nodes with his fat hitbox or what?

[@Rednu]

Yep, it's just the hitbox increase. It only really affects using his skill actively though, since he tries to climb on top of the node. If you use his skill, he stays in place and you can take advantage of his bigger size.

[@saberegoodfellow6473]

I appreciate your time and testing I would like to suggest another test check the other mining ones except for give them damage increases to see how they scale versus the Bigtos

[@Rednu]

Damage passives or bonuses have no effect on mining ore when it comes to Pals. You can one-shot nodes with a rocket launcher though!

[@saberegoodfellow6473]

From what I have seen increasing the damage of a pals does increase the efficiency in which they mine both by reducing the amount of time that it takes them to mind the node and increasing the per hit damage

[@saberegoodfellow6473]

Work similarly to the increase in damage that happens when you put it into attack on a pickaxe

[@redpandarocket1089]

​@@saberegoodfellow6473 What about food that increases attack?

[@jasonroberson3447]

Not that you could realistically get one, but an alpha with all the passives and other buffs would be even better, it's sheer size would be why you hit more nodes at once.

So hows that compare to a 4 star Digtoise that's not placed in base, but thrown out with the saddle learned, not riding. it does so much more dmg.

[@azurephantom100]

the base digtoise does at 4 star does 7-8 while the one in party does like 40-70 damage (i have the headband but regardless its still going to be way more) the passives do effect them in party as well. i did a timing test and a 4 star with no work speed passives/no souls vs 4 star with all work speed passives. 1.4 patch, both in party, no partner skill. the results was: no buffs: 50 seconds with buffs: 40 seconds. with the current 1.5 patch the damage of the partner skill is buffed so its most likely less then 10 seconds when its used.

I know those passive probably aren't necessary if I can just get the digtoise to dig the whole time for me, but helping still makes it faster.

I made a max star artisan rushoar. OK, it mines slow af. BUT with the Minecraft down it's charge 2 shots ore nodes. But when there clumped, two charges can clear 3 nodes if you bounce it right. In ~6 charges, animation canceled by discounting and grappling to reposition, full area cleared. It's close to under a minute to clear all the rocks across the bridge from chillet. And coal/sulfur break even faster. Some of the earth abilities also insta break rocks, stone Canon on my rushoar one shots the rocks. Rushoar eats barely anything, easy to catch with blue spheres, and is an amazing dungeon speedster for tanking random npcs and charging down hallways or through rocks. I get it's not optimal if your automating the iron farm, but rushoar basically makes it instant to clear a group of rocks without relying on a base which may require upkeep and defense. Essentially every time I leave the base, I will stop by a rock spot and top off my Wright limit in a charge or two. I still have enough ore that my server mates keep trading me for it, and they run meta factories.

i will never understand why anyone would try to farm ore manually :S

[@4thworldwilderness390]

Pals mine ore, wood, stone, etc. For you without effort. Go run boss fights, explore, gather other resources dungeons, or capture pals you still need 10 of to max your time spent.

[@KurtacusRex]

I mean, 600 ore in like, under 12 seconds, how long does it take to set up and maintain a farm? Honestly, as an investment a farms only great if you use it for about 100x the amount of time you spend setting it up. I understand its fun to build bases, and I do a fair bit of automation, but in terms of keeping my base under the pal limit minning myself frees up labor slots for stuff that isnt so quick to handle myself, like extra kindling or transportation pals to keep everythign else running smoothly. Its all about oportunity cost, yes, in a void auto minning is better. But thats atleast 1 slot that could be used somewhere else, for a task thats quick and fun with an early on pal thats easy to catch with cheep spheres. Further, there is no guarintee on a server that you will have un-contested access to a field of nodes. For the peace of the realm, it might be prudent to be familiar with diy solutions to minning. @@Zanza1122

Soo... Stick to breeding Astagon for early to mid-game. Got it. Digtoise for maximum mining in the late game.

[@Rednu]

Early-mid game is probably more Anubis or Reptyro since you can breed them. I wouldn't call the stager where you can get Astegon and Blazamut as early-mid game. Max rank Digtoise for certain is way too bothersome to get until end-game though.

[@isaiah123456wp7]

@@Rednu As long as you can realistically catch Flopie, Helzephyr, Mossanda, and Relaxaurus, then it should be fine to run Astegon's until Digtoise. That's what I do anyways. Helzephyr + Flopie = Rayhound Rayhound + Mossanda = Grizzbolt Grizzbolt + Relaxaurus = Orserk Grizzbolt + Orserk = Astegon They're pretty easy to catch early on. I did it following the guide from RageGamingVideos. And with your guide I now know where to head for end game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaDOlmmpg9F5itE

[@Rednu]

I see, that sounds good!

[@10whatsmyname01]

​@@isaiah123456wp7you mean to tell my I got my ass handed to me by 3 different astegon with zero luck catching any and I could have just bred one!? Why didn't I check for that sooner 🤡

[@ShadowAngelS2K]

I got 10 4* Astegons already

[@Furankos]

when I max a digtoise instead of going full work speed pasives, I swap lucky that only increase 10 work speed for diet lover that way he sometimes finish 3 copper nodes before stopping to eat. That is not always the case because sometimes when he targets a faraway node and start attacking mid-way and lose almost 60% of the attack just reaching the node

[@urge2kill2000]

you can add to your party i saw max it and doing 100 per tick at lvl 43 digtoise and all damage stats

[@rhanaho5679]

I got a perfect (ish) stat shiny Digtoise [Lucky/Artian/Serious/Work Slave] fully upgraded and have his work speed at 150 and they seem to plow through ore nodes on Xbox.

[@onsetaugust]

You caught a perfect digtoise??

[@rhanaho5679]

Yup, it's very rare spawn. However I seem to find most of my shinys at dawn and dusk and more so when my spawn rate is turned up to 2.0+. Navigate enough and you can predict pal migration patterns in a particular area over time. One such area I have found shiny digitoise is in the bamboo area near the Alpha Anubus (south west of it in the green part of the map roughly beside one good base build area for mid level.)

[@rhanaho5679]

Fun fact: due to the size of shiny/Alpha digtoise (if there is a alpha) you can position a mining strand near trees and digtoise will damage them too, indirectly harvesting wood for your transporters to grab and store for you.

[@azurephantom100]

@o5679 its better to use a mammorest for normal tree harvest as its saddle and damage passives one slam and it will break ore and trees in a large area. for wood in base its better to use the work pits as those arent animation capped like ore nodes and digtiose only does one damage to trees regardless of passives or anything so its not going to give alot of wood. things like wild trees and ore nodes give drops based on HP lost for ore its one ore every 112.5 damage give or take (4500 hp divided by 40=112.5. 40 is the max amount it always drops) i havent looked into the tree hp but i want to say its around 800 hp or so as refined metal ax does 200+ damage and takes about 3-4 swings to fell a tree. i will test it though to get a proper answer

[@teamrocketzae6009]

Work speed scales more for when using the stone pit.

[@teamrocketzae6009]

And when you summon from in party, you can use its active ability to increase performance on ore. The ability doesn't scale to the stone pit though.

[@OdinMagnus]

This still only works with him on party though, right?

[@azurephantom100]

no the passives and star level effects both in base and in party in base is what he was showing on the charts. at 4 star it does 7-8 damage at 0 stars its only 1-2. in party (with headband i havent tested without) the difference between one with WS passives and souls vs one without anything. is 50 seconds vs 40 seconds (in party, didnt use partner skill, and patch 1.4) so while it may seem minor it does add up this is at 0 stars if i remember right so given the difference of damage from 0 vs 4 star being 20-30 vs 40-70 the time would be much less at 4 stars

[@OdinMagnus]

@@azurephantom100 ok, because he had a chart from a previous video that showed 0 production when he was away from base.

[@phyron123]

so, the best trait for miners is diet lover

[@leonardofontes7007]

youtubers gotta make their minds abount digtoise lol

[@Pamijay]

You don't want work speed passives for ore nodes. You want attack passives. That's not the optimal digtoise.

[@tuevue3217]

Have you tried dumud chowder for food? I think that's the best food.

[@Danscrub]

I did not see your previous video on mining, but unless food/breaks are massively different from astegons and blazemuts they should not be the same since astegons do not sleep and work all night (which should probably double their output per day)

[@Rednu]

These numbers don't account for nighttime. You're right that Astegon will do more since he doesn't need sleep, but within the daytime, he is practically the same.

[@blakewalker84120]

So, imagine an employee comes to the boss and says "Hey, I'd like to tackle a project. I want to make 4 Digtoises get up to 4* and max them out for mining efficiency." Here is the question a CEO or Project Manager would ask: What is the up-front cost and what is the return on that investment? I guess that's two questions. The answer is, once we're done, each max Digtoise can replace two Astegons. How long will it take? We need to breed or catch 644 Digtoises and that will take about 80 in game days. During that time our 4 Astegons will produce 80x4x200 ore (yes, I rounded a bit for simplicity) so that is 64,000 ore After that time we can replace those with 4 max Digtoises and our next 80 days will produce 128,000 ore. And now for the big final question: Once we have the first 64,000 ore, what will we do with it? The answer to that question is: Well, we really won't do anything with all of it. That's more ore than we will ever need, really. We can build a fully metal base, with every top-end facility, the best guns, swords, and armor, and have lots of ore left over. Whatever our max Digtoises produce will be unused surplus ore - we'll store it and hope the game developers add more content we can spend it on. OK, maybe that has value for the imaginary company I'm the CEO of, but wait, there is one more question: Instead of grinding all your time for 80 days catching and/or breeding 644 Digtoise, couldn't you take just one Digtoise and 4 Wumpos and pop around to a bunch of ore nodes that are right next to several dozen teleporter sites and harvest 800 ore (20 nodes) in each of those game days? The answer is yes, easily. And wouldn't all THAT ore be surplus? Yes. So what is the cost/benefit analysis of the Max Digtoise Project: Answer: the project team (aka player) spends roughly 80 in-game days making 4 max Digtoises that produce unneeded surplus ore when instead that project team could devote the same time producing a similar amount of unneeded surplus ore or, ideally, spend that time doing something that might be needed (we might need to assign some business analyst to the task of figuring out what that is). In the mean time, I, the CEO, don't see a sufficient ROI (Return on Investment) to spend the capital on this Max Digtoise Project. Let's reassign that project team (aka player) to a more productive task. Having said all that, mainly because I thought it was fun, I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into this. As for me, when Palworld reaches the stage where I have to decide whether to breed 4 Max Digtoises (or even one, actually) I'll probably put PalWorld on the shelf until a future content update and look for better ROI in Enshrouded or Nightingale, for example.

[@10whatsmyname01]

The point is that people are so invested in digtoise being the best miner despite it being proven to be broken that they are willing to devote an unreasonable amount of time to the task to prove the point. The ROI is saving face

[@xremnantx5728]

First of all, sorry if My english Is bad since Is not my native language😓🙏 Now, something i read (i dont really know if its true so i cant confirm) around Reddit and some discords is that Work Speed actually dont work with Lumbering/minning Pals since both doesnt work with the yellow work bar, insted Damage works better since thay are basically headbutting the tree/rock, making the specific mining/lumbering passive and Damage passives better that Work Speed, same thing with transporting Pals, they work better with Speed passives than Work speed I dont how much true that Is, so if someone alredy tested that or know about a source that alredy tested and confirm Is this Is true or false could tell, would be really cool

[@Rednu]

Yep, this video shows that too. Work Speed only affects jobs with progress circles, except in the case of Digtoise. Digtoise's attack frequency against nodes scales with Work Speed. He's a special little tortoise.

[@xremnantx5728]

Hooo nice, looks like i dont understad that part xD, thanks anyway, The work you dedicate to each video is greatly appreciated.

[@10whatsmyname01]

Work speed and damage don't impact mining speed, but there are two exceptions. Exception one is work speed helps when mining in a stone pit. Exception two is that work speed helps digtoise mine nodes faster because of it's special ability. The best way to boost miners that aren't digtoise are to decrease their food consumption with passive skills like dainty eater and diet lover. I also added workaholic to mine because it makes sanity decrease slower meaning pals will take less breaks to recover sanity.

[@datcanadian7172]

Only thing annoying with digtoise is once you get more then 1 at base going the sound is like nails on a chalk board

[@Rednu]

You're right. He's the worst miner again.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

My friend put a bunch of mammorest he got farming the boss and holy crap you fast travel to it and get blasted by 8 overlapping elephant screams

[@menetioshurlevent2026]

Would diet lover help more than lucky because the pal have to eat less ?

[@seanlounders]

So using soul seem useless with the work speed suggests cap then. I just use him personal in team when i need ore more in a pintch. Thank you for sharing you're experience and thoughout experiments.

[@Rednu]

Work Speed Souls are useless for all pals when it comes to mining nodes, EXCEPT for Digtoise. Hope this helps!

[@Lebronscome]

Astegon lightning strike oneshots all ore in the area..

[@toddabbott781]

Digtoise is far better if he is working out of your party and you have the collar. Also it takes a LOT of resources to get a 4 star so you are unlikely going to have more than one. While getting Astegon or Blazamut you can easily get several for your base. It would be better to have Digtoise as a party member mining AFK. That way Pals will also collect the resources, which they do not really do if you are not at the base to watch over them. I still find it much easier to mine the iron on my own.

[@10whatsmyname01]

I do chores or watch TV while I'm breeding so hatching 600 eggs isn't a super big deal time wise unless I'm wanting to play the game actively at that moment. I constantly have cakes cooking at my main base so it's kinda impossible for me to run out unless pals glitch the right way when I'm not paying attention to them.

[@joegoeshrd]

Still think an astegon maxed out with lighting strike is the best choice for a quick mining run , you can literally one shot 5 deposits and head to rhe next spot. In late game it makes no sense to keep mining one deposit at a time.

[@Banana_Zach]

k, but Astegon mines at night. Get dark-type-pilled

[@adambradley5503]

Astegon five star with lightning strike can 1 shot multiple node at once ❤

[@feroxyt5142]

Ill stick to astegon 👍🏻 i have 10 of em on my base, all with bred in artism and serious which is 119 work spd, its alot more productive, and it continues to work at night

[@whitetigerfire1]

Oh yes, because for my mining base, im going to catch/breed 117x3 digtoise to have the best minor in game rather than just, use anubis or the dragon XD Im sorry this doesnt help digtoise's case, it should be decent at lower levels too

[@arc695]

Astegon is cause he can stay up all night. Just have an open base so they don't get stuck

[@young-j731]

Astegon is indeed the best minig pal in base and outside the base (his ability + lightning strike = easy minig)

[@young-j731]

But workspeed on minig pal only benefit the carier (they'are doing a task) but minig ore nods is not a task

[@Nickvdwal]

You can make a level 5 miner

[@marrdreg7025]

? Not sure where youre going with this as he explained/compared those in the video too.

[@damianfirecaster7230]

Hey my digtoise is currently at 22DPS he is currently at level 39

[@myhoodiskc]

Astegon Op

[@thebatman6201]

Been on a bit of a rollercoaster with this digtoise thing, huh? So much drama over a pal i will never use. Sure, he may or may not be most efficient.. but he gets stuck and anubis doesnt.

[@supersaiyanbino]

Nexus mods has saved me hundreds of hours of farming, lol

[@ColdEmperor]

This is both good and bad news. On one hand im glad Digtoise forsnt get screwed. On the other hand Digtoise should be number 1 from day 1 with zero investment. I wonder if you should give your battle digtoise artisan instead of ferocious? Then again work speed might only work on node shaving not battle.

[@damianfirecaster7230]

my digger is 1 star i I did use souls to increase stats also but only tier 1 souls also i do not use my digger at my base !! i use him at very remote and other ore nodes

[@deanb6489]

i feel sorry for the devs of palworld. the internet is doing its thing on the game. people are already developing the best of the best pals. elite spots the maps for max efficiency. they are really gonna have to do something huge or game changing.
