I love coming to my base in Palworld and finding out that my Kindling Pal took care of all the cooking for me. Best basemate ever.
The concept of going off on adventures while Pals work as stay-at-base moms is great. However, understanding how base placement and job assignment can affect their productivity is tough, especially at the beginning of the game. Even as you get to the late game, producing ingots gets harder by the minute unless you hire the best Kindling pals for the job. In this guide, I’ll explain everything there is to know about Kindling in Palworld and the best Kindling Pals for the early and mid-to-late game.
What is Kindling in Palworld?
If you get the “Requires Kindling” message in your Smelter in Palworld, all you need to do is deploy a fire-type Pal in your base. Fire Pals can take on the Kindling job and melt ores into Ingots, among other things.
