Roll Pals And Buy From A Pal Merchant

Capturing Pal Merchants allows you to summon them anytime at the base and buy Pals from them, and you can reroll the available Pals for sale by putting them in and back out of the box. This is more time-efficient compared to repeatedly going back to the title to reroll the Pals. This also works with Black Marketeers.

Some Passives Can Only Be Acquired By Catching Certain Pals

There are Passive Skills that cannot be obtained through Pal Merchant purchases. These skills are rare and commonly found on Alpha Pals which are not available for purchase, so if you wish to obtain them, head to their location in the map and catch them.

Pair Pals To Start Breeding And Produce Egg Offspring

Skill Transfer Notes
- Offsprings can inherit 0 to 4 Passive Skills randomly from both parents. - There's also a chance to get Random Passives that are not present in the Parent Pals - There are cases where all four Passive Skills are inherited from one Pal Parent.

Once you have a pair of Pals to start breeding, deposit them at the Breeding Farm to produce an Egg. Since inheriting the Passive from both parents is not always guaranteed, you will need to patiently continue hatching Eggs until you get an offspring that has inherited the desired Passive Skills.

Breeding Farm Is Required To Breed Pals

To start breeding, a Breeding Farm is necessary. Aside from building the necessary facility, you will also need to produce a substantial quantity of Cakes.

Note!	You will need at least one cake for each breeding attempt. Therefore, if you intend to breed your Pals more than once, ensure you produce an equivalent quantity of cakes.

Repeat Until The Desired Passive Skills Are Transferred

For example, if you want to create the fastest Pal for your travel explorations, you'll need Passive Skill traits such as Legend, Swift, Runner, and Nimble. Keep in mind that special passive skills like Legend can only be obtained through specific Pals. To get an offspring to inherit this passive, you'll need to breed this particular Pal multiple times.

▼ Fenglope Breeding Example

1	Paladius × Loupmoon [span {"text":"＝","class":"bolder"}a] Penking Obtain the Parent Pals with Legend, Swift, and Runner Passive Skills, then breed them until these traits are passed down to their Penking offspring.
2	Penking × Lifmunk ＝ Fenglope Breed Lifmunk with the Nimble Passive Skill until the four other movement Passive Skills have been completely passed down to Fenglope.

Recommended Passive Skills To Breed

Recommended Passive Skill For Base

Skill	Tier And Effects
Artisan	★★★★★ Work Speed +50%
Workaholic	★★★★☆ SAN drops +15% slower
Work Slave	★★★★☆ Work Speed +30%, Attack -30%
Serious	★★★☆☆ Work Speed +20%
Swift	★★★☆☆ Moving Speed +30%
Lucky	★★☆☆☆ Work Speed +15%, Attack +15%

Recommended Passive Skills for Pal around the base include "Artisan," which increases Work Speed, and "Workaholic," which reduces SAN (Sanity) value depletion. "Swift," which increases movement speed, is also recommended as it makes Pals move more quickly around the base.

Consider Pals For Farming Base On Their Hunger And San

Passive Skill	Tier and Effect
Workaholic	SAN drops +15% slower
Diet Lover	Decrease in Hunger is less likely by +15%
Positive Thinker	SAN drops +10% slower
Dainty Eater	Decrease in Hunger is less likely by +10%

Increasing Work Speed for Farming Pals won't have any effect on production efficiency. Therefore, it's advisable to incorporate a Passive Skill that maintains SAN (sanity) levels and hunger levels.

Recommended Passive Skills For Party

Passive Skill	Tier And Effects
Motivational Leader	★★★★★ 25% increase to Player Speed
Logging Foreman	★★★★★ 25% increase to Player Logging Efficiency
Mine Foreman	★★★★★ 25% increase to Player Mining Efficiency
Vanguard	★★★★☆ Player Attack +10%
Stronghold Strategist	★★★☆☆ 10% increase to Player Defense

The recommended passive skill for parties is something like "Motivational Leader," which boosts player characters' work speed and efficiency. Since it activates just by being in the party, make sure to teach it to Pals not used in combat.

Recommended Passive Skills For Riding

Skill Name	Tier And Effects
Swift	★★★★★ Moving Speed +30%
Runner	★★★★☆ Moving Speed +20%
Legend	★★★★☆ Moving Speed +15% / Attack & Defense +20%
Nimble	★★★☆☆ Moving Speed +10%

Recommended Passive Skills for Pal mounts include Swift and Legend, which increase movement speed. By equipping all four slots with passive skills that boost movement speed, exploration becomes more easier and faster when riding.

Gliders Do Not Benefit From Increased Movement Speed Effects

Pals with gliding capabilities do not see a rise in their movement speed, even when equipped with passive skills aimed at boosting it. As a result, it's advisable to focus their specialization on combat or provide them with passive skills that enhance the player's abilities.

Recommended Passive Skills For Combat

Passive Skill	Tier And Effects
Legend	★★★★★ Attack +20%, Defense +20%, Movement Speed increases 15%
Musclehead	★★★★★ Attack +30%, Work Speed -50%
Ferocious	★★★★☆ Attack +20%
Element Attack Types	★★★★☆ 20% increase to specific element of choice in attack damage
Burly Body	★★★☆☆ Defense +20%
Lucky	★★☆☆☆ Attack +15%, Work Speed +15%
Hooligan	★★☆☆☆ Attack +15%, Work Speed -10%

Legend stands out as the prime passive skill for combat-oriented Pals. It amplifies attack, defense, and movement speed, making it indispensable for honing their combat prowess.

Skill For Capturing Pals

Passive Skill	Effect
Mercy Hit	Pacifist. Will not reduce the target's Health below 1.

Mercy Hit is a useful skill if you want to avoid defeating enemy Pals when trying to capture them. If you have a strong Pal with this skill, you can easily bring down the enemy's HP to 1 without defeating them.

Aim for Passive Skill Effect Stacking

All Stat Boosts Are Stacked

Passive skills activate with overlapping effects from all possessed skills. For example, if a Pal has Musclehead (Attack +30%), Legend (Attack +20%), Ferocious (Attack +20%) and Lucky (Brave +10%), the attack stat will increase by a total of 80%.

Passive Skills With The Same Name Cannot Be Learned

Please note that you cannot obtain two passive skills that are the same, like 'Legend' + 'Legend'.

Passive Skills That Enhance Player Stats Also Stack

Effects such as Motivational Leader (increasing the player's work speed by 25%) that enhance the player's stats will also stack when you have more than one Pal in your team. It is recommended to have them on non-combat Pals, such as those for gliders.
