STARTING LINEUP
The listed ranks and lineup are a starting point. The team builder exposes the effect targets and conditions so you can adapt the composition to your encounter.
Open this team in the builder ↗Party, role and execution
Choose the item and eligible enemy category before using the drop-support party. Compare ordinary loot, sale and carrying effects separately; a resource route should not count a conditional reward bonus on targets it does not cover.
Recorded partner effects
These are raw structured values from the acquired v1.0.3 player dataset. Effect names determine the unit and target; no unverified damage-total formula is applied. A false same-species stacking flag means another copy does not add that effect.
Contextual text references and cooldown overrides are shown separately where native v1.0.3 evidence supplies them. They require the activation described in the final column and are not unconditional party totals.
| Pal | Effect | Rank 1 raw | Rank 5 raw | Target and conditions |
|---|
| Astegon | Mining | 1100 | 3300 | To Self; same-species non-stacking |
| Astegon | Collect Item Drop | 150 | 300 | To Self And Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Dumud Gild | Gain Item Drop | 100 | 200 | To Self And Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Splatterina | Meat Cut Add Item Drop | 100 | 200 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Lunaris | Max Inventory Weight | 300 | 600 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Lunaris | Curve Type | 19 | 19 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Fuddler | Mining | 30 | 60 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Fuddler | Item Weight Reduction | 80 | 100 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
Equipment and ingredient plan
The following options are observed in the source build loadout. Recipe quantities use the acquired catalog’s default recipe when an exact item name matches; they are first-tier ingredient facts, not a price, crafting-time estimate or assertion that every alternative must be equipped together.
| Item | Source slot | Shown tech level | Default recipe ingredients |
|---|
| Ring of Freight | Weight relief | No technology level shown | 25 Ingot, 20 Leather, 20 Horn, 3 Ancient Civilization Parts |
| Islander's Tool Belt | Utility | No technology level shown | 20 Refined Ingot, 40 Leather, 35 Paldium Fragment, 30 Ancient Bark |
Stat point priority
Player allocation order for this composition, adapted from the captured guide. This is strategy guidance rather than a measured point budget; change the order when your survival or carrying needs differ.
| Priority | Player stat | Why it comes here |
|---|
| 1 | Weight | Extra gathered materials fill inventory quickly, so carrying capacity determines route length. |
| 2 | Work speed | Shorten the player’s work at resource nodes. |
| 3 | Stamina | Support the mining route, climbing and return travel. |
| 4 | Attack and health | Use the route to avoid combat; this party spends its slots on gathering support. |
Recruitment and upgrade sequence
- Recruitment targets: Astegon, Dumud Gild, Splatterina, Lunaris, Fuddler. Open the linked Pal records for the available acquisition and breeding paths.
- Craft only the Pal Gear needed by the effects you intend to activate, then confirm the effect at the rank you currently own.
- Budget the listed loadout ingredients and upgrade one role at a time; compare the rank 1 and rank 5 records rather than quoting the fully upgraded number on an uncondensed Pal.
Evidence boundary
The factual tables preserve the stated source snapshot. Source-specific recommendations and mechanics have not been independently reproduced in the current game. Exact gameplay rule gaps remain in the coverage notes rather than being filled with invented quantities.
EXECUTE THE COMPOSITION
How to play it
Choose the resource before the party
Decide whether the run targets Ore, Gold, meat, Stone or wood, then choose the matching support carriers. The default lineup does not cover every resource specialization at once.
Remain mounted for Astegon’s ore benefit
Mine from Astegon’s saddle to keep its ore-damage and source-listed 150–300% extra Ore effects active. Dismounting switches off these mounted benefits even if Astegon remains in the party.
Use the required butchering tool
Equip and use the Meat Cleaver for Splatterina’s source-listed 100–200% extra items. Party membership supplies the support, but items obtained without that specific tool do not meet its condition.
Match the material’s weight support
Use Fuddler for Stone weight, Turtacle for Ore weight or Gumoss for wood weight. These effects target specific materials rather than reducing all inventory weight.
Choose element-specific drop support when farming
For repeated defeats of one species, consider the carrier matching that Pal’s element. The guide lists nine such carriers with 40–80% extra drops; match the defeated target instead of treating them as universal loot bonuses.
Return before the inventory stops the run
Monitor weight even with Lunaris’s listed 300–600 carrying capacity. Schedule the return while movement remains usable rather than waiting for a successful loot run to force the decision.
MATCH EACH SLOT TO ITS JOB
Loadout choices and preparation
Choose gathering tools, carrying capacity and mounted extraction support. This trip’s equipment is intended to increase usable haul rather than maximize ordinary combat damage.
Gathering toolsPickaxe tier
Craft the best pickaxe available for the desired node tier. Fuddler and Mine Foreman improve the supported mining action, but do not replace the tool’s access requirement.
Gathering toolsMeat Cleaver butchering
Equip Meat Cleaver for Splatterina’s specifically worded butchering bonus. Keep the permanent-loss consequence explicit: butchering consumes the Pal rather than releasing it safely.
Gathering toolsRing of Freight
Use Ring of Freight alongside Lunaris’s separate source-listed 600 carrying capacity. Carrying relief extends the route after extraction rather than increasing the pickaxe’s damage.
Ring of Freight →
Gathering toolsIslander's Tool Belt
Use Islander’s Tool Belt for its work-speed and mining role. This is the gathering half of the plan, separate from combat and butchering bonuses.
Islander's Tool Belt →
TransportMounted gathering or travel
Ride Astegon while relying on its ore-damage and source-listed 150%–300% extra-Ore effects. Their mounted conditions are not satisfied by leaving it in the party.
TransportEquipped glider
Bring a glider to reach cliff and ravine ore clusters efficiently. Plan a return path for the loaded inventory as well as the descent.
PREPARE THE EXACT RECORD
Equipment and supplies
Open the named tier for its ingredients, unlocks and recorded acquisition methods. Resource planning uses its game ID. Generic choices such as “your strongest shield” in the loadout remain choices rather than a fabricated exact item.
Passive records and availability
Check the exact passive’s effect and eligibility before moving it to a carry. An availability label does not guarantee a particular catch, implant or mutation result.
Passive selection and acquisition
These are the captured guide’s build choices and suggested acquisition routes. Use the linked fixed-baseline passive record for its actual effects and eligibility; a proposed route is not a guaranteed roll.
Choose for player mining trips; this is a player task rather than a promise to improve the Pal's base mining behavior.
The capture proposes standard wild catches and ordinary breeding for a carrier.
Use for the player when the planned haul is wood rather than Ore.
The capture proposes standard wild catches and ordinary breeding for a carrier.
Choose when player crafting or other work-speed tasks are part of the route; do not assume it reproduces mining and logging effects.
The capture proposes standard wild catches and ordinary breeding for a carrier.
Support the player's stamina use across a long gathering and hauling session.
The capture proposes ordinary catches or breeding, with an implant as another route when available.
UNDERSTAND THE TRADE
What this build turns down
Ignoring the element-specific loot carriers
Element-specific loot support can suit a targeted farm better than a general route. Pick the carrier for the defeated species' element instead of assuming one default covers every drop.
Assuming Dumud Gild and Nitemary do different things
The two species share the captured enemy-drop effect and curve. The source proposes them together using its cross-species rule; this does not establish extra differences from their flavor text.
Treating Astegon bonuses as always on
Astegon's large mining role requires mounting. Plan the mining phase around that condition rather than carrying its benefit into dismounted actions.
Expecting weight reduction to be general
Stone, Ore and wood reducers have distinct material conditions. Lunaris supplies general capacity; choose the specialist according to the actual haul.
Alternates and flex picks
Consider alongside Dumud Gild under the source's cross-species stacking proposal for enemy-drop quantity; their captured role and curve match.
Acquisition route →Choose the Chromite-oriented collection role when that material is the route's purpose.
Acquisition route →Exchange the Stone-weight slot for Ore-specific weight reduction on an Ore route.
Acquisition route →Choose the wood-weight specialist for a logging haul rather than carrying a Stone specialist into the wrong task.
Acquisition route →BUILD IT IN A USEFUL ORDER
Acquisition and upgrade plan
Use early carrying and mining support while working toward Astegon. Keep combat upgrades separate from the gathering effects that determine this loadout's value.
Recruit the gathering lineup
Use the linked species routes, beginning with accessible Fuddler and Lunaris if the final roster is not ready. Their mining and carrying roles can improve an early route before every specialist in the complete party has been obtained.
Obtain Astegon or use the stated interim option
Follow Astegon's late-game recruitment or breeding route. The source proposes Smokie as an interim CollectItemDrop support with a recorded 100%–200% range; inspect the trigger before treating that effect as an always-active reward multiplier.
Prioritize ore yield and Stone handling
The source ranks Astegon's quoted extra-Ore value from 150% to 300% and Fuddler's Stone-weight reduction from 80% to 100%, with mining efficiency from 30% to 60%. Their scopes differ: Stone-specific weight reduction does not remove all inventory weight.
Complete the other gathering ranks
The guide uses rank-5 Dumud Gild 200%, Splatterina 200% and Lunaris 600 capacity. Check the loot source, action trigger and receiving inventory before applying those values to an ore run or a different farming activity.
Acquire the relevant trainer work passives
Mine Foreman, Logging Foreman and Motivational Leader each have a listed 25% trainer-work contribution in the captured catalog. The source recommends copies across the five slots; inspect the actual task and stacking model instead of treating all three as mining-speed bonuses.
Keep element-specific loot supports available
The source maintains a bench of nine elemental loot carriers, each with a recorded 40%–80% range. Select the one matching the enemies being farmed for that session and check its required deployment or party condition rather than permanently displacing a gathering role.
