How Gathering levels work

Every work skill runs from level 1 to level 8. A level 1 Pal works slowly and a level 4 Pal roughly triples that speed before work speed bonuses are applied. Level 7 and 8 are reserved for a handful of endgame Pals, so the practical upgrade path is: catch the highest level you can reach now, then replace it as your capture level climbs. Because a single Pal can hold several skills at once, the best base layout usually concentrates one dedicated Pal per job rather than spreading cheap Pals thin.

Gathering is used for auto-collecting from farms and ranches. Assign at least one dedicated Pal to it and keep that Pal fed — a hungry Pal stops working and will eventually fall into a weakened state.
