How Handiwork 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.

Handiwork is used for crafting and production lines. 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.
