Best Pals for Medicine Production: Ranks and Spawns

Medicine Production is the job that keeps your base standing — it staffs the medicine benches that brew Low Grade Medical Supplies and Revival Potions, and it staffs the Clinic that stops your workers getting sick in the first place. It is also one of the narrowest jobs in the game: only 43 of Palworld's 288 Pals have it at all. This guide ranks every one of them, tells you which ones you can realistically catch, and covers the bench setup and passives that make the crew brew faster.

Medicine Production at a Glance

Compared to the other base jobs this one is thin. Transporting is open to 140 Pals and Handiwork to 109; Medicine Production sits at 43, ahead of only Farming (29) and Generating Electricity (25). It is also lopsided by element — 22 of the 43 are Dark and 17 are Grass, so a medicine base tends to be a night crew of witches, flowers and ghosts. The practical consequence is that you will not stumble into a good one by accident the way you do with a Lumbering or Transporting Pal, and the gap between the top of the list and the middle is huge.

That "minimum rank Lv. 1" line is the trap. Every medicine structure switches on with any Medicine Production Pal, so an early Lifmunk will happily man the bench and it will look like the job is solved. It is not — rank decides how fast the workload burns down, and the endgame recipes run into the millions, so a Lv. 1 body on an Advanced Medicine Workbench is a queue that never clears.

Best Medicine Production Pals in Palworld

Eleven Pals reach Lv. 5 or better, and the honest ranking is not the same as the rank order. Silvance is the only Lv. 8 in the game and nothing brews faster, but it has no wild spawns and you have to beat it in the World Tree before you can breed it. Below that, the two Lv. 7s split cleanly: Lyleen Noct is catchable, Bellanoir Libero is a raid boss. For most players the actual answer is the Lv. 6 row, and specifically Wistella, which is common, cheap to feed and available long before the rest.

Pal	Medicine	Other jobs it does	Food	How to get it
Silvance	Lv. 8	Planting 6, Handiwork 6, Gathering 4, Transporting 2	9	No wild spawns — beat it in the World Tree, then breed Silvance × Silvance
Lyleen Noct	Lv. 7	Gathering 6, Handiwork 5	8	42 spawn points · alpha at Lv. 58 · breeds from Lyleen × Menasting
Bellanoir Libero	Lv. 7	Handiwork 6, Transporting 4	7	Summoned raid boss — Lv. 45, with a Lv. 80 second tier
Mycora	Lv. 6	Planting 6, Handiwork 4, Gathering 4	7	42 spawn points · alpha at Lv. 78
Wistella	Lv. 6	Handiwork 6, Transporting 1	5	40 spawn points at night · alpha at Lv. 66
Selyne	Lv. 6	Handiwork 7, Transporting 3	9	40 spawn points at night · breeds only Selyne × Selyne
Dandilord	Lv. 6	Planting 8, Handiwork 6, Gathering 5, Transporting 3	9	No wild spawns — World Tree boss, then breed Dandilord × Dandilord
Splatterina	Lv. 5	Handiwork 6, Lumbering 3, Transporting 2	7	769 spawn points, night only · alpha at Lv. 65
Venusa	Lv. 5	Handiwork 6, Gathering 6, Transporting 2	6	26 spawn points at night
Lyleen	Lv. 5	Planting 7, Gathering 6, Handiwork 5	8	42 spawn points · alpha at Lv. 58
Bellanoir	Lv. 5	Handiwork 5, Transporting 4	7	Summoned raid boss — Lv. 35

Read the Food column before you commit. Silvance, Selyne and Dandilord all eat 9, which is near the top of the scale, and three of them in one base will chew through a berry plantation faster than it produces. Wistella eats 5 for the same Lv. 6 rank, which is why it ends up in more bases than the Pals ranked above it.

Silvance — the Only Lv. 8 in the Game

Silvance is the ceiling of this job by itself, and it is not close — the next best base rank is 7. It is a Grass Pal with 140 HP and 120 Ranged Attack, so it fights well enough to be worth levelling, and outside the medicine bench it covers Planting 6, Handiwork 6 and Gathering 4, which means it is never idle. It also drops a guaranteed Ancient Civilization Core and 5-10 Explosion-Resistant Fiber as an alpha, so the same Pal that staffs your bench is a farm for two of the hardest endgame materials.

The catch is availability. Silvance has zero wild spawn points — it lives in the World Tree, where you fight it as a boss, and the only breeding combo that produces one is Silvance × Silvance. So it is a two-step: beat the World Tree fight to get your first, then run a pair through the Palworld breeding calculator to make spares. Nobody has this before the endgame, which is why the rest of this list matters.

Lyleen Noct — the Best Lv. 7 You Can Catch

Lyleen Noct is the realistic top pick. It is a rarity-10 Dark Pal with 42 spawn points on the map plus a level 58 alpha, and unlike Silvance it has a real breeding route: Lyleen × Menasting produces one, so a single catch of either parent line turns into a repeatable supply. Medicine Production 7 with Gathering 6 and Handiwork 5 alongside makes it one of the best three-job bodies in the game, and its partner skill heals your team while it is out with you.

It eats 8, which is the price of admission at this tier. If you are running one Lyleen Noct on the bench and nothing else expensive, a standard berry plantation keeps up; two of them plus a Selyne will not.

Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero — Trophy Workers

Both Bellanoir forms are raid bosses summoned at an altar rather than anything you find on the map. Bellanoir is the Lv. 35 fight and gives Medicine Production 5; Bellanoir Libero is the Lv. 45 fight, has a second tier at Lv. 80, and gives Medicine Production 7 with Handiwork 6 behind it. They are excellent workers, but treat them as a reward for clearing Palworld raid bosses rather than as a plan for staffing a bench — you are beating a raid for the Pal, not for the job.

Wistella — the Lv. 6 Almost Everyone Should Use

Wistella is the value pick of the whole list. Medicine Production 6 puts it one rank under the best catchable Pal in the game, it has 40 spawn points, an alpha at level 66, and it is a rarity-2 Pal, which means it is cheap to catch and cheap to breed. Best of all it eats 5 — the lowest food cost of anything at Lv. 5 or better — so you can run two of them for less upkeep than one Silvance. It only appears at night, so plan the trip after dark.

It doubles as a Handiwork 6 body, which is the single most useful second job in the game, and wild ones drop 3-5 Small Pal Souls each, so the farming trip pays for itself in Pal condensing material.

Mycora, Selyne, and Dandilord — the Other Lv. 6s

Mycora matches Wistella's rank with Planting 6 attached, which makes it the pick if the same base runs a plantation; its 42 spawn points are easy, though its alpha is a level 78 fight. Selyne is the one to grab if you care about the second job more than the first — Handiwork 7 is one rank off the game's ceiling, and Medicine Production 6 comes free with it — but it breeds only from Selyne × Selyne and eats 9. Dandilord is Silvance's World Tree sibling: no wild spawns, Planting 8 (the highest in the game), Handiwork 6 and Medicine Production 6 on one body. That much overlap is a problem rather than a bonus, because a Pal can only work one station at a time and Dandilord will drift to whichever job the base queues first.

Best Early and Mid-Game Medicine Pals

Before the endgame you are picking from ranks 2 to 5, and here availability beats raw rank outright. Splatterina is the standout by a mile: Lv. 5 Medicine Production and Handiwork 6 on a Pal with 769 spawn points, more than any other Pal in this job. It is night-only, but one evening trip solves the job for the rest of the run. After that, Katress (605 points) and Lovander (768 points) are the ones you will trip over without looking, and Icelyn is worth a mention for pairing Medicine Production 4 with Cooling 5, which covers the cooler your egg base needs anyway.

Pal	Medicine	Other jobs it does	Food	Spawn points
Splatterina	Lv. 5	Handiwork 6, Lumbering 3, Transporting 2	7	769 · night only
Elizabee	Lv. 4	Planting 4, Handiwork 4, Gathering 4, Lumbering 3	5	42 · alpha at Lv. 39
Petallia	Lv. 4	Planting 4, Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Transporting 2	6	106
Icelyn	Lv. 4	Cooling 5, Handiwork 5, Transporting 2	5	38
Gildra	Lv. 4	Handiwork 5, Transporting 2	6	325
Bakemi	Lv. 4	Handiwork 3, Transporting 2	5	115
Dupin	Lv. 4	Kindling 7, Handiwork 5, Transporting 2	8	81
Loomen	Lv. 4	Kindling 4, Handiwork 4	7	42
Petallia Ignis	Lv. 4	Kindling 4, Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Transporting 2	6	22
Lovander	Lv. 3	Handiwork 3, Mining 2, Transporting 2	4	768 · night only
Prunelia	Lv. 3	Planting 3, Gathering 2, Handiwork 1	5	638 · alpha at Lv. 63
Katress	Lv. 3	Handiwork 3, Transporting 2	4	605
Felbat	Lv. 3	None — medicine only	7	121
Sibelyx Primo	Lv. 3	Farming 4	5	82
Sibelyx	Lv. 3	Cooling 3, Farming 3	5	48 · alpha at Lv. 40
Majex	Lv. 3	Handiwork 5, Kindling 4, Transporting 2	8	36
Vaelet	Lv. 3	Planting 3, Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Farming 2	5	32 · alpha at Lv. 27
Lullu	Lv. 3	Planting 3, Handiwork 3, Gathering 2	4	20

The two spawn giants deserve a warning. Lovander's 768 points and Katress's 605 make them the easiest medicine bodies in the game to acquire, but Lv. 3 is only a stopgap — the moment you have a Splatterina, retire them to Handiwork. Conversely, Felbat has Medicine Production 3 and literally no other work suitability, which sounds bad but is actually useful: a single-job Pal never wanders off to a different station, so it stays welded to the bench you assigned it to.

Low-Rank Medicine Pals You Already Own

Fourteen Pals sit at Lv. 1-2, and they exist to switch a bench on before you have anything better. Lifmunk is the one almost every save has by hour two, and at Lv. 1 it is enough to run the Medieval Medicine Workbench and the Clinic. Jellroy is the most common Pal on this whole list at 1,193 spawn points, and Robinquill Terra is the best all-rounder among them, covering four other jobs at once. None of these should still be on the bench by the time you unlock the Electric Medicine Workbench at Lv. 43.

Pal	Medicine	Other jobs it does	Spawn points
Tarantriss	Lv. 2	Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Transporting 2	46 · alpha at Lv. 35
Robinquill Terra	Lv. 2	Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Lumbering 2, Transporting 2	545
Cinnamoth	Lv. 2	Planting 2, Gathering 2	261
Bristla	Lv. 2	Planting 2, Handiwork 2, Gathering 2, Transporting 1	249
Prixter	Lv. 2	Lumbering 4, Gathering 2	70
Dogen	Lv. 2	Handiwork 4, Gathering 3, Lumbering 3, Transporting 3	52
Beegarde	Lv. 2	Farming 3, Gathering 3, Planting 2, Handiwork 2, Lumbering 2, Transporting 2	43

Dazzi Noct	Lv. 1	Transporting 2, Generating Electricity 1, Handiwork 1	135 · alpha at Lv. 60
Flopie	Lv. 1	Planting 2, Handiwork 2, Gathering 2, Transporting 1	86
Robinquill	Lv. 1	Handiwork 3, Gathering 3, Planting 2, Lumbering 2, Transporting 2	52

Pushing Any Pal to the Rank Cap

Base rank is not the end of it. The Applied Medicine Production Handbook I permanently adds +1 Medicine Production to whichever Pal reads it, and since the game caps work suitability at Lv. 10, two books take Silvance from its base 8 to the ceiling. The upgrade lands on that one individual Pal rather than the species, so feed books to a condensed, passive-rolled Pal you actually intend to keep — not to the first body you catch.

Handbooks cost 300 Dog Coins each in the Medal Shop, which is currency you farm from Mimog rather than gold, and they also turn up as a rare supply-drop roll. Because Medicine Production is a 43-Pal job with a big rank gap, books spent here are worth more than books spent on a crowded job like Transporting — you are lifting a bench you have no better body for. The full breakdown of every book and the best Pal to feed it is in the Palworld handbooks guide.

What Your Medicine Pal Actually Brews

Rank matters because of the workload column, not the ingredient list. Every recipe carries a fixed crafting workload, and the medicine list has the widest spread of any station in the game — Low Grade Medical Supplies is 5,000 while Memory Wiping Medicine is 3,000,000, a 600× gap on the same bench. At the bottom of that range a Lv. 1 Pal is fine. At the top it is the difference between a bottle a session and a bottle a week.

Item	Materials	Workload	What it does
Low Grade Medical Supplies	5 Red Berries, 2 Horn	5,000	Cures Sick, Sprain and Overfull
Medical Supplies	3 Ingot, 3 Horn, 1 Bone	15,000	Cures Ulcer and Fracture
High Grade Medical Supplies	5 Ingot, 5 Horn, 2 Bone	50,000	Cures Weakened and Depressed
Suspicious Juice	3 Beautiful Flower, 3 Horn, 1 Bone, 1 Aquatic Pal Fluids	30,000	Work speed up, SAN down
Strange Juice	5 Beautiful Flower, 5 Horn, 2 Bone, 2 Aquatic Pal Fluids	300,000	Bigger work-speed boost, bigger SAN hit
Mysterious Mushroom Juice	20 Mysterious Mushroom, 10 Beautiful Flower, 10 Horn, 5 Bone, 5 Aquatic Pal Fluids	1,000,000	Largest work-speed boost, drastic SAN loss
Memory Wiping Medicine	99 Beautiful Flower, 50 Horn, 50 Bone, 50 Aquatic Pal Fluids	3,000,000	Resets your own status points; useless on a Pal
Advanced Recovery Meds	15 Cavern Mushroom, 30 Red Berries, 10 High Quality Pal Oil, 7 Cotton Candy, 10 Sulfur	100,000	Strongest craftable heal
Revival Potion	30 Cavern Mushroom, 50 Red Berries, 20 High Quality Pal Oil, 10 Cotton Candy, 20 Sulfur	1,000,000	Revives a downed Pal on the spot

The three juices are the reason people build a second medicine bench. They raise a Pal's work speed for a while at the cost of its SAN, which turns a medicine crew into an engine that speeds up every other job in the base — and then quietly wrecks the morale you built the Clinic to protect. Use Suspicious Juice on a work sprint and keep hot springs running; save Mysterious Mushroom Juice for a deadline you genuinely care about, because at 1,000,000 workload per bottle you are not making these casually.

The Base Setup That Makes Them Brew Faster

The Pal is half the equation; the buildings are the other half. Five structures use this job, and one of them — the Witch Cauldron — is pure crafting speed and gets skipped by almost everyone. It raises medicine manufacturing speed base-wide just by existing, and building a second one does nothing, so one per base is exactly right. Pair it with whichever bench tier you have unlocked, keep the Medicine Rack stocked so sick Pals self-medicate, and take the Clinic to stop them getting sick in the first place.

Structure	Tech level	Materials	What it does
Medieval Medicine Workbench	Lv. 12	30 Wood, 5 Nail, 10 Paldium Fragment	Entry bench — simple medicines only, no power needed
Clinic	Lv. 24	10 Wooden Board, 20 Cloth, 15 Nail	Cuts SAN depletion and prevents illness; occupies one medicine worker
Medicine Rack	Lv. 24	20 Ingot, 3 Wooden Board, 5 Cloth	Storage sick Pals walk to on their own — keep all three Medical Supplies tiers in it
Witch Cauldron	Lv. 32	10 Ingot, 20 Stone, 5 Cryogenic Coolant, 3 High Quality Pal Oil	Raises medicine crafting speed base-wide; a second one adds nothing
Electric Medicine Workbench	Lv. 43	40 Refined Ingot, 10 Circuit Board, 10 Carbon Fiber	Higher-quality medicines; draws 50 power
Advanced Medicine Workbench	Lv. 61	50 Hexolite, 50 Plasteel, 30 Circuit Board	Unlocks Revival Potion and Advanced Recovery Meds; draws 1,000 power
Ancient Clinic	Lv. 73	Endgame ancient materials	Endgame replacement for the Clinic

One ordering note: the Witch Cauldron lands at Lv. 32, eleven levels before the Electric Medicine Workbench. Build it as soon as it unlocks rather than waiting for the better bench, because it speeds up the bench you already have and the Cryogenic Coolant it needs is easier to get than the Circuit Boards the next tier wants.

Passives That Speed Up the Bench

Work suitability decides which jobs a Pal can do and how much it contributes; crafting-speed passives multiply what it produces once it is on the station. They stack, so a Pal with Artisan and Work Slave is running at a very different rate to a bare one — and the negatives are just as real. Check any medicine Pal you catch before you invest handbooks in it, because a Lv. 6 body with Slacker is worse than a Lv. 5 body with Artisan.

Musclehead is the one that catches people out — it is a positive-rank passive because it raises attack, so it looks like a keeper on a Pal you also fight with. On a medicine bench it halves your output. Keep your combat Pals and your bench Pals separate, and use the Palworld passive skill list to plan the rerolls before you spend souls condensing anything.

Summary

Short version: Silvance is the best Medicine Production Pal in the game at Lv. 8 and you will not have one for a long time. Until then, catch a Splatterina at night — Lv. 5 with 769 spawn points is the easiest good answer in the job — and upgrade to Wistella or Lyleen Noct when you can. Build the Witch Cauldron at Lv. 32, keep the Medicine Rack stocked, chase Artisan on whoever ends up on the bench, and spend handbooks on the Pal you actually keep rather than the one you wish you had.
