Best Traversal Pals in Palworld v1.0.0
Traversal in Palworld 1.0 is not only about mount speed. Partner effects rewrite your glider, cancel fall damage, add mid-air jumps and boost movement on foot, and in 1.0 they apply from anywhere in the party. Keep the right pals on your team and you move faster everywhere, mounted or not.
Glider modifiers
Keep one of these in your active party and it rewrites your glider, no mounting required. Only one glider modifier applies at a time, so pick the behavior you want.

Extra jumps and air dash
On-foot mobility: extra mid-air jumps, higher jump power and an air dash. These apply to the player from the party, not only while mounted.
Movement speed and terrain
Flat and terrain-specific movement-speed boosts plus low gravity and faster climbing. Terrain variants only apply on their surface (snow, grass, ground).

XenolordMovement Speed +20%Palworld 1.0 reworked how mounts handle. You can now cancel a mount skill mid-animation by jumping with a direction input, which chains attacks and repositions far more fluidly than the old locked recovery. Dash and charge transitions were smoothed too, so accelerating out of a turn no longer bleeds momentum the way it used to.
Partner-skill buffs now apply from anywhere in your party rather than only the active pal, so the movement, jump and glider perks listed here stack onto your traversal without benching your combat mount. The Wing Pack is the mount-free alternative: it lets you glide without a flying pal, but it only descends. A high-speed flying mount still gains altitude and covers ground several times faster, so it stays the fastest way across the map.
