Equipping an Amulet to your Kin makes it Soulbound (= unable to sell or trade) !
The game is sometimes bugged & can make (equipped) Amulets invisible !
Click on the Kin, then the Amulet slot and see if it gets bonuses.
If it does it means it has an Amulet equipped in that slot !
To Unsoulbind a Kin, you have to remove all the equipped Amulets ! (your 1st Starter Kin cannot be Unsoulbound)

Equip Amulets to your Kin to give it bonuses (same bonuses stack)
The bonuses are different for each Amulet & are random !
The rarer the amulet, the better the bonuses
Amulets drop as battle rewards for defeating Wild Kin
A Kin equipped with an Amulet becomes soulbound (= untradeable)
To unequip an Amulet you must pay a fee (price depends on Amulet rarity)
To equip a Kin with Amulets, follow these steps:
Reveal your Kin's Sockets (amount & shape is random per Kin)
The shape of the Socket determines what Amulet you can equip in it
Click on a Socket and choose an Amulet to equip
More detailed info in our Newbie Guide: Equip Amulets
There are 3 types of Amulets. The most valuable bonuses for each Amulet type are these:
Square Amulet ► accuracy & damage
Diamond Amulet ► plat/gold find
Circle Amulet ► resistance & life
You use a Kin that does not have 100% accuracy
You use a Kin that deals LOTS of damage and want to boost that power
Examples: Watermeat, Lifegiver, Neph the Nitemarelotl,...
ACCURACY INFO
Upgrading these type of Kin with ACCURACY amulets to 100% chance helps to defeat wild Kin faster !
Never missing is a very good thing to have as well.
When fighting Sycamorte Trees it helps to have a 100% accuracy Watermeat (or other strong Kin) because it kills the White Sycamorte Tree in 2 hits all the time !
ACCURACY: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Base Accuracy: 90%
Equipped Amulets: +6% accuracy & +5% accuracy = +11% accuracy total
Calculation: 90 + 11% = 99,9% accuracy (gets rounded up or down like math)
Result: 100% accuracy on Kin
DAMAGE INFO
Upgrading these type of Kin with DAMAGE amulets helps to kill things faster !
Damage amulets are better on Kin with higher amounts of damage because the amulet DAMAGE boosts are in % which means that a higher base damage = higher % increase !
DAMAGE amulets are best used on Kin like Watermeat, Lifegiver and Nepth the Nitemarelotl because they deal a lot of damage already and they will benefit most from the % increase !
DAMAGE: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Base Attack: 400 | Strongest attack Skill: 1000 to 1500 damage
Equipped Amulets: +3% damage & +2% damage = +5% damage total
Calculation base attack: 400 + 5% = 420 Base Attack
Calculation skill damage: 1000 to 1500 damage + 5% = 1050 - 1575 damage
Result: Kin's highest attack now deals 1050 - 1575 damage
ACCURACY + DAMAGE IN 1 AMULET = BEST !
The best amulets for these Kin are ofcourse amulets that give BOTH accuracy & damage boosts in the same amulet. Equipping multiple of these can make a Kin very powerful !
A Kin that already has 99% Accuracy does not need much extra accuracy ! 1 small boost is enough !
A Kin that has 90% Accuracy needs +12% Accuracy boost in total to reach 100% Accuracy !
You use a Kin that has 90% accuracy or more & deals decent to high damage
Or you use a Kin that fits the above description for SQUARE AMULETS
Examples: Sakura Pegacorn Fluff, Pumperilla, Watermeat,...
GOLD / PLATINUM FIND INFO
Upgrading Kin with gold / platinum find (increases the gold / platinum dropped from wild Kin) is only good if you actually hunt down Sycamorte Trees. Other areas drop RIGs and other items instead of gold / platinum. And the gold find only increases gold / platinum drops, so they are basically useless in areas that drop other stuff than gold / platinum !
Also note that the increase is most valuable on large gold / platinum drops. This is why I mention Sycamorte Trees because they drop the highest amount of gold / platinum in the game at the time of writing.
GOLD / PLATINUM FIND: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Reward drop from Sycamorte: 500 platinum
Equipped Amulets: +4% platinum find & +6% platinum find = +10% platinum find total
Calculation: 500 platinum + 10% platinum find = 550 platinum
Result: you get 550 platinum from defeating Sycamorte
NOTE 1: This is an example, the actual drops can vary...
NOTE 2: The same calculation goes for gold find when playing in gold currency mode.
GOLD / PLATINUM FIND + STAMINA IN 1 AMULET = BEST !
Because you get more money and you can battle more due to the boost to your Kin's Stamina.
Focus should always be on the gold / platinum find first !
Stamina is a nice bonus if the amulet gives it, if not that's okay.
You use a Kin that gets 1-shot
You use a Kin that has very high HP
You use a Kin that has low resistances
You use a Kin that has high resistances
Examples: Cereus, Sakura Pegacorn Fluff, Pumperilla, Watermeat,...
RESISTANCE INFO
Upgrading a Kin with resistance helps against getting Status Effects like poison, wither, sleep, paralyze,...
The higher your resistance the less likely your Kin gets poisoned, put to sleep,...
100% resistance means you never get poisoned, put to sleep,...
This means you no longer need antidotes or be annoyed that you didn't kill that Watermeat [BOSS] in Milky Way Stage 5 due to being put to sleep !
RESISTANCE: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Base Resist: 90%
Equipped Amulets: +2% resist & +3% resist = +5% resist total
Calculation: 90 + 5% resist = 94,5% Base Resist (gets rounded up or down)
Result: Your Kin has 95% Resistance
LIFE INFO
Upgrading a Kin with life helps to not get 1-shot or be able to take more hits before you need to heal. This can be good on Kin that don't have that much HP like Cereus or Watermeat !
Or to make a high HP Kin like Sakura even tankier.
LIFE: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Base Life: 603 HP
Equipped Amulets: +7% life & +7% life = +14% life total
Calculation: 603 HP + 14% life = 687,42 HP (gets rounded up or down)
Result: Your Kin now has 687 HP (can no longer get 1-shot by Sycamorte Trees)
Everything depends on your own playstyle. I'm not here to say what is the better option.
This guide is meant to give you an idea on how it works & what could be better options for your Kin.
That being said, here's a short summary in conclusion:
DAMAGE AMULETS → very effective on high damage Kin
DAMAGE AMULETS → not effective on low damage Kin (the bonus won't add much)
ACCURACY AMULETS → very effective on high damage Kin (always hitting is possible)
ACCURACY AMULETS → low damage Kin might not be worth it
GOLD / PLATINUM FIND AMULETS → worth it when you are grinding gold from Sycamorte Trees
GOLD / PLATINUM FIND AMULETS → not worth it when you are grinding RIGs (amulet doesn't add to item drops)
RESISTANCE AMULETS → very effective on high resist Kin (status effect immunity is possible)
RESISTANCE AMULETS → low resist Kin might not be worth it
LIFE AMULETS → very effective on high health Kin like Sakura Pegacorn Fluff
LIFE AMULETS → might be worth getting on Kin that otherwise get 1-shot like Watermeat or Cereus
