A guide for beginners based upon Camp Kindred - Guide for Beginners by Iistless !
The 4 basic Starter Kins you can choose at the start of your adventure are all pretty bad... sorry !
That is why a lot of people choose a different Kin to play with. In this guide we will refer to them as Good Starter Kin !
People like the Good Starter Kin more because they take away some of the frustrations the 4 basic Starter Kin have.
Now... making a choice is not so easy, but from experience it mostly depends on these 3 things:
How much money you have in your account
What your goals are (collecting, earning money fast, having some fun, etc...)
What Kin do you like (cute or cool ? Cat, dog or dragon ? Water-type or Fire-type ? etc...)
Keeping that in mind, let's go over the Kins below !
These Kins are what experienced players mostly advice new players to use !
Don't worry, they are all good choices !

Pumpae might not look like much now but this Kin actually evolves twice !
In its final form, Pumperilla, it has decent stats and comes packed with a 75% Healing Skill, which is pretty much a full heal !
For a very long time in the game this was one of the standard used Kins by many players !
Ofcourse there are much stronger Kins now and Pumpae has fallen behind as result.

Fafnir is a Kin that evolves twice, with its final form being an awesome looking dragon ! When it is fully evolved you will have a decent Kin that can help you through your journey. There's several other color versions out there, each with their own set of stats. One being stronger than the other but ofcourse also more pricey. The one mentioned here is the original released version of the Kin.

Miasmal Terra is a decent Kin to have as a beginning player ! This is one of the better budget Kins. You get really good stats for a low(er) price ! It will be able to get you anywhere in the game. The strongest bosses will need to be dealt with by using healing potions.

I usually advice people to get King Corgi because it is an overall okay Kin. No real strengths or weaknesses. At maximum level it has slightly higher damage than Miasmal Chiclex and similar HP. However you don't have to deal with a weak(er) early game !
Unfortunately this Kin does have a high pricetag for new players !
And that might be the reason why you have to opt out of this cute, adorable corgi !

Miasmal Kinmaera is another overall okay Kin just like King Corgi ! It has slightly more health, more accuracy and on average a tiny bit more damage output than King Corgi. It can also handle Viperex bosses as long as you use healing potions ! Definitely a recommended Kin for beginners !
Unfortunately this Kin does have a high pricetag for new players !
And that might be the reason why you have to opt out of this fishy creature !

Other good options can be found below. They are mostly older released Kins that (can) have weaker stats for the same or higher pricetag. That is why they are often no longer adviced to newer players. However you might like how they look and decide to try them out anyway. It is all up to you !
