Lake Kindred

• Accuracy determines how likely your Kin will hit an attack

• A high Accuracy gives a better chance to hit

• 100% Accuracy means your Kin will always hit with its attacks & skills

• Alchemy is a way to obtain new items on GaiaOnline

• Some equippable items and Kins can be obtained through Alchemy

• Here is a list of Lake Kindred related items and Kins that you can get through Alchemy

• Amulets are items you can equip to your Kin.

• There are 3 type of Amulets: Square, Circle and Diamond

• Each type of Amulet gives different stat boosts.

• You can NOT re-roll Amulet stats / bonuses !

• You can craft Rare (RED) Amulets through Alchemy ! (see Alchemy)

• Read the Amulets guide here

• You can equip a maximum of 3 Amulets to a Kin.

• The number & type of Amulets you can equip to a Kin depend on the available slots (or sockets) the Kin has.

  • • Example: you can only equip a Square Amulet into a Square slot.

• You can use re-roll potions to change the number of slots a Kin has.

• You can use re-roll potions to change the type of slots [square, circle, diamond] a Kin has.

• Read the Kin Slots guide here

• The best Kin can be found here (Viperex Killers)

There are multiple options to earn money:

1.  Tree Farming for platinum (killing Sycamorte)

   • You need a Tree Killer Kin for this

   • When you hit the daily Platinum Cap switch to RIG Farming !
     
     

2. RIG Farming (killing Wild Kins)

   • You don't need a strong Kin for this. Most areas have weak Wild Kins.

   • Killing Wild Kins in any area can give you RIGs or Capsules as a Battle Drop, sell the RIGs or Capsules in the Marketplace or open the RIGs/Capsules and sell the content in the Marketplace.

   • This gives more or less an equal value as Tree farming when selling the RIGs.

   • Opening the RIGs can get you the few very rare items inside that are worth more but chances are low, so that's a gamble in my opinion.
     
     

3. Viperex Farming to get Eye of Viperex (killing Viperex)

   • You need a Viperex Killer Kin for this.

   • You only encounter a Viperex Boss about 13% of times.

   • The drop rate for an Eye of Viperex is quite low.

   • Selling/opening the Eye of Viperex is worth quite a lot but it could be that the time invested gives you less earnings than Tree Farming because you encounter Trees more often & are certain of your money.

   • Eye of Viperex drops are rare and therefore might not be worth pursuing.

• Read the Earning Gold guide here

• Breeding in Lake Kindred is known as Splicing !

• Read the Splicing guide here

• Damage shows how much damage a Kin can deal

• In general the higher the Damage stat the more damage a Kin can deal

  • NOTE: the damage output still depends on the damage multiplier of the Kin's Skills ! (so don't base a Kin's damage output solely on the Damage stat ! It is not 100% reliable...

  • Always check the Kin's damage output by checking the Kin's Strongest Attack in the KinDex!

• A Kin has 1 or more Elements

• The Skills a Kin has depend on its Elements

• Elements determine what type of Status Effect a Kin can inflict with its Skills

• Lake Kindred does NOT use any form of Weakness & Resistance like Pokémon does

ELEMENT -- TYPE
Metal -- Confusion
Stone -- Paralyze
Wood -- Poison
Water -- Sleep
Fire -- Wither
