A practical KOTAMON guide for collectors

KOTAMON combines a relaxed garbage-collecting routine with a trading-card hunt. You rummage through discarded objects, complete work around the dump site, uncover treasures, and build a card collection along the way. This independent guide hub is organized around the questions that interrupt a real play session: which cards have been documented, how the four color sets are organized, where to look next, what foil cards change, and which achievements still need attention. Each section is designed as a direct route to an answer, with related guides linked together so you can move from discovery to repair, valuation, set completion, and achievement planning without searching through unrelated posts.

Start with the beginner's guide if you are learning the basic loop. Use the card database when you need a searchable reference, then open the collection tracker to mark normal and foil finds. Tracker progress is stored in your browser, so it works without an account and does not upload your checklist to this site.

Card pages distinguish documented information from details that still need retail verification. That matters for a newly released game: footage, demo builds, store descriptions, and player reports do not always describe the same version. We link claims to their evidence tier and avoid filling gaps with invented card names, locations, values, or drop rates. When reliable information changes, the relevant guide is updated instead of silently presenting an old build as current.

How to use the KOTAMON card database

Cards, sets, rarity, and condition

The main database brings the collection fields together in one place. Browse every currently documented card, narrow the list by set or rarity, and open an individual record for its known condition, value, source, and discovery notes. The separate rare-card index focuses on SR and SSR entries, while the set index groups cards by the four color collections used by the game.

Condition is useful because a damaged find and a repaired card should not be treated as identical records. Where evidence supports it, a card entry can show base and repaired values separately. Unknown values stay visibly unknown. This keeps the database useful for planning without turning an incomplete observation into a false promise about profit or availability.

Foils and collection progress

Foil cards have their own index and guide because they matter to collectors and to achievement planning. The foil-card guide explains the documented cereal-box connection and clearly marks anything that still requires confirmation. Use it together with the tracker rather than assuming every card or container follows an undocumented fixed probability.

The tracker provides separate controls for ordinary and foil copies. Checkmarks are saved with localStorage on the current device. Clearing browser storage removes that progress, so export a JSON backup before resetting the browser or moving computers. The tracker does not require a login, does not sell collection data, and can be reset whenever you want a clean playthrough.

Plan a useful KOTAMON play session

Before you rummage

Review the beginner and money guides, note the cards or achievements you want to target, and export the tracker if it already contains important progress. A short objective is easier to verify than trying to collect everything in one run.

While you explore

Use the location and treasure indexes as reference points, but pay attention to build differences and your own game state. If a documented route no longer matches, capture the platform, version, and location so the report can be checked properly.

After the session

Mark normal and foil copies, inspect incomplete color sets, and compare achievement requirements with the dedicated index. Corrections backed by an official source or reproducible retail evidence can be sent through the contact page.
