# Marriage tools and resources

There are 2 important points to keep in mind.  They are the reason we always marry parents of the same rank.

1. <mark style="color:$success;">Same Rank Bonus</mark>. Children born from parents of the same rank receive some free awakening bonus (and possibly inherit more skill slots. Not confirmed). Mismatch ranks means no bonus at all.
2. <mark style="color:$success;">Affinity</mark> (shown in-game as Compatibility). When job pairs have higher affinity, child will receive higher Same Rank Bonus. Affinity is the data mined from game and goes from 60-100, while Compatibility is what shown in game as A B C D E

* Part of KA Interactive Tool. Input the jobs you have along with gender (f m u for gender. "guard u" for ex), click "Calculate" at bottom/bottom-right and it find all matches for you.

* Actual child awakening formula in the first tab
* Job pair affinity in the `JobPair_lookup` tab

So how do we make use of these? Let's take an example from my [simplified table](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ic1CIdFFoeU_wvmMuMPpd84DF3XCb0Ln_HPJ-qg1PrY).

This means:

* Farmer is best paired with carpenter and researcher
* Farmer + Carpenter ⇒ produce Entertainer offspring
* Farmer + Researcher ⇒ produce Blacksmith offspring

Do we need to always pick pair with best affinity? Short answer is, no. Especially not important for non-combat offspring. However. We already take time to marry the parents. Might as well go for the best right?
