Squirt's Necklace

Squirt's Necklace is a high-risk amulet: as long as you take no damage at all, your damage dealt climbs steadily until it doubles - but at full charge you also take more damage in return. The effect rewards clean, hit-free play and instantly punishes any avoidable mistake by resetting your hard-earned stack.

The amulet shines in builds that deal damage from safe range or behind reliable damage avoidance, and it's one of the strongest multipliers when played flawlessly. Tip: pair it with skills or items that keep you at a distance or intercept hits, so your stack stays high. If you play melee-heavy and constantly take hits, you give away most of its potential.

Two caps that grow together

The power has two fixed limits: up to 100% more damage dealt and up to 50% more damage taken. Both ramp up together while nothing hits you, so the penalty on incoming damage peaks exactly when your output does - the first hit after a long clean stretch lands especially hard. There is no roll range on the power itself; every copy gives the identical effect, so you are only hunting for the other stats.

What to look for on a drop

Two affixes are fixed: Critical Hit Damage at 51–100% and +71–80% Extra Gold from Monsters. Critical Hit Damage is the one that matters here, and a roll close to 100% is a noticeable upgrade. You also get a main stat at 626 to 750 points. For the open slots, aim for Critical Hit Chance, a socket and bonus damage for your main skill's element, such as Cold, Fire or Physical; Ranged Damage Reduction is the defensive option.

Cube, follower and common partners

The power fits the jewelry slot of Kanai's Cube, which leaves your neck slot open for a different amulet. Your follower can wear the necklace as well. It is frequently paired with Ring of Royal Grandeur, Convention of Elements, Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle, Goldwrap, Echoing Fury and Stone of Jordan.

The flavor text describes a plain chunk of stone covered in runes, with the name of Kantwirt, the ancient god of thieves, scratched onto its back - a neat fit for the built-in gold bonus.
