Breeder's First Card
The world of Soul Seal
A valley ringed by mountains, a village of breeders, and creatures whose souls can be sealed into cards.
The world
The Vale
The game takes place in one open valley, walled in by a ring of mountains. Roads run out from the village square to the field, the lake and the forest. There is a day and night cycle: the village lamps light up at dusk, and some fish only rise at night.
Your character levels from 1 to 30. Creatures 5 or more levels below you give no XP, and the first visit to each named place gives 60 XP. The coin of the Vale is Sealscript.
Lumen Yard
The village at the centre of the Vale: the Sleeping Wyvern inn, the guild hall, the smithy and houses around the well.
Ashgrass Field
Open grassland west of the village, the first hunting and taming ground.
Crow's Rock
A cliff over the Hollow Root cave mouth, north-west of the field.
Northwood
The great forest north of the village; the forest road leads through it.
Redcloak Camp
A bandit camp in red cloaks, deep in Northwood.
Greyfang Heights
A cliff plateau in the west; orc brutes come down from it.
Wolfrun Meadows
Meadows south of the field where dire wolves hunt.
Sunstep Crag
A small crag north-east of the village with a view over the trees.
Mirror Lake
The lake south-east of the village, with a pier, a rowboat and a campfire.
Hollow Root
A four-room cave under Crow's Rock. More below ›
Your class
The Soul Breeder
The Breeder heals, buffs, tames and positions. The pets do most of the damage. The whole kit fits on a ten-slot hotbar, with two tinctures on keys 9 and 0.
Mace Swing
A committed melee swing with your weapon; a dodge roll cancels it.
Soul Bind
A 5 s channel on a full-health creature. Defeat it under the Soul Mark to roll the card.
Summon Creature
Calls the creature in formation row 1.
Recall Creature
Puts your creature back in its card and heals it 15%.
Dual Summon
Calls row 2 as a second creature for 20 seconds.
Vitality Support
+18% max HP and +8% DEF for your creatures.
Strength Support
+16% ATK for your creatures. One support at a time.
Celestial Bloom
Heals 160 + 0.4 × WIS around you.
Self Mending
Heals you 140 + 0.25 × WIS.
Dodge Roll
A 4 m roll with a moment of invulnerability.
Taming and cards
Risk on the cast
- Put an empty card of the creature's kind on hotbar slot 1.
- Find the creature at full health, within 12 m and in sight, and channel Soul Bind for 5 seconds while it fights back.
- It carries your Soul Mark for 45 seconds. Defeat it.
- The card rolls: sealed on a success, destroyed on a failure.
| Rarity | Seal chance | Empty card drop |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 67% | 15% |
| Uncommon | 40% | 10% |
| Unique | 22% | 0% |
Each enchant level on a card adds 4%, up to 92%. Your first card is a gift from Sister Maren and always seals.
Pets and formation
Three rows, two at your side
The Creature Formation window (Y) has three rows. Row 1 answers Summon Creature, row 2 answers Dual Summon for 20 seconds, and row 3 waits in reserve. Command them to attack (T), follow (G) or switch between passive and aggressive (B).
- Creatures level up to 8, and never past your own level.
- Each soul has a nature: Feral (ATK), Tender (HP), Sly (speed), Stubborn (DEF), Luminous (HP), +8%.
- Sister Maren evolves them at level 5 and 8 for 100 and 250 Sealscript: +25% to all stats per stage.
- A fallen creature costs its card 20 durability and waits 8 seconds before it can return.
