Soulframe Beginner Tips — 10 Best Practices
Short habits that save hours in Preludes. For the full onboarding flow see the Beginner's guide.
- Summon your Sparrow (G) whenever you are lost — it paths to the active objective.
- Recruit Tuvalkane early via The Steelsinger — no crafting without the blacksmith (unlock steps).
- Craft often to reach Bond 3 — required for Pacts and higher recipes.
- Hold Spectral Sight in every new zone — chests, Motes, and weak points stay hidden otherwise.
- Match Virtue to your weapon before you invest points (Virtues overview).
- Pick a Pact that fits your weapon family, not just the trailer fantasy.
- Do Sparrow's Tales in each region — free pact and weapon XP plus materials.
- Save Gossamer Quartz for weapons — not cosmetic armour early.
- Unlock a second weapon in Nightfold before Torment Stag.
- Track Agari with our timer once world bosses are on your map (locations).
