One of the first questions new players ask when starting Soulframe is: “Can I unlock more Pacts (classes), or am I stuck with the one I chose at the beginning?”
The answer is simple: yes, you can unlock every Pact in Soulframe, no matter which one you started with. Some are easy to unlock, while others require more grinding and dedication.
In this quick guide, we explain how the Pact system works and the exact steps to unlock all classes.
How to Unlock Pacts in Soulframe
To unlock a new Pact, you need to craft it. There are three main requirements:
- Unlock crafting with Tuvalkane
Recruit Tuvalkane (Nightfold Ancestor) and raise your Bond to Level 3. The fastest way is crafting multiple weapons and armor pieces. - Get the Pact recipe
Some recipes are quest rewards (e.g., The Torment Stag for Garren Rood; The Shewolf Snared for Orengall). Others are purchased from factions at higher ranks (see below). Once obtained, the recipe appears in Tuvalkane’s forge. - Gather the required materials
Each Pact needs specific resources; check the full list in Tuvalkane’s crafting menu.
Pact Crafting & Faction Requirements
First, recruit Tuvalkane via a short Ancestors quest to enable crafting for Pacts, weapons, armor, and totems. Starter Pacts align with the virtues Spirit, Courage, and Grace. Advanced Pacts usually require faction Rank 5 and Bond 3 to craft.
How to Get Pact Recipes
- Easy unlocks (Quest-based)
Garren Rood (via The Torment Stag) and Orengall (via The Shewolf Snared) are obtained by progressing quests in the overworld; craft them at Tuvalkane (Bond 3). - Starter Pacts (Tethren, Oscelda, Sirin)
If you want a different starter than the one you chose, you must switch factions, build reputation, and unlock its rewards. (Faction changes typically have a cooldown, so plan your grind.) - Advanced Pacts (Ode Tempest, Mora’s Hand, etc.)
These are purchased from faction vendors at about Rank 5 (e.g., Ode Tempest and Mora’s Hand), then crafted with Bond 3 at Tuvalkane.
💡 Pro tip: To speed things up, team up with other players and focus on Level 3 Faction Tales in high-level zones (north/east). They grant strong faction standing and plenty of materials.
How to Farm Crafting Materials
The best sources for Pact materials are Faction Tales, the Crypt, and thorough overworld looting. To avoid separate grind sessions later, loot everything during runs:
- Open common, shiny, and lustrous chests (rare ones have a flower emblem).
- Pick up enemy loot bags.
- Break crates and barrels; check weapon racks.
Rare Resources to Watch
- Gossamer Quartz & Sappheline: Drop from rare golden chests and are efficiently farmed in the Crypt.
- River Pearls: Harvest along riverbanks in the overworld; also found in chests.
- Avakot’s Gots (merchant): Sells a rotating stock of crafting resources; check back regularly.
Yes, looting everything makes missions longer—but it saves you time later by preventing separate material grinds. Combine Faction Tales with Crypt runs for a balanced path to every Pact.
Summary: To unlock new Soulframe Pacts, enable the forge with Tuvalkane (Bond 3), obtain the appropriate recipe (quests or faction Rank 5 vendors), and gather materials. Consistent Faction Tales and smart looting are the fastest way to expand your lineup of classes.
