Every new Envoy in Soulframe picks one of three starter pacts during character creation: Tethren, Oscelda or Sirin. This guide to Soulframe pacts covers what a pact is, which ones exist, how to unlock them and how switching works.
โ๏ธ What Is a Pact in Soulframe?
A pact is the closest thing Soulframe has to a class. According to the community wiki (wiki.avakot.org), it is a swappable piece of gear worn on your Envoy's right arm. Each pact gives you three active abilities, the Arcanics, plus two passives in its own skill tree (Pact Arts). You are not locked into your starter pact and can eventually collect all of them.
Like weapons, pacts level from rank 0 to 30. The community wiki says each fully levelled pact gives you 30 Pact Art points. Every pact you own takes up Storage Capacity.
๐งช Pacts and the Three Virtues
Soulframe has three Virtues: Courage, Spirit and Grace. The key point many players miss: every pact has three Arcanics, and each one belongs to a different Virtue. According to the community wiki, Courage empowers the first Arcanic of every pact, Spirit the second and Grace the third.
So no pact is tied to a single Virtue. Take Ode Tempest: Seismor scales with Courage, Astra Sphere with Spirit and Atmos Sphere with Grace.
Before Preludes 13, some pacts did give a flat bonus to one Virtue, for example Bromius and Mora's Hand to Courage or Garren Rood to Spirit. The community wiki notes that this bonus was removed in Preludes 13 so you can play any pact with whatever Virtue spread you prefer.
๐ฆ All Soulframe Pacts at a Glance
The community wiki lists nine regular pacts. The table shows their three Arcanics in the order Courage / Spirit / Grace and how you unlock each one.
| Pact | Arcanics (Courage / Spirit / Grace) | Unlock (community wiki) |
|---|---|---|
| Tethren | Fellust / Call of the Ancients / Clash | Starter; otherwise faction rank 3 |
| Oscelda | Bestone / Elderbloom / Phantom Flock | Starter; otherwise faction rank 3 |
| Sirin | Picktrix Powder / Trick of the Light / Glamour | Starter; otherwise faction rank 3 |
| Ode Tempest | Seismor / Astra Sphere / Atmos Sphere | Alca's Children or Silent Rose, rank 5 |
| Mora's Hand | Ignus Wroth / Ember / Inferno | Kith of Kings, rank 5 |
| Bromius | Rump Thump / Wevetroot / Song of Growth | Fable "The Waste Bear" |
| Garren Rood | Torment / Behest / Stampede | Fable "The Torment Stag" |
| Orengall | Werewalker / Packhunter / Howl | Fable "The Shewolf Snared" |
| Duelo | Flintlock / Bravada / Duo Duelo | Fable "The Wreck of Mestra Carmo" |
On playstyle, the community wiki describes Tethren as aggressive melee, Oscelda as magic and crowd control, and Sirin as stealth. Bromius is built around high armour and area damage, Ode Tempest around Voltaic damage, Mora's Hand around fire. Orengall transforms you with Werewalker and summons wolves with Packhunter. Garren Rood drains life with Torment, and Duelo fights with a flintlock pistol and a ghostly clone.
โจ Wyld Pacts and the 13th Slot
On top of that, the community wiki lists three Wyld pacts: Wyld Tethren, Wyld Oscelda and Wyld Sirin. They are variants of the three starters with the same Arcanics and come from the Founders packs (the matching Wyld collection or Paragon). They share the skill tree of their base version but are mastered separately.
That makes twelve pacts. The in-game pact selection screen, however, counts 13 slots. One of them is a locked silhouette that is not documented anywhere yet, so what it is remains open.
Preludes 16 did not add a new pact. The community wiki lists a Vadagar pact as upcoming. It belongs to the Fable "Warsongs", announced for fall 2026 without a release date.
๐ก How to Unlock Soulframe Pacts
The route depends on the pact. Everything below comes from the community wiki:
- Starter pacts: You pick one for free during the Fable "Rise, Envoy". The other two are sold by factions from rank 3 for 12,500 Favour each (formerly Standing), or for 150 Arcs in the Wares of Zenith.
- Ode Tempest: Alca's Children (rank 5 "Alora's Ward") or Silent Rose (rank 5 "Silent Saboteur") for 27,500 Favour, or 215 Arcs.
- Mora's Hand: Kith of Kings from rank 5 "Servant to Mora" for 27,500 Favour, or 225 Arcs.
- Fable pacts: Bromius, Garren Rood and Orengall give you a fragment when you finish their Fable. Duelo drops as three fragments over the course of "The Wreck of Mestra Carmo".
The wiki lists extra copies of Bromius, Garren Rood and Duelo at Avakot's Gots for 3,000 Dracs. Orengall is the exception: further copies are only available for Arcs, the game's premium currency.
The smith Tuvalkane turns fragments into a finished pact. According to the community wiki, that costs materials, 5,000 Dracs and 27 hours, and most recipes require Bond rank 3 with her.
๐ ๏ธ Crafting Materials
According to the community wiki, every recipe needs fragments, three materials, 5,000 Dracs and 27 hours of crafting time. The last column shows the Wares of Zenith price if you would rather buy the pact outright with Arcs; the wiki notes that Storage Capacity is included there.
| Pact | Materials (community wiki) | Arcs |
|---|---|---|
| Tethren | 55 Scrap Iron, 50 Whisprig, 50 Patch Leather | 150 |
| Oscelda | 55 Scrap Brass, 15 Moranite, 50 Dendrit Weave | 150 |
| Sirin | 55 Scrap Steel, 15 River Pearl, 50 Sproutfolk Frond | 150 |
| Ode Tempest | 55 Scrap Brass, 30 Ode Graphite, 15 Sappheline | 215 |
| Mora's Hand | 55 Scrap Brass, 15 Sappheline, 50 Quenching Acid | 225 |
| Bromius | 55 Scrap Steel, 15 Moranite, 15 River Pearl | 250 |
| Garren Rood | 70 Scrap Iron, 50 Patch Leather, 50 Gossamer Quartz | 235 |
| Orengall | 40 Scrap Steel, 50 Patch Leather, 15 River Pearl | 245 |
| Duelo (3 fragments) | 55 Scrap Brass, 40 Gossamer Quartz, 15 Moranite | 245 |
Upgrade materials like Amber Lampyrite have their own Amber Lampyrite farming guide.
๐ Switching and Levelling Pacts
A pact is swappable gear. Once you own more than one, you simply equip a different one, so your starter pick never locks you into a playstyle. According to the community wiki, each loadout also saves its own Virtue distribution, which makes switching between differently built setups painless.
Arcanics unlock in stages. For most pacts the wiki lists ranks 0, 5 and 10 for the first, second and third ability. Getting to the Fable areas is quicker once you have World Tree fast travel unlocked.

As of October 8, 2026, Preludes 16 with Hotfix 4. Sources: community wiki wiki.avakot.org (Pacts, Virtues, Pact Arts, Wares of Zenith and the individual pact pages) and the in-game pact selection screen. There is no official Soulframe wiki. Since the game is still in the Preludes phase, the pact list and unlock routes can change.
