+# Keeper's Path
+
+_The five choices of the level ladder: your Calling, your Specialisation, an aquarium feature, a mastery and your Signature._
+
+## Five choices
+
+At levels 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 the level room asks you to choose. Each choice gives a small bonus and something new to do, and together they shape what kind of keeper you are.
+
+Open the level room from the ring at the top left and pick the Keeper's Path tab. A step that is waiting glows gold, and the level-up moment takes you there when you reach it. Every choice shows what it does in numbers before you take it.
+
+## Level 10 · your Calling
+
+Choose one of four Callings. Each is a small bonus in its own field:
+
+- Caretaker: care pays 10% more XP (cleans, meals by hand, filter services and Remedies).
+- Breeder: every pair is 10% more likely to lay an egg.
+- Merchant: fish you sell pay 2% more coins.
+- Explorer: Pearl Catch rounds pay 5% more coins and XP.
+
+## Level 25 · your Specialisation
+
+Each Calling has two Specialisations, and you choose one:
+
+- Caretaker · Healer: a Remedy costs 20% less.
+- Caretaker · Glass Keeper: a clean pays 25% more XP.
+- Breeder · Warm Nest: bred eggs hatch 2 hours sooner.
+- Breeder · Colour Keeper: an egg that takes a parent's colour takes the rarer one 75% of the time.
+- Merchant · Fair Trader: School order and Wanted board deliveries pay 4% more coins.
+- Merchant · Collector: a finished Journal page pays 10% more coins.
+- Explorer · Pearl Diver: Pearl Catch rounds pay 7% more again.
+- Explorer · Tinkerer: Workshop bowls take 10% less time.
+
+## Level 50 · an aquarium feature
+
+A lasting feature for every aquarium you keep:
+
+- Busy Bench: one more mixing slot on the Workshop bench.
+- Showcase: 6 more decoration slots in every aquarium.
+- Deep Hopper: every automatic feeder holds 25% more meals.
+
+## Level 75 · mastery
+
+Master your Specialisation. Deepen it and its effect counts twice, or Broaden and take your Calling's other Specialisation as well, at full strength.
+
+## Level 100 · your Signature
+
+Choose the Tide Fountain or the Reef Crown: a one-of-a-kind decoration that goes to your stash, a title of its own, and fish sales that pay 1% more.
+
+## Changing a choice
+
+Every choice can be changed from its card. Your first change is free. After that a change costs 2,000 coins times (your level / 20) squared, and that step waits 7 days before it can change again. Changing your Calling clears your Specialisation and its mastery, so you choose them again.
+
+## The Legendary Line
+
+From level 30 the Keeper's Path tab also shows your Legendary Line. A line starts with a rare pair: a female and a male of one species that both wear Ink or both wear Coral, and are both gold or better when the egg is laid.
+
+That egg is the Founder of your line and wears the line's crest on its card for life. Your first one earns the Line Founder title. The line goes on in a later update.
