Aquarist's Path
The five choices of the level ladder: your Calling, your Specialisation, an aquarium feature, a Deepening and your Signature.
Five choices
At levels 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 the Aquarist's Book asks you to choose. Each choice gives a small bonus and something new to do, and together they shape what kind of Aquarist you are.
Open the Aquarist's Book from the ring at the top left; it opens on the Aquarist's Path. A step that is waiting glows gold, and its choice opens by itself when you enter the game, after any level-up. Close it and it asks again a day later. Every choice shows what it does in numbers before you take it.
The Aquarist Coral is the Path's picture: it grows a piece with every level, each choice is a branch on it, and it is crowned at level 100. Visitors read your depth and Calling on your card.
Tap an Aquarist's coral on their card to see how far it has grown. It lives on the card and in your Aquarist's Book, never in the aquarium.
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 Aquarist: a clean pays 25% more XP.
- Breeder · Warm Nest: bred eggs hatch 2 hours sooner.
- Breeder · Colour Aquarist: 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: All 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 · Deepening
Take your Specialisation further. 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 Pantry, 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 Deepening, so you choose them again.
The Legendary Line
From level 30 the Aquarist'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.
