Obtaining Blood, DNA and Hormones

Start off by crafting some Sampling Syringes. You can craft the smallest one from the player’s craftables list, the engram unlocks at level 20.

Place the syringe into the inventory of the desired creature and use ‘Draw Blood’ from the context menu. The extracted sample will be placed in the creature's inventory.

You can extract blood from your own tames, or you can collect them from wild creatures. Wild creatures will need to be unconscious before extracting.

You should then craft the Pheromone Lab for DNA or Hormone extraction, which unlocks at level 40. Place the samples in the lab inventory and use the ‘Begin Extraction’ option from the UI. Extraction occurs over time.

By default the lab will extract 2 DNA from one blood sample. This can be toggled on the lab’s UI to yield Hormones instead.

Crafting and Upgrading Traits

Once you have some DNA you can begin crafting Traits. They have 2 Main types, Skill Traits and Status Traits. Skill Traits have 2 sub-types, Active and Passive.

When a Status Trait is crafted, there is a 25% chance you will also receive a Skill Trait.

Each Creature has at least one Skill Trait you can acquire. All have 3 potency levels and can be upgraded once you obtain 2 of the same type.

When you get 2 of the same type, take the traits from the bench inventory and activate its radial menu.

From there select Transmutation Menu. A new inventory screen will open where you can place the Traits.

After placing at least 2 of the same type in the inventory, the Transmute button will be enabled. You can then transmute to upgrade the traits and receive a higher potency trait of that kind.

The new potency level will be the sum of the used traits potencies.
