Faith Incremental Souls & Relics Guide

Souls are the most underrated currency in Faith Incremental. I ignored them for my first 30 rebirths and missed out on significant bonuses. Draining spirits takes 10 seconds and the Soul upgrades persist through rebirth, making them one of the best time investments in the game.

After 50+ rebirths, I've collected hundreds of Souls, dozens of Relics, and maxed my Bible collection. These secondary systems add depth to the core loop and provide meaningful progression outside of the rebirth grind.

Souls

How to Get Souls

Souls come from draining spirits that spawn around the church. Look for glowing orbs floating near the edges of the play area.

Draining Process:

Walk up to a spirit
Hold the interact button
Wait 5-10 seconds for the drain to complete
Soul added to your collection

Spirits spawn every few minutes. I check for them between upgrade purchases and during rebirth cooldowns.

Soul Upgrades

Souls buy permanent upgrades that persist through rebirth:

Upgrade	Cost	Effect
Soul Blessing	5 Souls	+5% Faith generation
Spirit Link	10 Souls	+10% passive gains
Ethereal Bond	25 Souls	+15% all multipliers
Soul Mastery	50 Souls	+25% rebirth bonus

Get Soul Mastery first, then Ethereal Bond, then Spirit Link, then Soul Blessing. The rebirth bonus from Soul Mastery compounds with every future rebirth. Get it as soon as you can afford it.

Soul Farming Tips

Check corners. Spirits spawn in predictable locations near the church walls. I do a quick lap every 5 minutes.

Don't interrupt drains. Moving cancels the drain and wastes time. Stay still until the animation completes.

Prioritize during idle sessions. If you're actively playing, focus on Faith. If you're semi-AFK, hunt spirits.

Souls persist through rebirth. Unlike Faith, you keep your Souls forever. No rush to spend them.

Relics

How to Get Relics

Relics are rare drops from various activities:

Spin Wheel occasionally drops Relics
Daily Challenges reward Relics at certain milestones
Rebirth Milestones grant specific Relics
Events sometimes feature exclusive Relics

Relics are RNG-based. I've gotten 3 Relics in one day and then gone a week without seeing one.

Relic Types

Relic	Effect	Source
Holy Grail	+50% Faith generation	Rebirth 25
Angel Feather	+25% click power	Spin Wheel
Divine Scroll	+30% passive gains	Daily Challenge
Sacred Stone	+20% all multipliers	Event Exclusive
Blessed Chalice	+10% Shard drops	Rebirth 50

Best Relics: Holy Grail and Sacred Stone are the most impactful. Angel Feather is good for active players.

Relic Stacking

Relics stack with each other and with regular upgrades. A player with Holy Grail (+50%) and Sacred Stone (+20%) gets 80% bonus Faith before other multipliers apply.

This is why late-game players progress so much faster. The Relic bonuses compound with rebirth multipliers and upgrade trees.

Relic Tips

Don't skip daily challenges. The Relic rewards are worth the effort even if individual challenges seem tedious.

Push rebirth milestones. Rebirth 25 and 50 grant guaranteed Relics. Worth grinding for.

Spin daily. The wheel is free once per day. Even if you don't get a Relic, you might get Shards or Faith.

Bibles

How to Get Bibles

Bibles are permanent progression items that boost Faith generation. They're earned through:

Rebirth Milestones grant Bibles at specific counts
Achievement Completion rewards Bibles
Special Events sometimes feature Bible rewards

Unlike Souls and Relics, Bibles are guaranteed rewards for specific actions.

Bible Bonuses

Each Bible provides a flat Faith generation bonus that persists through rebirth:

Bible	Bonus	Source
Genesis	+100 Faith/sec	Rebirth 5
Exodus	+250 Faith/sec	Rebirth 10
Psalms	+500 Faith/sec	Rebirth 25
Proverbs	+1,000 Faith/sec	Rebirth 50
Revelation	+2,500 Faith/sec	Rebirth 100

These flat bonuses seem small late game, but they're multiplied by your rebirth multiplier and upgrade bonuses. A +100 Faith/sec Bible at Rebirth 50 with 1000x multiplier becomes +100,000 Faith/sec. Check the rebirth guide for how multipliers stack.

Bible Collection Strategy

Focus on rebirth milestones. Most Bibles come from rebirth counts. Push for 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100.

Complete achievements. Some achievements grant Bibles. Check the achievement list and work toward Bible rewards.

Don't ignore early Bibles. Genesis and Exodus seem weak, but they compound with multipliers.

Collection Priority

If you're wondering what to focus on, here's the breakdown. The main guide covers the full progression path.

Early Game (Rebirths 1-10)

Faith and Rebirths are still the priority
Souls when you see spirits, but don't hunt them
Bibles come naturally from rebirth milestones

Mid Game (Rebirths 10-50)

Souls become more valuable as upgrades unlock
Relics from daily challenges and spin wheel
Bibles from pushing rebirth milestones

Late Game (Rebirths 50+)

All three systems contribute meaningfully
Soul Mastery is a priority if you don't have it
Relic hunting through events and challenges

Common Mistakes

Ignoring Souls Early

Souls seem pointless when you're focused on Faith. But Soul upgrades persist through rebirth and compound over time. Start collecting early.

Skipping Daily Challenges

Daily challenges reward Relics and Shards. Skipping them means missing permanent progression.

Not Checking for Spirits

Spirits spawn regularly but despawn if ignored. A quick lap around the church every few minutes catches most of them.

Spending Souls on Wrong Upgrades

Soul Blessing (+5% Faith) is tempting early but Soul Mastery (+25% rebirth bonus) is far more valuable long-term. Save for the expensive upgrades.
