Good morning everyone, As it took me a little whole to truly figure everything out, I wanted to take a moment and share my findings. I didn't see anything detailed post so wanted to start one: CULTIST They produce soul shards (Little orbs around each soul type). You can upgrade 3 things: 1) Value (Number of soul shards per successfull action) 2) Speed (Frequency of action) 3) Luck (Improves chance of successful soul shard generation) They have 3 numbers below their name 1) Soul shard per successfull action 2) Experience awarded towards leveling soul harvesting 3) Frequency of action One additional number must be considered, and that is the % of success above the soul type that you have them working towards. Their purpose is to generate soul shards, the little orbs around the souls. They are NOT the ones controlling success rates or number of collected souls, they simply generate the CHANCE to obtain souls, which is completing a circle of soul shards around a soul. ACOLYTE They control your chances of successfully obtaining souls from a complete cycle of soul shards. You can upgrade 3 things: 1) Value (Number of souls per successfull action) 2) Speed (Improves number of souls per successfull action & experience towards leveling soul harvesting) 3) Luck (Improves the change of successful soul conversion) They have 3 numbers below their name 1) Souls collected per successful action 2) Experience awarded towards leveling soul havesting 3) Frequency of action (Only relevant towards exp of soul havesting) One addition detail is important, and that is the % of success above the soul types. Upgrading them will increase your chance of successful soul havest from a full cycle of soul shards. Each acolyte can give you up to 10% success chance towards one and 10% towards a second soul (As indicated above their icon), and they combine their chances together. Upgrading them will also give you more souls per sucess, and in their case, speed increase your souls per sucess. Their "action" only yields exp towards soul havesting. SUMMARY: Cultists will "feed" soul shards to your acolytes (Little circles around the souls) and each completed circle of shards represents 1 **chance** at collecting souls. Upgrading them will yield more shards, faster with a higher sucess rate for higher souls. Acolytes will take the shards from cultists and then attempt to harvest souls. You control the % of success per soul type by allocating their focus. Upgrading them will give you more souls per success and up to 10% per soul types that they target. These souls can then be used for rituals.

AAAAND I visited the forums where he communicates and realize he's sort of explained a lot of it there!! :P
