It is not uncommon to trade souls in the Bloodlines game. Some players want only their lover to hold their soul or only their liege, or someone in their current clan. The possibilities are endless. If it is a friendly transaction you can make an agreement with the soul holder and use reapers to trade souls instead of paying out the L$999 for an electrum potion.
To do this wear your reaper. Click on it. A drop down menu will appear. It will scan those players within 25m of you. Choose the one you wish to reap from. It will then ask if it is a specific soul you want. Follow the instructions and type in the name of the specific soul you wish to reap. A particle effects animation will occur as you puncture the soul holder and reap the soul. Shown here Player 1 reaps a soul from Player 2.
Then Player 2 will click on their reaper and follow the same menu instructions. The soul being traded should be established and agreed upon before the trade is made. Some players only want an active soul for an active soul. You do not want to get to this point to argue over which soul you are receiving. In this case, all souls were agreed upon beforehand.
The animation occurs again as the soul is reaped from Player 1 by Player 2. The transaction is complete.
Maintaining good communication is essential for a soul trade. Everyone in this case was pleased and felt satisfied with the results.
