Abyss Gears are socketable items that can be embedded into equipment to provide various bonuses.
Visit a Witch in any region to embed or remove Abyss Gears from equipment sockets.
Companionship III lists +3 Pet Trust Gain. Learn Gear Blueprint: Companionship, then craft it at a Witch using 2 Companionship II. The blueprint teaches all three tiers in this Abyss Gear family. The listed Harmonious Hooves X reference is separate from the older shrine/legendary-horse route notes below; this recipe does not validate those route details or the quoted Silver price.

The recorded effect is +3 Pet Trust Gain. The older interaction account assumed five pettings and three feedings per day, producing conditional extra totals of 15 and 9 respectively. A later account on this page instead assumed roughly five interactions in total. Those inconsistent caps, a fixed one-day taming result and additive stacking with Rabbit Leather Mask or other affixes are not independently established by the item record.
Companionship III can be obtained for free from a Sealed Abyss Artifact in the open world south of the Crimson Desert region. Fast travel to the nearest point west of the target, aerial force palm into the sky, and fly due east. The marker sits near a curved road close to a set of train tracks, and the artifact displays on the mini map as a small purple pot icon. Players who have already registered every entry in the Legendary Horses list unlock the Companionship III core instantly on interaction rather than having to clear the artifact's puzzle.
After you have the core, take it to any witch vendor for embedding. Socket it into a piece of pet-facing gear that you keep equipped during taming sessions so the +3 per-interaction bonus is always active when you are farming trust.
The earlier preferred-food examples from Pet Taming Guide assumed that +3 is added to each successful interaction: a 35-trust feed would yield 38 and a 25-trust feed would yield 28 under that assumption. Five 35-trust interactions would total 190 rather than 175. These are conditional arithmetic examples, not confirmation of the food values, stacking behavior or the conflicting roughly-five-per-day cap. The item record only supplies +3 Pet Trust Gain; check the actual pet interaction and trust response before planning a one-session tame.
The bird feeder introduced in Patch 1.04 is Sotdae of Bond. The older Sigil of Bond label conflates it with Sigil of Bonding, a cat-shoulder item that lets a cat remain longer. Earlier bird-food examples used Barley at 25 trust and Lean Meat at 35, giving conditional 28/38 totals with an additive +3. Those feeding values, daily limits and the application of this gear to every feeder visit remain unverified by the item and patch descriptions.
The older Rabbit Leather Mask example assumed a further Companion Trust +2 alongside this gear: 35 + 3 + 2 would equal 40 if both bonuses apply additively. That arithmetic does not establish compatibility, stacking, the daily interaction limit or a guaranteed 100-trust tame in one visit. Check the resulting trust gain rather than treating the example as a universal payout.
The cleanest unlock route for Companionship III is the Sealed Abyss Artifact that sits at a roadside shrine in the Crimson Desert region. Pick it up from the shrine and two outcomes are possible. If you have already tamed and registered every entry on the Legendary Horses list, the sealed artifact immediately grants the Companionship III core at the moment of interaction, and you walk away with both the core and an artifact in a single loot pickup. If the legendary-horse set is not yet complete, the artifact still enters your inventory, but the core is not awarded directly on pickup and needs the artifact's normal clear path to produce the reward.
Finding the shrine itself is straightforward on the mini-map: it is a small pickup point along a roadside near the Crimson Desert region's curved main road. The full video walkthrough of the shrine location is documented in the comprehensive Pet Taming Guide. The earlier shrine account describes a one-time pickup. Additional copies are also covered by the recorded Witch recipe: learn Gear Blueprint: Companionship, then combine 2 Companionship II. The older shrine directions and legendary-horse completion shortcut above remain separate, unverified route notes.
Companionship III is the top tier of the Companionship family of Abyss Cores. The two earlier tiers are worth keeping in mind if you are still building toward the III core or if you want to socket additional pet-facing gear during long taming runs:
Companionship I - the entry tier of the line, with a smaller per-interaction trust bonus. Easier to acquire and useful on a secondary piece of gear while you are still working toward the full set.
Companionship II - the middle tier. Drops more often than III and makes a reasonable placeholder on the main taming piece until the III core is unlocked.
Gear Blueprint: Companionship - teaches recipes for Companionship I, II and III. It does not describe unrelated equipment with a native trust socket. Craft tier III from 2 Companionship II at a Witch after learning this blueprint.
Slot Companionship III on a piece of gear you rarely swap, so the +3 bonus is active every time you walk up to a new spawn. Running it on a permanently equipped accessory is the lowest-maintenance setup.
The older preferred-food example gives 35 + 3 = 38 only if its base value and additive bonus apply. It does not establish five daily slots or make every petting interaction wasteful; check the animal's actual trust response.
The older Rabbit Leather Mask pairing assumes 35 + 3 + 2 = 40. Confirm that both bonuses apply together before estimating three interactions to reach 100 trust; neither that combination nor the usual-five comparison is established here.
The older Golden Carp tip claimed an instant cat tame. Patch 1.08 prevents legendary fish from being sold, used or discarded, but does not expressly resolve a separate pet-feeding interaction. The tip is therefore unverified for current use; do not assume a valuable legendary fish will bypass the pet's limits.
For birds, use the Sotdae of Bond feeder rather than the older Sigil of Bond label. The earlier minutes-between-landings estimate and the application of +3 to every nearby feed are not independently established by the patch or item description.
Track one pet at a time. Swapping between multiple active tames during a single day makes it easy to spend interaction slots on the wrong animal; focusing on one Companions target per session is the most efficient way to convert Companionship III's +3 into closed tames.
After each tame, check the Pets menu to rename and outfit the new companion. The Companionship III bonus only applies during the taming process itself; once the pet is in the roster, the core's job on that animal is done and the slot is free to be re-tasked for the next target.
