Notes

• This NPC can be interacted with through the Trust system by greeting and giving gifts.

Taming the Crow

The Crow can be tamed as a companion pet using the Sigil of Bond, a bird feeder item introduced in the recent pet update. See the Pet Taming Guide for the full taming workflow and the Companion Trust article for how trust progression works across all pets.

To start a crow tame, equip the Sigil of Bond from the inventory, carry it out, and place it on the ground in an area where crows fly overhead. Place the feeder on high ground, such as a cliff top or hill crest, so birds can spot it clearly from their flight path. After the feeder is placed, crows take roughly two to six minutes to land on a stocked Sigil, so expect a short wait between drop and first landing.

Once the crow is feeding, each interaction raises its trust score toward the 100 threshold. When trust fills, walk up to the bird and take it in as a pet.

Food Preferences

Crows are small birds, so they accept both meat and small-bird food. Stock the Sigil with a mix of bait to cover whatever lands first. Crows prefer meat: fish and Lean Meat from any town butcher work well. Small-bird foods such as bugs, vegetables, and grains also score trust, with Barley giving 25 trust per feed, the top grain option for small birds.

Foods Accepted

Farming Spots

Two reliable cliff-side areas produce crow landings when the Sigil of Bond is stocked with meat, fish, and bugs.

Howling Hill Camp Area

Place the Sigil at the cliff top near Howling Hill Camp. The elevated ridgeline sits along the flight path of hawks and crows, and the same perch also draws geese when the feeder is stocked with grain. This is the starter-friendly spot for early bird taming since the camp itself is safe.

Fast-Travel Point North of Demeniss

A confirmed crow farming spot sits at the fast-travel point in the area immediately north of Demeniss. The fast-travel pad itself is safe even if the surrounding region is hostile; liberate the area first if needed, then drop the Sigil right next to the travel marker. Load the feeder with meat, bugs, and fish to cover whatever lands, and expect the usual two to six minute wait before the first bird arrives. This area pulls parrots, geese, pigeons, sparrows, and hawks in addition to crows, so a longer session here often yields multiple small birds from a single deployment.

Companion Behavior

Once tamed, a crow follows the player as a companion. Like the other tamed pets, a crow will autonomously collect items dropped near the player while exploring or during combat, so the player can keep attention on the fight while the pet grabs loot from downed enemies and resource nodes.

Smaller flying companions, including the crow, will land on the Pororin Petal Hat when the player wears it, perching on the brim rather than on the shoulder or arm. Larger flying pets like the Phoenix continue to perch on the arm instead. A tamed crow can also be dismissed and reassigned at any time through the pet menu, and it can be renamed like any other companion.
