11Overview22334455Crow is a Story NPC in Crimson Desert. A highly intelligent wild bird. A bird boasting sleek black feathers. It recognizes human faces and warns other crows if it senses danger. While seen as an omen of misfortune in some places and a symbol of hope in others, it inhabits all of Pywel.6677Stats8899StatValueHealth10EvadeN/ACC Gauge201010Knowledge11111212Interacting with Crow grants the following knowledge entries:13131414Crow15151616Notes17171818This NPC can be interacted with through the Trust system by greeting and giving gifts.19192020Taming the Crow21212222The 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.23232424To 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.25252626Once 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.27272828Food Preferences29293030Crows 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.31313232Foods Accepted33333434FoodCategoryNotesLean MeatMeatStrong meat option for small birds.

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.42424343Fast-Travel Point North of Demeniss44444545A 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.46464747Companion Behavior48484949Once 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.50505151Smaller 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.52525353See Also54545555NPCs - All NPCs in Crimson DesertTrust System - NPC relationship mechanics56+57+Database Stats58+59+Type: BIRD · Region: HERNAND · Favorite Food: Oats (+35 Trust)60+61+Pet Gear62+63+ItemSlotSigil of BondingACCESSORYSigil of ValorACCESSORYHunter's SigilACCESSORY64+Food Trust Reference65+66+FoodTrustInsect+25Grains+25Fruit+25Cultivation Item+20Dragonfly+25Golden Silk Spider+25Silkworm Moth+25Wild Silkworm Moth+25Swallowtail+25Ornythion Swallowtail Butterfly+25Polydamas Swallowtail Butterfly+25Zebra Swallowtail+25Zebra Longwing Butterfly+25Orange Oakleaf Butterfly+25Nawab Butterfly+25Purple Emperor Butterfly+25Lentils+25Peas+25Beans+25Barley+25Wheat+25Buckwheat+25Corn+25Oats+25Pineapple+2567+(Showing top 25 of 59 known foods that grant Trust.)
