Raven (Prifddinas)

Ravens are birds in Prifddinas that are components in unlocking the Ravensworn title. They spawn at 00:00 UTC every 13 days and disappear 23 hours later. The first day a raven appeared was 4 October 2014, meaning the next raven would appear on 17 October 2014, and so on. Its location varies from world to world, being known to inhabit one of at least 9 locations. Its location per world is the same for every player, but its appearance and examine text varies from player to player.

Spotting a raven with the left click option prompts the message. Spotting 13 unlocks the title. Only one raven can be spotted per spawn, and all ravens on all worlds disappear for a player after being spotted. The earliest time at which the title can be obtained is 9 March 2015.

Before the method of obtaining the title was discovered, Mod Raven gave various hints on how to obtain it, using clues about bad luck to hint at a theme surrounding the number 13. Mod Raven posted a tweet promising to disclose everything about obtaining the title if he had at least 10,000 Twitter followers before 4 October, and, having surpassed this mark before the date, then stated that he would give a cryptic solution the following Monday. As the first set of ravens spawned before he could reveal the solution, providing one proved unnecessary, although he did clarify how often the ravens spawned.

Trivia

 * The method of unlocking the title is themed around the number 13: the ravens spawn on every 13th day, 13 of them need to be spotted, and the Ravensworn is 13 letters long.
 * They initially only appeared for 13 hours, but this was changed to 23 hours with the release of batch 2.
 * Upon release, there was a bug allowing players to click a raven several times in one go, possibly unlocking the title prematurely. Their progress towards the title was reset. Anyone who did it were presented with the message:
 * The ravens' examine texts are references to Mod Raven, who usually portrays himself as the future overlord of mankind.
 * The examine text about familiars is a reference to the song "".
 * The examine text could be a reference to the wise and just Raven King Uskglass in the 1100's.
 * A bug caused spotting the 13th Raven at the reset on 9 March 2015 to reset a player's progress back to 0. This has been fixed, and it may now be spotted safely to unlock the title.
