Birds of the Arc is an activity in the Arc. Players can try to find all sixteen birds listed in the Arc Journal Birds pages. There are two descriptions for each bird - one before sighting it and a different description after it has been found.
Players can get hints about bird locations from Odd Billy on Cyclosis. After discovering a new bird in the Arc, players will no longer have the option to inspect that type of bird again.
Some birds appear on certain islands at particular times, while others are drawn by player activities such as skilling. Birds are not instanced and they do not appear on the minimap. All skill-related birds can be spawned on the named Arc islands and on Uncharted Isles by participating in the corresponding activities. No matter the size of the voyage, there is about a 10% chance[source needed] that players will encounter a bird, so short voyages are the most efficient when trying to find these birds.
Island specific birds spawn every 30 minutes starting on the hour, stay active for ten minutes, and are synchronised across all worlds. On some occasions, they may spawn a little bit early or late.
