Is there a way to upgrade bird? How about Odin's vision?

[At@At]

Tl;DR I've noticed that the bird is pretty much useless in this game at least compared to other games... Any upgrade to Odin's vision would be nice too.

I only use it when the game asks me to search for something and even then it just shows me the area I'm supposed to search. That's pretty much the only use I have for it in this game outside of pointing out iron ore deposits. Yeah it can point out leather too but it doesn't even quickly tell me what type of animal it is, like in past games and u run across animals pretty easily. I guess it lets u target things but that's not too useful to me.

The bird is used for treasures and Opal. No other use I have found.

Spamming V for Odin vision helps very much tho when looting and questing.

You can also visually change the bird at a stable.

PS: leather and ores from animals are useless. I have 30K of each in my inventory and not sure what to do with those.

There's 1 perk for the bird, it's called Raven's loot, and the other is called Raven's distraction it's a ability with the books of knowledge and has two levels <-- The above is in spoiler tags in case you want to find out on your own during game play

The bird is very very useful, what are you talking about lol?

Imo a necessary nerf. It was way to overpowered in Odyssey & Origins. It is still very useful in scouting around & find good routes but it can't no longer permantly mark every in enemy in a kilometer-radius.

As craigsters pinpointed there's a skill making the raven picking drops of stuff killed with long range that's ultra powerful and not in Odyssey.

In some quests you know there's a target but the quest doesn't show yet the green square. In that case explore a region with the raven will allow reveal the green square and will be a lot faster than using horse/walk throughout the whole region.

When you have a quest target and get the hud message that you are in an exploration area use the raven will reduce a lot the search area with a green highlight, if you don't use it it's a lot of pointless pain.

It still allow a faster pre analyze of an area that the reveal skill won't allow from that far.

Yes the raven doesn't allow mark a target, but you can see enemies, now its the reveal skill that allows mark enemies and for a time, and I agree that it's probably a better design choice, that is if the reveal command wasn't so annoying to bind on key of another command, it tends break the other command (climb/sprint/use/more).

I would say that marking enemies one by one with the eagle was a bit tedious, ok but not much fun.

EDIT:
For Odin vision I didn't noticed if there's any upgrade as for the raven.

EDIT:
Another point for the raven usage, it replaces a local map, in Odyssey the global map has probably more information. And one use case is the village to get an overview of buildings, possible and already build, and where are each.
