Crowfall: Get new bodies – the Vessel system

In the MMORPG Crowfall , you are not bound to a single body. You can steal or find new bodies through the Vessel system.

In a regular MMORPG, you create a hero, set their appearance and attributes, and improve this hero throughout your adventures through skills. Not so in Crowfall. The hero you create at the beginning is called a “Crow”. This is capable of possessing different bodies, the Vessel.

Search for new bodies

Vessels are rare. But it might happen that during your explorations in the worlds you find new Vessels or you kill another player in a PvP battle and can steal their body. However, you do not immediately slip into this Vessel, but must take it back to your base. There you decide whether to sell the Vessel or use it yourself.

However, you do not have to accept this body, but can break it down to use the parts for crafting. A Vessel can also be customized so that you do not always have a completely different appearance.

Attributes are linked to the Vessel

A Vessel determines the attributes you possess while in this body. The skills, on the other hand, are linked to the Crow and are carried over to a new body every time. Those who want to use a Vessel as crafting materials should have knowledge in necromancy.

Through these Vessel crafting resources, it is also possible to create a completely custom body according to one’s specifications.

This principle is also the origin of the game’s name “Crowfall”. The players are essentially souls searching for bodies in the worlds. In these bodies, they then try to conquer the respective world, improve their skills, and gather resources – until the world is destroyed by hunger. Then they return to the spiritual realm and plan their next campaign on a new world.
