Companions
Companions are pets or followers that will accompany your character when non-RvR flagged.
In Return of Reckoning, companions are earned primarily via PvE, either by acquiring Companion Coins from the Dungeon Weekly, or via Champion's Marks for speed running Dungeons.
Gaining a Companion
To earn a Companion, you'll first need to acquire Companion Coins and trade them to a merchant in your Capital City for a Quest item.
- In Altdorf, the Companion Merchant is the Amber Wizard located in Southeast Altdorf at 33k/47.5k
- In The Inevitable City, the Companion Merchant is the Seductive Tamer located in Southwest I.C. at 24.8k/50k
Next, open your Quest Items tab and right click the quest item to begin a short quest chain that will lead to you finding and gaining a new companion.

Trivia
- Boris the Cat is named after the cat of Max Hayman, great overlord of Return of Reckoning and the person we blame for keeping this game alive. The real Boris meows often during dev calls.
- In Altdorf's Feline Frustration quest, the NPC, Wealthy Merchant Webster, is a nod to Noah Webster, of the Webster Dictionary, who was also somewhat famed for absolutely hating cats. What a monster.
- Anann the Fleshgorger cow is named after Anann or Anu, the Irish Goddess of War and Cattle.
