InBellwright, you engage with neighboring villages, foster trust, and eventually establish your own settlement managed by companions to handle essential tasks. Starting from a mere sleeping spot, the effort put into constructing a large-scale settlement proves worthwhile, demanding crucial resources like feathers as you progress.
Feathers may not seem necessary early in the game, but as you approach the mid-game phase, accumulating a substantial supply becomes vital for crafting important items. This guide explains two of the easiest methods to get feathers so that you’re able to give your companions necessary items to craft goods for you, and continue growing the settlement.
Where To Find Feathers
Feathers can be easily obtainedby slaughtering the harmlesschickens found in towns. However, in Haerndean, the starting town where you build familiarity automatically,killing chickens will negatively impact your reputation. Each chicken slain results in aten-point reputation penalty, as they are a vital source of eggs for the locals.
Toavoid reputation loss, we suggestmoving to the nearest townwhere you havenot built familiarityyet,such as Padstow. There, you will find plenty of chickens roaming freely. Any melee weapon cankill a chicken in one hit, and unlike deer, they will not flee when pursued.
This makesPadstow an ideal location to easily acquire featherswithout harming your reputation in Haerndean. Ideally, each chicken kill should give you the following items:
Shoot Down Crows
If you prefer a more merciful approach and find slaughtering chickens distasteful, considerhunting crowsinstead.Crows can often be seen flying in open fields, with flocks soaring high above and individual crows closer to ground level, making them viable targets.
Tohunt crows effectively, equipa bow and arrow. While a crow can betaken down with a single shot, hitting themaccurately can be challenging. Practice will improve your aim, and successfully killing a crow will yield the following items:
Try aiming the bow slightly ahead of the crow’s flight path. The arrow travels slowly and is affected by gravity, so it will not land precisely where you aim it.
Feathers are primarily usedin crafting mid-gamegear recipesandcreating higher-quality arrowsthat deal increased damage compared to standard ones.
If you have anabundance of feathers, you cansell them for gold coins, allowing you to purchase items that suit your preferences or immediate needs.
