Summary
The Feathers category is one of the four main categories of the Itempedia, the other categories being Harvestables, Monster Drops, and Fishes.
Weapon's Preferences
In order for the player to obtain feathers, they must find a bird to kill with any kind of weapon, although it is suggested that the players equip any sort of rifle/ranged weapon for accuracy and a better chance to kill the bird in time. Since most birds are often found in the skies, this would put melee users at a disadvantage as they are restricted to the ground unless they have wings to prove that it is possible otherwise. Magic weapons are in the middle ground, as they are capable of attacking creatures from a distance, but their accuracy, cooldown, and limited range can make it difficult for players to kill the desired bird in time.
Vendors
In order to obtain feathers, the players are recommended to obtain rifle/ranged weapons or magic weapons. If the player is looking for cheaper rifle/ranged weapons, they should find Hunter Jack in Topple Town. Hunter Jack is a vendor that sells cheap ranged weapons, which players may want to purchase depending on what they're looking for. If the player is looking for better-ranged equipment, they can head to Gunner Gary's shop in Topple Town. From there, the players are greeted with a variety of ranged weapons, as well as a ranged armor set if the players wish to purchase it from him. If the player is trying to obtain a ranged weapon without the requirements of spending gold, they can proceed to head to Hoodlum Falls and enter the building where Arnold Slime can be found at. From there, they are tasked with a number of objectives before obtaining the Pipe Rifle as a reward, which is part of the Arnold Slime Quest.
If the player is looking for cheaper magic weapons, they can head to the large area known as the Gnome Magic School at Topple Town. From there, they should find the vendor known as the Gnome Wizard Master. The players can purchase either the Firesoul Spellbook or the Darktoad Spellbook, depending on their preferences and/or amount of gold they have. If the player is looking for enhanced magic weapons, they can head to The Town of Right and Wrong and find the Otherworldly Weaponsmith, who sells a variety of weapons that are capable of unleashing destructive abilities upon the player's targets. Despite this, it is suggested that the players should get the Celestial Power Spellbook over the Greater Storms Spellbook as it has a longer range.
Common Knowledge of Bird-Hunting
Once the player obtains a rifle/ranged weapon or a magic weapon, they can head to any areas in the Frontier. Players will explore the vast areas of the Frontier in order to find a variety of birds that can be found in certain locations, but can also appear elsewhere. If the player is using a rifle/ranged weapon, it is suggested that they should use the ability to aim and scope creatures with ammunition in order to increase their chances of hunting down birds. If the player is using a magic weapon, it is recommended that they should try their best to aim at the bird's current position, as well as aiming at the flight paths that the bird is about to fly towards to.
Introduction of Bird Eggs
Since the arrival of the Spring Update, the Featherpedia also includes bird eggs, despite not being feathers themselves. It is assumed that the Featherpedia can be seen as a "Birdpedia" as all of these collectibles categorized under the Feathers section of the Itempedia come from birds, naturally.
