About feathers

CrazyZleric

so we need feathers from different birds, why just make it feathers? why does it matter from what bird exactly?

I think this is one that could be streamlined where you can get "feathers" from any bird and make arrows

Is it really that hard to find/buy the correct feathers?

CrazyZleric

it is sorta feast and famine. You can run across a hundred owls and no Ravens or a hundred ravens and no falcons.

@crazyzleric As someone who has crafted arrows in the past, this is why anytime you see feathers, you pick them up and collect them for when you end up making arrows. Or just collect the feathers you know you will need, like arrows mostly use falcon feathers, and bolts use raven (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's right) So if I craft arrows and not bolts, why would I collect raven feathers if I'm not going to use them?

CrazyZleric

it just seems to me "why" why can't feathers just be feathers?. it would cut down on some scripts [I think] and stream line part of a product that shouldn't effect the product that much. This why I can kill any bird, get a feather or two and be done with it.

The reason "why" is because it's already in the system this way and it's a low priority to change. I put all the feathers in the shop. I'll even add buying them in bulk, eventually, if that will help with your supply issue.

With your argument though, should we just have one "animal skin" instead of hides of different animals?
Or just one sort of "leaf" or "root" instead of the different types/varieties?

Tl;dr cause it isn’t worth changing dozens of recipes, creatures, etc…

I do bone crafting and I need feathers for one of the helmets. I've rarely had problems collecting feathers. I just grab them whenever I see them on the ground. Not a lot of people pick them up.

Falcon are the easiest ones to find. Owl are pretty easy. Raven a bit less but I do not travel where they spawn that often. But they arent too hard either. And they all sell in the shop anyway.

Added some more ravens to roads, fix confirmed
