Where are the Feathers?

[DjAce3c]

I’ve been all over the map and I can not find any feathers. What happened to them? I tried shooting the bird and waiting around looking out into the back yard, but I get nothing

Ah....yes! Crow feathers! Or the lack there of. Once upon a time they were abundant, raining down upon us in glorious, black velvet rain. Alas, we took them for granted. And now, since the last update, they have become the rarest and most elusive of treasures. Oh....they still exist. I've watched. And waited. Ran wherever the crow landed, only to be disappointed, again and again.  Then, after two weeks of game play.....finally!  Found one! Nearly passed it by on the trail because I had all but given up ever finding one. 

You will find them, rarely, at the birdbath. up in the branches, down in the pool or along the ground into the hedge. They also appear along the trail leading to the mint box or the other trail just left of the strange machine. Unless the wind is blowing northward, then may land on the wooded post across from the laser. Haven't found them anywhere else.... though it is rumored that the crow may leave feathers under the picnic table or near it. 

From what I have heard, the crow only drops a feather 25% of the time now. One in four or five landings. They may also have reduce the time it's on the ground as well, but I'm not completely sure about that. Though I have seen a feather fall only to disappear before reaching the ground or touching down on a branch. Just melted away. Sure hope they fix this glitch. Especially since I'm running out of feathered arrows. (I usually loose at least two/three after every combat). And the thorn arrows are just too weak. 

The new update may solve some of the problem by increasing the number of feather bits you harvest from one crow feather.  But that won't help very much if that pesky bird doesn't start doing his job and drop more than one feather  a week or letting it melt away before a player can harvest it.

Hope this information helps. I'm sure Obsidian is mindful of all the glitches and will resolve them eventually.  Good luck. And....Have fun.

Seriously, I laughed out loud when I saw the new Crow Feather Roof pieces coming in the next update... It would only take a couple of years to gather enough for one roof piece! (Jokes aside, I assume that this means they will be tweaking the spawn rates of the feathers in the next update). 

[LadyBugWins]

Oh....I sincerely hope so, SnickerSnack. Otherwise, we will be praying for black rain and performing the sacred crow dance just to make a single rooftop.

I've been noticing the same thing. I blew through a whole chest I had stacked up building my new garden house. Thinking I could just go out and get more... but that was a mistake. I've been playing in the PTS and now live since this update came out and have found 4 feathers

I have had most luck by the bird bath. Last two I collected gave me 6 each.   Not sure if this number is random or if it is set at 6.

After the shroom and doom update I also cannot find any bird feathers and fireflies seem to be non existent too.

[SnickerSnack]

I couldn't find any BEFORE the shroom and doom update 

[Braden Powell]

You couldn't find feathers or fireflies? I never had a problem finding feathers before and I would always find the fireflies around the sprinkler close to the picnic table and bee hive but now there is nothing.

[SnickerSnack]

Found fireflies last night in the hedge. Also found two crow feathers, one near the mysterious machine and the other further out in the grass field.
