Collect Feathers for Pavé

During Festivale, Pavé will ask you to collect multi-colored Feathers floating all over the island.

Use your net to catch them when you spot one!

Trade with Him with 3 Same-Colored Feathers

Give Pavé 3 same-colored Feathers and he'll reward you with a random Festivale-themed furniture item.

If you're looking to collect the entire furniture series in a specific color, make sure that Feathers you give him match the furniture variant you want!

Trade Feathers with Villagers

If you're having trouble looking for certain colored feathers, trade with your villagers! Villagers will want feathers of the same color of their outfits. This means that villagers wearing purple Festivale costumes will want purple feathers.

To change the color a villager will trade, wait a few minutes and ask again. It seems villagers are more likely to offer you feathers that match your Festivale outfit, so we recommend changing it to the color you want before asking to trade!

Swap Stacks of Feathers with Villagers

You can trade stacks of up to 3 feathers with your villagers! If you want to trade just 1 or 2 feathers, you'll have to take them out of the stack in your Pockets.
