How to Use Faint Red Feather

Used in the Impetus Repository to Master Weapons

The Faint Red Feather is used for upgrading Wuchong's weapon mastery over a specific weapon type in the Impetus Repository.

Incremental Increases Per Upgrade

+1 +2 +3
2 Feathers needed 4 Feathers needed 6 Feathers needed
In Total 12 Feathers Needed

Upgrading a Weapon Mastery node will usually incrementally increase per upgrade, and are usually upgraded three times. The next Mastery node will require a higher feather tier as well.

The only exception to requiring 12 feather units is the Lustrous Red Feather, which is the final tier available. The final mastery node only requires 1 Lustrous Red Feather to be fully upgraded.

Reallocate Feathers To Unlock More Paths

Reallocate Feathers as Needed in the Impetus Repository
Paths can be unlocked in the Impetus Repository by shifting an upgrade from a Weapon Mastery Node to another of the same type, and it will be as if it was the same node.

The requirements will shift dynamically to what you've already spent, so you can strategically use your feathers to unlock powerful skills or abilities to aid Wuchang's journey. It will not affect the tier you are at as long as you've spent a certain amount of feathers on a Weapon Mastery Node.
