| Price | 600 |
Faint Red Feather can be purchased from Wu Gang for 600 Red Mercury.
Though it can be purchased, it will not appear until the next tier of Red Feathers start appearing.
The Faint Red Feather is used for upgrading Wuchong's weapon mastery over a specific weapon type in the Impetus Repository.
| +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.

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.
