Guide to feather farming

Overview
Feathers are a high-demand common material because they are used to craft Essences of Celerity. They are easy to farm and easily sold to other players. There are two areas ideal for farming, North Kryta Province (Prophecies) and Jaya Bluffs (Factions).

North Kryta Province



 * Start: Lion's Arch or D'Alessio Seaboard
 * Target: (All Lvl 12 & 13)Caromi Tengu Brave, Caromi Tengu Scout, Caromi Tengu Wild
 * Quest notes: There are fewer Tengu if the War in Kryta is active. (Drop any active Shining Blade Bounties and/or complete WiK to return spawns to normal.)

Threats & tactics

 * Threats: Caromi Wild can interrupt key skills.


 * Tactics: In normal mode, you should be able to ignore any non-Caromi foes as they are generally too weak to hinder you.

Jaya Bluffs

Quick route (red); Expanded route (yellow)]]


 * Start: Seitung Harbor
 * Target: (all Lvl12) Sensali Cutter & Sensali Cutter;  Sensali DarkFeather;  Sensali Claw;
 * Quest notes: Farming is easier if Death With Honor is active.

There are two separate farms Seitung Harbor. The shorter route (red), but the longer route (yellow) offers another 15 Tengu.

Threats & tactics

 * Threats: You might also have to kill some Yeti along the way.


 * Tactics:

W / No
This run takes no more then 10-20 minutes before completely vanquishing the area of Tengu. The run isn't hard and requires little other than many armor enhancement skills and a strong heal, be wary of the Caromi Tengu Wild's (if in North Kryta Province) interruption skills

A / No
Shadow Form can be handy for this, as the enemies (level 15 maximum) do minimal damage. Be wary of using only Critical Defenses, Shroud of Distress or Flashing Blades as a primary defense on Jaya Bluff as the Sensali DarkFeathers cast Rigor Mortis rendering you unable to block for the duration of the curse.

E / No
Can be done with build (earth) similar to old raptor farming build. preferably E/Me for the use of Arcane Echo and Shockwave *elite* duplication. An E/Rt alternative can also be used, with Vengeful was Khanhei, Inferno, and Flame Djinn's Haste.

D / No
A Dervish can successfully farm the Sensali Tengu off Jaya Bluff by combining Mystic Sandstorm with several damage dealing enchantments (most importantly Sand Shards) two healing enchantments (Vital Boon and Mystic Regeneration) and Avatar of Balthazar. Aggro the Tengu when you have set up your heals and Avatar and then as they swarm set up the damage dealers. When all of your enchants are up, set off Mystic Sandstorm which removes them for massive healing/energy gain (via Mysticism) and damage. It is recommended that Mysticism and Earth Prayers are both set as high as they can be taken.

No / Rt
Casting multiple offensive spirit skills is an easy way to take down just under 8 of these foes at a time, use Summon Spirits to heal those spirits when needed. Despite their low energy pool, even Paragons and Warriors can feather farm using this method.
