Feathers are a high-demand [[crafting material|common material]], used to craft [[Essence of Celerity|Essences of Celerity]]. They are not difficult to [[farm]]. Two areas are ideal for farming them; [[North Kryta Province]] ([[Guild Wars Prophecies|Prophecies]]) and [[Jaya Bluffs]] ([[Guild Wars Factions|Factions]]). The latter is the least difficult as well as the fastest.

==Feather farm locations==
[[Block]]s and other [[melee attack|melee]] hate such as [[weakness]] are prominent in both areas, making [[spellcaster|spellcasting]] [[build]]s superior for these farms. [[Damage]] output from opponents is not very high as you'll generally be farming in [[normal mode]]. Consider a few defensive [[skill]]s (not enchantments when farming in North Kryta Province, due to Shatter Enchantment), and fill the rest of your skill bar up with damage and [[energy management]] skills. [[Area of effect]] damage can efficiently deal with groups of enemies close together, and/or surrounding the player. A [[speed boost]] skill can reduce the time of the run. Note that Sensali Claws in Jaya Bluffs can cripple you.

===Jaya Bluffs===
[[File:Guide to Feather farming Jaya Bluffs route.png|thumb|240px|Jaya Bluffs feather farm<br>
Quick route (red), Expanded route (yellow)<br>[[:File:Jaya Bluffs feather farm route detailed.png|Detailed route (link)]]]]
*'''Start:''' [[Seitung Harbor]]
*'''Targets:''' {{w}} [[Sensali Cutter]], {{n}} [[Sensali DarkFeather]], and {{a}} [[Sensali Claw]] (all level 12);
*'''Quest notes:''' Farming may be more lucrative if the quest [[Death with Honor]] is active.
The route depicted on the right passes through all 20 groups, when including the yellow path. The red path alone is faster, but has a reduced amount of enemies.

;Threats & tactics
*Be careful around [[Hanjuu Towerfist]]. To get past, a player will brush his aggro range and potentially engage.
*[[Sensali Darkfeather|Darkfeather Sensali]] use [[Enfeebling Touch]], which causes direct health loss and weakness.
*There is a group of [[Sensali]] that sometimes spawns north of [[Miki Lake]] or on the lake.
*In a few places 2 to 3 groups are close to each other, which can overwhelm a player when engaged at the same time.
*The detailed map of this farm (link on the right) lists key points.

===North Kryta Province===
[[File:Guide to Feather farming North Kryta Province route.png|thumb|240px|North Kryta Province feather farm<br>
Start from either [[Lions Arch]] (right portal)<br>or [[D'alessio Seaboard]] (left portal)]]
* '''Start:''' [[Lion's Arch]] or [[D'Alessio Seaboard]]
* '''Target:''' [[Caromi Tengu Brave]], [[Caromi Tengu Scout]], and [[Caromi Tengu Wild]] (all level 12 to 13);
* '''Quest notes:''' There are fewer [[Caromi]] if the [[War in Kryta]] is active. (Drop any active [[Wanted by the Shining Blade|Shining Blade Bounties]] and/or complete WiK to return spawns to normal.)
Start from either [[Lions Arch]] or [[D'alessio Seaboard]] and follow the path north, as seen on the right.

;Threats & tactics
*[[Caromi Tengu Wild|Caromi Tengus Wild]] can interrupt key skills with [[Cry of Frustration]] and remove enchantments with [[Shatter Enchantment]]s.
*Both types of [[Caromi Tengu Brave]] can block.
*Beware of nearby [[Fire Imp]]s, which can [[burning|burn]] you with [[Immolate]].
*In normal mode, the player can ignore any non-Caromi foes as they are generally not strong enough to put the player in danger.
*All Caromi Tengu in this area are weak to lightning damage.

==Notes==
*Feather drops are affected by Hard Mode, on average you'll see 9 feathers drop in normal and 20 or so in Hard Mode.
*Some players prefer to farm in the [[Nahpui Quarter]] mission, but this is not as fast as the two farms listed here.
*When possible, farm during a [[special event|holiday]] that includes special drops, e.g. [[Halloween]] or [[Wintersday]].
