This guide details how to upgrade weapons in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Enhancing your diverse arsenal is crucial for overcoming challenging adversaries throughout your journey.
Weapon Upgrades with Red Feathers in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
Weapon upgrades are performed through the Shrine`s Impetus Repository menu, which functions as a skill tree. These upgrades require items known as Red Feathers, available in four distinct types, each allowing progression up to a specific level:
- Faint Red Feather: Upgrades weapons up to +3.
- Brilliant Red Feather: Upgrades weapons up to +6.
- Radiant Red Feather: Upgrades weapons up to +9.
- Lustrous Red Feather and Vermilion Ancient Chisel: Required for the maximum upgrade level of +10.

Sources for Red Feathers
Red Feathers, essential for weapon upgrades in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, can be found from several sources:
- Environmental Loot: Look for glowing items in the game world, as these often contain Red Feathers. Collect all visible loot during exploration.
- Enemy Drops: Specific enemies, such as Blight Pots and Carrion Corpses, may drop Red Feathers. Elite variants, often identified by a purple glow or smoke, are also potential sources.
- Vendor Purchases: Friendly NPCs like Wu Gang and the Giant Panda offer Red Feathers for sale.
Applying Red Feathers for Weapon Upgrades via the Skill Tree
A unique aspect of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers` weapon upgrade system is that you enhance entire weapon categories rather than individual items. For instance, increasing your Axe Mastery to a +8 level means all axes you equip will automatically benefit from that +8 bonus. This applies to all weapon types: axes, longswords, one-handed swords, dual blades, and spears.

To perform upgrades using the Shrine`s Impetus Repository screen, follow these steps:
- Identify eight-pointed skill nodes associated with a specific weapon type; these nodes enable gear upgrades.
- Use Red Mercury to unlock connected perks.
- Activate the upgrade using your Red Feathers.
- Observe that some nodes feature small pips, indicating they can be upgraded through multiple levels.
- Skill points can be freely reset, which also refunds any Red Feathers spent, allowing for flexible allocation to different weapon types.
