Mastering Weapon Upgrades in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

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.
Examples of finding Red Feathers in the environment, from enemies, and at vendors.
Red Feathers can be acquired from the environment, certain enemies, and some vendors.

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.
