What is the point of Duck Feathers?

[bubbagamer]

So we're supposed to believe that Duck Feathers are "rare" or "deluxe" drops from a duck, when it actually seems that Duck Eggs are so much better? A Duck Feather has a base price of 125g, up to 250g if it's iridium quality. A Duck Egg, when made into Duck Mayonnaise, has a base price of 375g. The Rancher profession (chosen when you reach level 5 in the Farming skill) increases the price of a Duck Feather or Duck Mayonnaise to 150g (300g for iridium) and 450g, respectively. If you decided not to go down the Rancher profession skill path and instead chose the Tiller profession (Farming level 5) and then the Artisan profession (level 10) (which I personally think is the most effective skill path for Farming) then your Duck Mayonnaises will sell for 525g each, while your Duck Feathers still only sell for 125g (250g for iridium).

Also, Duck Feathers are rarely a good choice as a gift. Although Harvey likes them and Elliott loves them, all the other villagers are neutral towards them (and Penny dislikes them). Duck Mayonaisse is liked by all of the villagers except for five of them. Heck, even a raw Duck Egg is a liked gift for eleven different villagers.

Finally, if you (for some reason) have ducks but no chickens, you can still use Duck Eggs in place of normal Eggs in recipes where they are needed.

In conclusion, all things considered, by and large, all in all, altogether: Duck Feathers, while rarer than Duck Eggs, are less useful in nearly every way.

(If I'm missing something important, let me know.)

I always figured it was just a bonus that helped ducks edge out chickens in profit margins over time. Not sure there is too much to look into apart from that.

My problem is not that Duck Feathers make less money and I want to become Rich™ as soon as possible; my problem is that they are made to seem like "special" or "deluxe" products because they are rare, when in reality they have much less utility than Duck Eggs. It would be like if a weapon in some game was Legendary/Mythical/whatever the highest rarity is in that game, and it was actually a really sucky weapon that is outclassed by Common weapons.

If you want to become rich, don't keep animals. Problem solved.

If you read the first part of his sentence hes NOT trying to get rich.

Your right thou bubba, looking at the rabbit foot as the other example, its a love gift, and sells a ton, the feather should either sell more or be used in a recipe or something for its 'rare' spawn rate.

Did you? I've already answered why duck feathers are there. As has the other person. Variety. Bundle. Grange Display. If you want them to be something more, mod them. Really don't get why this needs to be an issue.

there are some people you can repeat yourself over and over again to and they will never understand.

that being said, I don't think duck mayonnaise has its price increased when you pick rancher profession, I think only artistan profession increases its price though I could be wrong
