Note: As of 17 Dec 2011, you don’t need Blue Feathers anymore to make the dye kit. Just treat this post as one of the Castleville changes history
Blue feather is the item material used to make dye kit, which is one of the requirement to construct a tailor and also used in many quests and crafting items like flag, large banner, etc.. If you still don’t know or not sure where to get blue feather in Castleville, maybe our quick post guide here can help you. Also checkout our dye kit tips on the bottom of the guide.
There are currently 2 way to get blue feather in castleville, and both are not easy and will really test your patience and luck. Use the first way if you’re in a quick need of 1 blue feather.. and use the second way if you have more time to spare. Anyway, here they are:
Super Chop

When you use super chop to chop down a tree, there is a small chance that you will get red feather and blue feather, not sure why though.. We really not recommend you to craft the super chop from workshop, as you can see below, the requirement are not easy and also a huge time eater.

Instead, we recommend you to buy the super chop from the market in the consumables tab, it costs 20 reputation points, which you can get from doing action in your neighbor’s kingdom.

Adult Peacock

This is the best way to get blue feathers in large quantity. However, to grow adult peacocks from baby peacocks requires about 6 days 32 hours and actively feeding them. You need to feed them 24 16 times and wait 6 2 hours per feed.. yeah, very time consuming.
*NOTES: Zynga just update the peacock feed times to growth per 01 December 2011.
Let’s hope Zynga will make the blue feather easier to get in Castleville.. like we can get it from feed, gift or rewards. UPDATE: Well what do you know, our wishes come true
!!
Ask your neighbors!
Note: Currently this feature is disabled by Zynga.

Yeap, we think recently Zynga just added this feature, and you need to take action about this fast! You can compare this with the old dye kit requirement pictures below. We don’t know whether Zynga will take this feature or leave this permanently. This is your chance to get easy blue feathers
. Let’s hope they will do the same with the goose feathers / down feathers.. hehehe.
Tips About Dye Kit in Castleville

Tips 1: The very first time you will need a blue feather is when you want to build a tailor. To construct a tailor you will need 1 dye kit, and it will produce cotton cloth, plus allow you to make cotton cloth in studio. 5 Cotton clothes are one of the requirement to make Throne Room in Castleville, so you can increase more castle points. 


If you are stuck at this point, and you don’t have any lucks or anymore patience to get the blue feather to make the dye kit, then we suggest you to buy the dye kit requirement for Tailor with crowns, it costs 4 crowns 10 crowns.
Tips 2: Since dye kit will be used as one of the item material requirements in many quests and crafting, we recommend you to have at least 5 peacocks in your kingdom, because you will not always get the blue feather when feeding the peacocks. Here are some quests that use dye as a requirement, so you can be prepared:
-
Yvette Hairy Tale Quest (Lovelorn Quest 4 of 14) – Have 3 Dye Kits so Yvette’s roots aren’t showing
-
Yvette Color Girl Quest (Lovelorn Quest 11 of 14) – Have 2 Dye Kits so Yvette can make everything colorful.
-
Izadora Scandalous Quest (Party Girl: Quest 9 of 10) – Craft 1 Dye Kit to recolor Izzy’s hair.
-
Izadora Model Citizen Quest (The Diva: Quest 5 of 11) – Have 2 Dye Kits to make your tunic look FABULOUS!

Yeah, maybe some people can ask for them from friends. I do not have that option though!

I can tell you why super chop gives feathers… it’s because when you use it, you scare the little birdies out of the tree! They fly off and drop feathers sometimes
Probably true.. Now if only we can scare those baby peacocks to get it, it would be simpler
As of 12/10/11, it costs 10 crowns, not 4, for the dye kit for the tailor. >.<
Ouch.. that’s Zynga for us, don’t know what they will change
. Thanks for the update Michelle.
You no longer need blue feathers for the dye kit, only 10 red ones.
Yes you’re correct, we will update the info about the dye kit.. Thanks
