The Truth about Albino Rhoa Feathers

On chat way back I saw a discussion about this. Apparently a rare mob spawns in The Ship Graveyard, the leader's name is Marcelleus Wallace. Apparently if you have the Rhoa feather in your inventory at the time, he robs you of the feather, mutters something about getting his soul back, runs away but drops something as he leaves. Not sure what though Scoob!

thats a new theory i heared there total. you make it more interesting now :D.

there is also the possibility that its a scrapped or unfinished part of the game and means nothing and the feathers are useless.

Albino give you +1% quantity drop. Basic quantity is 16%. Mods like +100% iiq: its 16*(1+1.00)=32%. 10 Albino on inventory give (16%+10%)*(1+iiq). Its cap. 20 Albino dont give you +20%.

Since there was no change to my IIQ stat on the "misc" tab of the character information, I'm gonna call this either false, or unverifiable. Either way, it's not going in my OP d:- D

P.S. Righteous screen name.

This is my current working theory--or at least a variant of it.
I actually suspect that the Rhoa Feathers could just be a diamond supporter piece of content to troll people. I have no proof for this, and got the idea from this Penny Arcade article about the Interview they had with some GGG guys at GDC 2013. The quote in question is a reference to an article from some site called venturebeat.

Here's the quote that caught my attention:

"

“We’re getting requests like, ‘I will pay you to put a wolf in a certain area,’” said Rogers. “Though we were hoping people would be asking for something cooler.”

I guess I just like the idea that some troll paid $1000 to rofl. for this theory though, I have my doubts that GGG would have accepted the submission of something like this from an ethical standpoint, considering that it could make their players farm items and waste their time for no reason. On the other hand, maybe GGG enjoys a good troll themselves and decided to let it ride.

That solution is so elegant that it did not occur to me. Aside from that, I'm under the impression that the devs aren't talking on this one. I would try to do the heel click summoning ritual to query a savvy GGG employee, but I would probably just mess it up.

Albino feather lets your toon sit and fish in act 3 :)

I've never gotten an albino feather. Are you sure that isn't a troll?
