I'm actually really impressed to see a Albino Rhoa Feather post that ISN'T talking about fishing, or at least isn't focused on it.

Why? Clearly an albino rhoa feather post that isn't about fishing is simply misleading.

Incidentally, I recently recieved the following PM:

hello
im new to this game. I have read your comment in the forum about bow fishing . recently i found a rare albino white feather. Can you tell me the right spot to fish with bow in act 1,2,3 so i can catch fish until i find the fishing rod.

Glad to see people are still ignoring the haters and following their hearts.

PMs are meant to be private. if you disclose a PM in the public forum, be sure to have the permission of the sender to do so.
otherwise, don't.
the very least you could do, was delete the sender's name first.
instead you chose to do a "name, point finger and laugh", which is to me far worse than "name and shame".

Get a life. He was asking for fishing advice and he got it. He wasn't asking for personal advice on how to deal with testicular cancer or anything. And who's pointing fingers and laughing? I'm just trying to help the guy catch some fish.

I suspect that the Rhoa feathers are used for the "Secret Kiwi Level" ;P

Cow Level strikes back ?

Use the feathers on the truck near the S.S. Anne.

It's the Black Rock Ledger all over again.

Myself and FyCk spent a good six weeks trying to uncover the secret of those Ledgers.
We looked high and low in Act II with all sorts of wild theories we thought could have
worked. It wasn't all in vain though, a decent Witching Hour actually dropped for me
which upgraded my character's DPS by 16k.

Strangely enough, it seemed to signal the end of our treasure hunt together.
We mutually felt as though the search was over, all avenues exhausted.
I quit the game three days later.

True Story :)

Hell Ive yet to find a feather, let alone consider theres a recipe for the damn things. As told by chris.

SOMEONE FIGURE IT OUT :<

I can't believe there is a recipe for rhoa fearthers.. the announcement made me curious now.

This tbh sounds like a serious troll lol, never even heard of these til now. i'm curious though people are mentioning finding them in sc, what about hc?

Well Chris basically said that the feathers had a use, he did not specify that they were used in a recipe however. He might be trolling us to keep us away from the true usage xD

Chris' exact words:

On an unrelated note, I observed recently that there was a vendor recipe added to Path of Exile 18 months ago that isn't common knowledge. I only know of one player who knows this recipe. We like vendor recipes, Unique items and uses for Albino Rhoa Feathers to be secret, because then the people who find them can choose whether to share the information or keep it to themselves.

All we know is a recipe was added 18 months ago and 1 person found it out.
All he states is that the Feather has a usage, he does not state it's a vendor recipe.

I myself have a hunch it has something to do with maps.
Why?
The Map Device has multiple slots. If you developed a game why would you do this if not to add multiple items in the slots

People asked Chris about it before and he responded that "People haven't found it out yet". Once again he might be just trolling us; but then again: POE is very specific with those kind of things. He also stated in a video that he was just trolling folks, but that just might be something to throw us off game.

You'll find Chris' answer to the question in this video, after 7.30... :-D

To further my suspicions look here: http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Map
Level 66 to 69 maps have a unique version. I'm pretty certain that the other level maps will also have one. Atleast if I was designing a game, I would do that and remain consistent. I would make it considerably harder to obtain the higher level unique maps however (Perhaps by a recipe?)

It might also be used for linking maps in the future.

Chris has hinted at a future feature of combining maps in some way...

This is pure speculation of course until we find out for certain.
