There are many unwritten rules in Goro’s shop. For a starter, first few times buyer can only buy the basic entry level features such as the plain feather 素羽 or feather with metal (上銀羽毛）, or gold top feather(上金羽毛)，Silver top silver rope turquoise feather (上銀繩松石羽毛)。
After several visits to the shop, one's status can be upgraded to be eligible to purchase the special feature feather such as the feather with craw (銀爪點金羽毛) or gold top feature (先金羽毛).
When the silver feather is left alone for a long time, it will tarnish, and some parts may turn into what they called Rainbow colors.
