Wings

Wings are Hardmode Accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the jump key. They also provide immunity from fall damage, rendering the Lucky Horseshoe etc. unnecessary. There are currently 19 types of obtainable Wings, 1 of which can only be obtained in the console version. An additional 6 Wings are unobtainable. Flight time and speed vary by type.

Equipping Wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Flight time is reset when the player stands on blocks, or grabs a block with Grappling Hooks or the Climbing Claws.

Wings also allow the player to glide down rather than fall, by continuing to hold the jump key after flight time has been exhausted. Gliding fall speed can be accelerated by holding the down key in addition. The player is always immune to fall damage when Wings are equipped, whether or not the player has glided down.

Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots or Spectre Boots alone, and allow for much greater flight range.

Types

 * All craftable Wings are crafted at the Mythril Anvil.
 * All can be sold for, except for the Leaf Wings, which sell for , and the Beetle Wings, which sell for . Developer-only Wings (classes 8 and 9) have unknown sell prices.
 * "Unobtainable" Wings are only available through inventory editing software or other hacks. Most of them (classes 8 and 9) are intended only for use by members of Terraria's development staff, and will kill other players who attempt to use them. Steampunk Wings are the only unobtainable Wings with no penalty for use, and which are not currently assigned to a Terraria staff member, though still require external software or hacking for use.

Stacked accessories
Some jump-boosting Accessories stack with Wings to increase flight range.

Tips

 * An Ice Rod can be used to lay blocks of ice to land in mid air, allowing you to stay in the air almost indefinitely, provided you have enough mana.
 * Using Feather Fall Potion can also increase the duration of flight greatly, as the slow fall effect of the potion stacks with the wings, allowing very long glide.
 * Similarly, holding an Umbrella will stack its slow fall effect with the wings.
 * Use of Climbing Claws or any form of hook in conjunction with the wings can allow a flight-time reset when the wearer attaches to a block.
 * The Cloud in a Balloon or any accessory with a double jump ability has a unique effect on Wings: They make your first flight very short (roughly half a second), requiring a double-jump for any real flight time. However, once you have double-jumped, flight is significantly faster than usual, and a smoke effect is added (not illuminated), similar to using the Spectre Boots alone (the smoke effect does not appear if both the Cloud in a Balloon and the Spectre Boots are equipped). The double-jump also causes the usual Cloud effect.
 * Equipping the Cloud in a Balloon but not using it, in conjunction with the Hoverboard, will allow you to hover (but not fly) forever.

Trivia

 * All of the wing types (except Jetpack) make the same sound when flapping. Hoverboard and Beetle Wings are silent.
