Talk:Wings

Is it just me, or are the Spectre Boots better than wings? I never let myself fall to death anyway, the glide and extra flight height are nice, but nowhere near as good as the speed boost from boots.

The Spectre Boots can be combined with the wings, and any other combination of items like Cloud in a Ballon. You'll even get the cloud jump. Separately, though, I haven't tested. I'll have to see. -anonymous

Separate pages?
Do the new wing types really differ from the first two wings that they need separate pages? They seem to just be re-skins, in which case I don't think that we could have them as separate pages without copy/pasting 90% of the text between articles. I'd say merge them all in. -Frostnine (talk) 10:05, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Are any of the Wings PC Only or Console Only? If so, it could be worth noting which are PC/Console only or have separate pages for PC and Console Wings. 24.131.174.8 13:13, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Boot, Cloud balloon, and Wings combo debuffed?
Is it just me or does the Spec. Boots, Cloud balloon, and wing combo get nerfed since the 1.2 update? I feel as though there's less wing flaps and lower height in comparison to the previous version. Can someone confirm?

Developer's wings?
The technical section alludes to "Developer's Wings." What are they and why don't they have a page? --Theothersteve7 (talk) 02:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Developer wings are D-Town's Wings, Will's Wings, Crowno's Wings and Cenx's Wings. (And Red's Wings too.) Just like Red's Wings those are unobtainable. --0icke0 (talk) 10:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

I just did some research as to what exactly each flight time percentage corresponds to in actual flight height using a depth meter at 0 (Level). I edited the results into the page. But unfortunately was not fast enough as the dev's decided to make all dev gear debuff and kill the wearer. If anyone has more info that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Wing duration - incorrect information
only red's wings provide unlimited flight time, all other dev wings have a limited duration like normal wings. i don't have super technical skills so i can't give the percentages like with other wings, so someone else will need to figure that out. if you don't know how to equip the dev gear without dying, google is your friend.

Sparkly Wings?
I have seen several instances on this wiki (Wings page, Sparkly Wings page) which mention this type of Wings. Youtube, ever the resourceful bounty of information, has ZERO videos demonstrating this pair of Wings. Even stranger, the Dryad page makes no mention of selling a console-exclusive Sparkly Wings, nor does the Souls of Blight page mention Sparkly Wings being a craftable recipe. I smell trolls at work, but would like OFFICIAL confirmation one way or the other.

PS: Obvious misspellings such as "souls of bright" only make your claim more suspect, so don't even bother replying. 173.228.18.99 21:48, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Listen, I have the ps3 version and I can see the sparkly wings in the crafting grid next to angel and demon ones. They are crafted with 30 souls of Blight, 25 souls of flight, and 10 feathers. They are NOT brought from the dryad. The reason there are no vids is because no one had probably noticed or are too lazy to upload. 82.3.2.15 21:41, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

New Section for Dev Wings/Unobtainable
I moved the dev wings and the steampunk wings out of the upper context of the article so that the focus stays on the flight items acquirable through normal gameplay. Dev wings and Steampunk wings now have their own devoted section at the bottom, with the original data preserved so that it can still be referenced by players with "enhanced" game experiences.

Festive wings
I did some testing with wings to determine how fast the air speed of the festive wings is compared to other wings by just running off a high place (same starting position) and marking where lightning boot particles begin. After testing for a while, it seems like they are just as fast as the pumpkin moon/flame tier wings (123,750% on the page). Other wing speeds also ranked the right way, so I feel that this is enough proof for their speed.

 * Are you saying the page is correct? Or that something needs to be changed...? Note their speed is already shown as being the same as flame/tattered/spooky wings, but they're ranked differently because of the significantly different range and duration.  Equazcion ( talk ) 22:18, 28 Mar 2014 (UTC)
 * Nevermind -- I see you put the speed in whereas before it was missing. Thanks -  Equazcion ( talk ) 02:32, 29 Mar 2014 (UTC)

where do the new wings fit in for this table?

Fishron Wings
From this test I did (http://i.imgur.com/9ke9rhl.jpg), it seems that Fishron Wings have a longer flight time than Spooky Wings. Can someone confirm this please? Sodapone (talk) 03:29, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The flight time itself is approximately the same: tested a few times with a stopwatch. However, the distance traveled is far longer than the other wings in Tier 7 due to the Fishron Wings being much faster; the table is misleading as it is now, in my opinion the Fishron Wings deserved their own tier because they are undeniably superior. I understand the tiers are ordered due to flight time, so I'm gonna go ahead and split the third column for the tier 7 so the real vertical distance traveled is immediately evident to the common player visiting this page. --186.136.111.144 18:17, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The table is set up right now according to the range in the game code, and Fishron Wings show a 180 range in the code, like the Spooky and Tattered do. Splitting the "height" off is a good solution, in fact the height column should probably be called "actual range" and the "duration" called "base range". The other wings can have that field split as well, to show actual calculated distance the same way.  Equazcion ( talk ) 18:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, I understand now. I'm not as tech savvy to be looking at the game's code though, so all my data comes from in-game testing. Speaking of which, I've since tried a few other wings and it appears the Fishron ones are a unique exception: all other wings I've tested reached the height listed for their tier. --186.136.111.144 19:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you tested Leaf Wings vs. Ice/Flame/Ghost? Assuming the current speed values are accurate, there should be a significant difference in effective range between those. They have the same duration and if the Leaf Wings are significantly slower as the table says, it wouldn't make much sense if they had the same actual range, and something must be off here.
