Wings

Wings are Hardmode accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the key. They also provide immunity from fall damage (except when the player is affected by the Stoned debuff), rendering the Lucky Horseshoe, Obsidian Horseshoe, Featherfall Potion, etc. unnecessary. By continuing to hold the key after flight time has been exhausted, the player is able to glide. Gliding fall speed can be accelerated by holding the key in addition. Certain Wings can also allow the player to hover in midair.

Equipping Wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots or Spectre Boots alone, and allow for much greater flight range. Flight time is reset when the player stands on blocks, or grabs a block with Grappling Hooks or the Climbing Claws.

There are currently 37 total types of Wings across all platforms. There are 36 wings available on the, 19 on the , and 21 on the. Flight time and speed vary by type.

Types

 * See Guide:Jump Height Comparison for the flight heights achievable with Wings stacked with other equipment.

Most craftable Wings are crafted at a Mythril Anvil or an Orichalcum Anvil. The Solar Wings, Vortex Booster, Nebula Mantle, and Stardust Wings are crafted at the Ancient Manipulator. Other wings that are not craftable can be obtained by certain NPCs, be dropped by certain enemies, and be contained in Treasure Bags in Expert Mode.

All developer wings (with the exception of Cenx's wings) have a 1:240 chance to drop from Hardmode Treasure Bags (Cenx's wings have a 1:120 drop chance).


 * All Wings can be sold for, except for the Fin Wings , and Leaf Wings.

Achievement
Head in the Clouds is the achievement you earn for equipping your first pair of wings.

Tips

 * An Ice Rod can be used to lay blocks of ice to land in mid air, making it possible to remain in the air almost indefinitely.
 * The slow-fall effect of Featherfall Potion or an Umbrella will stack with Wing glide, allowing for very long glides after flight time has been exhausted.
 * By using the Bundle of Balloons, Frog Leg, Fishron Wings, Frostspark Boots, Flying Carpet, and Featherfall Potion, the player can attain a total maximum of ~1400 tiles of flight distance.
 * The Leaf Wings can actually be obtained very early in hard mode, allowing earlier wings to be skipped over to save time and resources. However, they have a very high reforge cost compared to other wings.
 * The Frozen Wings can be obtained for a little more work than the Leaf Wings while retaining the normal reforging costs shared by most other wings.

Trivia

 * Most Wing types make the same sound when flapping, with some exceptions marked above.
 * Some Mounts also grant flight ability, some with infinite flight time (all Wings provide only temporary flight).
 * You need 300 (320 on Console) Souls of Flight to obtain all craftable Wings, and  (  on Console) to buy the purchased Wings.
