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 Stoned), rendering the Lucky Horseshoe 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.

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 types of Wings, one of which is exclusive to the console and mobile versions. Flight time and speed vary by type.

Types
Most craftable Wings are crafted at the Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil. The Solar Wings, Vortex Boosters, Nebula Mantle, and Stardust Wings are the only craftable wings not made at a hardmode anvil. These wings are instead made at an Ancient Manipulator


 * All Wings can be sold for, except for the Fin Wings , and Leaf 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 the Bundle of Balloons, Frog Leg, Fishron Wings, Frostspark Boots, Flying Carpet, and Featherfall Potion, the player can attain a total maximum of ~1400 blocks of flight distance.

Trivia

 * All of the wing types (except the Jetpack) make the same sound when flapping. The Hoverboard, Beetle Wings, and Vortex Booster are silent.
 * Before 1.3 released, the Fishron Wings had the greatest flight height of any legitimately obtainable wings, and were better than all developer Wings except for Red's Wings. This was because Red's Wings had infinite flight time, though this is no longer the case. However, three mounts (Shrimpy Truffle, Cosmic Car Key and Drill Containment Unit) all grant infinite flight time. All three are legitimately obtainable.
 * You need 300 (320 on Console) Souls of Flight to obtain all craftable Wings, and  (  on Console) to buy the purchased Wings.
