Rocket Boots

The Rocket Boots are an accessory that allows a player to fly for a period of about 1.6 seconds (100 game frames), when equipped in an accessory slot. They are a rare drop (1 in 400) from any Goblin in the Goblin Army.

Flight time is reset immediately when the player lands on any solid object, or latches onto a surface with the Grappling Hook or Ivy Whip (even if you do not let it reel you all the way to the target).

Usage
The Boots are activated by double-jumping, or by jumping during a freefall. Press and hold the jump key while in midair. If the Cloud in a Bottle is also equipped, its double-jump effect will engage first; Pressing and holding the jump key afterward while still in midair will then activate the Rocket Boots.

Tips

 * Care should be used in keeping track of the height from which the player will fall after Rocket Boot use. It is easy to gain enough height that the fall will kill you from Fall Damage, especially with other jump boosting accessories equipped. Some rocket time can be reserved to slow the player down just before hitting the ground, the Featherfall Potion can be used, the Lucky Horseshoe can be equipped, or the Grappling Hook or Ivy Whip can be aimed at the ground to avoid this damage.

History

 * 1.0.5: The Rocket Boots no longer use Mana and have a fixed use time instead. Wearing a full Shadow Armor (without vanity items) makes them emit purple sparks.
