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 at fixed heights.

Equipping Wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. With accessories like Cloud in a Bottle and variants equipped the player will have to use their double-jump before being able to fly. Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots, Spectre Boots, etc. 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.

There are currently 42 Wing types in total: 39 available on the, 21 on the. Flight time and speed can 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, with 20 Souls of Flight and one or two ingredients representing their type; many of these "wing key" ingredients are special drops which can only be used to craft wings. The four Lunar wings (Solar Wings, Vortex Booster, Nebula Mantle, and Stardust Wings) are instead crafted at the Ancient Manipulator from Lunar Fragments and Luminite Bars. Wings that are not craftable can be obtained from various sources: Purchased from NPCs (one is an Angler reward), dropped by particular enemies, or developer wings found in Expert mode Treasure Bags.

All developer wings have a 5% (1:20) chance to drop from Expert mode Treasure Bags, but only from Hardmode bosses.


 * All Wings can be sold for, except for the Fishron Wings, Nebula Mantle, Vortex Booster, Stardust Wings, and Solar Wings (all ), the Betsy's Wings , the Fin Wings , and the Leaf Wings and Steampunk Wings (both ).

Tips

 * Flight time can be reset in midair by using a Hook to hit a block then release immediately after, and continue to hold the Key. Or an Ice Rod can be used to lay blocks of ice to land in midair, making it possible to remain in the air 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, Solar Wings, Frostspark Boots, Flying Carpet, and Featherfall Potion, the player can attain a total maximum of ~1400 tiles of flight distance. More can be achieved by using the Umbrella.
 * Some Wings are particularly easy to acquire early on in Hardmode:
 * Leaf Wings require nothing more than putting the Witch Doctor in a Jungle biome and paying at night.
 * Harpy Wings require a bit of luck when farming Harpies. Fortunately, Wyverns spawn at the same altitude, so when a Giant Harpy Feather drops, the odds are good that 20 Souls of Flight will already have been collected. The Giant Harpy Feather can also be collected before activating Hardmode.
 * Angel and Demon Wings require 25 of either Souls of Light or Souls of Night. The Souls can easily be acquired by staying long enough in Underground Hallow or Underground Corruption/Underground Crimson, since all enemies killed have a chance to drop the respective biome's Soul.
 * Frozen Wings require a Blizzard and a Snow biome in which to farm Ice Golems. Souls of Flight still must be collected.
 * Fairy Wings require farming the surface Hallow for Pixie Dust. It takes a lot of farming to get the 100 units needed, but the enemies are relatively easy to deal with in early Hardmode.

Trivia

 * Prior to 1.3.0.1, Red's Wings would allow the wearer to fly infinitely and faster than any other Wings, if the player managed to obtain it through inventory editors.
 * There are 4 Wings that are bought from NPCs, but only 3 in any version: The Steampunk Wings, Sparkly Wings , Jetpack, and Leaf Wings.
 * Skiphs's Paws resemble the wings of Lugia, a character from.
