Wings and where to find them [UPDATED TO 1.4.1.2]

This guide will tell you all about all the wings currently obtainable in the PC version of the game (46 at the moment). It will tell you the differences and how to craft or obtain the wings.

Wings introduction

After not having it updated for a while, here is the new and improved guide to Terraria wings and where to find them!

This guide focuses on the PC version of Terraria.

Wings are accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily and negate fall damage. They are only obtainable in Hardmode, with the exception of the Fledgling Wings.

Your world goes into Hardmode after defeating the Wall of Flesh for the first time.

There are some accessories that do not have the word 'wings' in their name, such as the Jetpack, Hoverboard, Skiph's Paws etc. These accessories act the same as wings, and will also be referred to as such.

As of the current version, 1.4.1.2, the total amount of wings obtainable in-game on PC is 46

Wings sorted by fly height

All wings have the ability to fly, some higher than others. The table below shows how high each pair of wings can fly straight upwards, counted in tiles.

Wings by game progression

Quick explanation of all terms:

Character difficulty:

• Journey Mode, this is basically the sandmode of Terraria
  
• Classic Mode, the standard difficulty. Drop money upon death
  
• Mediumcore Mode, drop all items upon death
  
• Hardcore Mode, drop all items upon death and death is permanent

World difficulty:

• Journey Mode, can only be accessed by Journey Mode characters
  
• Classic Mode, the standard difficulty
  
• Expert Mode, has harder enemies. Bosses drop Treasure Bags
  
• Master Mode, even harder than Expert mode and with more exclusive drops

World states:

• Pre-Hardmode, the mode every world starts in by default
  
• Hardmode, your world will convert (permanently) into Hardmode after defeating the boss Wall of Flesh. A new biome, The Hallow, will spawn and spread along with Corruption/Crimson. New enemies will spawn, and new bosses and drops are available.
  
• Post-Plantera, after defeating the boss Plantera new and more difficult enemies will spawn in the Dungeon. New events and new bosses are available

For the needed materials and how to find them I redirect you to a different part of this guide, namely 'Craftable wings [Part 1-3]' and 'Wings obtained otherwise'. This section is just an explanation which wings you can get at different points in the game progression. I will list which wings are similair but for a complete list of similarities and differences between wings I have to refer you to the Terraria Wiki[terraria.gamepedia.com].

Wings obtained from Treasure Bags and the Celestial Starboard are only available in Expert or Master Mode and will not be mentioned below.

Fishron Wings*
These are some of the best wings in the game. The only wings that can fly higher are the Solar and Stardust Wings, and the Celestial Starboard. These are also the only wings that can fly under water

*Even though the Fishron Wings can be obtained at this point, the boss that drops them, Duke Fishron, is very challenging. It is recommended to get post-Golem gear before fighting him

Craftable wings - Required materials

To get the necessary materials for the wings, your world must be in Hardmode. Otherwise some monsters that drop certain materials won't spawn, while other monsters won't drop them yet.

This guide will go on under the impression that Hardmode has been activated.

All craftable wings, with the exception of 4, need a certain amount of Soul of Flight
These are dropped by the Wyvern mini-boss, found in the highest levels of the map (Space).


Depending on world size, it spawns at and above:
300 (small world) / 500 (medium world) 1000 (large world) feet above ground.
It can spawn indefinitley, as long as your character is at or above this height
After defeat it drops 5 to 10 Souls.

All wings, with the exception of 4, can be crafted at a Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil.


The Nebula Mantle, Vortex Booster, Solar Wings and Stardust Wings do not require Souls of Flight. They are also not crafted at a Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil, but rather at the Ancient Manipulator.

**Ectoplasm drops from Dungeon Spirit.
Dungeon Spirits have a chance to spawn after defeating an enemy with more than 100 HP in the Dungeon

Craftable wings [Part 3]

The following 4 wings do not use Soul of Flight
These wings are crafted by materials that drop from the Celestial Pillars and the Moon Lord.

After Golem has been defeated, the Lunatic Cultist boss spawns at the Dungeon entrance. Attacking him and subsequently defeating him, the Lunar Events are started. During these events, 4 Pillars spawn in the world. To defeat a Pillar, you first have to defeat 100 enemies that spawn around the Pillar. Each Pillar drops 12-60 of their respective Fragments, which is needed for the wings.

After defeating all 4 Pillars, the Moon Lord spawns. Defeating him gives you 70-90 Luminite ore with which you can craft Luminite Bars, which are also needed for the wings.

	Wings		Material	Amount		Dropped by
	Nebula Mantle		Luminite Bar	10		Made from 4 Luminite, which is dropped from the Moon Lord
			Nebula Fragment	14		Nebula Pillar
	Vortex Booster		Luminite Bar	10		Made from 4 Luminite, which is dropped from the Moon Lord
