Wings are Hardmode accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the ↷ Jump key. Flight time is reset when the player rests on solid objects, including both standing on blocks and using climbing items like Ropes, Hooks, Shoe Spikes, and Climbing Claws. Certain wing types also allow the player to hover at fixed heights by holding the ▼ Down key during flight, and/or accelerate their ascent speed by holding the ▲ Up key.

After flight time has been exhausted, a player can continue holding the ↷ Jump key to glide. Gliding fall speed can be accelerated by holding the ▼ Down key in addition.

Wings additionally grant immunity from fall damage (except when overridden by the Stoned debuff), rendering fall damage protection items like the Lucky Horseshoe unnecessary.

Flight is much more controlled with wings than with Rocket Boots, Spectre Boots, etc. alone, and they allow for much greater flight range. Equipping wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Double-jump accessories like the Cloud in a Bottle will still grant an additional jump, which is used after all flight time.

There are currently 47 unique wing types in total: 46 are available on Desktop, 39 on Console, 36 on Mobile, and 21 on Old-gen console and 3DS. Flight time and speed can vary by the version.

Wings have a variety of origins: Some can be crafted, a few can be purchased outright, one is an Angler reward, a few are dropped directly from bosses, and one is gifted to every new Journey Mode character.

In Expert Mode, more wings can come as part of Treasure Bags: Each Hardmode Treasure Bag has a 5* 1/20 (5%) chance to drop a random set of developer items, and all sets include wings (with the exception of Aaron's set).

Most craftable wings are crafted at a Hardmode Anvil: Each requires 20 Souls of Flight plus a "key" item determining the wing type. This key can be a rare enemy drop with no other use, or a quantity of material representing a new stage of the game.

The four lunar wings (Solar Wings, Vortex Booster, Nebula Mantle, and Stardust Wings) are instead crafted like other endgame equipment: At the Ancient Manipulator from Luminite Bars and Lunar Fragments; they do not require Souls of Flight.

All wings can be sold for 80000* 8, except for the Leaf Wings ( 150000* 15 or 200000* 20) and Steampunk Wings ( 600000* 60 or 200000* 20).

All wings [ edit | edit source ]

The player cannot equip more than one wing at a time.

All wings work in water.

Some jump-boost accessories stack with wings to boost flight (see chart to the right).

When one wing type is placed in a social slot and the other in an accessory slot, the full animation of the vanity wings are shown, along with any lighting and particle effects. Flight speed and other functional characteristics follow those in the accessory slot.

Wings can be hidden when equipped and will be hidden while not in the air, otherwise they are always visible (except when using other equipment that adds graphics to the player's back, like the Leaf Blower or Turtle Scale Mail). They fold into a low-profile image when not used.

The horizontal speed of any midair jumps (such as the Cloud in a Bottle) are greatly decreased when the player wears wings alongside them.

Specific wings [ edit | edit source ]

Even when dyed, the Jetpack's particle effect will give off orange light, though the particles will change color according to the dye. This also applies to the Vortex Booster (which gives off teal light), and probably any wings that give off light (untested).

Fishron Wings work in liquids, just as they do on land (including lava and honey), with the same speed, unlike other wings. This makes them very useful for more aquatic characters.

Ghost Wings and Spectre Wings will only change color with the use of Black Dye, which makes them appear dark gray.

Airtime! • “Enjoy the view.” Stay in the air for enough time.

Dye can make some wings look like other wings. For an example, Mothron Wings with dye look like Butterfly Wings.

Dyeing Red's Wings in combination with Hermes Boots or any of its upgrades will change the color of the smoke below the player.
