Wings are Hardmode accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the ↷ Jump 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 ↷ Jump key after flight time has been exhausted, the player is able to glide. Gliding fall speed can be accelerated by holding the ▼ Down key in addition. Certain Wings can also allow the player to hover in the air..

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 40 total types of Wings across all platforms. There are 39 wings available on the  PC version, 21 on the  Console version and  Mobile version. 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.

Wings are crafted at a Mythril Anvil or an Orichalcum Anvil. The Solar Wings, Vortex Booster, Nebula Mantle, and Stardust Wings are crafted at the Ancient Manipulator. Wings that are not craftable can be obtained from certain NPCs, can be dropped by certain enemies, and can be contained only in Treasure Bags from Hardmode bosses in Expert Mode.

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

Notes

Stacked Accessories		Boost
	All bottle accessories	no boost
	All Balloon accessories.	+30% ascent speed
	Rocket boot accessories.	Flight time added to Wings
	Moon Charm	+4% ascent speed
	Frog Leg	+48% ascent speed

• All Wings work under Water.
• Multiple Wings cannot be equipped at once.
• Some jump-boosting accessories do stack with Wings to boost flight (see chart to the right).
• Wings are always visible when equipped, 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 in flight.
• When one Wing type is placed in a vanity (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.
• If Red's wings are obtained in Xbox 360 or Xbox One or Wii U edition, then they will not disappear and can be used without any problems. It has been confirmed that it can be obtained on PS3 consoles but it's impossible to get it without hacks. It can be obtained on mobile, but not legitimately. You can only obtain them through hacks, and they will disappear if they are on your person or in a chest once you leave the world.
• If you have equipped any type of wings, you will not take fall damage, rendering accessories like the Lucky Horseshoe that prevent fall damage unnecessary.

Tips

• To fly continuously, when flying, use the Grappling Hook to hit a block then release immediately after, and continue to hold the ↷ Jump Key.
• 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 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.
• Some wings are particularly easy to acquire early on in Hardmode:
  • Leaf Wings requires nothing more than putting the Witch Doctor in a Jungle biome and paying 1 platinum.
  • Harpy Wings requires a bit of luck when farming Harpies. Fortunately, Wyverns spawn at the same altitude, so when a Giant Harpy Feather drops, odds are good the 20 needed Souls of Flight will already have been collected.
  • Frozen Wings requires a good Blizzard and a quantity of Snow biome from which to farm Ice Golems. Souls of Flight still must be collected.
  • Fairy Wings requires 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

• Most Wing types make the same sound when flapping, with some exceptions marked above.
• Some Mounts also grant flight ability, some with infinite flight time (all Wings provide only temporary flight).
• You will need 300 (295 on Console) Souls of Flight in total to craft all craftable Wings, and 2 40 (1 80 on Console) to buy all purchasable Wings.
• Prior to 1.2, the only wings obtainable were angel wings and demon wings.
• Template:Console iconTemplate:Mobile iconSpectre Wings are called Ghost Wings on Console and Mobile.
• Wings made from Luminite Bars are the only craftable wings that do not require Souls of Flight.
