Gnarly Gliders overhauls aerial traversal in Hytale, moving beyond simple slow-falling by introducing a structured tiering system and a boost mechanic that rewards efficient stamina management. Designed to grow with your character, each glider tier is crafted using materials unique to Hytale’s four main zones; ranging from basic Forest materials in Zone 1 to the scorched essences of the Devastated Lands in Zone 4. This ensures your flight capabilities progress naturally throughout your playthrough. By utilizing the dedicated Gnarly Gliders Workbench and the rare Mithril Aerofoil upgrade system, you can transform these biome-specific wings into Legendary Tier 5 gliders.

The Glider Collection

Each variant carries its own lore and aesthetic, ensuring your glider feels like a part of your character's journey through Orbis

Tier 5 gliders cannot be crafted directly, they must be upgraded.

3. Ascend: Select any Tier 1–4 glider from your inventory to instantly transform it into its Legendary T5 version with maximum stats and full durability.

**Note: You need Mithril and Stormleather to craft this**
