Introducing Great New Glider Upgrades
Soaring through the skies high above Erenor, you may sometimes wish you could make sharper turns or attain more altitude. We did too. That’s why we’re pleased to announce that top-tier Gliders will be given a new progression path this July!

Most valuable Gliders in ArcheAge fall into the HHMM format (High Top Speed, High Gliding, Moderate Turning, Moderate Initial Speed). The system will allow Gliders to upgrade to HHHH, and, with additional time and effort, to obtain a VH (Very High) rating in one attribute!
Let’s start with a list of eligible Gliders*:
  • Corrupt Ally’s Wings
  • Crimson Fae Wings
  • Ezi’s Glider
  • Feathered Dragon Glider
  • Feathered Hope
  • Gilt Spiral Glider
  • Glass Phoenix Glider
  • Goblin Glider
  • Lapis Fae Wings
  • Legendary Dragon Wings
  • Loving Ally’s Wings
  • Moonshadow Glider
  • Pure Ally’s Wings
  • Red Dragon Glider
  • Skywhisper Glider
  • Sloth Glider Companion
  • Thunderbolt Glider
  • Squirrel Glider Companion
*Note: Some of these Gliders may not yet be available in the NA/EU Regions, and some of the gliders were obtained from limited time promotions.
So how exactly do I awesomize my Glider?
You’ll need one of the Gliders listed above, a Carpentry Workbench and a small level of Machining Proficiency.
Enhanced Glider
First, you’ll need to improve your base Glider to an Enhanced version. To accomplish this, craft Glider Enhancement Tools.
Materials:
  • 100 Glowing Prisms
  • 200 Gilda Dust
  • 2 Thunderstruck Logs
  • 1 Sunridge Ingot
  • 50 Blue Salt Hammers
Let’s use the basic Red Dragon Glider (HHMM) as an example. When you combine it with Glider Enhancement Tools, it will become an Enhanced Red Dragon Glider (Grand Rarity -HHHH). BOOYAH!
Sealed Glider
For the next upgrade, you’ll be able to convert an Enhanced Glider into Sealed Glider. Combine your Enhanced Glider with a Glider Manacharge Scroll, crafted at a Printing Press.
Materials:
  • 20 Glowing Prisms
  • 1 Blank Regrade Scroll
  • 1 Prismatic Diamond
  • 10 Blue Salt Hammers
Once the Sealed Glider is created, it can be unsealed to reveal if the glider was successfully upgraded to a version of the Glider that has unlocked a Very High rating in Top Speed, Gliding, Turning, or Initial Speed. If you unlock Top Speed, for instance, then this final form’s designation will be VHHHH. You can never have more than one attribute at VH.
If your Glider does not come out with the VH stat in the slot you hoped for, you can remove the enhancement with a Glider Wingmaker Scroll (which you can craft in-game or purchase for 500 Credits on the Marketplace). A Glider can be reverted and unsealed as many times as you wish, similar to Weapon/Armor Tempering.
It is important to note that all enhanced Gliders are “Bind on Pickup” after upgrading, so they cannot be traded after that point.
Skywhisper Glider
We’re also bringing you a brand new kind of Glider on July 21st! The Skywhisper Glider will be a rare item obtainable from the Skywhisper Archeum Supply Crate or for 450 Loyalty Tokens. The base stats on this unique Glider are HHHH and it’s upgradeable!
The Skywhisper looks like a biplane and has a canvas covering like the aircraft it’s modeled after. This means they can be completely re-skinned with a Crest Brainstorm/Crest Stamp. To help you start customizing your Skywhisper, we’ve provided the UCC template and some examples below!

You are now cleared for takeoff. See you in the skies of ArcheAge!
