Whilst behaving similar to normal gliders, they differ in a few key areas: With Revelation, a new type of glider was introduced, the Magithopter. However, they may be worth mentioning.ġThe Ultra-Lightweight glider's Nitro skill requires character level 30, while other gliders have no such requirement. These gliders, while in other versions of the game, are not confirmed for the North American version of ArcheAge. There are several gliders in game, obtained either by loot drop or crafting.ġUnknown is the value specified in game, it is thought to be a value above Very High.ĢThe Feathered Dragon Glider does not lose altitude when holding "back" ("S" by default) and is immune to turbulence.

Dismounting (R)too far above the ground will also cause fall damage. Most glider flights are also limited to 3 minutes as indicated by a buff on your character however some rare gliders have flight times up to 10 minutes If the buff runs out while you are still in flight you will fall to the ground and take fall damage. The higher you are on the terrain when you deploy your glider the further you will be able to fly and the higher the obstacles you'll be able to fly over.įlight time and distance varies depending on your height at take off, and whether or not you have skills to prolong your flight. When flying the only limit to where you can explore is whether or not you have sufficient height to pass over obstacles. While flying you will be able to change your height, directions and speed while using your movement keys or mouse with the primary button held down. Once equipped, your glider will be shown on your character's back and will resemble a shield, to draw your glider and begin flying you can double tap your jump key or use a hotbar key (default is (Shift)+(=)). To fly in ArcheAge, you will need a glider first acquired around level 10 and you will need to equip it on your character screen. The Ultimate glider requires level 20 to equip.The Enhanced glider requires level 15 to equip.The Improved glider requires level 10 to equip.
#Archeage map 3.0 upgrade
The upgrades must be done in order, if you want the Enhanced Glider then you must upgrade to the Improved Glider first. Each upgrade is in the form of a blueprint purchased for Gilda Stars at Mirage Island, you use these blueprints along with your glider in the Machining section of a Carpentry Workbench. The Experimental Glider you obtain can be upgraded three times. A Firran or Harani character obtains their first glider from a quest at Anvilton that you turn in at the NPC Amatur located at Ironclaw Mine in the Tigerspine Mountains.An Elf or Nuian character obtains their first glider from a quest at Riverspan that you turn in at the NPC Engineer Red located at Bear Mountain in Lilyut Hills.The basic glider is offered through an early quest line and can be upgraded through the crafting system at various levels. Since 3.0 Revelation, the stats of most gliders, except for the non-ultimate beginner gliders, are normalized, that is to say, their stats are the same, they only differ in looks and special abilities such as an upward boost to quickly gain altitude, the ability to drop explosives on targets below, dive-bomb, quick side-rolls, etc. Initial Speed: Does it start out fast or take time to build up speed?.Turning Speed: How quickly (and thus sharply) it can turn.Gliding Ability: How slowly it loses altitude.Flight Speed: Speed of forward movement.Įvery glider has a set of ratings in these basic stats:

There are multiple different glider models, including one dropped by the legendary Kraken. Gliders are equipped to your character’s back in the same slot a trade or resource pack would occupy, thus preventing you from gliding while also carrying a heavy load! Gliders will always tend to, well, glide down different models have more or less time and ability to stay aloft, but the higher tier gliders all have the same stats except for they all have different abilities. Gliders are a unique take on flying mounts that allow you to control your character in the air while also taking into account gravity, height, duration of flight, and potential obstacles in your path.
