Getting those stylish wings in Genshin Impact is one of the first major milestones that makes exploring Teyvat truly magical. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about unlocking and equipping these essential gliding tools.
Unlocking Your First Wings
You’ll get your first set of wings, the Wind Glider, pretty early in the game during the Prologue in Mondstadt. After meeting Amber and completing the “Winds of the Past” quest, she’ll teach you the basics of gliding and gift you your very first wings. It’s like getting your driver’s license in Teyvat – suddenly the whole world opens up!
How to Equip Wings
Once you have wings in your inventory, equipping them is super straightforward:
1. Open your main menu
2. Click on the “Wings” icon or navigate to your character menu
3. Select “Glider” from the options
4. Choose your preferred wing style from available options
5. Hit “Equip” to confirm your selection
Quick Tips for Wing Management
Here’s something I learned the hard way – you can actually set different wings for different characters! Just select the character you want to customize first, then follow the same equipping steps. It’s a great way to match wings with your character’s aesthetic or element.
Collecting Different Wing Styles
While the starter Wind Glider is great, there are so many beautiful variants to collect throughout your journey. Some of my favorites come from:
– Reputation rewards in different regions
– Special events
– Battle Pass rewards
– Anniversary celebrations
Managing Stamina While Gliding
Remember, gliding isn’t just about looking cool – it’s a crucial exploration tool. Keep an eye on your stamina meter while flying. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve misjudged my stamina and ended up taking an unexpected swim! Your stamina consumption decreases as you level up your Statues of The Seven, so don’t forget to collect those Anemoculus and Geoculus.
Pro Gliding Tips
Want to make the most of your wings? Try these advanced techniques:
– Start gliding from higher points to cover more distance
– Use updrafts in certain areas to gain height
– Combine gliding with character abilities for better mobility
– Press the sprint button while gliding for a temporary speed boost
Remember, while wings are primarily a tool for exploration, they also add that extra layer of style to your characters. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different wing styles to create your perfect look – after all, looking good while saving Teyvat is half the fun!
