In Archeage Classic there are many different kind of gliders available. From early levels players get rewarded their first so called ''basic glider'' that doesn't have any skills yet. By upgrading it players can use various skills and stay airborne longer. In Archeage term gliding is basically player jumping from a high place or from their standing point with the assist of their glider skill and descending momentarily. Some gliders have skills to pump up the altitude while gliding but the way is always down eventually. Meaning there is no "flying" in the game as in staying in the air as long as the players wants. Taking damage while gliding will drop the player down. | |||
There are certain stats on the glider that can be enhanced by upgrading the glider. Those stats consist of: | |||
=== Gliders === | |||
* Flight Speed = Speed of forward movement | |||
* Gliding Ability = How slowly it loses altitude | |||
* Turning Speed = How fast and sharp it can turn | |||
* Launch Height = How far up it launches you | |||
* Special Skill | |||
=== Magithopters === | |||
* Air Speed = Speed of forward movement | |||
* Cruising Ability = How slowly it loses altitude | |||
* Sheering Speed = How fast and sharp it can turn | |||
* Ascension = How far up it launches you | |||
* Special Skill | |||
Magithopters differentiate from gliders in that Magithopters can hover in place and descend slower than gliders. They also have really close turning radius meaning player will turn while hovering in their place. They are also in general slower but boost player far more higher when standing still and using glider. Magithopters also have more, so called, customizations like wings, backbags or balloons. | |||

In Archeage Classic there are many different kind of gliders available. From early levels players get rewarded their first so called basic glider that doesn't have any skills yet. By upgrading it players can use various skills and stay airborne longer. In Archeage term gliding is basically player jumping from a high place or from their standing point with the assist of their glider skill and descending momentarily. Some gliders have skills to pump up the altitude while gliding but the way is always down eventually. Meaning there is no "flying" in the game as in staying in the air as long as the players wants. Taking damage while gliding will drop the player down.
There are certain stats on the glider that can be enhanced by upgrading the glider. Those stats consist of:
Gliders
- Flight Speed = Speed of forward movement
- Gliding Ability = How slowly it loses altitude
- Turning Speed = How fast and sharp it can turn
- Launch Height = How far up it launches you
- Special Skill
Magithopters
- Air Speed = Speed of forward movement
- Cruising Ability = How slowly it loses altitude
- Sheering Speed = How fast and sharp it can turn
- Ascension = How far up it launches you
- Special Skill
Magithopters differentiate from gliders in that Magithopters can hover in place and descend slower than gliders. They also have really close turning radius meaning player will turn while hovering in their place. They are also in general slower but boost player far more higher when standing still and using glider. Magithopters also have more, so called, customizations like wings, backbags or balloons.
How to Make the Basic Glider
Every player gets a free basic glider from the quests while leveling early on (experimental glider). This basic glider can be upgraded to have more skills and faster gliding speed by buying blueprints from Mirage Island and crafting at the Machining bench.

When you enter Mirage you need to travel on the left side to find the blueprint place. Mirage Island does sell the first glider players get from the early quests too so it is easy to craft another glider. Below basic glider's list in order of upgrading. Basic glider doens't have any special skill.
