Wings

Forsaken World wings — flight system with stat-bearing tiers (HP/Attack/Defense bonuses) and prestige cosmetic visibility. Each race has its own wings progression. Tied to Faith and Color Rating systems.

Overview

Wings in Forsaken World are the flight system — cosmetic and stat-bearing wings that unlock at certain milestones, allowing characters to soar through the open world. Beyond pure cosmetics, wings provide stat bonuses (HP, attack, defense, mastery) and serve as a major prestige indicator at endgame.

This article covers the wings progression, types, acquisition, and the wider Wings System mechanics. For the full progression mechanics, see Wings System.

Why Wings Matter

Wings serve three purposes:

Flight — once unlocked, you can fly across most outdoor zones
Stat Bonuses — wings carry passive HP/Attack/Defense bonuses based on tier
Cosmetic Status — high-tier wings are visible to all players, signaling investment

The Wings System ties into the Color Rating system from gem embedding — high color rating + advanced wings together signal an endgame-tier character.

Purpose of Wings

Wings are a functional element of a character that indicates the total brilliance of gems embedded in their equipment. When this brilliance reaches 100, 200, 280, or 420 points, new wings will appear.

The presence of wings implies that the character has at least three pieces of equipment with an enhancement level of at least +9, and all equipment slots are embedded with at least level 3 gems. Higher-level wings require more enhanced equipment and level 4 gems. To achieve the maximum level 4 wings, you need 28 level 5 gems, which is quite challenging.

Obtaining Wings

Wings appear when the total brilliance level of gems in the equipment reaches:

First level wings - 100 brilliance points or more,
Second level wings - 200 brilliance points or more,
Third level wings - 280 brilliance points,
Fourth level wings - 420 brilliance points (maximum brilliance for the current client version).

No activation is needed; just equip all your gear.

Differences

Wings differ in appearance based on:

The race of the owner,
The level of the wings.

For all races and classes, the conditions for obtaining and the bonuses of wings are the same. Differences can be seen in the respective articles:

Human Wings; Elf Wings; Vesperian Wings; Dwarf Wings; Franger Wings;

Lycan Wings; Demon Wings.

Possible Combinations for Obtaining

1st Level (100 Brilliance):

With enhancement available for seven equipment elements, level 2 gems cannot reach 100 brilliance even with +12 enhancement, so only level 3 gems can provide wings.

Minimum Requirements:

At least three pieces of equipment enhanced to +9 (3 slots).
For the remaining four items, +6 enhancement is sufficient (2 slots).

Total:	102 brilliance

A total of 17 slots are needed, requiring 17 level 3 gems to achieve 102 brilliance and obtain level 1 wings.

2nd Level (200 Brilliance):

With enhancement available for seven equipment elements, level 3 gems cannot provide brilliance for level 2 wings even with +12 enhancement, so level 4 gems are necessary.

The simplest, yet most demanding calculation.

FAQ

Q: When do I unlock wings? A: Each race has its own wings progression — typically starting around level 40-50 with introductory wings, expanding through quests and faith systems into endgame at level 70+.

Q: Can I fly anywhere? A: Most outdoor zones, yes. Some instance interiors and PvP zones disable flight to keep encounters fair.

Q: Wings vs Mounts — when to use which? A: Mounts are faster on the ground and don't have casting/skill restrictions. Wings let you bypass terrain and reach previously-inaccessible areas. Use mounts for quest travel, wings for exploration and aerial PvP.

Q: Do wings have durability? A: They don't break, but their stat bonuses depend on faith level / wing tier — investing in faith progression directly upgrades wing power.
