Enshrouded Gliders Ranked

In the vast, shrouded world of Enshrouded, mastering verticality is key to survival and exploration. Gliders transform perilous falls into graceful descents, enabling players to cross chasms, scout enemy camps from above, and access hidden areas. This guide ranks every available glider from worst to best, based on range, speed, and stamina efficiency. We’ll dive into crafting requirements, acquisition strategies, synergistic skills, and build recommendations to help you dominate the skies.

Understanding Glider Stats and Mechanics

Gliders in Enshrouded aren’t just cosmetic; they directly impact your mobility. Key stats include:

• Range: Percentage multiplier on glide distance. Higher values mean longer flights.
• Speed: Horizontal velocity during glide. Crucial for quick escapes or covering ground.
• Stamina Drain: Stamina consumed per second. Efficient gliders preserve your bar for extended use.

Base stamina regenerates slowly, so pairing gliders with skills and gear is essential. All gliders require a Carpenter workstation for crafting after unlocking recipes through quests or loot.

Full Glider Tier List

Here’s our definitive ranking, starting with the entry-level option and ascending to legendary status. Stats are relative to the basic Glider (set at 100% range, 10 speed, 4/s stamina).

Rank 4: Basic Glider – Your First Wings

The Basic Glider is the starter model, automatically unlocked after completing the ‘Clear the Elixir Well’ quest in the early game. It’s functional for short hops but quickly outpaced.

Crafting Recipe:

• Shroud Wood x8
• Animal Fur x4
• String x5

Expect modest performance: it covers baseline distances without draining extra stamina. Ideal for beginners practicing jumps from low heights. Upgrade ASAP to avoid frustration in open areas.

Rank 3: Advanced Glider – Stepping Up Mobility

Unlocked via the Hunter questline by crafting Linen at the Hand Spindle. This mid-tier glider boosts range by 50% and speed significantly, making hill-to-hill traversal viable.

Crafting Recipe:

• Shroud Wood x6
• Linen x4
• Shroud Sack x2

Stamina efficiency matches the basic model, allowing longer sessions. Players around level 10-15 will appreciate this for Nomad Highlands exploration.

Rank 2: Extraordinary Glider – Elite Performance Unlocked

A step into epic territory, the Extraordinary Glider demands Leather from the Tanning Station (Hunter quest in Nomad Highlands). It doubles base range and doubles speed, perfect for Kindlewastes scouting.

Crafting Recipe:

• Shroud Wood x4
• Leather x2
• Alchemical Base x1

The slight stamina increase (5/s) is a fair trade for vastly improved stats. By level 20, this becomes your go-to before chasing legendaries.

Rank 1: Ghost Glider – The Pinnacle of Flight

Crowning our list, the Ghost Glider offers unmatched 250% range and 25 speed. It’s level 30 legendary gear, looted from a golden chest atop the Sun Temple in southeast Kindlewastes.

To reach it: From Kindlewastes Ancient Spire, head south past Scatterbone Scavengers. Navigate the temple’s platforms, puzzles, and foes—bring fire resistance and a strong bow. The chest also grants the crafting recipe.

Crafting Recipe:

• Shroud Wood x3
• Fabric x2
• Enshrouded Oil x4
• Sulfur x1
• String x1

Despite 5/s stamina, its raw power redefines travel. Glide through rock formations back to your Flame Altar for style points.

Essential Skills for Glider Mastery

Gliders shine with Assassin tree investments:

• Airborne: 30% reduced stamina use while gliding. Non-negotiable for distance.
• Updraft: Mid-air jump (100 mana cost). Pair with mana regen gear.

Other synergies: Battle Heal for sustain, increased stamina pools via Ranger skills.

Optimal Stamina Builds for Endless Flight

Maximize glide time with these setups:

1. Core Stats: Prioritize Stamina and Mana. Aim for 200+ stamina by level 25.
2. Gear: Guard of the North set for early desert runs; craft stamina potions from Elixir Wells.
3. Consumables: Buffs like Well-fed (from cooking) extend bars by 20-50%.
4. Tactics: Launch from heights, chain updrafts, land on updrafts for regen.

A full build example: Ghost Glider + Airborne/Updraft + 250 stamina + linen armor = cross-biome flights without touching ground.

Common Mistakes and Pro Tips
