Palworld 1.0: How to Unlock and Use the Wing Pack

The Wing Pack unlocks at Technology Tree Level 80 and runs on Wing Cells, letting you fly without giving up a Pal slot.

The Wing Pack unlocks at Technology Tree Level 80 and runs on Wing Cells, letting you fly without giving up a Pal slot.

The Wing Pack is Palworld 1.0’s answer to a problem that stuck around for the entire Early Access period. Instead of burning one of your five party slots on a flying Pal, you equip the Wing Pack in your glider slot and take to the air on your own. It is classed as a glider in the menus, but with the right fuel it works more like a jetpack, letting you rise, dive, and hold altitude at high speed.

Quick answer: Reach Technology Tree Level 80, open the Ancient Technology column, and craft the Wing Pack at an Ancient Workbench using 30 Paldium Fragment, 6 Paloxite Ingot, 20 AI Core, 20 Thermal Core, and 10 Ancient Civilization Core. Craft Wing Cells too, then equip the pack in your glider slot and boost.


What you need before you can craft the Wing Pack

This is deep endgame tech, so there is no shortcut to reaching it. The blueprint sits at the very top of the Technology Tree, in the Ancient Technology section on the right side of the tab. You also need the crafting station that can actually build it.

Because Level 80 is the last node on the tree, expect a long grind to reach it. The Wing Cell fuel unlocks at the same level, so you gain access to both parts of the system at once.


Wing Pack and Wing Cell crafting recipes

Both items are built at the Ancient Workbench. The Wing Pack is a one-time craft, while Wing Cells are consumable fuel you will keep making as you fly.

The Wing Cell recipe is cheap by comparison, so stock up on several at once. A single cell only lasts as long as you keep boosting, and heavy acceleration drains it faster.


Getting Paloxite Ingots, the hardest material

Most of the recipe is standard late-game fare, but Paloxite Ingots are the real bottleneck. They come from Paloxite ore, which only appears in the World Tree region, so you have to unlock that area first.

There is one more catch. World Tree resources vanish if you get close without the right protection. To mine Paloxite reliably, bring a Pal that carries the new passive skill which stops those resources from disappearing as you approach. The most dependable way to get that passive is from Pals hatched out of Ominous Eggs found inside the World Tree.

Once you have a suitable Pal, return to the World Tree and break the ore. Paloxite is easy to spot thanks to its distinct pinkish tint. Smelt it into ingots and you clear the last gate on the Wing Pack recipe.


How to equip and fly with the Wing Pack

Open your inventory and slot the Wing Pack into the glider slot. It replaces whatever glider you were using before.
Make sure you are carrying Wing Cells. The pack pulls from them automatically when you boost, and without fuel you cannot gain altitude.
Deploy the glider and boost. While a Wing Cell is active you can climb, drop, and change direction freely at high speed. Crucially, flight costs no stamina, so you can stay airborne until the fuel runs dry.

What happens when a Wing Cell runs out

Running dry mid-air is not a death sentence. When a Wing Cell is spent, the Wing Pack stops powered flight but keeps working as a regular glider. You can coast down to safe ground, land, and reload another cell before taking off again. Since duration scales with how hard you accelerate, gliding between short boosts stretches each cell much further.

One important limitation to keep in mind. The Wing Pack does not stack with the Galeclaw’s gliding partner skill. If you equip the pack and summon Galeclaw, the game deploys the Pal instead, so the two systems are mutually exclusive. The upside is that with the Wing Pack handling movement, all five of your party slots stay free for combat Pals, which is exactly why it is worth the long climb to Level 80.
