Wind Glider

Wind Gliders are the primary tool that players use for Gliding in mid-air through open terrain in Genshin Impact. Wind Gliders can be changed for each individual Character in the Dressing Room. This customization is purely aesthetic and has no impact on gameplay.
==Usage==
While gliding is another stamina-consuming activity, it does not cost as much stamina as sprinting, and is comparable to that of regular swimming. The utilization of gliders varies — often, deploying the glider can negate user Fall Damage from any height (unless the player opts out of gliding in mid-air). Gliders are also used to be able to reach high areas that neither normally jumping or climbing would achieve.
==Story==
The Wind Glider was invented 2600 years ago by a retired adventurer named Leonard. Leonard had previously attempted to scale a great mountain named Pilos Peak, but failed, and created the Wind Glider to help other explorers succeed in their endeavors. Once, a man from Sumeru named Firnas (not to be confused with the present Firnas) realized that Wind Gliders did not follow the laws of physics, and that they relied on the blessing of the Anemo Archon to function. He attempted to construct a Wind Glider that worked through physical laws alone, but it is said that after an encounter with the Dendro Archon in his dreams, Firnas came to accept that the gods' blessings are also part of the world's laws.
When the Traveler first enters the city of Mondstadt and heads up to the fountain area, they are greeted with the unlocking of the wind glider by Amber. A short quick-time tutorial is given to the player to help them learn the controls of a glider.
It is not until the quest Glide With the Wind, that Amber tells the player they cannot glide (in Mondstadt, at least) without a gliding license. Regardless if the quest is done or not, however, it does not restrict the player from using a glider in any area of the game.

==Trivia==
* Players can use the Wind Glider before unlocking it from the by ejecting from a Waverider or using a Thunder Sphere.
** The glider used appears to be Wings of First Flight.
** Due to the limited map area before completion of The Outlander Who Caught the Wind, both methods require players to use other players' worlds, which is only possible after unlocking Co-Op Mode at Adventure Rank 16.
** It was possible to use the Wind Glider in single-player mode in Version 1.6 after the Midsummer Island Adventure event ended, as all players who reached Adventure Rank 21 could reach the Golden Apple Archipelago, which had Waverider Waypoints.
* According to Amber, many people who are new to using gliders will learn to fly in Springvale, since the buildings only have two or three floors.
