Quick Answer: TL;DR: The Short Answer
If you want to dominate the skies and get the Wing Pack in Palworld 1.0 as fast as possible, here is the exact blueprint you need to follow:
Editor’s Note
When Palworld 1.0 dropped, I immediately rushed the new Sky Island biomes. I quickly realized that the old traversal methods were getting me killed. The momentum drop-off on standard gliders was too severe. After grinding out the new technology tree and optimizing my base’s production lines, I finally crafted the Wing Pack. It completely changed my late-game exploration loop. The stamina efficiency and horizontal speed are unmatched, allowing you to save your Pal slots for pure combat powerhouses instead of utility mounts.
We have all been there. You are exploring the massive new biomes introduced in Palworld 1.0, you leap off a massive cliff to glide across a canyon, and suddenly—your stamina bar flashes red. Your standard Giga Glider folds up, and you plummet to the ground, losing your gear and your pride. The verticality in Palworld 1.0 demands a better traversal solution, and relying on early-access gliders or burning a precious party slot on a Galeclaw just isn’t optimal anymore. Enter the Wing Pack.
The Mechanics: Why the Wing Pack Changes Everything
Before we dive into the grueling crafting process, you need to understand why the Wing Pack is a mandatory upgrade in Palworld 1.0. In the early access days, players relied heavily on the Galeclaw Pal for fast gliding or the Jetragon for flying.
However, Palworld 1.0 introduces incredibly tough raid bosses (like Ryu and Xenolord) and brutal high-level dungeons. Dedicating a slot in your 5-Pal party to a Galeclaw just for traversal means you are sacrificing 20% of your combat potential. The Wing Pack bridges this gap. It provides horizontal velocity that rivals a mid-tier flying mount and drains stamina at a fraction of the rate of the Hyper Glider.
Furthermore, the Wing Pack has a unique deployment animation that preserves your forward momentum. If you are sprinting or sliding downhill before deploying it, the Wing Pack captures that kinetic energy, allowing you to cross massive gaps between the new Sky Islands without losing altitude prematurely.
Step 1: Unlocking the Blueprint in the Technology Tree
You cannot simply stumble upon the Wing Pack; it is a locked piece of high-tier technology.
First, you must reach the endgame levels (Level 50+). If you are struggling to level up, focus on the “Capture 10” bonus for the newly introduced Pals in the 1.0 update, or farm the Alpha Bosses scattered around the map.
Once you hit the required level, you will notice the Wing Pack sits in the Ancient Technology column on the right side of the tech tree. This means standard Technology Points will not cut it. You need Ancient Technology Points.
How to farm Ancient Technology Points efficiently:
Step 2: Building the Ultimate Assembly Line
The Wing Pack is a complex piece of machinery. You cannot craft it on a primitive workbench. You need a Weapon Assembly Line II.
Setting this up requires a significant base infrastructure upgrade. If you are still using primitive furnaces and manual labor, you are going to hit a wall. Here is what your base needs:
If your current base is a disorganized mess from the early access days, you might be wondering if you should experience this progression from scratch or carry over your old base. Sometimes, rebuilding a dedicated factory base from the ground up is faster than trying to retrofit an old, inefficient layout.
Step 3: Farming the Endgame Materials
This is where the true Palworld 1.0 grind begins. The Wing Pack requires top-tier materials that will force you to explore the most dangerous zones.
Plasteel (The New 1.0 Resource)
Plasteel is the bottleneck for almost all Palworld 1.0 endgame gear, including the Wing Pack. To get Plasteel, you need Crude Oil.
Once you have Crude Oil, process it in an Electric Furnace alongside Pal Metal Ingots to create Plasteel.
Pal Metal Ingots
You need a massive supply of Pal Metal. This requires mining both Ore and Coal.
High Quality Cloth
While you can craft this using Wool, it is incredibly inefficient.
Ancient Civilization Parts
You should have plenty of these if you have been hunting Alpha Bosses to get the Ancient Technology points. If you are short, run a few low-level dungeons or kill low-level Alphas like Chillet; they still drop Ancient Civilization Parts upon defeat or capture.

Advanced Traversal: The Grapple-Glider Exploit
Getting the Wing Pack is only half the battle; knowing how to push its physics to the limit is what separates average players from hardcore speedrunners. Palworld 1.0 retains a highly popular physics interaction between the Grappling Gun and gliders.
The Technique:
Because the Wing Pack preserves forward momentum better than any other glider in the game, you will be launched across the map at speeds that rival a sprinting Jetragon. This technique costs zero stamina to initiate, meaning your entire stamina bar can be used purely to maintain altitude via the Wing Pack.
The Ultimate Shortcut: Skip the Grind with XMODhub
Let’s be completely honest. The grind for Plasteel, the base management required to keep Anubis from getting depressed, and the endless search for Ancient Technical Manuals can take dozens of hours. If you are a working adult who just wants to explore the new Palworld 1.0 biomes, fight the new bosses, and enjoy the game without treating it like a second job, you need a smarter approach.
Instead of spending 15 hours optimizing a Crude Oil extraction base, you can get the Wing Pack instantly with XMODhub.
XMODhub is the premier, safest modding engine for PC single-player games. It injects directly into the game’s memory, allowing you to bypass the tedious survival mechanics and focus purely on the fun. For Palworld 1.0, XMODhub offers specific features that completely negate the glider grind:

Wing Pack vs. Legacy Gliders: A Statistical Comparison
To truly understand why the Wing Pack is heavily sought after in the 1.0 update, you need to look at how it stacks up against the legacy gliders from early access. If you are still clinging to your Hyper Glider, you are severely handicapping your exploration efficiency.
| Glider Classification | Base Horizontal Speed | Stamina Drain Rate | Momentum Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wing Pack (1.0 Exclusive) | Very High | Very Low | Exceptional |
| Hyper Glider | High | Moderate | Low |
| Giga Glider | Medium | High | Poor |
| Mega Glider | Low | Very High | None |
As the data shows, the Wing Pack is not just a slight numerical bump; it fundamentally alters momentum mechanics. It allows you to convert downhill sliding speed directly into aerial velocity, a trait entirely absent in the Mega and Giga variants.
How to “Upgrade” Your Wing Pack Experience
A common question among Palworld 1.0 players is how to physically upgrade the Wing Pack at a workbench. The truth is, the Wing Pack does not have crafting tiers (like a “Wing Pack +1” or “Legendary Wing Pack”). However, you can drastically upgrade its performance by optimizing your character’s build around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes! Unlike some early-game traversal methods, the Wing Pack allows for one-handed weapon usage. You can fire handguns, throw Pal Spheres, and use the Grappling Gun while gliding, making it an incredible tool for aerial combat against ground-based raid bosses.
A: In terms of raw, sustained flight speed, a fully condensed, passive-skill-optimized Jetragon (with Swift, Runner, Legend) is still faster. However, the Wing Pack does not require a Pal slot, and when combined with the Grapple-Glider exploit mentioned above, its burst speed actually exceeds Jetragon’s sprint for short distances.
A: No. If you have a Galeclaw in your party, deploying your glider will automatically summon Galeclaw instead of using your equipped Wing Pack. If you want to use the Wing Pack, you must remove Galeclaw from your active party.
A: As of the current Palworld 1.0 patch, equipment customization and dyeing are highly limited. The Wing Pack has a static appearance. However, the modding community is already working on cosmetic overrides if you play on PC.
Final Verdict
The Wing Pack in Palworld 1.0 is not just a luxury; it is a fundamental requirement for tackling the brutal verticality of the late-game biomes and dodging massive AoE attacks from new raid bosses. While the grind to set up Plasteel production and farm Ancient Technology points is steep, the sheer utility of freeing up a Pal slot while maintaining incredible aerial mobility is worth every piece of Pal Metal. Ensure your base is heavily fortified, your Electric Pals are well-fed, and your Crude Oil extractors are running 24/7.
