You'll need to farm to get the materials needed
  • Eight (8) Flexwood Rod
  • Four (4) Wool Fabric
  • Six (6) Silk Fabric

How to get Flexwood Rod

To get Flexwood Rod you first need to get raw Flexwood. This is a special type of wood only available from cutting down cactuses in the desert biome. You'll need at least a rare (blue) axe to cut the cactuses.

By the point you need to start looking for Flexwood, you'll most likely have a Lumber Mill crafted. Simply drop your raw Flexwood and the Lumber Mill will turn it into Flexwood Rod.

How to get Wool and Silk Fabric

The raw resources are super easy to find, the tricky part is turning them into the necessary refined ones to craft the glider.

  • You get wool by petting sheep
  • You get silk by killing spiders

Once you have the right amount of both, head over to your Spinning Wheel. Here, you'll turn the wool and silk into threads. Now that you have silk and wool threads, you can turn them into fabrics. To do so you'll need to craft a Loom. These are the resources you need to craft one:

  • Nine (9) Flexwood
  • Eight (8) Flexwood Rod
  • Six (6) Sandclaw

As you can see you will need a ton of Flexwood so better start chopping. As for the sand claws, you'll get those by defeating wolves from the desert biome. Once you have your Loom crafted and turn the threads into fabric, head to the workbench and craft your glider.
