11 Overview

33 The Waverider is a hoverboard in Starsand Island that hovers above the ground, providing smooth and fast personal transportation. It is crafted as part of the Senior Crafter certification and builds on the Skateboard as a base component. The Waverider is classified as an aerial vehicle, distinct from ground vehicles like motorcycles and cars. Its hovering capability lets players reach elevated platforms that other compact vehicles cannot access, and it is one of the personal vehicles that can be used inside the Moonlit Forest.

55 How to Get the Waverider

77 The Waverider is unlocked through the Crafter profession questline mentored by Zerine at the General Store. To earn the Senior Crafter certification, players must craft a brand-new vehicle type using the Skateboard they made during the Apprentice Crafter trial.

Several materials require progress into the Moonlit Forest.Craft the Waverider at a Worktable II.Take the finished Waverider to Zerine at the General Store to receive your Senior Crafter certification.

1818 Several Waverider components require their own crafting chains. Planning ahead and stockpiling materials from the Moonlit Forest saves time.

2020 Spirit Cube II requires 2 Spirit Cube I and 1 Magnet, each crafted at Worktable II. Each Spirit Cube I takes 4 Spirit Cube Fragments and 2 Bronze. For the full Waverider recipe you need 2 Spirit Cube II, which means 16 Spirit Cube Fragments total. Fragments come from analyzing Uncommon Ore Chunks at the Ore Analyzer. Common Ore Chunks cannot produce Spirit Cube Fragments. Uncommon Ore Chunks are mined from nodes in the midsection of the Moonlit Forest, particularly around the Azure Bay area, using an Impact Hammer on Soil Mounds.

2222 Flamecore Ingot is Smelted At

2323

2424 Flamecore Ingot is smelted at Furnace III from Flamecore Ore found in deeper Moonlit Forest regions. A common point of confusion: some players believe Furnace III requires Worktable III, but you can upgrade Furnace II to Furnace III through the furnace's own interface without needing a Worktable III. This was clarified by the community on Steam after several players reported a perceived circular dependency.

2525

2626 Solid-State Battery is crafted at the Energy Converter station using 1 Radiant Crystal, 2 Tin Ingot, and 1 Iron Sheet. The Energy Converter itself is built at Worktable II and requires 4 Alloy, 3 Magnet, 2 Starflare Core, 3 Gear, and 2 Prism. If you previously gave your Energy Converter to Delphin during an earlier quest, you will need to craft a replacement.

5252 Tips

5353

5454 Craft the Waverider before doing deep runs into the Moonlit Forest. Its hover ability makes navigating the dungeon floors significantly easier, and it is the fastest of the three forest-compatible options.If you previously discarded your Skateboard, craft another one (3 Copper Ingot + 3 Softwood Plank at Worktable I) before starting the Waverider recipe.Collect extra Uncommon Ore Chunks while exploring the Moonlit Forest for other quests. The 16 Spirit Cube Fragments needed for the recipe take a fair number of chunks to process at the Ore Analyzer.The Waverider's elevation hover is especially useful for reaching hidden treasure chests on elevated platforms within the forest dungeon.You can upgrade Furnace II to Furnace III directly through the furnace interface. You do not need a Worktable III first.
