11Overview22The 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.44How to Get the Waverider66The 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.88Reach the Intermediate Crafter rank by completing earlier Crafter quests from Zerine.Gather the required crafting materials (see the recipe table below). 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.1010Crafting Recipe1212The Waverider is crafted at a Worktable II. Several of its materials require progression into the Moonlit Forest and access to advanced crafting stations.1414MaterialQtySourceSkateboard1Crafted at Worktable I (3 Copper Ingot + 3 Softwood Plank)Spirit Cube II2Crafted at Worktable II from Spirit Cube I + MagnetFlamecore Ingot5Smelted at Furnace III from Flamecore Ore (found in deeper Moonlit Forest regions)Solid-State Battery1Crafted at Energy Converter (1 Radiant Crystal + 2 Tin Ingot + 1 Iron Sheet)1616Sub-Material Chains1717Several Waverider components require their own crafting chains. Planning ahead and stockpiling materials from the Moonlit Forest saves time.1919Spirit 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.2121Flamecore Ingot is Smelted At2323Flamecore 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.2525Solid-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.2727Features and Abilities2929Unlike the Skateboard and the Verdant Breeze rollerblades, the Waverider hovers above the ground rather than rolling along it. This gives it several practical advantages:3131FeatureDetailsHoveringGlides above the ground surface, eliminating bumps and providing a smooth ride across any terrainElevation accessCan hover upward, allowing players to reach higher platforms and ledges within the Moonlit ForestMoonlit Forest compatibleUsable inside the Moonlit Forest alongside the Skateboard and Verdant BreezeParkour compatibleWorks with trick spots and parkour puzzles for grinding rails and following golden lightsNo fuel costOperates indefinitely with no fuel, energy, rental fees, or durability concernsNo stamina drainRiding does not consume staminaHotbar equippablePlaced on the hotbar for quick deployment as a small personal vehicle3333Controls3434ActionKeyboardControllerRide / DismountLeft Mouse ButtonRight TriggerMoveW, A, S, DLeft StickJump / Hover UpSpacebarA / X ButtonCameraMouseRight StickSummon vehicleR (hold to open garage)Hold button to open garage3636Crafter Profession Progression3737The Waverider sits at the third tier of the Crafter profession.

This was fixed in an early patch.5151Tips5353Craft 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.5555Related Articles5757ArticleDescriptionVehiclesComplete vehicle overview and unlock guideSkateboardBase component for the WaveriderProfessionsCrafter questline that unlocks the WaveriderMoonlit ForestDungeon area where the Waverider excelsCraftingWorktable tiers, Furnace upgrades, and other stationsParkour PuzzlesTrick spots compatible with the Waverider
