- 12 knotroot rods
- 15 marble slabs
The glider blueprint will turn up in your collection once you build your first Rare crafting bench.

Crafting fabric of any kind is a bit of a process. You need a spinning wheel to process raw materials into thread and a loom to transform that thread into fabric.
You need these to build a spinning wheel:
- Eight wooden planks
- Five wooden rods
- Five wood
- Five wolf claws
And this is what you need for a loom:
- Nine flexwood
- Eight flexwood rod
- Six sand claw
Wool comes from interacting nicely with sheep, and you need five wool thread for one piece of wool fabric. You can get silk from defeating spiders that roam the grasslands, and it works the same as wool thread. One piece of silk fabric takes five pieces of silk thread.
