Aloft presents a vast universe where you guide your own island through the boundless skies. To ensure your Home Island stays on course, it’s essential to create high-quality sailing gear. Additionally, having a clear destination in mind is crucial.
Since every island has its unique characteristics, it’s important to assess what each one offers before making your landing. The best tool for this task is the Spyglass, which lets you view distant objects and scout islands beforehand.
How to Craft a Spyglass in Aloft
To create a Spyglass, you first need to set up a workbench. This requires at least five pieces of wood in your inventory. If you already have your workbench ready, gather the following materials to craft the Spyglass.

Materials Needed |
How to Gather |
1x Wood |
You can gather wood by collecting branches from trees or chopping down trees with an axe. |
1x Leaf |
While chopping trees, you can also collect leaves along with wood. |
1x Rope |
Create rope at a workbench using 2x Mykter Fibre, which can be obtained from corrupted mushroom enemies or by defeating larger tentacled mushrooms on corrupted islands. |
2x Windstone Crystal |
Find Windstone Crystal inside caves. These glowing blue stones are hard to miss, and you can sometimes find them scattered outside. Use a pickaxe to mine them. |
Once you’ve gathered all the necessary items, head to the workbench and select each material to craft the Spyglass. After you create it, make sure to equip the Spyglass in one of your equipment slots to use it effectively. You can then peer through the Spyglass to spot distant objects.
The Spyglass also helps you gather extra information about islands, such as whether they contain unexplored caves or if they are corrupted.
