One thing you may have noticed is that your character will glide in Aion if you jump down slopes. This is pretty useful since you wouldn’t want to die from a fall. What you may not have known is that Aion also has a gliding system. According to Aion, there are “thermodynamics” in the game which allows a player to take advantage of gliding, so that they aren’t limited to their flight time.

For this Aion Basics, we’re going to cover how to glide.

How To Glide In Aion

Gliding in Aion is very much like walking, except in…the air. You use the same WASD controls, along with mouse look to move your character and camera. The first thing you’ll want to do is to get some height. Press either ‘Page Up’ or a hotbar button to begin flying, and get some air.

Once you’re in the air, press and hold the ‘Space’ bar for a second or two, and you’ll enter gliding mode. The ‘Space’ bar also ends your gliding.

Gliding uses your flight bar at a much slower rate, if at all. The benefits of gliding is being able to go very far distances without having to stop and go using regular flying.

To go higher while gliding in Aion, you press the R key. This allows you to take advantage of Aion’s thermodynamics, which lifts you higher into the air.

To go lower while gliding, you press the F key.

Using W and S while gliding is a bit like regular movement, except they determine your speed. The W key will speed up your gliding, while the S key slows you down.

You can’t glide forever, and will eventually begin to get lower to the ground, but there’s a little trick. Right before you hit the ground, press the S key, and it will bounce you back into the air a bit.

Because Aion has a thermodynamics system, sometimes gliding isn’t as proficient as a previous attempt. Sometimes you may hit a draft while other times you may hit a great pocket of air.

The main thing is to practice, practice, practice, and soon you’ll be able to cover great distances with no problem.

Hope this helps!
