Wings of Companionship: Soaring into Teyvat with Style (The OG Way)
Hey, Travelers! Let’s discuss your OG status in Genshin Impact. Today, we focus on the Wings of Companionship. This wind glider says, “I was here since day one!” In a sea of fancy glider skins, this one has real clout. It’s the vintage band tee of your Genshin wardrobe, something unique.
So, what are the Wings of Companionship? In the early days of Genshin Impact, the game was fresh. Paimon’s jokes still seemed funny. miHoYo decided to gift every player a little present to celebrate the launch. That gift was the Wings of Companionship.
The Rarity Factor: Were You There?
Unlike gliders gained from the Frostbearing Tree or city reputation, the Wings of Companionship were simply given. No quests or conditions. Just a “thank you for playing” sent to your in-game mailbox. This makes them a collector’s item, a badge for those who joined Teyvat early.
Now, consider the cool gliders available. We enjoy Sumeru’s leafy designs, Monstadt’s classic vibes, and event-exclusive skins that shout VIP. However, the Wings of Companionship stand apart. They mark a significant moment in Genshin history—the very start.
Claiming Your Piece of History (If You Were There)
Were you there at launch? If so, you might be asking, “How did I get those wings?” Don’t worry. Your memory isn’t that bad. These wings arrived in your in-game mail. Among Paimon’s letters and NPC messages, there was a special note. It contained your Wings of Companionship.
No grand quests here. Just a kind gesture from the developers. A virtual “welcome” gift, if you will. Open your mail, claim the attachment, and BAM! You have an instant glider skin. Equip it to show off your early adopter status.
Equipping the Wings: Strut Your Stuff in Style
You got the Wings of Companionship. Great! What now? You cannot just equip them directly from your bag. You need to unlock something called the Dressing Room.
The Dressing Room sounds fancy. In truth, it’s just the character customization menu. You unlock it by playing the game’s main storyline. Keep progressing through the Archon Quests and eventually, you can change your glider’s appearance. It’s a necessary step.
After unlocking the Dressing Room, equipping your Wings is straightforward:
- Open the Character Menu. This is where you check stats and equip artifacts.
- Choose a character to wear the wings. (Pro tip: they look good on almost everyone).
- Go to the “Outfit” tab. It’s close to “Artifacts” and “Weapons.”
- See that “Wind Glider” option? Click it.
- Select the Wings of Companionship from your collection.
- Press “Equip,” and you’re ready to show off your style.
Easy, right? Even Paimon could figure it out (with some guidance). Now you’re gliding with a glider that few can still obtain. Bragging rights: unlocked.
Act Fast (If You Still Can): The Mailbox Time Crunch
A quick announcement. If you claimed the Wings of Companionship mail but didn’t accept the wings, beware. Genshin Impact’s in-game mail isn’t permanent. Those messages will expire.
The mail with Wings of Companionship had a 30-day expiration timer. If you left it in your inbox for months, it’s likely gone. Poof! It disappeared into the digital ether. Take this as a lesson about digital rewards and claiming free stuff quickly.
If you are a new player starting now, sorry, but you missed out on the Wings of Companionship. They were a one-time gift and can’t be obtained now. Don’t worry too much. Teyvat has many amazing gliders. Just keep an eye on your in-game mail; miHoYo may surprise you again.
More Than Just Wings: A Symbol of Beginnings
Ultimately, the Wings of Companionship symbolize more than just looks. They represent the early days of Genshin Impact. They remind players of the shared experience exploring Teyvat for the first time. They nod to those who joined from the beginning. Although they won’t help you glide faster, they do add vintage flair to your adventures. If you have them, wear them with pride. Let everyone know you were part of the Genshin launch crew. Welcome aboard, and happy gliding, Traveler!
