In-game text

I wonder how Icarus is doing with the flying balloon... Maybe I should go check up on him in Kerning City. Icarus's flying balloon didn't work out, but he still dreams of flight. This time he's directing me to Wing the Fairy in Ellinia - hoping magical assistance can succeed where engineering failed.

Rewards

Liven's take

Icarus + Wing the Fairy's Flying Medicine is the culminating chapter of Icarus's flight arc. His story has spanned three level tiers:

  • L11: I'm Bored (1) - Icarus staring at the sky, wanting entertainment.
  • L31: Flight Experiments - hang glider fails, balloon fails.
  • L46 (this): Icarus turns to magic. Wing the Fairy assists. The Flying Medicine works.

The 3-quest arc

  1. 10319 - In search of Wing the Fairy (Icarus). Icarus explains: engineering failed, magic is next. He asks you to find Wing the Fairy in Ellinia.
  2. 10320 - The Ingredients for the Flying Medicine (Wing). Wing REALLY doesn't like people. As a whole. The quest text: "How did he and Icarus even become friends?" Rewards 25 Blue Potions + ingredient gathering.
  3. 10321 - Delivering the Flying Medicine (Wing). The Medicine is ready. Deliver to Icarus. Rewards RANDOM Icarus Cape.

The Wing / Icarus friendship mystery

The datamine EXPLICITLY calls out that Wing hates people. So how are Wing and Icarus friends? Classic World writers plant this as a lore mystery. Possible interpretations:

  • Icarus's persistence: Wing respects obsession. Icarus's flight dream never wavers, and that consistency might be the only human trait Wing values.
  • Ancient connection: Icarus might have done Wing a favor years ago (before your quest arc). Off-screen backstory.
  • Fairy magic curiosity: Icarus's flight obsession aligns with fairy aesthetics (fairies fly naturally). Wing might see Icarus as "human trying to become fairy-like" and find that compelling.

The game leaves it ambiguous, which is the correct narrative choice.

The 3 Icarus Capes

Green Icarus Cape1102001Green
Yellow Icarus Cape1102002Yellow
Blue Icarus Cape1102003Blue

Random roll gives you one of three. Cosmetic color variance - stat profiles are likely identical (pending live verification of individual stats). If you want a specific color, expect Free Market trading with other players who rolled differently.

Cape slot economy

At L46, this Icarus Cape upgrade path is:

  • L25: Old Raggedy Cape (Jane Doe reward)
  • L46: Icarus Cape (this chain)
  • L60+: various Ossyria capes (pending future documentation)
