Skystrider Glider is a item used to Ride the rare Sundancer.

Sundancer is a rare located in Bastion.

Rewards: Sundancer.

To ride Sundancer you need two buffs.
The first buff is Sunrider's Blessing, just click on the statue to get this buff.

The second buff is from the item Skystrider Glider, you probably can buy this item on Action House.
To craft this item you need Ascended Crafting.

Reagents: 8x Elysian Feathers, 4x Champion's Pelt, 4x Calloused Bone & 2x Nightforged Steel.

/way 60,6, 93,2 Sundancer
/way 60,0, 94,0 Sunrider's Blessing Buff

Can someone tell me how to get Ascended Crafting?

Comment by Dziubla

Getting this is explained in more detail in here

Might take a while.

Comment by crimetape

I assume this won't be available for a while? I really want to get Sundancer

Comment by Heldamon

The mount that you actually get doesn't look as great as the one in the quest

Sundancer

Comment by NXC22

Do not try to solo this - You will have to fight a 589k hp rare, that hits like a truck. :)

Comment by datgrl

If this is incorrect, please clarify.

I read the Kyrian guide on the Path of Ascension. It's not clearly stated so I'm assuming (and I know what that means) that any one, even someone with no crafting professions, can partake in the trials and get this pattern. The pattern doesn't appear to be linked to any crafting professions like Engineering or Tailoring and strictly comes from the boss that's defeated.

Also, is this a one time use item? Or is it learned, like a toy and reusable?

At this time, there are no gliders on the AH. I really hope that someone on my server will do the grind to get this item crafted.

From my horrible experience i can say that when you use the skystrider glider, you have only one try to click/mount him; if you miss clicking /mounting him, the item will disappear and ... that is it...

Comment by Crash0ng

For anyone else as dense as myself; once you use this, it's gone. So don't just randomly jump off thinking "I'll just do a trial run" :(

Comment by Kakakakakam

Thought i would post as the one above has some missleading info and missing some important info

This item is used to get the mount Sundancer.
to craft the item you need to be a Kyrian and upgrade path of ascention to tier 3
it costs: Elysian Feathers x6 Calloused bone x4 Champions pelt x4 and Nightforged steel x2

or you can buy it from the auctionhouse
atm these are selling for around 40k on my server
you can also do this as a group. only 1 needs to do the mounting part (altho only the one on the horse gets the achievement)
and the grouped memebers only have 10% chans on the dropp
you can only do 1 kill per day.

once you have the item head over to the bottom of bastion /way 60,6, 93,2
click the shrine to recieve the buff "sunriders blessing"

then walk over to the edge, mount up and when he passes jump and click the item, then click sunrider as you come close
once on him you need to spam the action button that pops up for around 10 seconds.
note that you take alot of damage while doing this so lower ilvl characters should not do this.

when that is done he will land and after a few seconds you can talk with him to challange him.
he has just about 600k hp and does a heavy amount of damage.
as a tank i could solo him but as a dps its not that easy.

bring him down to 10% hp and he will run back to the starting position.
once that is done you will be rewarded with either 35 anima or the Sundancer mount.

Good luck!

Comment by Swampfox29

So if you are like me and wanted to save your guildies some time/effort, you CANNOT get him down and just wait, he despawns after about 5 minutes so you willl have to recapture him and get him to land.

Don't do what i did and pull him down and then try to get others to tag it after the fact, get a group together prior and then pull him.

Comment by Carriercarry

Dumbass item for sure, it is flying slowly as ^&*!. i wasted @#$%ing 80k gold :)

Comment by Contrive

Did this in party of three, I used the glider and challenged the Sundancer once he landed. Mount dropped for myself but not the other guys in party.
Unsure if I just lucked out or if there is an increased chance for the person that used glider.
Friend in group did do it again with war mode off on the same character and got no anima second time so I assume one chance per day, per toon.

Comment by ChaosElixir

This item is just designed terribly. You have only 1 shot per use, "shot" meaning before you hit the ground again. Unfortunately I clipped the ground right at the edge of the cliff and it caused the buff applied from this item to be removed. Very frustrating to spend 30k just to test it out myself since the vague description doesn't explain anything useful.

Comment by Tachikaze

Just spent 15k to get the mount, challenged Sundancer and noone in my party even got it.

I will literally never fight this ^&*!@#$ again.

Comment by Hopsea

WARNING - Although Skystrider Glider says it has a cooldown on the item it WILL use the item completely once you use it. So if you fail to stick the landing, you'll need a grab another one!

Comment by Hyte

When does skystrider glider get unlocked? it keeps being locked and says "defeat more bosses". i defeated all bosses on the first difficulty. is there a system as to what "enough" bosses is? is it just a number of bosses or do i need to defeat everything on 2nd difficulty?

Comment by fokusrite

The unnecessary cooldown on such items... no words.

Comment by Snowshoes

This is NOT 100% drop as of May 22, 2021. I just got him to 10%, he emoted "Sundancer bows before you.", and he ran off and disappeared, leaving me with one Medallion of Service, and one Reflections on Purity (35 anima).

Comment by Kurathos

Screw the 5 min cooldown

Comment by Belazriel

Annoying cooldown on the item, but when you have flying you can fly out over him, dismount, use item, and then mount him. It's a little easier than trying to gauge where you'll be when using the glider.

Comment by Hefalumpy

They added this to the region-wide auction house changes and now servers that would see it for 50,000 gold can get it for 35 gold! So super glad to be able to get them cheap finally! I wasted a bunch of gold the first time around when I tried on a day servers kept going down randomly and have been afraid to try it again, even for 5k. It probably doesn't feel like it's worth being able to make these at that low of a price, but there are so many of us grateful for the lower prices. I hope the people that can make them keep making them!

Comment by Alixie

The feather works exactly like the goblin glider. Fly a few yards above Sundancer, spam click him and the soothe prompt after mounting.

Comment by projecteulogy

There is nearly a billion things to do and collect in WOW.

I really, REALLY wish Blizzard would stop with the migraine inducing mechanics

Over 700 obtainable mounts
Idk how many pets(and useful ones too)
Thousands of cosmetics
More gold sinks than we can keep count of

At 300g a pop and not a guaranteed(10%-ish) drop on a 1 time use flavor item in OLD content.. I'd rather farm TLPD again for years and still never get him.
