Aloftfeatures a vast world where you have to pilot your own island as you explore the endless sea of skies. To make sure your Home Island can fly straight to its destination, you’ll have to craft good quality sailing equipment, but it’s also important to know where you’re headed.

As each island is a little different from the last, it’s crucial to check what an island holds before you decide to land on it. And the best way to do it is with a Spyglass. The Spyglass is a utility item that allows you to see distant objects and can help you scout islands before you make your landing.
