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.

How To Craft A Spyglass In Aloft
To craft a Spyglass, you’ll first have toset up a workbench, which can be done if you have at least five pieces of wood available in your inventory. If you already have a workbench, you may head over to it and use the following items to craft a Spyglass.
How To Obtain
1x Wood
Wood can be obtained by gathering the branches from the trees, or you can cut down the trees with an axe.

1x Leaf
You can get leaves from the trees alongside wood while chopping them with an axe.
1x Rope
The rope can be crafted at a workbench using 2x Mykter Fibre. Mykter Fibre is dropped by corrupted mushroom enemies and by defeating the larger mushrooms with tentacles on corrupted islands.
2x Windstone Crystal
Windstone Crystal is usually found inside caves. These glowing blue rocks are hard to miss in caves, but you can also find them sometimes alongside other chunks of Windstone out in the open. You’ll have to mine these glowing blue rocks with a pickaxe to collect Windstone Crystals.
Once you have all of these items, you can easily select each one of themat a workbenchto craft the Spyglass. After crafting, you’ll have toequip the Spyglass in one of the equipment slotsto use it. You’ll have to look through the Spyglass to see distant objects.
The Spyglass also allows you to check additional information regarding an island, such as if the island has an unexplored cave or is corrupted.
