Materials: refined silk, ironwood struts, imbued ropes
Weight impact: minimal—great for tight skiffs or sloops

Craft at Gwenith docks; keep spare materials since upgrades are permanent once placed.

When to Use Gwenith Glide

Pick Gwenith Glide when you need modest speed across mixed winds or have limited deck space. It’s a stepping stone before full Wind Catcher.

Use Cases

Short contract loops where Wind Catcher is overkill.
Salvage detours that require quick repositioning.
Barracuda practice runs on smaller ships.

Placement Tips

Lock helm, Extractor, and Salvaging Hook first. The Gwenith Glide can sit near the bow, but leave a walkway so you stay on the helm.

Keep the Glide away from the two-tile helm bubble.
Balance weight by placing storage opposite the Glide.
Use ghost placement to confirm it won’t block future facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

When to pick Gwenith Glide instead of Wind Catcher?

When deck space is tight or winds shift frequently. Glide offers modest speed without big layout changes.

Does weight matter?

Yes. Keep cargo and decorative weight balanced so the Glide’s boost stays noticeable.

Will it conflict with Extractor or Hook?

No if you plan ahead. Place helm + Extractor first, then slot the Glide away from the two-tile walkway.

Is it useful for Barracuda practice?

Yes—smoother acceleration helps chase segments on smaller ships.

Can I combine Gwenith Glide and Wind Catcher?

Advanced layouts sometimes stack them, but ensure both placements leave the helm accessible.
