FAQ

How do I deploy the Glider in Loftia?

Jump, then press jump again while airborne. On keyboard the default is Space. You can also open it while falling. Steer with normal movement.

Where do I get Scrambled Coordinates for Ryder?

Players find them while salvaging in the Scrap Quarter during Ryder's quest step. Qloud Games raised their drop chance during that step in Demo Patch #1.

What comes after the Glider?

Cliff's follow-up quests lead to the Dome and the Airtram Station, which takes you to the Hanging Gardens in Early Access.

Evidence status: Quest flow and recipe are reported by player walkthroughs and match Qloud Games’ own patch-note references to Ryder’s quest. Names may differ slightly in your language. Last checked: November 9, 2026.

Why is the Glider important?

The Glider is your first big mobility upgrade and a gate for district travel. In Early Access you can later add a Propeller upgrade to fly higher. The Hanging Gardens add Bounce Shoes, and Gridfall adds rail boots for its air rails. All three are listed on Qloud Games’ Early Access page.

What is the full questline?

Player walkthroughs describe two linked quests from Cliff, the Airtram Operator: Permission to Glide and Certified Flying Loftian.

Step 1: Start with Cliff

Find Cliff in Loftia City. He will not let you travel without a Glider that passes inspection, and he points you to Milo.

Step 2: Milo’s gathering task

Milo asks for raw materials. Players report the request and locations as:

Material	Amount	Where
Metal Scraps	5	Break washing machines in the Scrap Quarter
Scrap Wood	5	Break wooden boxes at the Construction Site
Plant Fiber	5	Tall grass in The Hills
Tires	5	Around the Solar Farm

Step 3: Build and use a Refining Station

Craft a Refining Station at your Project Station (reported: 5 Screws and 3 Scrap Wire), place it with decorating mode, and refine the materials into Metal Plate, Plank, Straw, and Rubber. See crafting and refining for the station basics.

Step 4: Help Ryder

Milo sends you to Ryder at the Adventure Dock. Ryder wants 3 Scrambled Coordinates, which players find while salvaging the Scrap Quarter. Demo Patch #1 clarified where to find them and raised the drop chance during this step. Then complete Ryder’s introductory Adventure.

Finishing that Adventure also matters for your economy. Qloud Games confirmed that Bloom and Scrambled Coordinates from the Daily Goodies Chest unlock only after Ryder’s intro Adventure quest.

Step 5: Learn and craft the Glider

Return to Cliff to begin Certified Flying Loftian and learn the recipe. Players report:

3 Rubber
3 Straw
5 Glass Cullets (break microwaves around the Solar Farm)
5 energy, a full starter Battery

Recharge before you craft. See the energy guide.

Step 6: Pass inspection and travel

Show Cliff the Glider. His follow-up quests are reported as Meet Cliff by the Dome and Meet Cliff at the Airtram Station, which lead toward the Hanging Gardens.

How do you control the Glider?

Jump, then press jump again in mid-air to open it. You can also deploy it while falling. Steer with your normal movement keys or stick. Practise over short gaps first.

What if the quest gets stuck?

Re-talk to the quest NPC after a disconnect. Demo patches fixed several cases where saved quest progress conflicted after reconnecting.
