Guide:Crafting Frostspark Boots
The Frostspark Boots are a highly useful accessory for movement. It allows faster ground speed, flight, and mobility on ice. The Frostspark Boots can be acquired in pre-Hardmode and can be combined with the Lava Waders, on Desktop, Console, and Mobile, to create the Terraspark Boots.

To craft the Frostspark Boots, you will need the following materials:
- Rocket Boots
- Hermes Boots or Flurry Boots or Sailfish Boots(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or Dunerider Boots(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
- Aglet
- Anklet of the Wind
- Ice Skates

Step 1: Spectre Boots
Running boots
There are four types of base level running boots that exist which increase the player's movement speed by a very high margin, allowing them to sprint. All four of these boots have the same effect (except for the Dunerider Boots, which grant even more speed on sand) and can be used interchangeably in crafting.
Hermes Boots
The Hermes Boots are likely the first variety of sprinting boots that the player will encounter, and are very easy to discover early on. They can be found in Gold Chests in underground cabins which generate in most biomes in the Underground and Cavern layers.
Flurry Boots
Flurry Boots are also very easy to encounter in the early game generating within Frozen Chests, acting as an Ice biome counterpart to Hermes Boots. Since the Ice biome often spreads underneath the spawn point even if the player does not spawn directly within the Snow biome, Flurry Boots are highly likely to be encountered if the player tunnels down deep enough near spawn.
They can also be fished up in Frozen Crates and Boreal Crates in hardmode.
Sailfish Boots
The Sailfish Boots(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) are obtained from opening Wooden Crates and Iron Crates found via fishing, and are semi-common rewards from opening them, with a 2.5% chance of being received from the former and a 5% chance of being received from the latter. The Wooden Crate is the most common Crate found via fishing, with the Iron Crate being second-most common.
Dunerider Boots
Dunerider Boots(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) can be found in the Underground Desert, specifically in chests located in Underground Desert Cabins. This biome is extremely dangerous to new players, so you'll probably be best off avoiding this one. You can also fish them up in Oasis Crates and Mirage Crates.
Rocket Boots
After defeating a Goblin Army and rescuing the Goblin Tinkerer, the Rocket Boots can be purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for a base price of 5 GC.
Crafting the Spectre Boots
The Rocket Boots can be combined with one of any of the base level running boots at a Tinkerer's Workshop to yield the Spectre Boots, combining the effects of its two components.
Step 2: Lightning Boots
Aglet
Aglets are quite common accessories that are frequently found in Surface wooden Chests. They can also be found by opening Wooden Crates, which are obtained from fishing, with a 1/100 (1%) chance. Another way to obtain them is from the Skeleton Merchant during a New Moon for 250.
Anklet of the Wind
The Anklet of the Wind can be found in Ivy Chests which generate within jungle shrines in the Underground Jungle. They can also be found by opening Jungle Crates, with a 19/100 (19%) chance.
Crafting the Lightning Boots
These two accessories can be combined with the Spectre Boots at a Tinkerer's Workshop, yielding the Lightning Boots.
Step 3: Frostspark Boots
Ice Skates
Ice Skates can, just like the Flurry Boots, be found in Frozen Chests. If one cannot find a pair in their world, they can also fish in the Tundra and try to obtain these from Frozen Crates or Boreal Crates with a 1/6 (16.67%) chance.
Crafting the Frostspark Boots
Combine Ice Skates with the Lightning Boots at a Tinkerer's Workshop to craft the Frostspark Boots.
