Sounds familiar ^^° I accidentally played a good portion of the game without the Paraglider as I wanted to explore stuff before starting the main quest. Involuntary challenge run, I guess…
Wait till you find the crystal refinery at lookout landing.
That’s the one I was gutted by. 100 hours in, eating zonai balls and strapping batteries to every build I discovered you can just extend your recharging battery.
Yeah that was me. I found the one at look out landing and THEN I remembered there was one at the beginning and I could have been updating my battery this whole time.
Building devices is a lot more fun when they don’t run out of batteries that fast anymore.
The what now? °° I mean, I know there is one in the starter sky island, but I haven’t found one on the surface yet… dang it, I need to pay more attention, lol.
If it helps I found it after adventuring around the town infront of Hyrule castle and running back to Lookout Landing. It’s outside of the main wall of the garrison.
