From the internet (various sights): Over the course of history, balloon envelopes have been made of paper, rubber, fabric, and various plastics – I decided to use animal skins as the ultimate old age fabric.
Envelopes often have a crown ring at their very top. This is a hoop of smooth metal, usually aluminum. – that’s what the aluminum bars are for.

From the internet (various sights): Baskets may also be made of aluminum, especially a collapsible aluminum frame with a fabric skin, to reduce weight or increase portability.

1 envelope, 1 hot air balloon basket, 1 hot air balloon burner, 20 ropes

Explenation of the Modifiers:
With the 35 speed level requirement using this item will enable 15 seconds timers everywhere. The purpose of this item as i see it is fast movements between places AND NOT a method to train speed. Thats why you get only half speed exp while equiping it, and also the mana regen with this item is only 1 mana per 5 minutes. It reduces the weight one can carry for obvious reasons. Since the movement with hot air balloons is influenced by wind, there is a chance to arrive in a wrong destination.
