Is there a way to slow flight speed?

Hi there,

I have recently bought Master Riding but I believe I’ve made a mistake. It is too fast to immerse myself in leveling through Pandaria as I was before with Expert Riding.

I was just hoping to speed my flight up a tad bit more but 310% is way too fast. Maybe a 30 to 50% decrease toggle option would be a good addition if it’s not already available

Thanks Blizzard, enjoying playing through the storylines!

Only way I know to decelerate flight speed is to get zapped from those flying BfA worms

I sometimes wish there was a voluntary debuff we could activate that would temporarily slow our flight speed back down. It’s very tricky sometimes to land on a narrow branch for a treasure box or what have you at the fastest flying speed.

Agreed!

Not sure there is any downsides to adding an option like this either. Just a simple addition to the General Spell book for everyone or something like that

As nice as mount speed scaling is and the ability for any flying mount to be a fast one, I sometimes miss being able to mount up on a slower one and go at a slower pace. Ever since they introduced scaling, I’m not sure if there’s a way to purposely go slower.

Did all flying mounts get upgraded to the 310% speed? They use to be slow, fast, faster and fastest speed.

Yes, stop pressing W.

What’s next? Telling night elf players to stop pressing space bar?

Yeah,don’t upgarde flight. You’ll go real sloooooowwww…

I know for land mounts, the heirloom mount is locked at the slow land mount speed 60%, regardless of your skill.

Oh yeah Thanks I forgot about that one

And here I want a faster mount. 1000% speed would be great or better yet just let me teleport anywhere I want like ff14

It’s not a solution for other classes, but as a Monk, you have an ability you can get that allows you to fly slowly. It’s called Zen Flight. You can buy it at the Monk Class Hall (Either the one in Kun-Lai Summit or the one on the Wandering Isle).

it’s easier than you think. just do not mount up at all. you will be fully immersed by walking around the countryside smelling the flowers and killing the sheep.

In Pandaria I always feel like I’m way too slow. :sob:

I feel like making my character crack a whip in the air and exciting my mount to rush through the skies faster, lol — Super keen for Dragon Riding due to the speeds you can optionally reach!! :grin: (In some cases you can reach up to 620%) :partying_face:

I’ve never thought about slower flying; then again this Dracthyr flying seems to address this as you essentially glide up or down. Be nice if we had a throttle, I suppose

Do you know how you can hit the slash key on the number pad to switch from running to walking when on the ground? Maybe, they could have that slow you down while you’re flying, too, as it could easily be toggled on and off.

It works on flying mounts on the ground, but not in the air. It should just be simple to add it to flight.

Yes there is, the trick is to go higher and then you can see the area go slower, the higher you are, the slower the land seems to move.
Enjoy!
