Quit Complaining About Buying Flying

The only way to interpret this is that SL has it’s own riding skill.
That is how they phrased it.
If it was “Unlock flying with this consumable. You will also need Expert or Master riding.” then it would be clear.

“The riding skill needed to fly within the four main Shadowlands zones!” could mean purchase master riding, OR purchase Shadowlands flying OR purchase Bastion, Maldraxxus, Revendreth and Ardenweald flying.

Since we have heard nothing about purchasing so far, let’s hope they just phrased it poorly. But it’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt with past history of shenanigans surrounding flight.

Keep in mind that if flying was locked behind currency in PTR, much fewer people could test. My thought is that PTR had no currency requirement strictly for testing purposes and we’ll be spending gold or anima when it goes live.

Not only do they drag this out for months and months, but now they can’t even word it to make it simpler to ascertain.

Is it only for level 60 alts? I was hoping I’d be able to fly and level up from 50 to 60 utilizing flight.

Yeah, and I think that’s exactly what Humanbeak, Hammy and The Hunter Orc are pointing too. I think it’s just poor verbiage, because the consumable is a riding skill level that currently exists in game.

I agree that the wording could be much clearer, but then again, why they can’t dedicate a CM to actively participate in a blue post for an hour following the post to help answer / clarify…

Tbf, you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt by thinking they can write a coherent blog post.

This is a good point

87

Honor, conquest, and valor cap.

And you have to complete the paragon version of the two flying WQs in Bastion. :scream:

The manastorm duplicator toy made paragon flappy bird much simpler…otherwise it’s near impossible as a tauren.

Is this the side scroller one or the flower one?

91

Sidescroller

92

Oh that one. Yeah I can’t imagine doing it on a larger race. Never thought about trying it with a toy to make one smaller and buy some additional clearance. Clever!

93

Before it was for any toon 50 + in Shadowlands

94

There is a cost. It’s 5000 anima per shadowlands zone. So 20000 anima all up. Purchasable from the same person you go collect your paragon caches

95

I literally have never done that world quest on anything higher than the “I want the easy version today” level.

the max one seems bugged
either have a little amount of time to hit one or hit one and go up twice
also barley hit the spike and you’re out

97

That wouldn’t surprise me.

98

If that’s true I think I’m done with WoW. I don’t play my alts because they can’t fly yet and 5k anima takes forever to get without your covenant being leveled up, which I won’t do on my alts because they can’t fly.

I hope Blizzard goes bankrupt.

So now I not only have to do a questline I also have to pay?

Exactly, some random requirements (pathfinder) or a price, not both.

I didn’t :man_shrugging:
