It disabled one of my racials. The bonus exp from exploration racial. Because it auto explored all zones without any exp. I just wanted the FPs and instead I lost one of my racials and my main way of levelling.
Yeah I would never use that ability, why would I give up exploration exp and it puts it on every character’s bar which I quickly removed. As far as I can see all my new characters have all flightpaths unlocked already.
Hindsight’s 20/20, but with skyriding I don’t think you really need flight paths to get to new areas anyway. I’d just zoom around and probably never even interact with any NPCs lol
Utilizing the toy doesn’t remove your ability to receive XP for discovering new areas, the only thing it does is remove the fog of war on your map, it doesn’t take away the ability to earn XP you receive for arriving in those areas for the first time.
The downside of course is you can’t see where you’ve already explored unless you keep track, but you definitely still receive discoverable XP for the first time. I know because I made the mistake and used it but was still able to accumulate the XP and this was just a few weeks ago.
