I was really hoping to find an update about the cost today…
Not surprised that we don’t have one yet, just disappointed in Blizzard.
Roughly 8 months wait to unlock flying(assuming 9.1 end of month/beginning of next) and we have to purchase it AFTER we unlock it?
Pretty sure they’re trying to include the “Grateful Offering” in the cost somehow. 
Since there’s conflicting information I think it best not to pick a side and just wait and see. There will absolutely be a thread (several as per GD custom) if there’s a cost though 
Hopefully it gets cleared up soon.
The wording is pretty straight forward that we have to buy something after we unlock it.
Maybe an intern wrote it up and goofed? 
Either way, the people defending it potentially having a cost and a timegated unlock are absolutely insane.
Saying “but you had to buy it before!” is the worst justification when the only wait was reaching level cap, or close to it.
Buy or unlock, not both!
Those people would defend Blizzard if it so happened that Blizzard said you cannot fly until the next expansion is released.
They’re your good ol’ head in sand people.
I agree, there’s no misunderstanding the language at all
This consumable item allows all characters on your account to purchase the Riding Skill needed to fly within the four main Shadowlands zones!
Either it is an error or you have to buy something. And I personally don’t want to level, do a campaign, then pay for an item 
I’ll do pathfinder or I’ll pay but not a mix of the two.
If this is the case then as someone said, they worded it very poorly, and in a manner that would cause drama and generate more hate towards them.
It also demonstrates (as someone else mentioned) the growing amount of distrust their customers have in them. Maybe Blizzard needs to change out their communication staff.
Whoa whoa whoa.
We get an item that lets us purchase flying?
Wut…
Purchase… PURCHASE?.. Pathfinder…Purchase… . These do not go together Blizz.
Let us buy it from day 1 or unlock it acct wide with pathfinder… not some crap where pathfinder LETS us purchase it.
Here’s hoping that it a typo or misquote… cause that will go over like a lead balloon…
I would have called it ‘shackling us with a grind’, but that’s just me.
I was hoping for a date; but maybe one is coming soon if they’re posting reminders about the renown requirement.
I find the " you’ll instead earn flying in Shadowlands early" to be quite hilarious. Is “early” the new “soon” for Blizz? It may be coming in 9.1 but it’ll still be close to how long it took to unlock under Pathfinder - 8 months if it releases in July.
Lack of flying early (truly early, not Blizz early) makes me lose interest and just go back to older content.
Yes, players wanted to go back to buying flying at level cap from launch, instead of being timegated by some arbitrary achievement later in the expansion. We didn’t ask to have both the time gating behind an achievement, AND the cost of buying flight on every alt.
You saw the error of your ways I see Blizz but how about… maybe…
Design with flying in mind…
This push back against flying at cap level is getting tiresome. You limit the open world so much with these silly decisions instead of fleshing the world out and incorporating/designing with flying in mind. It’s a fantasy game after all.
They managed to add a gold sink to pathfinder. Well played Gizzard, well played
When a feature is flying…
Yes my bad
Its a little to late hell i know 3 clans all the members left because of shadow poo like 1800 members
BlizZard bent the knee at a glacial pace.
I will take it.
Even though I am 30 years older now. Unleash the crown jewel of WoW known as flying!
nothing else in this game interests me.
and questing was always something i despised, with a burning hatred.
I think you’re playing the wrong game…
This latest post re flying sounds like it negates the wowhead and wowpedia earlier posts re 9.1 prerequisites for main character and skips for alts for Torghast/Twisting Corridors questline and Peering Darkness questline. Also am I reading it now right that the alts will each just need to finish the covenants introductory questline and unlock the Runecarver to begin instead of the skip idea from earlier posts.
So I take it renown up to 44 isn’t active yet?
