Flying Mounts are truly one of the best parts of the upcoming Destiny of Velious expansion.
Level 86+ Adventurers can travel to the Goahmari Camp and help a tiny enclave of goat people (no relation to the Gruegach of course). They need your assistance and training to defend against the Order of Rime’s incursions into their territory and they will reward you with no less than a flying gryffon hatchling. Once you have invested a few days training your dragon gryphon, you’ll be soaring across the skies in new and old locales. You are offered a choice of blue, gold, and grey gryphons when completing the quest.
Some areas of Norrath are a natural fit for flying. The Kingdom of Sky, Kunark, Lavastorm, Commonlands, Greater Faydark, and the Enchanted Lands all make great places to stretch your gryphon’s wings. Flight in Everfrost, Thundering Steppes, Lesser Faydark, Moors of Ykesha, and Nektulos Forest are a bit more claustrophobic due to design limitations when those zones were built (it’s planned to eventually add the artwork necessary to some of those zones to allow more freedom). We did not get a chance to try out Antonica.
Tradeskillers will also have an avenue at level 86+ to do their own variation on the flying mount quest (with a different appearance), and Freebloods have a quest unique to them which grants the Swarm of Bats ability to fly.
We are thrilled to be able to share with you some screen shots of flight in Destiny of Velious.
Really thats the best they could come up with …looks terrible
Wow, those are a bunch of nice screenshots! I’m glad I only took tradeskills-related ones!
I’ll be linking to your site heavily I think 😉
