Outland before using the scouting map

Outland after using the scouting map

For Outland, using the Scouting Map does not automatically unlock the flight points to Altar of Sha'tar or Sanctum of the Stars in Shadowmoon Valley, as these are Aldor/Scryer settlements and landing on either of these as part of the opposing Outland faction will have NPCs attacking you on sight.

For Broken Isles, using the Scouting Map does not unlock the Flight Pads in Argus (or even Argus itself).

For Kul Tiras and Zandalar, using the Scouting Map does not automatically unlock access to the enemy faction's main continent, which means you still need to complete a portion of the Battle for Azeroth War Campaign to gain access to said continent. The Scouting Map also does not unlock flight paths that would be unlocked during the War Campaign, but will work to unlock all neutral Flight Paths in the enemy's continent (like Tortollan settlements).

Comment by GornondNothing about that you have to have to have the explorer achieves to buy the continents respective mapsComment by GaronjaAt some point I hope Blizzard will explain why these toys cost 10k EACH. Hell, I have payed the 5 million for a Brutosau, but I'd never use it to buy 1 continents worth of FPComment by scopelDo we get any exp for "exploring" this way?Comment by KryzMDo we get any exp for "exploring" this way?Comment by nearlysoberDo we get any exp for "exploring" this way?Comment by TonDawgDaTigerAren't there already scouting maps for Kul Tiras and Zandalar? Will they become toys when the patch launches?Comment by JoshmaulAren't there already scouting maps for Kul Tiras and Zandalar?

If you are actually leveling pre-flying you will get your breadcrumb quest for your chosen zone anyhow, which usually includes a form of transportation to your starting quest hub. From there you are guided further, very little reason (or even sense, they are usually tied behind a sequential chain) in skipping to a later quest hub. And once you hit flying you can head anywhere anyway.

The only exception would be classic and BC zones, and for classic the toy is already available. So mainly they are only worth it if they were available for the current content before flying unlocks, just like the BFA not-toy maps.Comment by couchpotato2013This is a cool thing I tried out on ptr. Definitely gonna buy all of them and use them on all my characters. Nothing more annoying than having unexplored maps with obviously missing flightpoints.

Only wish shadowlands had this too. Missing out on flightpoints on the deeper parts of zones for alts. Of which you know the usual routine of taking the fp to reach the wb while you go to the bathroom or grab a water routine.Comment by MikhailovAt some point I hope Blizzard will explain why these toys cost 10k EACH.

Edit. Also these are not toys...? They look like boa items. Why are you calling them toysComment by couchpotato2013I am not particularly sure what they are for.

Comment by taleFor something that is ostensibly supposed to be a character-friendly enhancement, they are shockingly player-unfriendly. For an All The Things collector it is an unnecessarily pricey addition of multiple items that really could have been consolidated down to just two toys -- one for alliance and one for horde for all legacy flight points. Very disappointing with the implementation path they have chosen here.Comment by taleEdit. Also these are not toys...? They look like boa items. Why are you calling them toys
Comment by rodalphoI've got 9 million gold and I can't imagine paying 10k for any of these when my alts could just fly there themselves.Comment by Vittorino I wouldn't mind if they "converted" my 7th Legion Scouting Map to the new item and saved me 10k though.Comment by LazyduderinoFinally.Comment by glassleo I wouldn't mind if they "converted" my 7th Legion Scouting Map to the new item and saved me 10k though.
