How to Unlock Flying in Shadowlands Patch 9.1 - Unlocked Shortly After Unlocking Korthia's Hub

PTR Posted 2021/04/16 at 1:12 AM by Neryssa

Memories of Sunless Skiesall that would be required to learn Shadowlands flying was to complete the Covenant Campaign in Patch 9.1According to the 9.1 PTR, the last Covenant Campaign questline will unlock at Renown 59.

Due to technical limitations, flying will not work in Oribos and in the In-Between - According to devs at BlizzConline 2021, it would take approximately 30 minutes of auto-flying to get from one zone to another with a normal Flying mount. Once you land in one of the zones, you will be able to fly normally.

You will also not be able to fly in The Maw and Korthia, and this is intended. Luckily, Korthia is a fairly small zone (about the same size as Mechagon) and easily traversable on foot, without a lot of obstacles.

Comment by SpFxAnimatorI believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly awayComment by spid3rs1So that still means it will take almost 2 months to unlock flying....honestly i think i want pathfinder back,i was able to finish that achievement in the 2nd week the patch came out and enjoy my flying,i dont know why they keep blocking this behind some timegated quest just to annoy usComment by RoxomusFeel so bad for the Night fae players to get another serpent model mount after playing all of BFA and getting 7-8 serpent model mounts. The Venthyr mount looks incredibly beautiful and I wish I could play that cov just for that reason but the Aftershock Legendary looks too good for me to not follow through with it.Comment by RedronOkay, instead of be able to fly in a 2-3 weeks after patch start with a pathfinder rep grind, there's at least a 7 weeks timegate. Tnx blizz.Comment by thejaykaySo it's pathfinder but not pathfinder.Comment by UltimateChadI do wish we were able to fly in oribos even if not the in between, itd be fun to be able to fly to the upper level or even just flying in a circle instead of running in a circle.Comment by ktministerOkay, instead of be able to fly in a 2-3 weeks after patch start with a pathfinder rep grind, there's at least a 7 weeks timegate. Tnx blizz.Comment by dabone1337"According to devs at BlizzConline 2021, it would take approximately 30 minutes of auto-flying to get from one zone to another with a normal Flying mount."

And this is still a lie by them since there were many people that managed to get to other zones just by gliding in under 10 minutes.Comment by ZeniteYep! I agree.
This cap system is ridiculous and annoying.
Imagine: you have a week of or vacation and want grind.... now you cannot.
I never see anything like this in a mmorpg.

Instead fix problems in the game they decided to creat more as usual.

They sold the exp unfinished. That’s the only reason for this in my eyes.Comment by mrcodezAssuming a 10 week PTR similar to other patches that contain dungeons & raids in the past this would mean 9.1 launch June 22nd and flying finally unlocking on August 10th. So...flying later this year I guess?Comment by RedronOkay, instead of be able to fly in a 2-3 weeks after patch start with a pathfinder rep grind, there's at least a 7 weeks timegate. Tnx blizz.Comment by AhmaraI'm just glad we get flying and don't really care about how long it takes to unlock it as long as it is possible.
As long as Blizz doesn't get the Idea to unlock flying faster for real money I'm fine with the timegating.Comment by SatanxxLmao, 7 weeks?, i got flying in 3 weeks in 8.2, thanks casuals, you just f us allComment by juressYep! I agree.

Comment by ChaxtonSeven weeks is not bad. Assuming of course that renown is easy to get like it is now. Also, I still hate the Night Fae mount. Sad to see that it wasn't an early April Fools joke.Comment by DabraxusYeah, great... And how is that better than the pathfinder achievement? Not like I ever had a problem with the achievement in the first place.. This new approach is actually worse because things are time gated once again.Comment by Gogeta1990Why am I going from 2 weeks of farming in legion/bfa to 7 weeks hardstop timegating?

I don't know how fast the average player got flying when it was rep-based, but if it was faster than 7 weeks,
this renown 59 and 7 weeks is objectively worse than what we had before.Comment by lvaynereading through all these hate comments here makes me wonder: What exactly is it that makes your so hateful because you can't fly immediately? Not once have i missed flying because pretty much every important location is next to a flightpoint. If riding for less than a minute makes you want to murder someone you should really consider your life choices at this point.Comment by PleegWat"According to devs at BlizzConline 2021, it would take approximately 30 minutes of auto-flying to get from one zone to another with a normal Flying mount."
