Flying Mount Guide
Flying Mount Guide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the planet of Draenor was ripped apart, it caused many
areas to become isolated and unreachable by any means other than
from the air. Therefore, flying mounts are available in the
Outlands for level 70 characters in order to reach these
unreachable places.
Need for Flying Mounts
Flying mounts enable the rider to reach areas of the Outlands
that are impossible to reach by normal land means. Certain
instances require a flying mount to reach them.
Every zone in the Outlands has an area unreachable except by
flying mount. Some instances are not reachable except by flying
mount, and others have wings that can only be accessed by using
a flying mount to get there.
How to Get One
The friendly faction vendors that sell flying mounts are located
in Shadowmoon Valley. The Horde can find their vendor in the
settlement of Shadowmoon Village. It's in the Northwestern part
of Shadowmoon Valley. Likewise, the Alliance vendor is in the
Wildhammer Stronghold that lies in the Southwestern portion of
Shadowmoon Valley. According to the World of Warcraft website, a
special flying mount, the Swift Nether Drake, is available
through the arena.
The normal flying mount increases your land and flight speed by
60%; the epic increases your land speed by 100% and your flight
speed by 280%.
The Swift Nether Drake is the fastest of the flying mounts, as
it increases flight speed by 310% (land speed of 100%). It is
available to both Alliance and Horde.
The normal Horde Windriders come in three colors: tawny, blue
and green. The normal Alliance gryphons come in the colors ebon,
golden and snowy.
The swift mounts come in four different colors. For the
Alliance, there are swift blue, green, purple and red gryphons.
For the Horde, there are swift red, green, yellow and purple
windriders.
Cost
A normal flying mount costs 100 gold. It requires level 70 and
and an expert riding skill of 225 to ride. The expert riding
skill costs 800 gold and requires that you already have a riding
skill of 150 to learn.
An epic flying mounts costs 200 gold. It requires level 70 and
an artisan riding skill of 300 to ride. The artisan riding skill
costs 5000 gold and requires that you already have a riding
skill of 225 to learn.

Swift Purple Windrider
Swift Red Gryphon
Movement
According to the WoW Netherdrake Information Page, the movement
on a flying mount is similar to swimming. You have complete
freedom to go in any direction. In order to lift off, you simply
begin running and then jump. This will cause your mount to fly
low. Another way to get started is to run off a cliff. This
causes your mount to reflexively open its wings and begin to
fly.
So, as you are grinding your way through levels, make sure you
save back a few hundred gold, because a flying mount is going to
be important to fully experience all that level 70 has to offer.
