Improving Flight

Overview

You may find that the initial 60 seconds of flight time isn’t
enough when you are trying to extract Aether from the sky or engage in flight combat.
However, like any being learning to fly, it will take some time to hone your skills and
it’s almost inevitable that you will fall at some point.

This section will cover the different ways to increase your flight time and
speed.

Flight Skills and Rewards – Abyss Preparation

You will acquire your first Quest with flight rewards at level 10. The reward will
be a passive flight skill, dependent on your race/class, which will
boost your flight attributes.

At level 25 you will automatically receive the ’Abyss Entry
Quest’ series. Finishing all of the series will allow you access to
the Abyss and two of the four Quests offer flight related rewards.

These Quests will be rather challenging and will test your skills. The last of the
four in the series is a rather difficult flying test that will also get you famililar
with Flight Rings. Upon success, you will receive a flight skill that, amongst other
things, will boost your flight speed by 33%.

Flight Armor and Accessories

The best way to increase your flight time is through armor and accessories that
possess flight attributes. Not all armor pieces can have flight attributes, such as
boots, but if you obtain every armor piece that can contain flight attributes, you can
easily boost your base flight time (before potions, scrolls, food) to several
minutes.

Wing Tuners

At Level 29 you will automatically receive a Quest that will lead you to a Wing
Tuner where you can purchase different Wing Feathers that will boost your flight
time.

Elyos
Quest: Idomeneus’s
Letter

Asmodian Quest:
Huron’s Letter

Wing Feathers are relatively expensive and the lowest level feather is 30. Wing
Feathers change the appearance of your wings and improve your flight time. These items
can be equipped and removed like any other armor or accessory and add +30 or more to
your flight time.
