True but compared to the last few expansions mount rep grind for flying this is way easier. Even the current covenant catch up I thought was pretty good.
Haven't been here this fast in a while! But thank god its not gonna take as long this time, personally i love running around SL but a flying mount would certainly make areas easier to navigate!
Ive loved using the gliders in REvendreth :) BUt Bastion is just a giant pain in the ass, with hard to see because of the bizarre visual effects and then HOLE SIN THE GROUND YOU DONT SEE COMING

BLIZZARD, THANK YOUUUUUU. I hate requires rep grinds. I don't know why, but I'm like a child when it comes down to someone telling me to do something. "Well now I don't wanna"
idk if it should be as easy as just do a few quests but this is def 10000000% better than it has been for unlocking flying than it has been for a while
All the people asking "is it account bound?", do they even watch the video? Why do you even bother coming here to comment if you don't watch the video and wait for Kelani to say it halfway through it?
Flying unlocks in 3 weeks, exactly like previous expansions timeline wise only change is rep grind which at least helps save time and focus on other things daily rather than grind quests/reps
@@MisterRodje not quite, There is no rep grind to it at all. You simply complete a few side quests and collect Aether currents by exploring the zone. You can take off and fly in a zone in about an hour.
i may be a little low key mad i grinded the campaign on my main and my fiance didn't and yet he will still be able to fly (he's been focused on Classic), BUT i can't complain because pathfinder was a real kick in the teeth and to get rid of the damn eye of the jailer with this too i'm counting my future blessings here.
Sd but true, that you must complete all of your convent copping the 10 chapters before you are allowed to do the third chapter. Hehe, I have not completed my covenant campaign, so I not allowed to get to do the third chapter.
I'd say June at the earliest after hearing the interview with Preach and Ion. As for new raid, get as high ilvl as you can manage . First boss is doable at ilvl 210 in the PTR (that's as far as I've got)
well, it may look like bot farmers but isnt always true. I know plenty people that multi box in a legal way and farm herbs like 30 min or whatever and continue to do other stuff. Now....if you see the same group each time 24/7...that is a bot:)
I wouldn’t say it’s the fastest ever.... we used to just pay gold to fly... that was fast. Rep grinding for flying is the only reason I stopped playing. I never had time to farm rep.
this is why i quit playing because i couldnt fly and they dropped the ball on how long it took to get flying going screw it if it is all redundant and all you do is grind the whole time for nothing too damn boring
Looking forward to farming being easier just for my own personal needs. I'm tired of waiting for the fair to get another five points to my professions.
having trouble getting the last sigil quest line, my renowned is at 50. I'm I missing something. i've finished maw walker, battle if Ardenweald and focusing the eye
Do all of these quests get done in the maw? I am renown lvl 80, and have no idea where to start the flying quests. No one gave me any specific quests, or any campaigns to start?
its taking me 2 days now to try and unlock the last sigil. i dont get any quests from my covenant and nor from the maw. it looks like all my quests are done. which is not. i have 3 chapters done and cant do anything else anymore
so if I start this patch a few months in, does it still take the 3 weeks or will it give them to you as you complete. It gave me the first 2 but I can't find the last sigil quest line yet. is that why
So, I'm thinking about all my 50ish alts who just don't wanna do the story line stuff. If they are going to auto unlock things in the maw like Warrens etc does that mean they will allow Threads of fate characters into the maw now?
Why are you going to resubscribe when you are just gonna unsubscribe 2 months into 9.1? You just want a dopamine hit from the new patch so you can get your fix then quit again, which is really annoying for people who keep playing and are replying on bodies to complete objectives.
@@endofexistence2149 "people who don't play every day of every month of every year for their entire lives annoy me even if it gives them the very chemical we're all desperately chasing. I am incredibly full of myself" That's you. That's what you sound like.
They have never released all patch content at once. It keeps people playing and also stops neckbeards from completing all content on day one and then complaining for the next 4 months that “there is no content I’m bored”
This is really welcoming news. I haven’t played in a few months this makes me pretty excited for patch 9.1 and ready to jump back in!
This.
unless you completed the covenant levels to 40 something you can NOt unlock flying.
True but compared to the last few expansions mount rep grind for flying this is way easier. Even the current covenant catch up I thought was pretty good.

Worked real hard on that in anticipation. Wow. At least we can collect bonuses for the rep, I can always use the gold.
BLIZZARD, THANK YOUUUUUU. I hate requires rep grinds. I don't know why, but I'm like a child when it comes down to someone telling me to do something. "Well now I don't wanna"
Sadly it now requires full covenant campaign completion and Renown lvl 44 to start/complete the (The Last Sigil).
@Zachster Are you sure?
It isn't "faster than it's ever been", it's just faster than everything else post-Mists
Wasn't flying available the minute you hit max level 🤔
@@JrClips27 that's why he said post-mists. After MoP you needed pathfinder, which you usually had to wait 2 patches for.
@@Darkclowd you're right, I misread that last bit lol
Grateful for this well spoken review thank you great sir! 😊
I don't know about yall, but I thoroughly enjoyed running past the horde with my Worgen beast form.
idk if it should be as easy as just do a few quests but this is def 10000000% better than it has been for unlocking flying than it has been for a while

Grr so angry grrrr
I hate questing without flying lmao 🤣
That means there is no reason for me to come back prior to 9.1. Thank goodness. I'm enjoying the break.
What I'm looking forward to is starting on the "Deathbringer" world pvp meta, I've been holding back until the flying unlock for that one.
Mr. Kelani always a bringer of good news!
When is Blizz gonna give me the mining mount I want. Sky Golem is awesome for herb farming, what about a mount to farm ore?
A mechanical drill mount would be awesome.
Imma just wait till 9.2 where they make it even easier!
With as long as we’ve had to wait for 9.1 I’m not surprised at all they gave us flying so soon.
Flying unlocks in 3 weeks, exactly like previous expansions timeline wise only change is rep grind which at least helps save time and focus on other things daily rather than grind quests/reps
Id like to see extra reagent storage tabs even if its 10k per tab and being able to skip the maw introductory quest.
Very cool. Great vid. Thank you!
They should honestly just take the FFXIV approach, Complete a few side quests in the zone and explore it.
So pathfinder
@@MisterRodje not quite, There is no rep grind to it at all. You simply complete a few side quests and collect Aether currents by exploring the zone. You can take off and fly in a zone in about an hour.
@@AshleyVsTheWorld neat
Hell nah that shit was boring as hell, this one is way better
Lol yeah but in ff14 once you finish a zone you don’t really go back except for like hunts or party maps
I would probably care more about this if it wasn't for 9.1 still being 4 months way lol
It’ll be out in a month and a half tops. Beginning of June.
Would you like extra extra bugs with that? Or just the regular 'players do beta testing for us'?
4 months?! Ptr isn’t usually up that long till release is it?
@@bakvaz end of July, beginning of August. Their timings where already fucked up for 9.0.3.
@@bakvaz To coincide with TBC release? Not likely.
Great stuff. Thx 4 sharing.

TY again for a great video!
Not coming back till the mighty caravan brutosaur is back in bfa..
I'm very happy about this change. I hated the rep grinds.
In a real-time aspect it is just as long as the pathfinder took in all reality
Kind of.. But it's more straight forward and overall feels less grindy
You need level 44 in your covenant to get flying. Which is a time sync.
Are we able to unlock the third chapter now in October 2021? Or do we still have to wait weeks after we complete each chapter?
Sd but true, that you must complete all of your convent copping the 10 chapters before you are allowed to do the third chapter. Hehe, I have not completed my covenant campaign, so I not allowed to get to do the third chapter.
So in Shadowlands it's going to be harder to unlock the previous expansion's flying than it is the current one's. Brilliant.
What a *fly* video yo
Bruh
What could have been a 2 minute video stretched on by endless chatter!
Not surprised given th verticality involved in many zones
Can we fly between zones with our own mounts? Like from Ardenweald to Bastion directly or do we have to take a portal or something to get there?
you can fly in my heart :O
“Faster than its ever been!” 6 months after launch
Video starts at 0:56
Do I have to complete my covenant campaign before I can fly?
Druid herbing “alt”...*laughs in Boomy main*
Same
same i always had mount form as a bear main
Maybe in 9.2 flying will be available for those non flying zones.
When can we expect 9.1? sometime next month? what ilvl should i aim for before new raid?
I'd say June at the earliest after hearing the interview with Preach and Ion.
As for new raid, get as high ilvl as you can manage .
First boss is doable at ilvl 210 in the PTR (that's as far as I've got)
On the farming bit. It's going to a nightmare. So may bot farmers right now in the EU. I can not play 15 min without seeing a group of them.
well, it may look like bot farmers but isnt always true.
I know plenty people that multi box in a legal way and farm herbs like 30 min or whatever and continue to do other stuff.
Now....if you see the same group each time 24/7...that is a bot:)
I wouldn’t say it’s the fastest ever.... we used to just pay gold to fly... that was fast. Rep grinding for flying is the only reason I stopped playing. I never had time to farm rep.
i have done 3 chapters but i still cant fly, what is wrong??
What do you have to do to get access to that story line? I have one character that has completed its covenant story and has renown 40. Is that enough?
this is why i quit playing because i couldnt fly and they dropped the ball on how long it took to get flying going screw it if it is all redundant and all you do is grind the whole time for nothing too damn boring
Looking forward to farming being easier just for my own personal needs. I'm tired of waiting for the fair to get another five points to my professions.
Well that's fast last I read patch notes about this was 7 weeks due to renown xD
thank you blizz, im behind in shadowlands, no rep great.
So once done the story chapter once to unlock Korthia (?) Can this be skipped for ALTs? Likewise in 9.1 - can you skip maw starter zone on ALTs?
having trouble getting the last sigil quest line, my renowned is at 50. I'm I missing something. i've finished maw walker, battle if Ardenweald and focusing the eye
Grinding is the worst. I wish we had fly before
Thanks❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank god there is no reputation grind for flying. I hate grinding reputations. I still havent unlocked flying in BFA cause I just cant be bothered!
Do all of these quests get done in the maw? I am renown lvl 80, and have no idea where to start the flying quests. No one gave me any specific quests, or any campaigns to start?
I don't even go to the Maw unless I'm going to Torghast. And I haven't done even that in weeks because of how pointless it feels currently.
I hate, hate HATE the Maw. Can't be in there 5 minutes without getting hunted. It's stupid.
Wait, somebody farms the Maw? There is literally nothing valuable there
@@xviii5780 you can farm stygia for making items socketable
@@laffinbuda there’s something you can buy from Verlani to keep from being hunted. Might require a certain amount of rep with her though.
Get flying early this expansion... are we since patch is a couple months late?
How did you get flying in the PTR i've been waiting for it to come out
its taking me 2 days now to try and unlock the last sigil. i dont get any quests from my covenant and nor from the maw. it looks like all my quests are done. which is not. i have 3 chapters done and cant do anything else anymore
I'm not seeing this quest chain/line available as of right now...6/4/21
Guessing can't get an early start on this?
If they want to do these flying quests and not unlocking it with gold they should do something like this, the rep grind is pretty bs
You're missing something in your video. I have those 3 achievements and I can't see the quest giver to start the questline to unlock flying
I think it was my covenant quest line not being completed
Can't wait to fly around on my Time Lost Proto Drake... My fav :) The Maw all be a bit better too with mounts allowed there.
What rep do you need to start the new chain though? Since this is PTR hope it doesn't change
How long roughly would completing all these chapters take for a returning player? Roughly two hours like you mention ?
I also wonder, just bought shadowlands after skipping BfA, and started rushing campaing.. right now im at maldraxxus.
Good, I'm sick of grinding reputations to unlock an ability I already had for a limited time until a new expansion.
love it!
Fastest it's ever been:
expansion was released November, it's April, still not flying. Yep, fast.
didn't you need like 40 renown for that flight campaign?
of all the ones ive seen no one dares to say "you got tro be level 60 " to get the quest like lol
Hey good looking do you know how to unlock chapter 3 I'm a returning player.
What about covenant chapters 1 - 9 right now and renown? Do you need to finish those?
No i dont think so. All you need is that achievement 😊
He said no, not required
Other known as bolt to the end so you unlock flying
I always wondered how the in between would work
they probably made flying not work in oribos bc there would be a bunch of bugs for those trying to get in and out lol
As long as i have to farm reps its impossible for me because i dont have time for that shit.
its about dang time
thanks!
Do I need to complete the old campaign in addition to this?
you actually have to complete cov campaign to start flying quest
I'm hoping for the 2 week method. Has there been an update on live release date of 9.1?
so if I start this patch a few months in, does it still take the 3 weeks or will it give them to you as you complete. It gave me the first 2 but I can't find the last sigil quest line yet. is that why
We get flying in the zones that won’t matter anymore, big whoop
Wait no rep grinds??? I’m shocked but def not complaining!
So when does 9.1 drop
So, I'm thinking about all my 50ish alts who just don't wanna do the story line stuff. If they are going to auto unlock things in the maw like Warrens etc does that mean they will allow Threads of fate characters into the maw now?
ok so chains of domination did not exist now so its when patch 9.1 comes you can do this quest line :-( ok
Do you not need a specific renown level to unlock flying then?
So...no dungeon required? Are these scenarios that require groups?
So I need to wait at least 3weeks AFTER 9.1 before resubscribing...or just not till 9.9
Why are you going to resubscribe when you are just gonna unsubscribe 2 months into 9.1? You just want a dopamine hit from the new patch so you can get your fix then quit again, which is really annoying for people who keep playing and are replying on bodies to complete objectives.

so does this just boil down to do story quests? how/where do I start them.
I haven't play this expansion but I figure it will be easy
What’s the deal with flying between zones. Do you still have to use an oribos mount to go from Rev to Mal
You will need to use a flight path to get between zones
I realy hope 2 weeks we can fly
Can you fly with your AOTC dragon soul shape form or the moth form?
i highly dought it
Waiting 2-3 weeks is still a long time.... we waited like what, 6 months for this patch? -.-'
