Cash shop wings vs normal white wings

If you max flight mastery then the normal white wings will be faster.

you dont have to get cash shop wings because you get new non mp using wings at lv 30 which are the Eagle Wings. its slower but if you have lv 5 flight mastery then u would match the speed of the cash shop wings. you also get better wings at lv 50. so id go for normal wings.

Flight Mastery only applies to the White Wings, it does NOT apply to Eagle wings.

So, which one is best?

i say white wings because you dont have to spend real $. When you quit, the things you buy with $ won't return in your pocket and you look back...you see it's wasteful. i learned this becaue it's happeend to me before and i regret it so much..

Is this 100% true? If so, cant we just have both?

I do hope this is false, it makes no sense to have flight mastery only affect a certain pair of wings, how would one go about testing this anyway ?
And if it's true how do you get white wings that don't consume mana ? And is "white wings" a solid criteria ? Seems silly to me

At level 9 my white wings, from putting ap in magic and dex, dont consue mana at all, so virtually i can fly forever. You dont need lvl 30 wings to fly continuosly

Well, I recently got the lvl 30 Eagles Wings. I got to keep my white wings.

I had 3 points in flight mastery (not knowing they only affected Eagles Wings).

The Eagle Wings give you an inherent 0.5 speed boost, and a level 3 Flight Mastery gives you a 0.6 speed boost.

I went to the center of Archosaur and flew from the top of one statue to the other using a mouse click. Once with Eagle Wings, once with white wings. The time difference was less than 1 second, clocked with a stopwatch. That proves to me that flight mastery only applies to the white wings.

I was not actually surprised it doesn't apply to any other wings than white wings. Cash shop wings already make you go faster and can be upgraded. Stack that with Flight Mastery and Elves could be the fastest fliers in the game. While that would seem only natural as elves are born fliers, it would also unbalance the game in PvP. Fully upgraded cash shop wings on Elves, especially archers, would be able to engage/disengage targets at will. That would be too great an advantage for them in PvP.

One suggestion I think might work is to make it so that when not in PK mode flight mastery applies to all wings, and when in PK mode it only applies to white wings. I'm only 34 though, so it's possible that could also imbalance PvE in the later stages.

first thanks for your infos and testing.
if i understand it correct (your statement in the bolder letters) you got your lvl 30 eagle wings from quest AND could also keep your lvl 1 white wings. So you can now change wings whenever you want ?
That would be ok - FM on lvl 5 would give you +1.0 on white wings.
Nevertheless would be nice to have FM on all normal ingame wings. Those cash shop wings - which are still faster - could be not infeccted with FM. So there would still be players who would buy cash shop wings for being faster and f2p ppl wouldnt be punished with slower wings for doing quests and grinding till lvl xx

umm so does figth mastery affect eagel wings

No, it does not.

I think atm lvl 10 flight mastery with the white wings are the fastest in the game.

It only costs ~180k too.

So, if the eagle wings are a quest reward then what are the Elven Radiance wings in the cash shop? The awesome orange translucent ones? All this time I thought that you had to buy the eagle wings from the cash shop. >_< lol

So is it worth to invest into Flight Mastery if it wont work for Eagle Wings??

Now I've heard that you also get a new set of wings at level 50. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

they probably ment elven radiance from cash shop

Here's what I do, I put white wings and eagle wings in one of my skill slots. Right now my white wings are faster then the eagle wings, so I use them for traveling quickly. When I am in combat/ need to conserve mana, I switch to eagle wings.

I think that is a good strategy i'm going to start a new archer today i already have a lvl 22 one on lost city but me and a friend are starting new characters each on Heaven's Tear.

See, now I'm confused. My normal wings, which we all get at the beginning, don't consume mana. If I'm fighting with a weapon with wings out this whole other bar starts to go down. But just flying ... nothing decreases.

And how do I get new skills? I should apparently be able to use Great Cyclone now but ... nothing.
