I was wondering wich is faster the original wings (maxed flying mastery) or later wing versions? ...and if it's the second, then how later?

    Natural wings with flying mastery maxed are faster. I don't know by how much, but it's a relatively significant amount.

    Sounds reasonable. Another question: Are winged elves flying master maxed faster than other classes?

    Other classes apart from Archer dont have master flying skill. Max master flying skill gives you +2 speed so you will be going 6.8m/s whilst other classes will be going at 4.8 or 5m/s. Unless they buy from bontique and get the 20 dollar aerocrafts or use winged widgets.

    The original wings, with maxed flight mastery, fly at a speed of +2.0 m/s. They also come with 2 drawbacks. They cut your mana regeneration a bit and they can't be accelerated.

    All wings bought from the cash shop can be upgraded with Wind Widgets to fly at a max speed of +3.0 m/s with an accelerate of +5.0 m/s.

    You can buy cash shop items from other players with in game money if you choose. Upgraded daedalus wings cost about 2.5 - 3 million on the open market these days for example.

    Clerics have so many more pressing needs (mana charms and keeping up with skill costs) that it would be difficult to afford expensive wings until much later in the game. Then again, it's all about prioritizing what is important to you. Would you rather have a few higher levels of skills or fly faster? Getting maxed flight mastery costs ~140k gold for +2.0 m/s vs paying 3 million for +3.0 m/s.

    When you start doing the World Quest at 70+ or getting into PK battles, that extra 1.0 m/s makes a big difference.

    Err.. I assume you mean affordable?

    And yes, they definitely are.

    For best value for money, avoid the fancy wings like the plague. Get the cheapest cash shop wings you can, and then use widgets to upgrade them to the max. It ends up so much cheaper.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    A lot of people get confused by this. The eagle wings are permanent. The duration timer is for the accelerate feature of the wings. If you hover over the wings, you'll see 2 speeds listed. +1.5 and +3.0 if I recall. The wings always fly at +1.5, but if you use accelerate, they will fly at +3.0. As Alpine said, you recharge the accelerate duration by using chi stones you get from decomposing armor and weapons. Higher level gear gives better stones, which add more seconds.

    Also, Flight Mastery does not affect the eagle wings, only the starter, white wings. So you will fly slower with Eagle Wings than with maxed flight mastery regular wings.

    Pretty sure that eagle wings are +0.5, not +1.5.
    And then +2.5 accelerate.
