Hi all,

I just had a little question. I see a lot of high clerics flying with the starting wings instead of with the level 30 wings. Are they faster ?

Thanks inadvance,

    They start out slower (+0.0 compared to +0.5), but if you level flying mastery they can become much faster (+2.0 compared to +0.5).

    I'm not so sure about that
    even though it says +2.0, doesnt seem to go that fast

    Why i say this is because last night after a bh29, i flew to the head hunter along with a friend on their lvl 30 manta, and my wing's passive is at lvl 10, and she got ahead of me by about 3 seconds and i could not catch up at all, but instead she was getting futher apart from me.

    So to me, the +2.0 really isnt there O.o

    I was under the impression that movement speed buffs didn't effect flying speed (unless the skill specifically states it does). At least that's what most of the debates say whenever the topic is brought up. Supposedly the difference in flying speed when using mounts with the same speed is cause by lag.

    Flying mastery only applies the the wings you start with at level 1.

    I'd like to agree with Delia. With flight mastery lvled, the natural cleric wings are indeed 4x faster than the lvl 30 quest wings. The difference is that the natural wings drain mana while the lvl 30 ones don't. Considering clerics have high mana regen, we can use them as much as we want. The only time I ever used my eagle wings was for killing air mobs because I wanted to save mana, and even that got less as my mana regen increased. Eagle wings also have an acceleration of +2.5, but if you consider the maxed natural elven wing flying speed of +2.0, it's obvious which one is faster on average. (Unless you're willing to spend a fortune on chi stones for replenishing the acceleration. I believe that it takes 1 wuhsing stone to replenish 5 seconds on default lvl 30 aerocraft.)

    Are you sure that the person with the manta wasn't accelerating? That may be why you can't pass them. The default skymanta maybe have a flying of +0.5, but its acceleration is faster than your maxed wings. (+2.5 with acceleration vs. +2.0 flying speed with maxed wings)

    This is not true and doesn't apply to flying

    You sure your flight mastery is at lvl 10 as you should flying faster then her unless she is hasting a lot.You go 2.5 at acceleration on.What genie do they have as there is a genie skill that makes you go faster.

    Archers stop losing mana at late 20s to Sylredrae.

    Thanks MystiMonk; I thought it was at lvl 30. I guess that's good news if I decide to start an archer alt. XD

    Maybe your hair didnt match your wings and that why you was flying slower ? b:chuckle

    I definately noticed the 2.0 speed and had those wings for a long long time :) .
