Dragon Isles Pathfinder - How to Unlock Flying in Patch 10.2

Recommended Posts

75284-dragon-isles-pathfinder-does-not-g

Find out how to unlock regular flying in Patch 10.2 and ride your regular mounts in the Dragon Isles! You can start working on it now!

Of course, Dragonriding mounts are faster and Dragonriding will be the new standard in WoW going forward, but we're still far away from that. As "Dynamic Flight" still hasn't been implemented for regular mounts, many players wonder about when they can ride their regular mounts in the Dragon Isles. 

Guardians of the Dream adds the Dragon Isles Pathfinder Dragon Isles Pathfinder achievement and the best part is you can start working on it now on live servers!

Dragon Isles Pathfinder Requirements That You Can Complete Now

Here are the requirements you can complete on live servers now to unlock flying when Patch 10.2 hits.

Zone Campaigns

First, you must complete the storylines in the five Dragonflight zones, including Zaralek Cavern.

Exploration

You need to fully explore all five zones by revealing the covered areas of the world map.

Renown

The final requirement that you can work on right now is the reputation achievement, but it can only be partially completed because it requires the 10.2 Dream Wardens faction.

  • Freshscales Fifteen Freshscales Fifteen requires you to achievement Renown 15 with all major factions of the Dragon Isles.

For now, make sure you are at Renown 15 with the Valdrakken Accord, Iskaara Tuskarr, Loamm Niffen, Dragonscale Expedition, and the Maruuk Centaur.

Dragon Isles Pathfinder Requirements That Require Patch 10.2 to Launch

When you're done with the achievements listed above, you will need to wait for Patch 10.2 to launch to complete the remaining Pathfinder achievements.

This took far too long to come about. It's getting old not being able to use the mounts I have worked for two decades to use. This xpac is not far from closing out with 10.2 most likely being the final major content patch.

This is my biggest issue. Dragonriding is too restrictive and not as useful as normal flying. If normal flying, with all of it's freedom, is removed or somehow made a secondary, I can't see myself continuing WoW. Normal flying is superior to Dragon riding in that there is no energy restriction and you can easily hover when you choose. You are not tied to a time-gated (energy which must rebuild over time) system of abilities. You can just fly where you want, when you want, without concern for a ridiculous flight system that forces you to manage your travel as you would a fight.

I believe there will be an option to choose between Dragonriding aka "Dynamic Flight" and standard flying (as it exists now) or "Static Flight".

It's odd that they would call Dragonriding "dynamic" given how restricted it is. Normal flying is far more free and open.

Regardless, it's good that normal flying won't be removed/replaced.

I assume it's going to be like war mode on/off thing? So we won't be able to switch it anywhere. It would have been more convenient if we were able to have both normal flying and dragonriding. Normal flying is more convenient for gathering resources as doing this with dragonriding will require some waiting for vigor to replenish. The only thing dragonriding is better at is traveling for longer distances.

I'm not a big fan of dragonriding myself, however there is another issue. It's very likely that dragonriding will stay within Dragon Isles and we will get something similar in next expansion. This means we will have to gather new glyphs, complete another set of races etc. This seems like an easy pattern to "reset progress" and to just pad content with even more "fluff", which is basically copied from previous expansion. Sort of like we always get the same things to do in new zones, kill rares, get some treasures, earn renown and so on.

I've never seen the point of dragon riding, yes it's fun (it change from normal fly). But :


1 ) the collector mount (a dragon) CAN'T fly in DF

2 ) You can't fly if you have the form of alextraza with the legendary (sad but it can be a little understood)

3 ) Not one previous mount dragon can fly...

4 ) Evoker can't fly (wth? yes for like 1 min but not realy "flying" like the mount do)

5 ) Custumizing your mount is a good idea though

Faction renoun level 15 has been deleted as a requirement for regular flying as of 11/7 patch otherwise i would be flying my crash and burn mount forever. Bliz should have given us a choice on that call anyway.. but we just pay their salaries.. the grind is still horendous and time consuming and thanks to the powers its account wide ..

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
