How to Unlock Flying in Shadowlands in Patch 9.1

Recommended Posts

54297-everything-we-know-about-flying-in

Blizzard added a new item to the game in the first 9.1 build that teaches you Shadowlands flying.

Players will be able to unlock flying through Memories of Sunless Skies Memories of Sunless Skies in Chains of Domination. The new item teaches you Shadowlands flying, allowing all characters on your account to fly in Bastion, Ardenweald, Revendreth, and Maldraxxus.

Memories of Sunless Skies Memories of Sunless Skies unlocks flying for all alts at Level 50+ in Shadowlands.

UPDATE: Muffinus confirmed that flying is coming early in Patch 9.1 and we should be able to unlock it a week after we establish a foothold in Korthia, the new Maw sub-zone.

All you need to do to unlock flying in Patch 9.1 is reach Renown 59 and complete the final chapter of your Covenant Campaign. The new Renown cap in 9.1 is Renown 80 and reaching Renown 59 should take approximately 7 weeks after Patch 9.1 goes live if Blizzard continues to increase the weekly cap by 3.

Unfortunately, there's no flying in the Maw and Korthia because both areas are intended for end-game and we won't be able to fly in Oribos either.

Oh. Whoopee. 

More renown grinding.  More Maw grinding.  More daily grinding.  Because we all love that SO much and it's JUST SO rewarding.

I still sincerely hope what they meant by "Completing Covenant Campaign" was just Renown 23, when we get the achievement with that name, also 9.1 introduction scenario quests to unlock flight at the end.

Since we are unlocking ability to use all mounts in the Maw and later disable The Eye of Jailer mechanic in first and second chapters of the Chains of Domination meta-achievement, that seemed more fair and logical.

This way it is somewhat needlessly time gated for an already late arriving patch, also not new player or casual friendly at all and may not be very motivating for a big percentage of players. Well, it's still PTR, so we'll see if it will be altered or made better.

*UPDATE: 7 week panic ensues... Muffinus jumps in to save the day!
Thanks a lot (again) Muffinus! 😉

We can at least thank blizz for droping the rep farm...

Lets say Rep WOULD be required: If someone doesnt have the REP by now, he simply doesnt deserve "flying" in the first place 😄

Getting the Rep is so easy...i got it on my alt with just Callings and Missiontable...There is no excuse (besides someone just starts playing in 9.1) for not having the rep by now

instead of doing dailies to get rep you now do dailies to get renown. only change in my opinion is , that you can catch up easier if you couldnt play one week or another. so at least a small improvement for people who cant play that often thought

Glad we'll have flying, probably could be here sooner given how late the patch is going to be coming out. Either way it's not a big deal as I generally enjoy navigating the zones and there's some handy tools to move around.

So don't do it, and just get it through raids, dungeons and pvp. You'll just be a week behind everyone else.

We could have been getting flying in 9.2 like other expansions and STILL have the grind...

This is the only kicker. Dropping the rep requirement is kinda irrelevant given how easy it is to get passively, and now they've added an obligatory 7+ week timegate anyway.

I get they regret giving us flying, but for the love of god STOP TIME GATING EVERY *filtered* THING

Yeah, it seems we unlock flying at rep 59. All my level 60s, are currently at the level 40 cap. Agreed that it's a needless time gate. Thankfully flying will be accountwide, but still feels bad if they stick to the 3 renown levels per week. Here's hoping we get it sooner rather than later.

I don't mind the timegate! People seem to want everything NOW and not have to work for it. Then they whine & complain that there is nothing to do a month later. I have all 4 at 40 and  I am taking a "break" from retail. I'll be ready to do this 4 x again when the patch releases.

Instead of whining about doing the same thing over and over - take a break!

I would prefer more story over this dull grinding.

men so much whining, world of warcraft is an mmorpg game, name one single GOOD mmorpg game that you don't have to grind, you can even get the renown by just doing dailys tanking about 30min tops, ppl this days want everything fast, easy and non hard to get, but then what? it would be WoD all over again

The game's been like that for 16 years already, do you keep paying while you wait for it to suddenly adapt to you?

I can totally understand not being able to fly in the Maw. It is thematically correct. However, not being able to fly in Oribos is stupid.

      Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab for Monks in the War Within, making Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon!
      We've got some great news for all Monk players out there. In the War Within expansion, Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab that makes Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon, instead of your fists.

      In the past, Glyph of Jab was a minor glyph used by monks, designed to ensure that the Jab ability was executed with hands and fist animations even when non-fist weapons were equipped. You will find more details here.

      We've looked at the number of chapters of the War Within level-up campaign and compared it to Dragonflight.
      War Within Level Up Campaign
      The level-up campaign in each zone consists of 3 chapters, so you will end up with a total of 12 level-up chapters in the new expansion. You will spend roughly an hour completing the main storyline in each zone.

      Isle of Dorn (Zone 1 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Breaking Point Chapter 2: Earthen Fissures Chapter 3: The First Blow The Ringing Deeps (Zone 2 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: By Candlelight Chapter 2: Dark Revelations Chapter 3: The Monster and the Machine The Hallowfall Arathi (Zone 3 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: The Guiding Start Chapter 2: Gathering Shadows Chapter 3: Hope in Solidarity  Azj-Kahet (Zone 5 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Friends in the Dark Chapter 2: Unraveling the Trapped Chapter 3: Plans within Plans Dragonflight Campaign Chapters
      When we compare War Within level up chapter numbers with Dragonflight zones, the expansion shipped with a total of 15 level-up chapters spread across 4 zones:
      Waking Shores had 5 campaign chapters. Ohn'ahran Plains shipped with 4 campaign chapters. Azure Span had 4 campaign chapters. Thaldraszus shipped with 3 campaign chapters. Max-Level Campaign
      The War Within (Max Level Questing) consists of 4 chapters. The fourth campaign name is unknown at this time and Blizzard will most likely hotfix it.

      Blizzard have shared this week's Rogue changes, as well as plans for future adjustments to Fatebound and Trickster Hero trees.
      (Source)
      Greetings Rogues,
      This week’s Alpha build includes many changes to Class and Spec talent trees, including a handful of positional swaps, tuning changes, and a few new and redesigned talents.
      Feedback about these changes is welcome, so please post here with any notable experiences or opinions from your play in the Alpha test.
      More change will be coming over the next few weeks, focused primarily on hero talents. Deathstalker is still lurking in the shadows and will be revealed when it’s ready (sometime in the next few weeks).
      For Fatebound, more completed talents will be rolling in over time, and we have also been following gameplay and written feedback which will be cause for iterations to existing talents.
      For Trickster, we’ve been following all of your feedback, and it has generated significant internal discussion. While the core pieces will remain in place (Unseen Blade, the Fazed debuff, and a grand finish in Coup de Grace), we expect to revisit the gameplay that fuels this engine, and most notably move away from Feint being a primary applicator of Unseen Blade. Unexpected randomly-timed procs of Unseen Blade have also proven to cause trouble and are being similarly reconsidered, in addition to minor updates for other talents.
      Thank you to those who have played the Alpha and spent the time to share experiences and opinions so far. Keep it coming!
      And here are this week's changes:
      (Source)
      ROGUE New Talent: Shadowheart – Leech increased by 3% while Stealthed. Acrobatic Strikes has been redesigned – Auto-attacks increase auto-attack damage and movement speed by 1% for 3 seconds, stacking up to 10%. Developer’s note: Acrobatic Strikes no longer increases the range of melee attacks. We are revisiting increased melee range talents across the game, and most are being removed. Default melee range has increased since these talents were originally created, allowing specs with increased range to attack from well outside where it appears they should be able to. Cut to the Chase moved from Assassination talent tree to baseline all specs, triggering from Envenom/Dispatch/Eviscerate. Vanish’s guaranteed stealth duration now 1.5 seconds in PvP combat (base 3 seconds). Tight Spender now reduces Energy cost of finishing moves by 6% (was 10%). Subterfuge is now a 2-point talent, effect duration 3/6 seconds. Some talents have moved locations. Without a Trace moved from Subtlety to Class tree in capstone location, replacing Shadow Dance. Nightstalker has been removed. Assassination New Talent: Rapid Injection – Envenom deals 10% increased damage while Envenom’s effect is active. Serrated Bone Spike has been redesigned – (Passive) Prepare a Serrated Bone Spike every 30 seconds, stacking up to 3. Rupture spends a stack to embed a bone spike in its target: Deals Physical damage and Bleed damage every 3 seconds until the target dies or leaves combat. Refunds a stack when the target dies. Generates 1 combo point plus 1 additional per active bone spike. Serrated Bone Spike initial damage reduced by 24% and damage over time damage reduced by 9%. Improved Garrote effect duration increased to 6 seconds (was 3 seconds). Indiscriminate Carnage effect duration reduced to 6 seconds (was 10 seconds). Kingsbane damage bonus per poison application now has a stated cap at 1000% from 50 stacks (was 1980% at 99 stacks). Kingsbane base damage over time increased by 6%. Developer’s note: Kingsbane was originally intended to be uncapped, but abilities and talents introduced in the Dragonflight expansion allowed players to reach its previously-unreachable hidden cap. Increasing or removing the cap in the current environment would reinforce poor gameplay outcomes and continue to constrain talent options, so a lower cap is being introduced with the intention of having Kingsbane remain a valuable component of any build that includes it, but not by being required as every build’s all-important main character. Sepsis has been removed. Outlaw Ace Up Your Sleeve now grants 4 combo points when triggered (was 5). Mastery: Main Gauche damage increased by 24%. Adrenaline Rush has been updated: No longer increases global cooldown recovery rate by 25% while active. Now increases global cooldown recovery rate equal to your Haste while active, up to 25%. Now increases Energy regeneration by 50% (was 60%). Count the Odds effect now has base chance 10% (was 8%) and duration 8 seconds (was 5 seconds), but no longer doubled while Stealthed. Underhanded Upper Hand no longer affects Slice and Dice duration and no longer grants 3 seconds of Subterfuge duration (Stealth ability use). Crackshot’s Dispatch effectiveness reduced to 50% (was 75%). Thief’s Versatility now increases Versatility by 3% (was 4%). Some talents have moved locations. Sepsis has been removed. Subtlety Premeditation has been redesigned – After entering Stealth, your next combo point generating ability generates full combo points. Invigorating Shadowdust now reduces cooldowns by 10/20 seconds (was 15/30 seconds). Shadow Dance moved from the Class talent tree to Subtlety talent tree. Shadow Focus now reduces costs by 5%. Some talents have moved locations.
