Steady Flight Guide
Welcome to our guide on Steady Flight in World of Warcraft. Here, you will find everything you need to know about regular flying in the game.
Introduction
Steady Flight (or regular flying) is the alternative to Skyriding. This flight mode allows you to freely move your character in the air, including standing still, but moves at significantly shorter speeds than Skyriding.
When Does Steady Flight Unlock?
Steady Flight unlocks when you earn the
Expert Riding skill at Level 20. At Level 30, you
will learn
Master Riding allowing you to ride at the highest possible speed on your flying
mount.
Steady Flight Flying Speeds
Expert Riding increases your flight speed by 220%.
Master Riding increases your
flight speed by 420%.
Switch Flight Style
At Level 20, you will unlock
Switch Flight Style that allows you to switch between Steady
Flight and Skyriding.
You will find this option in your mounts tab by pressing Shift+P and selecting the option as shown in the image.
Where Does Steady Flight Work by Default?
Steady Flight works in all expansions, but you need to manually switch from Skyriding mode to use it.
