Buying flying in Northrend – Where to get cold weather flying?
Requirement for flying in Northrend: To learn flying in Northrend with your first character, you must have reached at least level 77. You also need to have acquired the “Expert Riding” ability. For Druids, the learned flight form is a requirement.
Where you can buy the flight license: In Northrend, you have various locations that sell you cold weather flying:
- Dalaran: At NPC Hira Windrunner, you can learn cold weather flying. You will find her at Krasus’ Landing, moving in a circle on her cloud serpent. This is also where the flight master can be found. You can also purchase the Grimoire of Cold Weather Flying from her, which allows your alts to learn flying as early as level 68.
- Storm Peaks: In the town of K3, you will find Roxi Rocketpropeller. You can also learn flying in Northrend from her. She walks around a plane, right next to the flight master.
- Sholazar Basin: At the place Riverbend, you will find Pilot Vic, who also teaches you flying in Northrend. He stands right next to the flight master.
- You only need to talk to one of the NPCs to learn cold weather flying.
No gold for flying in Storm Peaks? There are taxis
Flying without a flight license in Northrend? Yes, it is possible. If you don’t purchase the cold weather flying for reasons, but need to fly to the quests in the Storm Peaks, you can rent flight taxis in K3.
In the camp K3, you will find the NPC “Honest” Max. He will lend you flying mounts if you have reached level 77. This works even without mastering cold weather flying. However, the animals only fly in Storm Peaks, Icecrown, and Sholazar Basin and only at 60% speed.
Cold weather flying for alts
Requirement: If your first character reaches level 80 and learns cold weather flying, you can unlock flying for your alts earlier. Visit Hira Windrunner in Dalaran to purchase the Grimoire of cold weather flying there. Alts can use this as early as level 68 to unlock flying in Northrend.
