Wow how fast do taxis go

The only thing is that you can't go AFK as well without flying into a tree or past your destination. I'm not talking the routes. I'm talking the taxi itself.

User Info: NiftyManZ. Depends on the flight path, the flight path's mount, and the route. I would say, most times it is better to just use your flying mount. Mainly because you can take a straight like to the place you want to go, and, if you go across and quest hubs you haven't been to or over gathering nodes, you can stop there and get what you need.

User Info: adjl. I think FP's tend to fly a bit faster, but you get to your destination faster on your mount because the guy charting your flight path didn't decide to try drawing Snoopy.

This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. User Info: lufia But as people have noted, you may still get there faster using the flyer.

It really depends on the flight path. So I would say the FP is faster than epic mounts. More topics from this board Blizzard's first female co-leader announces she is already stepping down. And quit this sad game? As of Patch 6. You still can't fly to ones you don't know, but this new feature prevents many of the inefficient routes that happened previously and also allows flying to destinations that were previously inaccessible. Also in Patch 6. Different flight paths cost different amounts, but generally increase in cost dramatically if they are between higher level expansion zones.

Flight paths usually take turns that do not need to be taken to reach their destinations. By using a swift flying mount, you can most likely beat a flight path to a destination. Flying mounts were previously not an option in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms , leaving the flight paths as the fastest means of travel.

This was changed in Cataclysm when flight was allowed in Azeroth. If flight masters are attacked by members of the opposing faction, they will spawn a pair of adds to defend themselves Enraged Wyvern s or Enraged Felbat s for Horde flight masters, Enraged Hippogryph s or Enraged Gryphon s for Alliance.

Flight masters, while hostile to enemy players, originally had no aggro radius to players. As of Cataclysm flight masters will now attack players unprovoked within their aggro radius. Certain places where both Alliance and Horde flight masters reside, such as Light's Hope Chapel , remain stationary unless attacked to allow players to remain there without causing unwanted PvP fights.

Originally at each flight point you had to select the next flight point you wanted to go to and so on until you reached your destination. AFK characters were more prevalent than they are now at flight points when the introduction of linked flight paths in Patch 1.

For example, new players in Northrend sometimes quest in both Borean Tundra and the Howling Fjord , but are unable to fly between them because they are linked by several intermediate flight paths in much higher level zones.

As time has passed, additional flight points have been added at various places. The way flight paths are linked is not always the most direct and expected route. If you log out in flight, upon logging back on, you will continue your flight from the same spot where you logged out.

However, in a flight of multiple legs, you will then land at the next waypoint of the journey. This behavior can be used to abort a flight, provided there are waypoints before the destination.

Interestingly, logging back in to an Alliance character using a flight path will change whichever steed Hippogryph, Skeletal Gryphon, Dragonhawk was being ridden before into a normal Gryphon, and Horde characters will log back in to find themselves riding a Wyvern.

As of Cataclysm, some flights may no longer be aborted by logging out in flight. Several attempts or even waiting for 10 or more seconds has not aborted a flight to land at the nearest stop. Posted November 24, edited. Very good tutorial. That's something I've recently wanted to try doing. Is it applicable to all expansions or only 3. And please highlight some headings in your post somehow.

For example, with bold font or bigger size. Just to make look better. Great job, again. Posted November 24, Thanks for feedback Skarn. This is for 3. I wanted to use heading formatting, but it made so huge spaces between rows that I have decided to use just a plain size.

I will maybe try again. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account? Sign in here.

Hello there little whelps, there have been quite a lot of requests for transports tutorial and guy who promised that he will write it didn't do so, so I decided I will write this tut for you on my own.

What are transports? Transports in WoW are in fact gameobjects which are being moved along a path specified in DBCs, which are quite easy to understand and edit, so this should not be anything difficult even for beginners. Players who stand on gameobject working as transport move together with it, until they leave it. It seems there are 20 blizzlike transports in blizzlike TC2 world database and all are ships and zeppelins, it works quite nice for water and air traveling.

Sadly, this system doesn't work very well for ground traveling, I will explain why later. What will you need? These nodes are in fact just to specify where destination lays docks for example , but they have nothing to do with actual paths which transports will follow. Make sure you enter correct map ID its in hex here, 0x25 is 37 in dec, and thats ID of map I was using here , but X, Y and Z coords don't need to be really exact. Name is in fact just a note for you and last 2 columns specify entry of creature used as mount for taxi path, but have no effect for transports and thus I left them empty.
