Description
Let us start with the basics. If you fly straight you will wear yourself out right now. Use gravity as an aid and aim slightly down to fly a long distance. The rings will give you the general angle that you should use for basic gliding. First, call upon your drake, or our Red Drake friend here can give you a lift. Then, fly through the rings and land at the target location. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Skyriding
One thing you may have already discovered about this place: the Dragon Isles are vast. Some of the drakes have an intense interest in exploring every corner and secret hiding place in this renewed land, even those places that are not readily reached from the ground.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- How to Dive with Your Dragon
Gliding will get you to where you want to go. But what if you want to get there faster? Diving after jumping from somewhere high will give you a speed boost. Fly through the rings to the target location. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.
