Description

To gain height, use Skyward Ascent. Follow the rings again to your destination, using Skyward Ascent when you need upward momentum. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.

Where to go

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.

The Need For Higher VelocitiesLevel 10-70
Sometimes you'll need to travel longer distances. If you don't need to travel up and over any obstacles, using Surge Forward is the easiest way to maintain a good forward speed to prevent yourself from plummeting out of the sky.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Fashionable FlyingLevel 10-70
You have learned all I can teach you. But flying isn't just about getting to your destination--it's about getting there in style! Use the Rostrum of Transformation behind you to customize your drake's appearance.
