Q u o t e:

Just to confirm, Tome of Cold Weather Flight is actually a new heirloom item planned to go into patch 3.2. At level 80 players can buy this heirloom item from the Cold Weather Flying Trainer in Dalaran for 1,000 gold and send it to an alt of the same realm, faction and account. The tome can be used to learn Cold Weather Flying at level 68, consuming the tome in the process.

Please note this feature is not yet in the newest version of the public test realm patch notes updated today. The item and its functionality are subject to change during the testing process.

I like it. I really really like it. It allows everyone to experience Northrend on foot at least once. Should be done for Outland too so new people experience that on foot too at least once (also for going through the dark portal at least once first before using those new portals)

Do we still have to pay the 1000 for the Skill after we buy the tome, or does the tome from our level 80 replace the cost for our lower level?

Patch 3.2 lowers the level requried for regular flying to 60. So when the tome is available, alts will be able to use it at 68 just fine.

Check out the "Mounts" section of the PTR notes:


Q u o t e:
  • Mounts

    • The cast time for summoning any ground mount is now 1.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds.
    • Apprentice Riding (Skill 75): Can now be learned at level 20 for 4 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 20 directing them to the riding trainer.
    • Journeyman Riding (Skill 150): Can now be learned at level 40 for 50 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 40 directing them back to the riding trainer.
    • Expert Riding (Skill 225): Can now be learned at level 60 for 600 gold from trainers in Honor Hold or Thrallmar. Faction discounts now apply (Honor Hold for Alliance; Thrallmar for Horde). Flight speed at this skill level has been increased to 150% of run speed, up from 60%.
    • Artisan Riding (Skill 300): Faction discounts now apply (Honor Hold or Valiance Expedition for Alliance; Thrallmar or Warsong Offensive for Horde).
    • In order to further equalize the number of purchasable mounts available to each race, a new 60% speed ground mount has been added for night elves, and a new 100% speed ground mount has been added for the undead.
    • Flying over Dalaran and Wintergrasp is now possible so long as players keep a healthy distance above the ground.



  • Q u o t e:
    Do we still have to pay the 1000 for the Skill after we buy the tome, or does the tome from our level 80 replace the cost for our lower level?

    You just have to buy the tome. The cost for the player is the same. It just means if you have an alt and can afford it, you can get yourself flying in Northrend by level 68.

    Mount changes, flying requires level 60 with the coming patch. Also regular flying is 150% movement speed instead of 60%. Epic Flying still req level 70.

    Edit: Wow first, my first first.

    Why would you be able to get free tomes? He said that once the tome is used it disappears, which to me means you have to pay 1k G for each alt, you are just able to learn cold weather flying 10 levels sooner at the same price.

    You will have to pay again if you want to send it to an alt. You get some faction discount though (Kirin Tor), but that's about it.

    The tome costs 1,000 gold. It is not meant to bypass the cost of the training, but only to allow for level 80 players with alts the ability to fly in Northrend once they arrive at level 68. It's a small perk for those who have reached level 80 and like leveling new races or classes. :)

    Nice change. Maybe while you're at it, you could add a Tome of Swift Flying (Usable at 60) to allow people with a spare 4k-5k gold to fly at 280% while they're heading through Outland.

    Let me ask this, The item doesn't say anything about requiring you to actually be 80 to buy it. So what's to keep someone for buying it themself on their level 68 main and totally skipping the concept of exploring northrend as intended as main.

    While i agree that alts it's a great idea, i don't think it's a good idea if new players can get it too. Bad enough they can afk level to 60 with recruite a friend in dungeons, 60-70 do about 2-3 zones with way exp was buffed out there. then at 68 fly and zip through northrend too? This person will be in LFG for ulduar heroic and emalon 2 days after they made the char, in all greens going "can I has raid?"

    From what I've heard, some people have gone to the vendor on alts under level 80 and didn't see the book (or weren't able to buy it, wasn't specific besides the "can't get it" part). So there's no worry.
