World of Warcraft Classic has changed yet again, and the Cataclysm of Deathwing has arrived for a second time. One of the biggest changes, and also among the most controversial, is the ability to use a flying mount anywhere in Azeroth.

The Best Games To Play If You Like World Of Warcraft

Previously, players of level 60 and up could only fly in the regions of Northrend and Outland, the high-level areas from the previous expansions. Now that Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms are also different, the skies have opened up to any player with a flying mount provided they have a Flight Masters Licence.

Unlocking The Flight Master's License

Permission To Fly Azeroth's Friendly Skies

  • Only available to players level 60 or higher that have Artisan Riding

No matter which Flying Trainer your character visits, they'll have the same list of training options divided into two categories: "Development Skills" and "Recipes."

  • Development Skills: These are the basic riding skills that characters obtain while leveling, starting at Apprentice at level 20 and Master at level 80.
  • Recipes: An odd name for the special ability to fly in the freezing temperatures of Northrend or get a driving permit for the two continents of Old Azeroth, but both of them are listed here. The ability to summon and use a flying mount with the Flight Master's License also applies to the subterranean realm of Deepholm.

A character must be at least level 60 and have Artisan Riding, which is level 225, to buy a license. The Flight Master's License only costs 200 gold, which is cheap compared to the cost of other skills like Master Riding.

This doesn't include the underwater zone of Vash'jr, but the Subdued Abyssal Seahorse is a much more efficient way to travel. It's a reward that every player gets after finishing the first few quests in the zone. Cold Weather Flying is specifically for Northrend, costs 400g, and requires level 67.
