I have played since launch However I had to take a real life break for the last 5 years. I am playing again and enjoy it. my question is I have gotten my all access but have not bought tov or aom. Will I have to buy a flying mount or do I quest for one. Thanks
Here is a link to the flying timeline, have fun and welcome back! http://eq2.zam.com/wiki/Flying_Mount_(EQ2_Quest_Series)
Welcome back! Edit: Ignore this, apparently you need to do the Eidolon timeline before you can get that quest. Which can be done in less than a week, though, which is how long it takes to get the DoV griffon due to the last set of quests being dailies. The fastest way (other than if /claim has a flying mount, that is) to get a flying mount is to head for Obol Plains, and speak to Anton the Mad in Cardin Ward. His very short questline will get you a sokokar flying mount: http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Mad_Crown's_Quest
To all the righteous players that take the time to answers questions on these Forums. You rock! Me... I'm just here to disturb the peace. Welcome back Sarcas!
Did I look at the wrong quest? I know there's one somewhere that gives a sokokar! I'll see if I can find it (adv and crafter versions).
Sorry, looks like that one was ToV - Sokokar Airstrider was the mount I was thinking of (it has a crafting and adv version, that somehow have the same name, but show as 2 mounts on the mount list if you've done both quests).
If you can /claim the 8 year veteran's reward you get an Elemental Mount. It's basically a disc to fly around on.
This may be the best line to follow for a returning player Flying Mount the sokakar is a ToV mount in Vesspyr Welcome back Sarcas Good Hunting!!
If you're new to the flying thing here I would suggest you do the Leaping to Conclusions quest in Butcherblock first that gets you the leaper mount and play with that for a while because that is an absolute blast. Once you move to actual flying it won't have the same impact and you won't want to go back.
Pretty sure there are "elemental" discs on that vendor...are those flying mounts? The way they're packaged you can't preview one, or at least couldn't last time I tried to look at one.
I agree, when leveling up my warden during 2x XP weekend I was very happy to have that mount when I reached KOS content.
Yeah, leaping is actually fun. One of my favorite mounts is the spider mount. I have both the Halloween and Xmas versions lol.
