i took extra care to make sure to include all important details 🥳👍

im sure other people know but you can get infinite height (however it takes quite some time due to the nature of it) by spamming summon griffon key and space. Essentially you mount, flap and dismount glide until you mount again (vigor still not enough for another flap so), mount-dismount-glide-mount again untill you can flap for height. the mount dismount/glide resets your falling speed so eventually you end up higher after each flap. Using the bond will give you and extra flap but i think the buff it's represented as dissapears when you re-mount.

It cleared a lot of questions in my mind. The main things that prohibit me from flying well is I flap the wings right after the climb! And also you're supposed to climb all the way until your griffon levels out and I always don't do this... And guess what, I blame the ping (I play on Asia, the lowest ping I play is 250-275), when in fact I just suck. lol

@katdrexed

11 ай бұрын

To not land wingflapping is enough, until you feel like you're gonna crash. Then just climp up as high as you can, then dive back. Reason: if you climb up only a little bit you lose speed and will start gliding to the ground faster because you're slower. Griffon naturally slides slowly downwards, but close to the ground the "ground effect" kicks in (it's a thing irl as well). The lower your speed is the faster you slide towards the ground. You can test that by not wingflapping at all and you will reach the ground at some point, just like a bird that glides to land. So to stay in the air infinitely all you have to do is pull up all the way and then dive back down when you want to get higher. I have another video on how to regain your lost altitude back ;) Do note that the geiffon can always return to it's mounting altitude or where it last touched ground, but not much above it. It's hardcoded impossible. So you do need to mount it at some higher place, but the skyscale solves this problem easily

thank you so much for this video. i have been messing up pulling up for months i always flapped my wings has soon has i got has high has you can get before it leveled out. i do have one question what do i need to do to not lose all of my speed when pulling up i have seen videos where they dont seem to lose all of their speed and they go straight into another dive? the but griffons cant fly video is a great example. if you havent seen it i think you will like it

@katdrexed

Жыл бұрын

for the wingflat after pullup it's a one specific milisecond after you let go of pullup. Wingflapping after pullup is jormal hut you have to wait for your griffon to level. As for rediving again after a pullup: i didn't tell you in this guide yet but you don't need to boost again if you don't pullup too much. So if you pull up and your griffon flies 90 and you redive you still have your superspeed. I have it planned onto my next guide 😎

Actually it's because the trail is staright up blinding. After flying for a while you don't need any speedlines to know that you're going max speed or the Ui to see when you can wingflap. ^^ But not seeing the terrain over the trail can be a annoying and forces you to zoom out which messes with your depth perception again. From my observation: most people that have been flying the griffon for a long time fly with a non-trail griffon all the way zoomed in. Most beginners fly zoomed out looking at the riffon from the top. To have a trail is nice and we like it but we usually use trailed weapons/back or (the rich birbs) use infusions.

Those are crystal champion masteries, they come from Living World season 4 (Jahai Bluffs, Kourna, Istan, Sandswept isles, Dragonfall...) The orange one (Bonf of Vigor) is useful for flying griffons, it regenerates your mount stamina faster, can reccomend! Othervise you don't really need them. Unless you have created your account before the LS4 came out it will be locked for you, each episode costing 200gems (that is 80g atm, if you nees to buy gems by converting gold I reccomended waiting a bit) If you wanna get into griffon flying and don't want to unlock all the episodes yet go for episode 2 (Sandswept isles) which also unlocks the Prototyte position rewinder possibility, which is the MOST useful thing in the world. It's like a checkpoint that you can always teleport back to, usable anywhere anytime, jumping puzzles, whatever you need!

Is there a way to level your mount more quickly?

@katdrexed

Short answer: no After you the speed boost griffon will continue downwards a little and you cannt do anything about it. That's why you want to boost as soon as possible so you can decide when to fly forward from a dive and don't facepalm the floor ^^'

It really depends on what color you put in it, but I would classify it as "rather blinding" since it is irregular with bright chunks constantly changing. The trail is fairly long as well. Also I find it extremely difficult to dye it anything but fire colors, and purple. It turned green when I tried some gray colors xD It is a really pretty skin with pulsating fur and elusive wings, looks like it's melting - it wobbles ^^ You can create nice transitions between colors on it's body.
