    Question: 310% Flying

    I have a character without epic flying but a 310% mount. Did I find a loophole in the system that will save me 10k to get 310% flying come Cataclysm?

    No, since you need 280% flight to purchase it.

    Apparently you missed that if you have a 310% mount you get it for free in Cataclysm. I have a 310% mount but no training.

    You still have to buy it, it'll just be free. To be able to buy it, you must have epic flying (which won't be free).

    You need to buy 280% before you can buy 310%, so no I dont think you found a loophole.

    My theory is that if its 5k for 310%, perhaps they will lower 280% from 5k as well

    The bigger they are, the harder I hit'em

    I believe all mounts that are currently 310% are going DOWN to 280% and will require the purchase of 310 to go back up.

    FFS no one in this thread knows what they're talking about or has answered my question yet.

    IDGAF if I need 280% to buy 310%. I'm not buying anything. I'm asking if I get an automatic 310% flying skill just for owning a 310% mount, just as Blizzard stated would happen.

    Blizzard never said that. If you own a 310%, the 310% flying skill is free. You must go to a trainer and pay 0G.
    Also, you don't have a 310% mount if it's just lying in your bags and you can't learn it

    No you can't if the 310% mount is in your bag, but if you learned it you will.

    We answered your question, you apparently have difficulty reading.

    Buying Cold Weather Flying doesn't give you Epic Flying for free, so I don't see your point.

    Think there's very few individuals that have a 310%, but no 280% training - so I doubt that there's anyone here that can help you.

    Besides that, this is a bad place to ask.

    Apparently you missed the part where learning 310% flying speed whether it's free or not requires 280%. You can't honestly believe they'd leave a loophole like that in game, can you?

    Simply possessing the mount isn't enough; you have to have actually learned the mount. You can't do that without having the 280% speed training already.

    This is a good answer. Everything I needed to know in a single sentence.

    The rest of you kinda suck.

    The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train. People who already own a 310% flying mount get it for free.


    You believe wrong

    I'd wager you'd have to have it in your fancy list of mounts in the character pane to be eligible for the free upgrade.

    This is what I heard:

    Reading comprehension is hard! Why didn't the rest of you dumb it way, waay down for me?
