Can You Fly in Zandalar in Dragonflight?
Direct Answer: Yes, flying in Zandalar will be available in Dragonflight.
Flying in Zandalar: A Brief History
In the past, flying in Battle for Azeroth (BfA) zones, including Zandalar, was restricted due to the requirements for completing the Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder achievement. However, with the latest patch notes for Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7, it has been announced that the requirements for flying in BfA zones will be lifted.
How to Fly in Zandalar in Dragonflight
To fly in Zandalar, follow these steps:
- Meet the Pre-Requisites: Complete the Battle for Azeroth (BfA) expansion storyline.
- Unlock Flying: Obtain the flying skill by reaching the minimum level requirement (level 35 for War Campaign).
- Buy the Flying Rights: Purchase the flying rights for the Battle for Azeroth expansion.
Additional Notes:
- Account-Wide: Flying rights for Zandalar will be account-wide, meaning that once you purchase them for one character, you can use them on all other characters on the same account.
- BfA Included: Once Shadowlands is officially active, Battle for Azeroth (BfA) will be included in the subscription, and you will no longer need to purchase it separately.
When Can I Start Questing in BfA?
If you are just starting the game and have never leveled a character before through the BfA expansion, you will be forced to play through it. This is to ensure that new players are caught up to the storyline leading into Shadowlands.
Do I Need to Buy BfA and Shadowlands?
Yes, at the moment, you need to buy BfA to purchase Shadowlands. However, once BfA is rolled into the base game, you will only need to purchase Shadowlands.
