WikiActivitiesFlight

FlightTake to the skies on a broom or board; the fastest way across the archipelago.

Skybound is a world of floating islands, so flying isn’t a luxury; some places (the far isles of the Shattered Garden, the Rustfall’s Sealed Cell) can only be reached by air. You unlock flight at Level 5 by buying a mount.

Boards are faster than brooms of the same tier. Faster premium mounts (up to the Seraph’s Ascendance wings, +65% speed) are sold in the Cash Shop.

Where you can’t fly

Only one place is a no-fly zone: the Arena. Everywhere else in the open world, if you own a usable mount, you can take off.

Fast travel too. Don’t forget Blinkwing scrolls from the Magic Merchant: instant teleports to a town (200 Glint to the nearest, up to 2,600 Glint to the Rustfall). And Waystone Keepers move you between zones for free.
Flight speed is earned, not claimed: you only get the flight speed cap if you actually own a mount whose level requirement you meet. There’s no way to “fake” flight, so the skies stay fair.
