Category: News ArchiveHits: 853
All flying mounts have the ability to fly one rider wherever he or she may want to go in Outland, but that doesn't mean that flying is the only thing these mounts are capable of. Every flying mount can also run on the ground just like regular mounts can.
While walking, the nether drake behaves exactly like a regular mount, but its speed is at least as fast as that of the faster epic land mounts. And when the nether drake lifts off the ground, its rider can freely explore the distant lands of Outland.
Handling the nether drake and all the other flying mounts is simple. The controls while on the ground work just like the standard controls. To switch from running to flying, just start running and then press the jump key to lift off. At this point the nether drake will start flying at a low altitude, and the controls now change slightly.
