depends how fast flight will be i suppose
Whatever drawbacks flight has… I can at least use them to make the giant dark sea islands kinda viable
It has long been considered for readdition he just announced it now.
It should be fine if the long long cooldown is actually long enough (not saying I don’t trust him to set a proper cooldown, just saying it’ll straight up have to be like 10 minutes or smth absurd).

Do you know if it’s gonna be a mage only thing for a while or if it will be accessible to hybrids when it releases
@TheoreticalExistence and a call for answers regarding it
he did in the QnA a year ago

Would it be balanced to have the cooldown go by faster when out of combat or nah
No because it has to be available as infrequently as possible otherwise what’s the point of using boats or anything
sealed chests, cargo, castaways, dark sea, honestly anything that needs a ship at all

I could see Flight being a novelty spell. Not something you’d use all the time, but maybe for when (or if) an arena island gets added to the Nimbus Sea. Personally, I’ll probably wait until we get the second awakening and enough stat points to use it on my third Magic.

Where exactly was it announced that he changed his mind on not adding it?
And can any of you provide a screenshot?
Maybe make the magic energy drain faster over the ocean?
As someone who went to the third range (insanity two) of the dark sea by swimming with Swimming Speed Musgravites pre-nerf, I can confirm that not having a boat is practically useless and only serves to farm for dropped items, beach reagents, and travel a bit more stealthily (though it never outpaced the 140+ speed brigs).
I don’t think that flight could really ever compete with boats just considering how helpful it is to have a boat considering there’s so many things you can’t do without one like diving spots for ex or sealed and no bounty hunting
Replace flight with anacondapyramid
Well, can’t exactly cross the ocean if your stuck in the middle with a ~10 minute cooldown
I think i remember hearing somewhere this was the main concern before but nowadays boats have a lot more functions that are hard to live without like Setting your spawn, the many crafting tables, and sea monster hunting on top of sealed chest/cargo carrying so even if boats are technically optional they aren’t useless

precisely, we’ve gotten enough boat related features that’ll only grow stronger and stronger that flight, if done right, won’t make them obsolete.
I personally hope that flight is more similar to dodge reflexes than like a spell scroll so it doesn’t take up a valuable slot like maybe you activate it by holding down T and shift and your build determines when you can learn it so pure mages learn it sooner than magic hybrids maybe the powerful mage at sailors lodge could do it
