Am I the only one who thinks flight is a completely useless spell? What’s the point of standing and charging it for 15 seconds, wasting a huge amount of energy just to fly 800 meters if you don’t have fast magic or range build and even then switching from one build to another just to use flight once is simply pointless. Hover is much better in any aspect if you don’t want to descend or ascend, not to mention the fact that using a movement speed build, I can fly further with hover than with flight 
.(Without charging and using half of my energy)

i am like 99% sure vetex made the spell trash on purpose given how he refused to even add it for years
Tsk, if that’s the case, human spite will always be “amusing…”
at that point just remove flight
why do so many people harbor this opinion??
i use metal. granted, i have 10% agility, but ive found uses for flight:
- flying up and down nimbus wilds for charts
- scaling i3 islands without climbing for 5 minutes
- flying between select few islands to help friends
if you find it bad, dont use it. clearly dont see the purpose in it so use a different spell. plenty of new ones to use anyways

if i ever use flight, i plan to go with a max energy efficiency kit so my bowels don’t get entirely voided, and might be the better option considering how much speed was gutted for flight
Well , flight is actually useful for flying to nimbus wilds wont lie,but if you have movement build climbing speed is actually insane so it’s not needed and range is to short for flying between islands unless they super close to each other

to answer your question, i’d imagine most people simply dont really have a reason to utilise the uses you said.
you can just prevent nimbus wild charts altogether by going to the bronze sea + treasure positions are usually closer together. other than charts, the only other reason ive ever gone back to the sky islands in nimbus is to explore the rest of the islands not covered in the story.
climbing up darksea islands is also something i imagine not a lot of people are doing right now, and considering the fact that climbing hooks exist now + there is now like 3 more ‘mobility’ spells which also have offensive utility (hasta, annihilation, whatever) it’s not like you cant just scale an island in another way
and flying between close islands to “help friends” is absurd because first of all nobody playing arcane odyssey of all things would have friends. but secondly theres also no reason to be flying to an island unless your ship is sunken bc itll take like barely less time, and then after that you still need your ship to traverse to other longer distance islands. which ig is what vetex intended so hurrah
in my opinion, i think that flight is kind of just useless outside of going upward or downward in specific cases, and even then if there’s an easier way to do it i’d just rather do that lmao. most of the time, in a case where i can use flight, i go “yeah but like do i have to? think of my energy mate”. like i COULD use flight to look cool to go to the town on the opposite side of sameria, but A. i wont even reach bc its more than 900m lmao and B. why would i waste that total energy when i could just dash and make it there like 10 seconds later than if i flew
