If you have a character who is level 80 and has already purchased Cold Weather Flying, but are bringing a new character into Northrend, you no longer have to wait until level 77 to enjoy flying in Northrend. They are only intended to help players quest in areas they could not otherwise reach. These reins can only be used in Storm Peaks, Sholazar Basin, and Icecrown - other parts of Northrend are off-limits for these flying mounts. Instead, the loaned reins will remain in your backpack. Unlike other mounts, these reins will not cause you to learn a mount in your companions tab. If you have not yet trained Cold Weather Flying, but do have the Artisan Riding (basic flying) skill, he will give you Loaned Gryphon Reins (Alliance) or Loaned Wind Rider Reins (Horde).

Instead, visit “Honest” Max in the goblin town K3 in Storm Peaks. This doesn’t mean that you have to forgo questing once you reach these areas until you earn your thousand gold for Cold Weather Flying, however. Some areas in Storm Peaks, Sholazar Basin, and Icecrown can only be reached by flight. What if I can’t afford Cold Weather Flying?Īs you’re questing in Northrend, you will find that some quests can only be completed by having a flying mount. None of the three trainers belong to a faction, so it is impossible get a faction discount on your riding skill.

Roxi Ramrocket: At the goblin town K3 in Storm Peaks, Roxi also teaches all levels of riding. Like Hira, Pilot Vic can train all levels of riding.
