Quests that REQUIRE Flying

[Leigaon]

I don't think anyone here ACTUALLY READ what I was asking for. I wasn't asking for them to make flying different or change any of the quests. I am asking for an indicator to let us KNOW what quests need flying.

It shouldn't be hard to implement, but eventually you're going to come into content that is going to require you to do flying is all people are getting at. I'm sure in the end you will, and their point is whether you leave the quests that require flying to the side for later or not, eventually you'll get into end game content that requires you to fly. The result will be the same, you will need to spend time to get them otherwise you will be locked behind flying. It is inevitable basically.

they read. Most of the responses are people telling you to stop being lazy and just unlock it already. If you unlock them as you can reach them, you should NEVER run into a quest that requires flying when you don't have it.

Oh it's possible to pick up a quest that requires flying before unlocking flying. I managed to pick up that pet rescue quest in Coerthas Western, which appears to require flying, before I had flying. I then proceeded to waste time trying to figure out if I could get to that pet without flying.

It's more like this, at the point the quests which require flying become available, you have had all the possibilities to get the flying. All the quests that require flightng are in the "second wave" of quests of a zone, when you have, if you'd followed the questline (main and side) gone through the zone already, done all required quests and had reasonable chance to pick up all he currents.

Those who stumble to the fly requiring quests before they have flying tend to be those who cherry pick what quests they do, and ignore getting the currents when it's easiest, that is, just picking them up along the way when doing the first wave of the quests of the zone.

Uh, nope - cherry picking nothing. I cleared MSQ for Western, I picked up the open world aether currents. I went back settlement to settlement to bulk run all sidequests on alt jobs for exp. Flying quest for the cat in the first settlement popped for me before I started running side quests in other settlements, and didn't have all the quest based aether currents because of that.

As much as I question OP's desire to not want to fly, there's no practical reason not to include simple QoL improvements in game such as flagging when a quest requires a specific mode of transport.

You are asking for something that would make it a shortcut for you. The entire point of the flying system as it is at the moment is obtaining the required currents as you go through the zone. So if a person would actually be doing the stories, quests, fates etc, they would eventually end up getting all of the currents before being done with the zone. And then come the flying quests, and then you can do them. So I understand both what you mean and the way it works at the moment... But since it would only be a small marker I won't argue against it. But OP, you will end up flying. Trust me.
