This is confusing me a little bit. . .

Alliance is my primary main side. Okay, cool. I leveled a horde, and he's now 68. I figured, since the tome allowed it at 68, I could train the actual flying at 68, but it still requires 77. Since I don't have a horde capable of purchasing the book, do I have to wait until 77 before I can fly on him?

Commento di Xamanes

This Tome is a nice addition for anyone who loves leveling alts.

Commento di 387132

Would be nice if they just changed the level of witch you can train Cold weather flying to 70 or somthing like that.
Would make it easier on both new peeps and for those who have more accounts or starting alts on diffrent servers.

Commento di Sylvandas

You are not Richard Tyler, you can not fly this book.

Commento di 229037

Yeah, that cleared it up. I actually thought you don't need to buy CWF on your alts after you've leveled a toon to 80, but meh :( Thanks

Commento di 435103

Do I have to be lvl 80 to buy it, or can I buy it in lvl 77? And with out Cold Weather Flying, can I fly in Northrend just with this item?

Commento di 104588

Cons: staying on the ground as normal is best for max XP and min quests until 77, because of all the extra few mobs that you don't fly over.

Questing speed: the intent is to maximise quests at 80 to get more gold, as done in BC. Using rested XP, Cold Weather Flying, Epic Flying, Dual Spec can be got for the alt simply by doing all quests, that's 7000g+. This cannot be done by rushing questing. The zones before Storm Peaks are designed for ground mounts anyway, so there is no flight advantage due to the way quests are clustered on the ground. Also flight paths are faster than any mounts.
Dismounting: dismounting by mobs is not an issue at any level, use the road!
"There is no con of flying mount": but you also state yourself "the difference is, with ground mount, you are bound to kill more mobs". That is the whole point, all that XP adds up. 1k rested per mob, 10-20k per quest. It is only advantageous to skip mobs once at 80 ...

Commento di alexataide

Do I have to have 300 riding skill to read it or can I just buy the book and tada, use my flying carpet?

Commento di 336987

Cold Weather Flying simply allows you to use your flying mounts in Northrend. All those people on 150% mounts (poor bastards that they are) can fly in Northrend, obviously, so you aren't any different. Get the tome, send to alt, quicker leveling.

Commento di Conal

Okay, let me add my two cents:

I leveled my DK to 77 first (before my other alts) and paid 1000g for Cold Weather Flying (CWF)---the option to buy the tome was not available to me at that time. However, once I reached level 80 I went back to the CWF trainer and the tome was available for purchase for 1000g (same amount as what I paid already), even though I'd already trained for it at level 77.

Now, since I've trained CWF and reached level 80 for the first time with my DK, I no longer have to wait until level 77 on any of my level 68+ alts (as I did with my DK) to train for CWF but I will need to purchase a tome for each and every one of my alts on which I choose to train CWF.

Simply put: My 80 DK buys a tome (for 1000g) and mails it to my 76 lock who then 'reads' it and can now fly using a 150% speed flying mount (he's too poor to afford an epic yet). And since I just got my rogue to Northrend my DK can purchase yet another tome for 1000g and mail it to my rogue so that alt can fly in Northrend.

Hope this helps.

Commento di gecko

Would it be possible to buy this, mail it to my lvl 44 warlock, transfer the warlock to a server where i only have a lvl 70 and mail the book to that char?

Commento di diet

Possibly, but in reality this book has the following purpose:

It's this simple.

You have a level 80 toon of 'X' faction.
You have a level 68 toon of also 'X' faction.
You buy this book on the level 80, and mail it to the level 68. As all BOA items can ONLY be mailed.
All of this takes place on the same server, and the same faction.
You can now fly earlier since you already leveled to 80 once before. congratulations.

That's it, that's all it does, it IS used up, it has 1 charge, you have to be level 80 to buy it, to see the vendor at all, you cannot trade it to other people, no someone else cannot buy it for you just like any other BOA or BOP item. Can it be faction swapped/server transferred? Can any other BOA item? If yes, then yes it can, if no, then no it can't. Nothing more to say, no need for more question, that's it.

Edit for people who don't understand flying: This, as does the normal Cold Weather Training, does 1 thing and 1 thing only, it upgrades your current flying skill to be usable in Northrend, that's all it does. Does it make it so you can learn flying mounts? No, that's riding training, that's entirely different, go look it up. All this does, just as normal Cold Weather Training from the trainer at level 77 does, is upgrade your abilities to work in Northrend.

Commento di thebbandit

I just bought this tome for my shammy and now im leveling twice as fast in northrend! great addition!

Commento di ZanathKariashi

Now that faction swaps are up, if you're willing to spent the time and cash, once you've maxed all but one of the classes you want on a server, you can load up a charcter with all the hierloom items, inculding this book, and then faction swap to the other side. And if nessecary, then swap realms if you're hurting for space. It'll set you back 55 dollars...but...might be worth it just so all that crap you spent your time and emblems on isn't going to waste due to having 1 of every class already.

Commento di 465608

Can you transfer this book to another server?
I got my 80 on a different server then my alt, so can you transfer the book?

Commento di 24394

I've put 2 characters through northrend before the introduction of this tome, and while the first time was an amazing new experience because the quests were new and the continent as a whole is stunning. The second time through, it seemed quite tedious and at points fairly boring. This book will remedy that on my next character(s) i put through NR.

Commento di 374229

It's a shame when people all ~~crazy~~ excited when they see this item. They see the whole "Requires Level 68" and for the people who are just running through the game for the first time are probably thinking "woo I can fly at 68", sadly this is not the case.

Rule if you're flicking through these comments:

Got a level 80? Then you can get this item.
No level 80? Then you cannot get this item.

I'll admit, Blizzard didn't really make it very obvious to players, even now on my realm, people are still questioning it....

Commento di Fione

Also of note: You actually have to mail this book to the character who needs to use it. Don't be fooled into thinking because it is account bound, that you can send to another character on a different server. In reality it's server bound. It won't show up automatically on all characters account-wide, like pets etc sent by blizzard and truly are account bound.

Commento di 12719

If you have more than one account under the same user, like what is now required with Blizzard's new login system through Battlenet, can you mail the book from your level 80 on one account to a level 68 on the other? And of course, will he be able to use it to get CWF at level 68? Same server, same faction, same account owner. Will that work?

Commento di 307900

If this is consumed after read what does your player do ?
eat it or something?

Commento di 471700

I only have one real huge negative to comment about regarding this whole issue. When you first get to Outland and purchase the Expert riding skill and Gryphon, the tooltip says "This Mount can only be summoned in Outland and Northrend".

THAT IS NOT TRUE! It can only be summoned in Outland. There are ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS to summon your Gryphon in Northrend that are NOT STATED. That is extremely irritating. It should not say that you can summon the Gryphon in Northrend without qualifying that statement. I just spent nearly an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't fly around in Northrend. No mention of it anywhere in the help file, or the player guide... just simply irritating.

So now, after going to 4 different non-Blizzard forums, I am finaly aware of the fact that I must stay on the ground in Northrend until Level 80, or 77 depending on which post I read. All that is fine and I can wait. Just wish the game would make some sort of attempt to communicate that as a requirement when you purchase a mount that is described as being able to be summoned in Northrend or Outland.

So there.

Commento di 496940

This item is now definitely mailable cross-faction (on the same account, obviously).

Commento di 153186

I just wanted to confirm that you can mail this across faction lines. I just did it from my Alli 80 toon to my 68 Horde on same server. You can not send anything else. No gold no items. You might be able to send other BOA items also. I have not tried this.

I also have not attempted to send across servers although I see this as problematic for it to be working.

Consumed when used... hope it tastes good.

Commento di 488990

Love this thing, really speeds up things when leveling up from 68 & entering northrend.

Commento di Zorrah

Or how about not having it being "used" upon reading it.

1000g....? make it 2000g or something and have it stay permanent so you can use it with all your alts.

Commento di FourDeuce

It might be a change to the system, but you can now see it on lower level characters when you make it to Northrend and check with the vendor.

Another minor point, once you buy the book and send it to your level 68 character, they can learn Cold Weather Flying before they ever set foot in Northrend. I did it on one of mine. Had the Cold Weather Flying skill before I got on the boat.

Commento di Frsh

Sure thingie, I do have lvl 80 character... I do have 2 accounts. Sadly i decided to stick with the one w/o any 80 so I'm forced to jump from +280 flying form to +100% ground mount. You have no idea how it hurts leveling experience, when you actually know how it looks like in 3D.

Commento di Dudeplessis17

For those who might wonder this count as a BoA item and thus is tradable across faction like any other BoA item

Commento di Ashkallon

I urge any alt to make sure they have this, as it trivialises levelling up in Northrend.

yes you miss out on a lot of "Grind Exp" (as in killing mobs to and from your destination) but that pales into insignificance once you realise you can pretty much daisy-chain your quests and do them all very fast indeed.

You can literally accept a Quest - swoop down on your flying mount and do the Quest - then fly back to the Questgiver in moments. Not minutes.

Plus, with Northrend's focus on rapid questing you're never likely to run out of Quests before you're ready to go to the next zone. Also, since everyone using this Tome has to be an Alt, there's a very high chance they will also have the +10% Exp Shoulders and/or Chest too.

Amazing levelling speed.

Commento di 562338

Apparently I have done something wrong or missed something.

I have four level 80's. My fifth (upcoming) is my first alt to level up since the 3.3 patch. Once reaching level 70 and planning to come to Northrend, I bought the BoA tome for Cold Weather Flying and sent 5,000 gold to my new level 70. I read the tome, trained the Artisan Riding Skill and bought an Epic Flyer. I was all set to go racing around Northrend.

Imagine my surprise when I couldn't fly in Howling Fjord. Upon clicking the "Summon Mount" button, I get a nice red reply: "You can't do that here".

I can summon a ground mount just fine. No flyer. What did I miss?

EDIT:
I have solved the problem. I sent the tome and cash to my alt (as mentioned above) and took the level 70 to Wildhammer Hold to buy the Epic Flyer (hoping for a faction discount). I trained the skill, bought the mount and READ THE TOME there. Upon hearthing back to Valgarde, I could not summon the flying mount.

Solution:
I bought ANOTHER tome, sent it to my alt while IN Valgarde, read the book and he can now fly just fine.

Warning to anyone that hasn't tried to get the heirloom tome yet, but plans to:have your alt read the Tome of Cold Weather Flying while IN Northrend or it WILL NOT work.

Commento di 324179

is in 3.3.3 possible to buy it without an 80?

Commento di 579961

Ok, I have an 80 on one account and a 72 on a second account. If I transfer my 72 to the first account so that my 80 can buy this and give it to her and then transfer the 72 back to her original account will she then 'lose' the cold-weather flying ability?

Commento di 585210

quick question,

my boyfriend was able to purchase one by his level 80 and mail it to his 72 alt. it worked perfectly. now the question is, we are not on the same account, so can I mail his 80 1000 gold and let him purchase it for me and mail it back to me? since I know it works between a persons own account, can it cross over and be traded to other accounts, a la from my boyfriends account to me between his 80 and my 73? thanks for reading this over :)

Commento di 178486

This is how the deal works. The item is like Heirloom, actually it is. if you have a lvl 80 you buy the book for your lower lvl character and he/she can learn cold weather flying at a lower lvl as normal (77). I thought it could be learned at lvl 70 already:)

Commento di wtfoomnofair

As mentioned before. This item behaves as any heirloom item. Means you can send it to your alt even if your alt belongs to the other faction.

Commento di logical

As of 4.0.1 you are not able to buy this from the trainer anymore :( bug?

Commento di Graveworm

As of patch 4.01 this tome is gone. You can learn cold weather flying at 68 from a trainer.

Commento di settings66

Im sorry doesn't BS-FU sound a bit rude? or is it just me? :P

Commento di settings66

as of patch 4.01 this item is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I know it sucks, i went to buy it for my newly level 68 hunter and it was not there! hopefully this will soon be fixed.
I guess i'll have to spend my 1000g elsewhere!

Edit=its now 500g and why hasn't this been rated up? come on!

Commento di LuckyJack

The Tome of Cold Weather Flying is removed from the game in patch 4.0.1

In exchange you can visit any northrend (and possibly other) flight trainers, and learn the Cold Weather Flying @ level 68 for a reduced price of 500 Gold (against the 1000 Gold for the Tome of Cold Weather Flying in patch 3.3.5).

So all in all it's improved, only you have to visit the trainer with the character yourself instead of reading a book send by your alt.

Commento di 359630

As of Patch 4.0.1, the Tome of Cold Weather Flight has been removed.

Level 68+ characters can now learn Cold Weather Flying from 3 different trainers:

* Hira Snowdawn, located near the Flight Master at Krasus' Landing in Dalaran.
* Pilot Vic, located near River's Heart in Sholazar Basin.
* Roxi Ramrocket, located at K3 in the Storm Peaks.

Commento di Woetoo

The tome is no longer sold. However, you can visit a riding trainer and learn Cold Weather Flying for 500g at level 68.
(Including the Riding Trainer in Boring Tundra and Howling Fjord.... No need to go to Dalaran for it).

Commento di lightshammer

Thanks lots, guys! You answered the question I was here for. uprated all of you.

Commento di 480051

To bad it is consumed when read, because you could have kept this before the patch and transfered it between toons and saved lots of gold.

Commento di alexko9

As of 4.0.3 this is 100G if im not mistaken.

Commento di 618053

Find this stupid that they removed it. Mate wanted the flying on his alt but on Alliance and all his mains were on Horde, with no money on Alliance, it's not exactly fantastic..

Commento di 359139

I just bought the cold weather flying from the trainer in Stormwind for 425g.

Commento di seahen

They should change this to grey and give it a vendor sell price of 1000 gold, to compensate people who already had one when it was removed and the price was cut.

Commento di Xarthat

Consumed when read... I guess that's why they're no longer in the game. All of those books where eaten by people who wanted to learn flying in Northrend early.

Commento di rayden54

Did they actually remove these from players if they'd already purchased one (and hadn't used it obviously)? Or did they just remove the ability to buy another one?

I can't tell from the comments.

Commento di 882384

"The tome is CONSUMED when read. Couldn't Blizz think up something like "Is used when read" Sounds pretty hilarious otherwise...

Commento di phantom325

This tome is no longer available.
However, you can buy Cold Weather Flying upon reaching level 68 from any flying trainer for 500 gold.

Commento di Tygerlilly

I just found three of these in the bank of an alt I haven't played in over two years. What a nice surprise!
