Take to the skies on your own flying vehicle. From level 55 you train as a pilot, soar across the open world, and climb a full progression of piloting ranks — from Novice Pilot all the way to Sky Dancer.
Overview
Flight lets you take to the skies on a personal flying vehicle — soaring over the open world, reaching places ground travel can't, and climbing a whole progression of piloting skill. It's one of the most satisfying quality-of-life upgrades in Forsaken World, and it opens up at level 55.
Flying is more than decoration. Beyond quick travel between locations, it lets you take on special aerial quests and join battles against flying monsters and other players high above the map. The more you fly, the higher your piloting skill climbs — earning faster speeds, prestige titles, and the freedom of the open sky.
Flying vehicles are their own system, separate from wings — you learn to pilot them once you train at level 55.
Getting Started
When you reach level 55, visit Carlotta Star in Hossinger at Twilight Rest. She offers the quest "Flight: Dance in the Sky." There's nothing to grind for it — simply agree to the training.
Carlotta Star
On completion you receive:
a temporary (7-day) flying device, the Flying Barrel;
Spirit Power Pollen (flight-energy fuel) and some Spirit Leaves;
your first flight title, Novice Pilot, and level-1 piloting skill.
You can check your current piloting level any time in your character attributes (hotkey C).
How the Flight System Works
Once you have a flying vehicle, mount it by right-clicking its icon in your inventory (or double-clicking it). The flight control window appears:
Here's what the controls do:
Boost (hotkey E) — a high-speed flight mode. It sharply increases your movement speed (how much depends on your vehicle) and consumes both flight energy and mana.
Up — hotkey Space.
Down — hotkey X.
Flight energy — your Boost fuel; it recovers slowly on its own.
Minimize.
Watch your mana. Mana drains steadily while flying — keep recovery potions handy so your vehicle doesn't deactivate mid-air and drop you. In PvP the mana drain is noticeably higher (the exact rate is listed on your vehicle).
Boost Mode
Switching into Boost changes the flight window:
Your movement speed jumps significantly, and flight energy drains while it's active.
Flight Energy
Flight energy recovers slowly by itself, so most pilots top it up with consumables sold by Carlotta Star — Spirit Power Pollen, Spirit Power Shard, and Spirit Power Crystal, in ascending order of how much energy they restore. A stronger option, Essence of Spirit Power (from Eyrie's Shop), refills a large amount at once.
Raising Your Piloting Level
After you learn level-1 piloting, two new bars appear in your character attributes:
Flight — the flight energy your Boost mode draws on.
Time — flight time banked toward your next piloting level. You earn it simply by flying.
To rank up you'll also need Heavenly Orders.
How to accumulate flight time
Fly, fly, and fly some more — every minute in the air counts toward your next level.
Where to get Heavenly Orders
Heavenly Orders can be exchanged for Honor Guard points with Irene Tarris, bought from Carlotta Star, or picked up at the auction house.
Ranking up
Once you've banked enough flight time and gathered the Orders, return to Carlotta Star and take the next piloting quest (for example, "Piloting Skill: 2nd Level"), handing in a Heavenly Order. You'll climb to the next piloting tier and earn its title. Each higher tier asks for progressively more accumulated flight time and more Heavenly Orders, and rewards bundles of flight-energy consumables and vehicle paint.
Painting Your Flying Vehicle
Some parts of a flying vehicle start out a plain grey — left that way on purpose so you can customise the look yourself.
Carlotta Star handles the painting:
Place your vehicle in the Fly. Vehicle slot and your paint in the Paint slot (any amount at or above the requirement works). The game tells you which parts will be painted and how much paint is needed. Each painting costs a small fee.
Piloting Titles
You earn a new title at every piloting tier — a visible badge of how far you've taken to the skies:
Q: When can I start flying?
A: At level 55, after training with Carlotta Star in Hossinger. Flying vehicles are their own system, separate from wings.
Q: What drops me out of the air?
A: Running out of mana deactivates your vehicle, so keep mana potions on hand — especially in PvP, where the drain is higher.
Q: How do I fly faster?
A: Use Boost mode (hotkey E) for a burst of speed — it spends flight energy. Higher piloting levels and better vehicles help too.
Q: How do I level up piloting?
A: Just keep flying — every minute adds flight time — then turn in Heavenly Orders to Carlotta Star to advance to the next tier.
