Less
than a year out from its initial launch, Perfect World has already
seen two expansions and an exponential growth of players.



One of the systems that makes Perfect World International stand apart
from most MMORPGs is its mounts system. Similar to other MMOs, there
are both ground and flying mounts. However, Perfect World is unique in
that flying mounts are combat enabled. This unlocks an entirely new
style of combat and adds a new dimension to PvP.



Characters first gain access to flight at level 30, with the exception
of the Winged Elf race. Winged Elves are able to fly at level 1,
however, their wings will consume mana until they reach level 30.



To unlock flight, characters must undertake their race’s
flying mount quest. After a character has obtained their flying mount,
they can fly anywhere and everywhere, with no penalty to their mana
pool.



Each race has their own unique mode of air transportation:


  • Humans (Blademasters and
    Wizards) use Flying Swords. Their starting
    mount is a magical sword called Celestial Fly.



  • Untamed (Barbarians and
    Venomancers) ride Flying Beasts. Their starting
    mount is a giant stingray called Wave Pacer.



  • Winged Elves (Archer and
    Cleric) have Wings. Their starting set is
    called Eagle’s Wing, which you may be able to guess, look
    like Eagle wings.

Once your character has taken to the skies, you will notice entirely
new sets of flying mobs to battle. Flying monsters actually give
players 1.5 times the normal experience points you get from fighting
ground based creatures.  Flight is also conversely the best
for avoiding mobs as you travel—go as high as possible, set
your destination and off you go!



In keeping with the spirit of customization possible in Perfect World
International, players are not stuck with one flying
mount—there are many options to choose from if you want to
change your ride. Perhaps you are a Blademaster who would like the glow
of your Flying Sword to match the refining glow of your armor. Or a
Cleric who wishes to cultivate a cute and dainty appearance can choose
the Sparklebright butterfly wings.



Check out some examples below how Flying Mounts can add another layer
of customization:

player economy of cash shop users and non-cash shop users,
everyone—spender or not—has access to the variety
of Flying Mounts available in Perfect World International.
