Oh wait… I can! Wooooooo!
Ok I’ve calmed down a bit now, I’ve just finished the flying mount line for crafters in EQ2. Yeah I know I could have grown one from an egg by now but hey, I’ve been busy.
Anyway I finished the last quest today and chose the Boreal Gryphon as my shiny new mount. I jumped on and flew around a bit in the Great Divide before deciding that the scenary was boring, it’s all a bit white you see, something about the snow. You think I’d love it with Yetian being a Barbarian and all but there’s only so much white snow you can see before it gets a bit much on the old eyes, though seeing the odd Dwarven head popping through the snow as they trudge through never gets old.
Anyway onto the mount again, well it erm it can fly and walk and oh did I say fly? Oh and as mine is fairly quiet I’m naming it after our none voice activated guildie Milkyjoe.
Well pics to follow but first a bit about the controls. To take off just press jump when running, jump also raises your height though most of the time I use mouse view (right click for me) to angle the griffon. That’s pretty much all I’ve worked out so far, there’s a nice animation as you bank sharply left or right well I think it’s nice.
Well enough rambling you want to see the damn thing don’t you? Well you don’t really have a choice, what follows are a few shiny pics I quickly took as I flew around (mostly) Antonica. Maybe I should do a flying tour of Norrath?
