Eggs literally drop from bosses. Except instead of a joint that gets passed around, it's a super prestige item for the chosen ones.

And if you want to see the world from above, tautau said one way and the other one is literally climbing a mountain and using a gliding mount to jump off the peak. Half the map is littered with mountainous regions.

In other words, go jump off a cliff.

That's a good idea though. Have a node building that's either a huge tower or some sort of "cannon" that launches you into the air where you can then summon your mount (or it launches you on the mount).

I'm just gonna drop this here, from the last flying mount thread two days ago.
Everyone here is looking at flying mount as a prestige thing, and that perspective makes sense from the majority of players. But that's not what they're for. They are command & control outposts for sieges, large battles, major PvP or PvE events. They are a gameplay mechanic with tactical value.

If you're sieging a metropolis, their mayor can fly safely over the battlefield, and give orders, sight sneak attacks, and bring back reconnaissance. These mounts might be prestige, but that's a small secondary benefit. They are a powerful tactical tool which allows you to put your commander in the absolute ideal position on the battlefield.

People are thinking in terms of "the prestige being less because it goes away". That's not what it is. Earning a flying mount from high-level raid content is a way of gaining a tactical advantage to equal your opponent's and give you another powerful tool to siege the metropolis or take the castle you've had your eye on. It absolutely makes sense for that buff (like a siege scroll) to be a temporary thing. It's preparation and buildup for a server-level event, not some personal "look how cool I am" for top-end raiders.

What you describe is a massive tactical advantage in high-end content. It's intended to be a buff, not a 'gear piece', and I feel they should keep it that way.
