Flying Mount "Tricks"

[Seilahyn]

I remember back in the day doing flips on my flying mounts. You held a button while flying forward and you did somersaults. If you released the button at the right time you could even fly completely upside down until you tried to turn. I've seen people doing it in town, but I can't remember how. I've tried pressing random buttons and nothing. It's been bugging me and I really need to know again.

I've also seen people doing ground mount type "spacebar" idle roars with some of the flying mounts. I'm very curious as to how they're doing them as when you hit space you simply just hop up into the air when on a flying mount. I've mostly seen people doing them when they use some sort of "freeze" which makes them go green and stick in whatever animation they were doing. Guessing it's some sort of potion/item that is doing the freezing, but.. how are they getting it to DO the animation?

Sorry if it's not entirely appropriate of the section, but I figured since it's about mounts that it would be best to ask here.

Been wanting to know this since Tbc! I was so jelly. I'm with you on this, I wanna know!

It's the "INS" and "DEL" Key that can be held down to do front and or backflips.

Hmm...
I do it with autofly.
Just hit the "Num"-key and after that hold the 0 on your numbersblock.
Hold it until you are upsite down and then just stop hold the 0.

I hope you get it, can't explain it in better english =(

You can check in your keybinds which buttons make you flip--it's called something like "Pitch" and something else.

You can fly upside down like this, or even better, fly upside down & backwards low over the ground!

/mountspecial is what makes your flyer do cool animations on the ground.

Lastly, Deepstone Oil, alchemy-made, is what makes people freeze in place doing whatever they're doing, /mountspecial included!

Hehe awesome! Ins and Del worked for me too, with NumLock on.

While trying it out NPCScan went off on Tarvus the Vile, so this might be lucky!


I think I will do this all day every day. Yep, I'm THAT easily entertained.

Just wanna add that the circle Del thing works while swimming too ^^ Didn't know that, now i do!

Petopia: the moar you know.

[Seilahyn]

Thanks all. I shall do flips and roars happily now.

I had no idea what the keybind was called so I probably wouldn't have found it while looking through the list. I probably would have skipped right over "Pitch" since it didn't even stick out to me.

Anywho, atleast I helped someone else out with my topic, too! =D

I just removed this since I just tried to do it and now I can't get it to go back to normal >> reset incoming
