[common sense] Druid flight form trick

[n00byn4t3r]

Yeah i know this is common sense, but im telling this for the people who don't know yet.

While in the druid flight form, you can also pick up items while flying, this comes in handy for those quests who say (for example) "get 20 pieces of wood from those tree's over there, but look out for the monsters that walk around it" but then you don't need to kill the mobs that walk around it because you can just fly above the (quest) item and start looting from the air

This also works for herbalism, i don't know about mining and skinning though.

again, common sense

edit #2: ok, this is the status:

Herbalism - works
skinning - maybe
mining - not possible

Doesnt work for mining/skinning (red.)

Indeed this is common sense...

Without doubt it works for skinning, herbalism, and all 'gathering' quest items.

All 'action oriented', such as mining or 'operating the harpoon mechanism', and similar, will indeed remove you from your flight form.

Another interesting note, if you have herbalism and therefor lifeblood, it can be used in all druid forms without breaking them, including cat form while stealthed, including shadowmeld.

Very helpful when you get that shadowmeld off in arena but only have 10% life left, an extra buffer before you pop out is nice.

If you don't play a druid.. then you don't need to know. Its common sense to anyone who's ever played a druid to that level.
Also to above.. Lifeblood was changed to be useable in stealth..

Common sense & WoW don't always go hand in hand though

Sigh... that is seriously common sense.

That's why we post these things over here :P

Most druids probably know about what I am gonna post, but you can change into flight form while treading water (or returning to the surface) if you time it right; for instance, there is a node at the bottom of a lake in Northrend/Outlands... druid dives in, gets node, swims to surface, jumps above surface, press "s" or whatever you have bound to walking backwards, then *quickly* shift into flight form at the top of the jump. I don't think it's even necessary to hit "s" if you're fast. For those who don't understand this, if there are any, it removes the need to swim to shore in order to resume flying.
