Rocket Jumps and Hidden Flying Upgrade on the Siren Isle in Patch 11.0.7
Turns out flying might be possible on the Siren Isle after all, with Wings of the Siren suggesting that the Cyrce's Circlet may be the key.
Although we don't know exactly if or when flying will be unlocked, there are also other options for getting around the island, such as the Experimental Go-Pack: rocket assisted jumps which allow you to glide through the air!
Siren's Isle No-Flight Mechanics and Size
As of the first Patch 11.0.7 PTR build, there are two debuffs in Siren Isle that restrict flying:
- The first one is the previously reported High Winds, which is enabled at all times in Siren Isle.
- Once a storm event is started in Siren Isle, a second debuff shows up, Seafury Tempest, further emphasizing high winds making flight difficult on the isle.As of this PTR build, you're able to speak to an NPC and «choose» whether you want to be in a storm or not. Siren Isle during Seafury Tempest has different objectives and is overall more challenging, with many elite mobs and stronger rares.
Siren Isle is quite different with storms abound!
Wiith these mechanics in play, we could ask ourselves, will my experience in Siren Isle be bad without the ability to fly? We have discovered two mechanics allowing flight, but first let's talk a bit about the size of the new zone.
Although Siren's Isle has a fair amount of verticality, the isle itself is actually very small — Content creator SoulSoBreezy made size comparisons with other zones, and concluded that Siren Isle is smaller in terrain than Mechagon, which was already a small island even while it was current in Battle for Azeroth — And several leagues smaller than some of the more giant zones we have to this day, such as Isle of Dorn.
Now of course, whether you want flight or not is mostly subjective, but it is good to have a base for how big the isle is. With that being said, we found two ways to allow for flight (limited or not) in Siren Isle.
