Can a Druid Fly?

▶

A druid can indeed fly, but not in the classical sense, as they have the ability to transform into a flight form, such as a bird, which allows them to soar through the skies, and this flight form can be learned at level 68. The druid’s ability to fly is an integral part of their class and is a key aspect of their connection to nature and the elements, with certain **specifications and *restrictions*, such as the need for *expert riding* and the inability to fly in certain zones, like Dragonflight.
