Strategy
Flight is useful in areas where water is common, such as the Swamp or Shoals. Having flight on hand can help you avoid or fight monsters wherever water and lava are present. While many monsters in the aforementioned Lair branches swim faster than the average player, flight still prevents many of the penalties while fighting in water, including its effect on invisibility.
A ring of flight can be swapped in whenever needing to cross water or lava, similar to a potion of enlightenment, at the temporary cost of a ring slot.
History
- Prior to 0.27, flight was a temporary ability. You could evoke the ring for 3 MP, with a failure rate that scaled down with Evocations. You could not extend the duration of the effect by evoking the ring while already flying.
- The ring of flight was introduced in 0.12, replacing the ring of levitation.
