Tried in Valdrakken and Dalaran on a level 61
I can still dragonfly if I select manually a mount that can

Watching the debug it seems dragonridable return false so the macro goes to flyable instead

Hotfixed and works if deleting the Cache folder as noted above

thanks

CrusaderEsper · Answer 2 · 2024-05-15T04:32:25.000Z

I was skeptical, but yes, deleting the Cache folder fixed the issue.

[21:29:03] Dump: value=IsAdvancedFlyableArea(), IsSpellKnown(376777), IsPlayerSpell(376777)
[21:29:03] [1]=true,
[21:29:03] [2]=true,
[21:29:03] [3]=true

All the dumps are true as well.

Are just a few of them where it has been mentioned.

There's a suggestion in one of those threads that

I just deleted the Cache folder – did not touch my WTF or Addons folders, figured I’d just try Cache first – and now rostrum and portals work and WQ rewards look like normal!

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/requires-level-70-issues-since-1027-release/1850503/66

Any chance that makes a difference?

mbattersby · Answer 5 · 2024-05-15T00:18:49.000Z

Saw this in the patch notes for today. Forlornly hoping it might fix this too:

Fixed an issue causing the Rostrum of Transformation to require level 70.

BTW please log this with blizzard in-game as a bug if you have the problem, I can't since I don't have it.

Malivil · Answer 6 · 2024-05-15T00:25:54.000Z

I'm still on the same version number as above and the dump results are the same

mbattersby · Answer 7 · 2024-05-15T00:27:13.000Z

Dammit Blizzard :(

CrusaderEsper · Answer 8 · 2024-05-15T00:57:27.000Z

It has been reported on the Blizzard forums along with the rostrum bug.

mbattersby · Answer 9 · 2024-05-15T03:39:12.000Z

Do you have a link to the forum post?

Malivil · Answer 10 · 2024-05-15T11:30:49.000Z

Deleting the Cache folder fixed it for me too. So weird...

CrusaderEsper · Answer 11 · 2024-05-10T01:26:44.000Z

Maybe because technically ALL zones are now dragonriding enabled? I was able to force it to use a dragonriding mount by just removing the checks and make dragonriding the primary.

mbattersby · Answer 12 · 2024-05-10T06:03:41.000Z

I don't think that config will work at all unless you have unlocked regular flying in Dragon Isles. Or did they remove the unlock for that?

Malivil · Answer 13 · 2024-05-10T01:53:41.000Z

It looks like IsAdvancedFlyableArea() is returning false for sub-70s for some reason now...

CrusaderEsper · Answer 14 · 2024-05-10T01:55:34.000Z

Maybe they consider only the future War Within areas as Advanced areas now?

Malivil · Answer 15 · 2024-05-10T01:56:50.000Z

If that's true, it was an undocumented change and... I think was a change in a hotfix because I swear this was working earlier today.

CrusaderEsper · Answer 16 · 2024-05-10T02:10:22.000Z

Isn't it just possible to confirm player level? Oh, but that wouldn't work because when the MoP Remix comes out, level 10 characters will be able to use dragonriding in the remixed Pandaria. Maybe that's what changed?

mbattersby · Answer 17 · 2024-05-10T02:07:51.000Z

Ugh what a massive pain in the butt. It definitely used to work, because (a) i tested it and (b) I would have been yelled at if not.

I don't 100% know what I can do if IsAdvancedFlyableArea() doesn't work because as far as I know there are still some areas (pre-dragonflight) where flying is allowed but dragonriding is not.

mbattersby · Answer 18 · 2024-05-10T02:18:30.000Z

I don't really know what it is that unlocks dragonriding any more. That might have changed also. It's likely that their server-side code for IsAdvancedFlyableArea() is designed to check for the DF account-wide unlock, which perhaps they have taken away.

A cow sized amount of Pandaria Remix issues have landed with 10.2.7 and its hotfixes.

Malivil · Answer 19 · 2024-05-10T02:22:43.000Z

Dragonriding unlocks with the campaign quest in the dragon isles for first characters and after that I think it's just the intro quest with Wrathion in Stormwind that's needed to unlock it. At least that's what it was when I made this character a few weeks ago.

CrusaderEsper · Answer 20 · 2024-05-10T02:29:35.000Z

The good news is that if you attempt to mount a dragonriding mount on a character that hasn't completed that quest, you can still ride the mount, it just won't be dynamic flight enabled.

CrusaderEsper · Answer 21 · 2024-05-10T02:42:41.000Z

I favorited a ground mount, a flying mount, and a dragonriding mount and clicked the summon favorite button. It would ONLY summon the Flying Mount on a level 68 character.

mbattersby · Answer 22 · 2024-05-10T02:39:36.000Z

Out of interest, does the "summon favorite" button in the journal do the right thing? I don't have any sub-70s any more.

Edit or the [advflyable] macro condition?

mbattersby · Answer 23 · 2024-05-10T03:55:51.000Z

I think this one will have to wait for a Blizzard fix :(

mbattersby · Answer 24 · 2024-05-10T04:03:59.000Z

Just curious whether you actually did the unlock questing on that character or not?

CrusaderEsper · Answer 25 · 2024-05-10T04:05:24.000Z

I don't have any characters that are level 60 and have not also gone to the dragon isles unfortunately, so I can't test that scenario.

Stanzilla/WoWUIBugs#568

mbattersby · Answer 27 · 2024-05-10T04:10:22.000Z

Can you try this and send me what it dumps (on one of the broken characters):

/dump IsAdvancedFlyableArea(), IsSpellKnown(376777), IsPlayerSpell(376777)

CrusaderEsper · Answer 28 · 2024-05-10T04:13:08.000Z

[21:11:57] Dump: value=IsAdvancedFlyableArea(), IsSpellKnown(376777), IsPlayerSpell(376777) [21:11:57] [1]=false, [21:11:57] [2]=true, [21:11:57] [3]=true
I should point out that I can still mount dragonriding mounts if I alter the conditions of the rules in LiteMount and they function as you would expect.

See this image for a config that works at level 68 https://imgur.com/FUIrhyx

mbattersby · Answer 29 · 2024-05-13T07:21:55.000Z

If this gets fixed (fairly likely with this week's Pandaria Remix patch) can someone let me know? I don't have any way to check.

mbattersby · Answer 30 · 2024-05-14T04:01:28.000Z

There's a new build out 10.2.7.54673 if anyone can check if it's fixed.

CrusaderEsper · Answer 31 · 2024-05-14T04:07:01.000Z

Still broken. The dump result is the same.

[21:05:52] Dump: value=IsAdvancedFlyableArea(), IsSpellKnown(376777), IsPlayerSpell(376777)
[21:05:52] [1]=false,
[21:05:52] [2]=true,
[21:05:52] [3]=true
