How to use desperate flight skill

[Sarond]

Hello, I (lvl 20 hunter) have just acquired the desperate flight skill, but how can I use it? I bought some travelling rations... Do I have to eat those first, before I can use the skill? When I right click on the rations in my bag or on the skill nothing happens... Can anybody help please?

Drag the icon for desperate flight to your hotbar, and providing you have travelling rations you should just be able to click on the icon and it will take you to the nearest safe spot [ ring of stones ]. Be aware though, this only takes you.. not the group [if you are grouped]

Yeah did all that, but still nothing happens when I click on the icon... Do I have to be in a certain situation for it to work or does it work when I'm not in danger as well... just want to try it... so I know it's reliable in a dangerous situation...

PS: The words in the desperate flight description that say I need travelling rations are violet... does that mean anything maybe?

No, you can use the player made travelling rations [ from your friendly cook] or the ones bought from any NPC provisioner. To be honest, I've never used it in combat, only when I'm feeling lazy and cant be bothered to run somewhere :P

as Jenna said, as long as you have traveling rations in your inventry you should simply be able to use the skill like any of your others by clicking the icon in your quick slot bar. It can be used anywhere and at anytime and it is an incredibly useful skill, if as above you are simply feeling lazy as I do a lot(i mean who wants to run everywhere!), or if you are in a fight you are sure your not going to win, as long as you dont leave it to late to hit the button you'll be fine, it does have a short induction timer but nothing major. This is an especialy entertaining skill in the Ettenmoors as it really anoys monsters if you disapear just before they get the kill :P

Used it for the very first time today and it's a nice skill for thm lazy people :)

It wont work whilst you are moving, but in or out of combat whilst stationary and it should be fine.

You sure about that? Afaik cooks can't make travelling rations :(

Hi Sarond, I noticed from your first post that you are right clicking the icon, I'm pretty sure that you have to left-click it. Hope that helps and wasn't so obvious that you already tried it. :)

Yeah sorry, my mistake was thinking of other rations

Nice to see you got it sorted

It doesn't matter if you click right or left.

yeah, it doesn't matter now, they fixed it the Evendim update.
