Navigating the expansive map of Palworld can be a daunting task, often requiring players to scale treacherous cliffsides or find the right flying companions. Fortunately, a variety of flying mounts can significantly ease travel, with some offering superior speed and stamina management.
Early Game Flying Mounts
In the early stages of the game, particularly between levels 15 and 32, two flying mounts stand out. The Nitewing is the first flying Pal players can acquire. While relatively slow, it serves as an accessible option. Upon reaching level 21, players can craft the Vanwyrm saddle, making the Vanwyrm a more capable early-game choice. The Vanwyrm is faster than the Nitewing and boasts both Fire and Dark elemental typing.
Mid-Game Progression
Mid-game flying mounts in Palworld do not offer a significant leap in performance over their early-game counterparts, suggesting that players may not need to invest heavily in acquiring multiple new flying Pals during this phase. The Ragnahawk is generally considered the best option for this period. It is relatively easy to find and its saddle can be unlocked without a lengthy wait. The Ragnahawk is a Fire-type Pal.
Late-Game and Ultimate Mounts
As players progress into the late game, particularly after reaching the southwestern island near the level 68 PIDF Tower, the Suzaku Aqua becomes a prime candidate for a flying mount. These Pals are commonly found near the Azure Tapestry fast travel point. The Suzaku Aqua, a Water-type Pal, is highly effective for reaching the aforementioned island, which is home to the game's fastest flying mount.
At the pinnacle of Palworld's flying mounts is the Jetragon. This Dragon-type Pal is not only the fastest mount available but also consumes less stamina during flight and recovers it more quickly than others. Obtaining a Jetragon typically occurs late in the game. The Jetragon's location is marked on the map, situated on the northernmost island.
