The fae/arasai flying quest will be just like the freeblood one, must be lvl 85/86 and complete the quest just like everybody else who did the quest for the griffon. Theres nothing unfair about it, its just an aesthetic/lore thing. What it boils down to is that if you want to fly, either buy a pegasus or do a drawn out questline. period.
if you want to leap, get a leaper mount. its not nearly as time consuming a quest as the flying mount.
