Unlocking Flight

After completing the main tradeskill signature quests, you unlock public researcher missions in Raj'Dur Plateaus, Takish Badlands, and Sandstone Delta. You will be unable to fly in any of these overland zones until you complete at least 15 of these research missions (combined -- so for instance, you can do 5 missions for each researcher to unlock flight), or by unlocking flight via the adventurer signature timeline.

The research missions are on a 3-hour timer that is universal for your server. To see how much time until the mission resets, go into your quest journal, click the "Mission Timers" tab at the top, filter for Renewal of Ro, and type in the word "research" in the filter by name bar at the bottom.
