New Flight Masters have been added to those zones in which a realm did not previously have one. Now, players will be able to take a Flight Master from any zone in the game. Where a realm does not have a warcamp in a given zone, the Flight Master has been placed in a Chapter Hub instead. Below is a list of the Chapter Hubs where new Flight Masters have been added:
* Mount Bloodhorn, Greenskin Chapter 4
* Norsca, Empire Chapter 4
* Ostland, Empire Chapter 8
* Talabecland, Empire Chapter 14

* Ellyrion, High Elf Chapter 9
* Saphery, High Elf Chapter 14
* Ekrund, Greenskin Chapter 4
