Same familiars not created equal?
I have made an observation where two people with the same tag, same familiar load out, same player class and same gear, same familiar, etc one can fly to 700m and the other can fly over 1000m. Why is this?

Another quick example: If I am on a Terror Krev I fly to 950m and someone on a pegasus or Silver Laiku can reach over 1000m.
I require a mission to receive "The Breach Warp Pass" so that I can join friends at the breach.

Where as others can just fly straight there; Again nothing special just the default setting on their familiar.

It's exactly the same if I want to help take down Jumawu; I cant reach the 1000m it requires to battle.

What am I missing? I appreciate your expertise.

Titles can affect familiar height, and there are altitude potions. Aside from those or gear bonuses each type of familiar should have a base max altitude. For example, Terror Kerav has a max altitude of 950m. If you activated the Rift Rider title on your character then it's max altitude would go up to 1150m and you could reach the Breach no problem. If that isn't an option the Shipmate title adds 30m to max familiar altitude and you can buy altitude potions to raise it even more temporarily.

I'm sorry if this doesn't quite answer your question but I've never seen two characters that were stacked identically on the same familiar with different max altitudes.

Thanks for your reply. I totally agree and I do switch the title now to reach those heights but I hate loosing the "all stats" buff when I do so; kind of a bummer.

But yeah, me and a friend stripped all our gear off, used the same mount without gear and changed our title to the same thing and I capped at 850m and they went over 1000m no issue. Im not sure what is causing this to be honest.

Familiar gear lso increases the height, you could craft level 30 rare gear, it increases the ma altitude your familiars can fly by 100, the recipe for it is sold by the barder crafting merchant It will also have the benefit that your familiar will fly faster.

that's not really possible, you are wrong, not the game. why dont you tell us your titles, your mounts, and gears on mounts? maybe that would give better information for us than this "nothing" you just spat here. then we could use simple maths.

Maybe I am doing a bad job explaining this.

The two players are exactly identical with the same familiar but one has the abilty to fly higher some how.

Player and familiar are stripped of all gear. No gear in any slots.

Both have the Millionare Title

Both use the Pegasus (one example), one can fly over 1000m the other can not.

I know this sound impossible and I agree with you but this is why I am asking this question.

well if this really happened to you, try to make a video about it and post on youtube or send a ticket to support about it. same familiars should do their jobs equally, sounds more like a bug to me, but i have never seen anything like this before

Since you said this was with the pegasus I have to ask, were they both tamed in the rift? Pegasus was sold in the shop a while ago and I wonder if there would be a difference in stats. It's also possible your friend is messing with you and lying about mount gear or using altitude potions

Isn't a talisman or something that give more familiar altitude from the daily reward ?
