Fly path toy are now 'scouting maps'. They give all the fp but also discovery credit of the zones (without the xp), so if you use them you can't get exploration xp. Available for all expansion provided you have the explorer achiev for said expansion. 10k gold from the heirloom vendor

So I recently rolled a new iron, and per usual, fired up the two Alliance Scouting Maps for Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Whoa - you get every flight path. You also have essentially scouted all maps, but without the discovery XP. So far, I didn't realize how much discovery XP adds up, especially at lower levels. Leveling feels slower as a result. Also, only once was I glad I had the FP's - it is in Badlands where you are in Dustwind Dig and you get the quest to head over to Dragon's Mouth. That can be a run for your life trying to get there without being attacked - was able to just fly there since I have the FP. But overall, think next toon I roll, I will NOT use the scouting map toys, cause I'd rather have the XP.

yeah it is a mixed blessing. Since they are account wide. It is possible to learn them all but only use the ones you don't really expect to explore anyway (so a toon can usesay Kalimdor but not Eastern Kingdoms, or only Outlands)

This new toon's leveling speed is dragging. Discovery XP is significant, thus losing out on discovery XP is really slowing down leveling. Not gonna make that mistake again. Maybe after you get to 30 and have flight, or even wait till 50. I definitely do not like this new version of the FP toy.

the scouting map for shadowlands will give all the fp and exploration, so bloodthirsty can use it to go to any zone instead of being stuck in Bastion (since they can't choose 'thread of fate')
