Overview
The Hover Skiff is a crafted flying mount designed for efficient cargo transport. It features a unique weight reduction system that makes it ideal for hauling large quantities of resources across long distances. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Argentavis for fast deployment.
Players typically tame the Hover Skiff to serve as a mobile supply carrier, especially when paired with high-capacity flyers for resource runs.
