Drake Flute

The Drake Flute is a specialised item that allows the hunter to play a flute which immediately sends a wingdrake at the hunters position which allows the hunter to grapple onto the wingdrake - if within a normal locale or a normal hunt, the wingdrake will either casually drop them at the monsters position (only if the monster is marked/discovered/paintballed) or drops them at camp - playing the flute twice while grappled signifies the wingdrake to send the hunter to the camp while playing the flute once signifies the wingdrake to send the hunter to the monsters position - if the flute isn't played at all while grappled, the wingdrake will drop you in a random part of the map although extremely rarely will drop you into secret parts of the locale (including parts of the locale that can only be accessed with the utility of this flute).

The flute has a risk of breaking after 3 uses - up to 3 Drake Flutes can be equipped at a time.

Special Note
While the item isn't exactly a necessity for normal hunts - it is arguably absolutely essential during fights against Arnamurus, Disufiroa, and Shogori'Khazath as the mentioned 3 have tectonic-tier attacks that can affect the entire locale that they're fought in which requires the hunter to be airborne and away from the ground.

Note: This item can also be used to avoid being hit by Behemoth's Eccliptic Meteor.

Combination
Flute + G'Drake Sac

Note

 * G'Drake Sacs can be obtained by large wingdrakes such as Great Barnos, Undreos and Odukhoso.


 * Created to grant the hunter a fair advantage during large AOE-fest fights but also has a multi-utility aspect to it which can be useful outside of fights.


 * The wingdrake that drops down is typically a domesticated Mernos.
