If you found a ton of gear in one biome and move to another biome, all of the gear found from the first biome will have their stats reduced to a bare minimum. Arbitrary Equipment Restriction: All gear are locked to the region they are found in.You'll be given a hang glider temporarily to make a safe landing, even if you didn't find one in the current region. When you use a town's flight eagle, it'll dump you off once you reach your destination high in the air.
This also applies for occasions when a monster wanders into town and attacks the citizens. Should you slay an NPC that's linked to a function like changing your class or selling items, leaving the town and returning or letting time pass will spawn a new one so you aren't screwed.
