Is there a way to change the setting's of the flight mechanic so that when you land you can walk up stairs and through doorways etc? I'm spending a lot of time bumping in to things trying to get through openings since I started using the Draconic chestplate. I can't seem to find even a way to cycle the flight on and of without going in to the HUD, and even that seems to have some sort of "wearing off" period as the flight mechanic diminishes.

I may just have to swap out chestplates when in overworld.

I do know what you mean. I had to stop using the draconic armor. Personally I prefer the Ender IO Dark Steel armor with one of the wing rings. Seems a better fit for my play style. Also, I felt that the whole mod seems to be a little overpowered for what you have to put into it. I think it either needs to be scaled back a little or to have more of a progression before you can get that top tier equipment.

Considering you need nether stars and either mine an extremely long time in over world or go to the end to get enough draconium for just the first tier of armor, the massive raw total RF cost and number of nether stars required for Draconic armor and weapons, I don't see how that mod is OP.

Also, considering the purpose of the Draconic armor and weapons is to fight the Chaos Guardian, you will realize just how woefully underpowered they are when you take a hit from one of those. :D

I think in the future I'll just use the Draconic chestplate when I go after the Chaos Guardian again, man that's a mean Boss lol, and use the enderium model the rest of the time.
Also, I'm not positive but I think not having a full set of Draconic armor is a mistake when going after that thing. I'm thinking you get an overall bonus for a full set, I had Wyvern leggings, boots and helmet and a Draconic chestplate and got taken out quickly. That Guardian has a serious hit.10K blocks is a long way to travel just to die :D.

And so I got Draconic Leggings in Infinity by
going to the end -> killing ender dragon -> making wyvern leggings -> find a meteorite -> getting full wyvern -> making shiny out of cinnabar from gold ores -> making enderium in a smeltery -> making an alloy smelter -> making fused quartz -> making MFR boiler -> making a BR Turbine with mostly enderium coils -> pump lava into boiler -> 400mil RF in my energy core -> charging draconium blocks -> spawn and kill withers above bedrock in nether(No really, it's the best place to kill wither!!!) -> make a dracoinum leggings
Taking about 3 hours to do all the stuff from a single smeltery, starter AE gears, a 4x4x4 reactor, about 6 nether stars in stock(one used in angel ring) and a few TE machines.

You get more shiny from ferrous than gold using cinnabar, 100% chance. I don't see killing wither skeletons to get the skulls in your list. Have you tried taking on the Chaos Guardian yet?
