'''Parachute Cloak''' is a cloak that can reduce your fall speed for 10 seconds. It requires [[Engineering]] to craft and use. It is often used by [[twink]]s due to it not having a minimum required level.

==Source==
This item is created with [[Engineering]] (225); taught  by [[Schematic: Parachute Cloak]], a world drop.

==Notes==
*Be careful when parachuting a long distance. If you activate the cloak too early, the slow fall effect will end while you are still too far off the ground.
*Essentially the same as the mage spell [[Slow Fall (ability)]] and similar to the priest spell [[Levitate]]; it completely mitigates [[fall damage]] for the duration of the buff. The difference is, the cloak's duration is shorter and does not require a reagent.
*Can be used to take shortcuts such as jumping into [[Un'Goro Crater]]. Another example would be parachuting over the lava when doing the quest [[Attunement to the Core| Attunement to the Core]]. It can potentially even be used to access areas that were not meant to be reached by players.
*Can be used to escape from enemy players or mobs by jumping off high cliffs. Alternately, you can ambush enemy players by dropping onto them, a tactic that can occasionally be useful in battlegrounds.
*Can be used to avoid one of the unpleasant backfire effects of the [[Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan]], that of unintended vertical displacement.
*Has a 30 seconds cooldown
*Can be [[Disenchant]]ed.
*The parachute cloak cannot be used to get the "Going Down?" achievement.
*The Tinkering abilities [[Flexweave Underlay]] and [[Springy Arachnoweave]] largely make this obsolete at higher levels of engineering, as they allow any cloak to gain the parachute ability, and for a longer duration.

==Background==
{{RPG-section}}
The Parachute Cloak is a human invention. This wraparound cloak is a simple and useful invention. If the wearer begins to fall, the cloak immediately unfolds into a huge parachute, slowing his descent to safe speeds - at least, for a few seconds.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 100, 120</ref>
