So, due to some weird things, our campaign is "ending" at 7th level but we can keep gaining feats through train, using retraining rule.
What ways do I have through magical items a 7th level player can afford, or feats other than the obvious skill focus (fly) can I use to boost my check?
I'm at 60ft (40ft with armor) average maneuverability with a -2 check from dex + acp. I know the first step is to get mitral armor, but that leaves me with a +1 bonus, +4 if I manage to grab skill focus.
Wearing a cloak, robe, clothing outfit, or padded or quilted armor made from griffon mane grants a +2 competence bonus on Fly checks.
How are you flying? A spell/wings/etc? Different modes of flight might give you modifiers you're not remembering, for example the FLY SPELL gives you a bonus equal to half your caster level on fly checks (+3 at 7th).
If you look up the FLY skill you'll see that getting yourself a Bat Familiar will give you a +3 on fly.
There's also the ACROBATIC feat that will give you another +2 to fly (and acrobatics).
A blood reservoir of physical prowess could give you a +2 1/day at most, a four-leaf clover gives you a +2 up to 3/day. They'd stack.
The cunning feat gives you extra skill points which you can use to become trained in Fly.
There's Graceful Flier. It's not mentioned on Nethys, but in the book, the section this feat comes from states that you need wings.
Get a Masterwork Tool for a +2 Circumstance bonus.
If you have a fly speed, you can use Hover, without needing a skill check.
Another feat for a fly speed is Improved Flight to improve your flying ability by one category (=+4). Can get more than once.

There is a cracked magenta prism Ioun stone for 800 gp. It gives a +2 competence bonus to any skill. And you can change the skill daily.
For a pricier option (8000 gp) there is the scarlet and blue sphere Ioun stone that gives a +2 to Int. That bonus to Int comes with a skill, which could be fly.

Thanks for all the feedback. Before you ask, yes that is something a 7th level Warder can't take. It's weird and GM is doing things about balance.
I lack a headband of Int, or rather any headband, so that is an easy way to grab skill points. Hover/Improved Flight are both monster feats, one being a third party we don't use, so I don't see those happening. Graceful Flier isn't going to work, as I'm currently using heavy armor.

While 3rd party may not fly, monster feats are allowed, I think, as they are core (as in it is in one of the core books: Bestiary). Just some GMs don't like them.
