The newest expansion for World of Warcraft, called Dragonflight, adds a whole new location, a new race, and a new class. Players dropping into the new realm might be wondering just where all its secrets are. Players can find a pile of NPCs, rare elites, and a bunch of treasures. One of the collectibles that can be found in this new location are the Dragon Glyphs. These items are extremely important for moving around and leveling quickly as each glyph is used to upgrade Dragonflight's new mount-like dragon riding system.

The Dragon Riding in Dragonflight

With the release of the new expansion, World of Warcraft players venturing into Dragonflight's Dragon Isles will be allowed to ride a big dragon around. It's limited to just this location, but it is both upgradable and customizable. Players can choose the look of their dragon mounts with 50 customizations, and they can upgrade things like the cooldown timer and speed of their flights with dragon glyphs.

The Dragon Glyphs of Dragonflight

There are a grand total of 48 dragon glyphs to be found around World of Warcraft's Dragonflight islands, and players will want to find every single one to upgrade their scaled ride as soon as possible. Thankfully, these items and upgrades are account-wide, so players only have to seek out all these collectibles one time to upgrade all their character's flying skill trees. One of the best ways to make sure players can find all the glyphs is to download one of the many addons for treasure hunting or specifically for the glyphs. But here are all the locations, in case players are missing just a few and don't want to bother looking for an addon.

In order to unlock the dragonriding skills, players will need to trade these dragon glyphs to an NPC located in Valdrakken; her name is Lithragosa, and she is located here:
