Dragonriding Guide for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

Dragonriding is a new form of aerial movement that replaces flying in the upcoming Dragonflight expansion.

Dragonriding becomes available right at the start of the expansion, and all other mounts in your collection will only act as ground mounts in The Dragon Isles.

You will get a dragon and learn the Dragonriding skill which you can level up over time.

The Dragonriding ability lets you defy gravity while using your momentum and skills to soar the higher heights and explore the Isles.

You press the spacebar to take off. The whole mini-game is that you have got height and speed and you must figure out how to get as far as possible before you land again. It feels like you are swooping and diving through landscapes.

You can choose between four dragon species — a proto-dragon, a ptero-dragon, a dragon wyvern, and a drake.

Here is a preview of all dragons available for dragonriding, taken from the official website.

The dragons intended for dragonriding are fully customizable with a variety of options including snouts, horns, scales, tails, and armor.

The snout of your dragon is fully customizable.

You can also customize your drake's horns in Dragonflight.

You can adjust your dragon's tail as well.

Your dragon can also wear different types of armor.
