WoW Dragon Glyphs can be found throughout the Dragon Isles in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. These collectibles allow you to unlock dragonriding (opens in new tab) talents so you can perform impressive aerial manoeuvres or simply stay in the skies for longer periods. You’ve likely already picked up all the glyphs from the major zones in the Dragon Isles, but the 10.0.7 patch opens up The Forbidden Reach to all races, and there are new Dragon Glyphs to collect in the “new” zone.
You need to take to the skies to pick up these Dragon Glyphs as they’re often high in the air or otherwise unreachable without the aid of your mount. If you’re ready to continue powering up your flight, here’s where to find every Dragon Glyph in Dragonflight, including The Forbidden Reach.
WoW Dragon Glyphs: How to unlock dragonriding talents
You will unlock your dragonriding skill—and gain your first dragonriding mount—once you progress the story quest a little way in The Waking Shores. Soon after, you’re sent to Skytop Observatory where you will be introduced to dragon customisation.
At this point, you should pick up the quest Dragon Glyphs and You where you need to grab the nearby Dragon Glyph. Once you hand in this quest to Lithragosa, the dragonriding trainer, you’ll gain access to the talent tree where you can spend your Dragon Glyphs to improve your dragonriding.
