The new Dragonflight expansion for World of Warcraft is just around the corner. As always, there are plenty of cool mounts on the Dragon Isles just waiting to be part of your collection. MeinMMO reveals how you earn the new mounts.
How do you earn the mounts? As in previous expansions, most of the new mounts are rewards for a variety of different activities that you can complete daily in the game. You have to find hidden treasures, defeat rare opponents or achieve achievements.
But some mounts are also hidden behind tricky puzzles. Others are easily available from merchants. This usually requires you to earn a certain amount of reputation with a faction. Incidentally, it is currently particularly worthwhile to go hunting for old mounts, because 5 of the rarest mounts are now available.
How many mounts are there on the Dragon Islands? Around 30 mounts are currently known that will find their way to Azeroth with Dragonflight. That’s significantly less than previous expansions. For example, the Shadowlands had more than 100 mounts in their luggage.
But don’t worry, in addition to the normal mounts, the Dragon Islands also have the ability to ride dragons. This is an integral feature of the extension. You get your own dragon and can personalize its appearance down to the last detail.
It’s also very likely that later patches will implement more mounts and customization options for your dragons. By the way, Dragonflight will be released on November 29th week. Here are 3 things you should do beforehand while you can.
You can see how dragon riding works here in the video:

Over the course of the Dragonflight campaign, you will gradually unlock 4 basic forms. You can then personalize them as you wish. This can be done, for example, through certain glyphs. Here we show you an addon that shows the locations of the dragon riding glyphs. With a large selection of shapes, colors and other features, there are hardly any limits to your imagination.
The 4 basic shapes are:
More personalization options for your kites will be added later. So far, a primalist form and a form for the gladiator mount are known.
