Dragonriding Mount Customization Options in Dragonflight

Last updated on Oct 28, 2023 at 11:34 by Stan 9 comments

An overview of Dragonriding customization options available for your Dragon Isles Drakes in Dragonflight.

1.

Introduction

As you explore the Dragon Isles and beyond, you will find items called Drakewatcher Manuscripts that teach you customization options for your drake. Drakewatcher Manuscripts are obtained from various sources. You will receive them from Dragonflight Dungeons, quests, Renown, Reputation, and more. Once you have used those items, the customization options will be available to you at the Rostrum of Transformation.

The Rostrum of Transformation

The Rostrum of Transformation is where you may select a different appearance for your drake based on what you have unlocked. Every outpost has a Rostrum if you wish to return and choose a new look.
