Dragonriding Talents Guide for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

Dragonriding Talents provide you with various perks that empower your Dragonriding abilities, allowing you to stay in the air for extended periods of time. It is important to unlock them as soon as possible because they are account-wide and vastly improve your leveling experience in the new expansion.

If you wish to learn more about Dragonriding, please visit our dedicated guide.

The Dragonriding Talent tree consists of nine rows of perks and contains seven Dragonriding abilities unlocked by doing the campaign, and 20 unlockable talents with two nodes being multiple-choice talents and two active abilities. You can unlock all nodes on one row with the exception of multiple-choice talents. You can start unlocking Dragonriding Talents the moment you unlock Dragonriding in Dragonflight.

You can bring up the Dragonriding Talent tree by clicking on the Dragon Isles Summary icon on the minimap.

Dragon Glyphs are objects that you must collect to accrue talent points that you can spend on Dragonriding Talents.

Dragon Glyphs are scattered across the Dragon Isles, and we have a separate guide on how to collect them all efficiently.

In the following section, we list all the Dragonriding Talents available in Dragonflight, row by row. The amount of Dragon Glyphs required to unlock them increases as you progress further down the tree. The talents also affect Dracthyr's Soar racial ability in various ways.
