Dragon customization in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, many players fly on dragons through the Dragon Isles. To stand out from the crowd, it's a good idea to customize your dragon mount. In this guide, you'll learn how to create the perfect dragon and unlock new appearances.

Visit the Transmogrification Rostrum

To customize your dragon in WoW Dragonflight, you'll need to visit a Transmogrification Rostrum. Right-clicking on it opens a menu similar to the Barber Shop and character creation screen. Here, you can personalize all of your dragon mounts with the unlocked or purchased appearances to your liking.

How Dragon Customization Works

You can preview unreleased appearances on this screen by hovering over them with your mouse. Once you've selected your favorite colors, features, and decorations, clicking "Accept" will change the appearance of your dragon the next time you summon it.

Where to Find Transmutation Rostrums

The main Transmutation Rostrum is located in Valdrakken on a platform overlooking the Artisan's Market. For TomTom users, the coordinates are 25.02 and 50.81.

You can find additional Transmutation Rostrums at the following locations:

  • Skytop Observatory in Waking Shores (74.58)
  • Misty Canyon Overlook in Azure Span (63.13)
  • Rusza'thar Reach in Ohn'ahran Plains (84.35)

Collecting Drakewatcher Manuscripts

During your adventures on the Dragon Isles, you've likely already obtained Drakewatcher Manuscripts through quests or killing rare creatures. These allow you to permanently unlock new customization options for your dragon. Most main options (such as colors and armor) can be purchased from faction vendors once you reach a certain reputation level. However, note that each customization option is tied to a specific type of dragon.

Other Sources of Drakewatcher Manuscripts

Drakewatcher Manuscripts aren't just obtainable through quests and rare creatures. You can also obtain them from the following sources:

  • Professions
  • Dungeon and raid drops
  • Achievements
  • Rare elite and world drops
  • Quest rewards
  • World quests for dragon races
  • World events

Epic Drakewatcher Manuscripts: Full Transformations

Epic Drakewatcher Manuscripts, also known as Full Transformations, give your dragon a unique appearance that cannot be further customized. An example is the Storm Devourer transformation of the Renewed Proto-Drake, which has a low chance of dropping from the raid boss Raszageth.

Now you're well-prepared to customize your World of Warcraft: Dragonflight dragon mount and ride proudly through the skies. Have fun collecting manuscripts and designing your unique dragon!
