In this guide, now updated for Patch 10.0.7, The Forbidden Reach, we show you where all 48 Dragonriding Glyphs are located on the Dragon Isles and the 8 new Glyphs on The Forbidden Reach. We located and mapped out a route for each new zone. We unlocked Dragonriding and instantly collected all 48, but you could also do the zones as you level through them.
The Glyphs are used for the Dragonriding talent tree, you spend them to improve your dragon. We recommend trying to find the Glyphs without a guide, because discovering them was a lot of fun, but if you get frustrated or don’t have the time, then we are here to help.
There are a total of 56 Glyphs all around the Dragon Isles, split between The Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, The Azure Span, Thaldraszus and The Forbidden Reach. Every time you collect a glyph, you will get an achievement, which makes the glyphs account-wide, so if you collect them on one character, you don’t have to collect them again on your other characters.
Dragonriding Glyph Collection Tips:
- Most of these Dragonriding Glyphs can be collected by waiting for all of your Vigor charges to be available to let you use multiple Skyward Ascent ability uses quickly after each other to generate speed and the height needed.
- If you are doing multiple Glyphs, you can sometimes use the height gained on the current one to get to the next one quicker or without using as many Vigor charges, making collecting them a little less time-consuming.
- You can access the Dragonriding Skill Upgrades via the Dragonriding emblem next-to your minimap. So, make sure to upgrade whenever you have enough glyphs collected. Especially the max Vigor increase after collecting your first Glyph.
- Install the TomTom Addon and create a Macro for each of the zones that contains the glyph coordinates for that respective zone. Then use the macro when inside that zone.
- When you are close to a Glyph you haven’t collected yet, you will get a message in chat and the Dragon Glyph Resonance buff that a Glyph has been detected close to your location.
The Forbidden Reach
The Forbidden Reach zone, released in Patch 10.0.7, has had 8 new Dragonriding Glyphs added to it. The Glyphs and their coordinate locations are listed below. Our route for the Forbidden Reach Glyphs aims to minimise Vigor recharging time, but it should also help to collect any that you miss from your own exploration!

The Forbidden Reach: Dragonriding TomTom Glyph Coordinates:
Using the TomTom Addon, Create a Macro with the following waypoints, then use it when in The Forbidden Reach./way 20.56 91.40
/way 48.52 68.96
/way 59.05 65.08
/way 77.30 55.10
/way 79.45 32.65
/way 62.54 32.43
/way 37.72 30.68
/way 18.36 13.12
1. Dragon Glyphs: Talon's Watch


/way 20.56 91.40
This Glyph is inside the bottom of a ruined tower on the small island, Talon's Watch, in the far Southwest corner of The Forbidden Reach. You can reach it from the ground and jump to collect it.
2. Dragon Glyphs: The Frosted Spine


/way 48.52 68.96
This Glyph is close to the top of a snowy mountain, slightly raised from the floor in an open space.
If you're coming to this Glyph from Talon's Watch (Glyph 1), you can use the Gale Wind on that Island to get higher in the air. Then, fly in a straight line towards The Frosted Spine Glyph location and use Skyward Ascent on your way to reach the correct height up the mountain.
3. Dragon Glyphs: Talonlords' Perch


/way 59.05 65.08
This Glyph is at the top of a tall tower with large rounded pillars in the Talonlords' Perch ruined village.
If you fly from the previous Glyph in our list, you can glide down to this one without using Vigor.
4. Dragon Glyphs: Stormsunder Mountain


/way 77.30 55.10
This Glyph is towards the top of the Stormsunder Mountain on the East of The Forbidden Reach, slightly hidden behind a rock close to the top right side of the mountain.
When flying to this Glyph from Talonlord's Perch, you can fly mostly level towards this fourth Glyph and use Skyward Ascent to reach the ledge. Flying in this direction, the Glyph will be partially hidden behind a spikey part of the mountain.
5. Dragon Glyphs: Dragonskull Island


/way 79.45 32.65
This Glyph is close to the top and towards the back of the mountain on Dragonskull Island, the medium sized Island to the Northeast of the Forbidden Reach zone. It is beneath a group of trees on a grassy area of the mountain.
Flying from Glyph 4, Stormsunder Mountain, you can glide all the way down to this one by flying behind the mountain.
6. Dragon Glyphs: Froststone Peak


/way 62.54 32.43
This Glyph is inside the dome at the top of a very high tower at Froststone Peak, close to the Froststone Vault on the map.
Flying directly from the Glyph on Dragonskull Island is mostly in a straight line, however, you need to gain a lot of height to reach the Glyph. You will need to use roughly 4-6 Vigor charges on Skyward Ascent. If you run out before your reach it, you can land on the mountain below the tower to recharge.
7. Dragon Glyphs: Caldera of the Menders


/way 37.72 30.68
The Glyph is floating inside of a short tower with a broken roof in front of the Caldera of the Menders in the Northeast of the main island. If you miss going through the roof, you can also access the tower from the ground.
When flying from the Froststone Peak Glyph, you can glide all the way down to this Glyph. Aim for the blue laser beam on the floor, and the tower with the Glyph inside will be slightly to the right of that.
8. Dragon Glyphs: Winglord's Perch


/way 18.36 13.12
This Glyph is inside a short, ruined tower on the ground, located on the Winglord's Perch, the Island in the top-left of the Forbidden Reach.
Flying from Glyph 7 first requires a couple uses of Skyward Ascent to get some height, but then you can glide around the mountain on your right, towards the Island with the final Glyph. Flying from this direction, the Glyph will be hidden inside the roof of the short tower, but it's the only tower on the ground part of the Island, so it should be easy to find.
The Waking Shores
The image below shows all current locations for the Dragoriding glyphs in The Waking Shores. The order of the Glyphs is to help make collecting them quicker by using the height of one Glyph to glide to the next. However, it isn’t required to follow this path exactly, you can do them in whichever order you want.

2. Dragon Glyphs: Skytop Observatory Tower


/way 75.0 57.0
This glyph is located on top of the tower at Skytop Observatory.
If you continue the questline a little further, you will get teleported to the top of the tower, directly below the glyph. You can use Skyward Ascent to fly out of the tower and turn around to reach the Glyph.
If you start from the floor, you can use all 4 uses of Skyward Ascent to get to the glyph quickly.
The more controlled approach is to use 2 uses of Skyward Ascent to get to the platform on the right side of the tower, then use 1 Skyward Ascent to get to the bridge, then 2 uses of Skyward Ascent from the bridge to the glyph. Wait in between for your vigor to recharge.
3. Dragon Glyphs: Dragonheart Outpost


/way 69.27 46.23
This glyph is located inside of the broken part of the tower. You can either use multiple charges of Skyward Ascent to reach it from the floor, or glide down from the Skytop Observatory. Also, you can use the ledge right below it to not fall down before moving to the next glyph.
4. Dragon Glyphs: Wingrest Embassy


/way 73.08 20.51
This Glyph is quite close to the floor, just above a short tower.
5. Dragon Glyphs: Scalecracker Peak

6. Dragon Glyphs: Life-binder Observatory


/way 52.60 17.21
This glyph is located on the roof, so you need to save Vigor to use multiple Skyward Ascent charges. The other option is to recharge your vigor at one of the ledges/platforms before going higher.
If you're coming directly from Glyph 5, you can glide all of the way down to this one.
7. Dragon Glyphs: Obsidian Throne


/way 21.76 51.40
This one is tricky and may require you to recharge your Vigor a few times before making your way up to the glyph, especially if you do it early on. The glyph is located behind the Obsidian citadel above the lava pool, so you can use the platforms on the Citadel and the mountain just below the glyph to recharge your Vigor.
If you're coming directly from Glyph 6, you can glide most of the way down to this one.
8. Dragon Glyphs: The Overflowing Spring


/way 46.40 52.14

Ohn’ahran Plains
The image below shows all locations for the Dragoriding glyphs in Ohn’ahran Plains. Do them in the order you want, but we recommend doing them in this order to benefit from the Thrill of the Skies speed from a lot of the higher up glyphs to speed up getting a lot of the glyphs.

/way 57.13 80.10
This glyph is located in the middle of the air, on the side of the mountain’s top section. You will need multiple charges of Skyward Ascent from the ground.

11. Dragon Glyphs: Windsong Rise


/way 61.37 64.23
This Glyph is in the sky above a raised hill with a distinctive swirl pattern in the ground. You want to use multiple Skyward Ascent uses from the ground to reach this glyph, or, you can glide down from Glyph 10 without needing to use any charges of vigor.

8. Dragon Glyphs: Zelthrak Outpost


/way 52.97 49.04
This glyph can be pretty tricky to spot because it's located high from the ground, right next to a huge tree. You will need up to 4 charges of Skyward Ascent from the ground to comfortably reach it, or you can use the tall tower or the surrounding mountains to get higher up before using Skyward Ascent or Surge Forward to reach the glyph.
9. Dragon Glyphs: Azure Archives


/way 39.20 63.01
This glyph is located very high in the sky, slightly away from the highest of the floating platforms. To reach it from the floor, it will require 4 charges of Skyward Ascent. However, if you don’t have enough vigor, you can use the giant structure in the middle of Azure Archives to reach the top before flying to the tower where the glyph is located.

This glyph is located in the second highest tower next to the South Hold Gate. The Glyph itself is inside the top of the tower just below the rooftop. To reach it from the floor you will need to use multiple Skyward Ascent charges.
If you are following our order, you should wait in the tower to recharge your Vigor before going to the next one.
2. Dragon Glyphs: Stormshroud Peak


/way 46.09 73.88
This glyph is located on top of the big mountain. I would recommend waiting part way up with this one until you have enough vigor recharged to reach the top.
If you came to this Glyph from number 1, you should already be able to make it pretty high up the mountain to recharge Vigor.
Once you collect this Glyph and have collected all of the other zone’s glyphs you should be able to unlock one of your final dragonriding skills in the current tree.
3. Dragon Glyphs: Valdrakken


/way Thaldraszus 41.26 58.27
This glyph is located at the very top of the Seat of the Aspects tower in Valdrakken. It is high up, from the floor of Valdrakken it takes 3 - 4 charges of Skyward Ascent to reach the Glyph.
If you are low on Vigor and level 64 or above you can take the teleporter from inside the ground floor of the tower to The Seat of the Aspects and then make your way to the roof to collect the glyph.
If you come to this Glyph directly from number 2, you can glide all the way down to this one.
4. Dragon Glyphs: Gelikyr Overlook


/way 52.65 67.43
This glyph is located just above the bridge near Gelikyr Overlook.
If you come directly from Glyph 3, you can glide all the way down to this one.
5. Dragon Glyphs: Passage of Time


/way 55.76 72.33
This glyph is located on your way to the temporal conflux just before the big stone archway. It isn’t very high up, so a single Skyward Ascent will let you reach it.
6. Dragon Glyphs: Tyrhold


/way 61.57 56.61
This glyph is located on one of the floating rocks next to the enormous structure in Tyrhold.
To reach the glyph from Glyph 5 it will take 5 - 6 charges of Skyward Ascent. From the floor of Tyrhold it takes less, but you need to use charges to get into the zone. If you have less Vigor available, you can make your way part way up the giant structure to recharge some vigor and then fly over to the floating rock to collect the glyph.
7. Dragon Glyphs: Algeth'era


/way 49.85 40.23
This glyph is located at the top of the tower, just above the roof. From the floor it will take 3 or 4 Skyward Ascent charges.
If you come to this one directly from Glyph 6 you can glide all the way to this one.
If you are following our ordering, after collecting this Glyph, you should now be able to purchase your second skill in the final row of the dragonriding skill tree.
8. Dragon Glyphs: Algeth'ar Academy


/way 62.41 40.46
This glyph is located inside the top of the tower with the giant crystal on its roof. It can be tricky to spot because the glyph is located just below the ceiling inside the tower.
If you come to this one from Glyph 7, you are already most of the way up, so will require less Vigor charges to reach it. From the floor you may need to wait for your vigor to recharge before getting to the top of the tower.
9. Dragon Glyphs: Veiled Ossuary


/way 67.09 11.76
The glyph is located inside the top of the tower just below the rooftop.
If you come directly from Glyph 8, you can use 1 or 2 Skyward Ascent charges then glide most of the way down to this one.
10. Dragon Glyphs: Vault of the Incarnates


/way 72.40 51.71
This glyph is located above the lava next to the left of the Vault of the Incarnates raid entrance.
If you want to go from Glyph 9 to this one, I recommend that you go back via Glyph 8 as the mountain on the left is very high. I flew back to the Algeth'ar Academy tower and recharged my vigor before flying up to Glyph 10 from the Tyrhold side.
Once you get high enough to get into the area, you can glide the rest of the way to the glyph. You can also land on a rock area or the raid entrance platform to recharge some vigor.
11. Dragon Glyphs: Thaldraszus Apex


/way 72.96 69.14
This glyph is probably one of the hardest glyphs to get. It is located on the biggest mountain on the dragon isles; it will require you to have unlocked most of your dragon riding skills and you will still need to land on side parts of the mountain to recharge your Vigor before making it all the way to the top.
The rest points that you can land on are spaced out around the mountain, so if you find yourself losing speed, you can try to fly around the mountain before losing too much height if you are fully out of Vigor.
With almost everything unlocked and coming directly from the raid entrance platform next to Glyph 10, I landed twice to recharge Vigor. Firstly on a spiked section of the mountain on the side of the mountain that you reach directly from Glyph 10. The second on the snowy part of the mountain, almost on the opposite side from where I started. From there, I was able to Skyward Ascent 4 times to reach the Glyph at the very peak of the mountain.
12. Dragon Glyphs: Temporal Conflux


/way 66.01 82.34
This glyph is located inside the top of the tower, just below the rooftop. The glyph is pretty high up, so from the floor it will take multiple charges of Skyward Ascent.
If you come to this Glyph after Glyph 11, you can swiftly dive down straight towards the tower.
If you followed our ordering for all of this, you should have collected all available Glyphs and can now finish fully upgrading your dragonriding skills. Congratulations and thank you for reading!
