There are 48 in total, spread across all four zones:The Waking Shores, Ohn’Ahran Plains, The Azure Span, and Thaldraszus. While the game does give you hints when you’re close, it can still be hard to track them all down. To help out, we’ve written up this guide on all the Dragon Glyph locations, so you can round them all up as fast as possible.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Dragon Glyph locations
Across all four zones, there are 48 Dragon Glyphs that all players are going to want to pick up sooner rather than later. Since so much of the new content added with Dragonflight is reliant on your ability to fly somewhere fast, collecting Dragon Glyphsto vastly improve the performance of your fancy new mount is hugely important. We recommend either grabbing these Dragon Glyphs when you come across them naturally while questing then refering to this guide to sweep up the ones left over, or going out and collecting them all at once as soon as you get your Dragonriding mount. If you’re unsure which one’s you haven’t collected, you can head to the Dragonflyph collection achievements in the exploration achievement tab, and quickly see which glyphs remain uncollected as they’ll be greyed out. Below, we’ve provided a map screenshot of each zone with glyph locations marked in red, as well as a written guide on how to make your way to each glyph with as little hassle as possible.

Obsidian Bulwark - From the flight point, fly south and you can find the glyph on top of a big rock formation. Use Skyward Accent if you need more height. Ruby Life Pools Peak - South West of the Ruby Lifepools there’s a massive rocky cliff with the glyph right at the top. Using Skyward Accent from the flight point to gain some height, then use it again if you need to get on top of the rocks.
