However, it seems players might be able to collect an extra special customization option for their Dragonriding drakes soon. A couple of images sharedalongside theEmbers of Neltharionreleasefeatured aWorld of Warcraftcharacter astride a Dragonriding mount with white scales. This will be the sixth color made available as a customization option for these special mounts, and the first that doesn’t coincide with one of the five Dragonflights.
It remains to be seen how players will unlock this newWorld of Warcraftcustomization option, but it is definitely coming soon. Manuscript item entries for unlocking these options on every type of Dragonriding mount–including the new Winding Slitherdrake introduced inEmbers of Neltharion–were added to the game in the new patch. Players can’t earn the white scale options yet, but they can see how it looks with it on Wowhead’s Dressing Room, which hosts a full Dragonriding customization simulator.
Hilariously, this is technically the second time white dragons have appeared inWorld of Warcraft. During the beta forWrath of the Lich King, white drakes could be seen in early screenshots, footage, and even in-game for a short time. While they were originally teased as a potential new type of dragon, they were eventually replaced with the proto-dragons players know today. Though it does not appear elsewhere in the game, the Reins of the Albino Drake earned for collecting 50 differentmounts inWorld of Warcraftshares this early model.
Fans of Dragonriding inDragonflightwill be pleased to know there is a lot of new content for the feature inEmbers of Neltharion. In addition to new glyphs, abilities, and races,World of Warcraftadded a fifth type of Dragonriding mount with the Winding Slitherdrake. The mount can’t be unlocked at press time due to a glitch, but Blizzard is working on making the chapter available, soWorld of Warcraftplayers will soon be able to soar the skies in style.
