Check out what’s new for dragonriding in Patch 10.1.7.
Challenge and Reverse Challenge Modes
Challenge and Reverse Challenge modes are coming for all Dragonriding courses in the game.
Challenge mode is the same as Advanced, but without Vigor regeneration orbs.
Challenge mode will unlock weekly in different zones of the Dragon Isles before all zones unlock permanently.
We have several new achievements and rewards tied to the new mode:
Dragonriding Challenge: Dragon Isles: Bronze rewards the Bronze Racer’s Pennant toy mount.
The toy transforms you into a mount.
Dragonriding Challenge: Dragon Isles: Silver (doesn’t reward anything).
Dragonriding Challenge: Dragon Isles: Gold rewards the Isles Ace title.
Dragonriding Animations for Old Mounts
Dragonriding animations have been added to many wyvern and gryphon mounts to support Dynamic flight in Patch 10.1.7. While Dragonriding won’t be introduced for the mounts in the near future, it’s nice to see Blizzard’s working on allowing old mounts use Dragonriding in the future.
Eastern Kingdoms Cup
Eastern Kingdoms cup has been added. The event is currently slated for October 4, 2023, according to the in-game calendar on the 10.1.7 PTR. The event adds 14 new races.
