World of Warcraft: Dragonflight stream shows new Dracthyr customization

Creating a character, then outfitting them with fancy gear and trying different hairstyles is one of the main parts of World of Warcraft . Tuesday’s World of Warcraft: Dragonflight reveal stream showed some interesting new options that are on the way for players who love the dress-up aspects of the MMO.

First up is the new class, the Dracthyr Evoker. In World of Warcraft , dragons have traditionally had two forms. The dragon form is their mortal form. Dracthyr, although smaller than dragons and less humanoid, share the same trait.

Dracthyr can choose another race in order to create both mortal and custom forms, much like worgen. Players can create not only their Dracthyr but an elf that has draconic scales and eyes. The availability of new cosmetic options for Dracthyr-like player races remains to be determined. These additions were one of the most popular parts of the Shadowlands launch — and arguably the most missed part of subsequent patches.

The professions overhaul is also going to lead to many more cosmetic items. As silly as it sounds, some of the biggest splashes in the game can happen when the developers add things like the ability to put on a backpack, or take off a shirt. Miners will get some safety gear and mining equipment, for instance, to show off their hard work in the mines. It’s also nice to see some new gear that isn’t giant, crystalline raid gear made to look as intimidating as possible.

Players will also be able to ride their very own pet drake in Dragonflight and customize it over time, turning their constant companion into something that suits their personal style.
