Guides Wowhead: Skyriding Glyph Locations in World of Warcraft: The War Within - Khaz Algar, K'aresh · Warcraft Tavern: Skyriding Glyph Locations & Achievements Guide

Nothing to unlock first: go there and it is yours.

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

The 40 glyphs are the criteria of the four zone achievements in Wowhead's tooltips (10, 9, 10 and 11); Wowhead's guide and Warcraft Tavern count 40 as well. A web search turned up 41 for Icy Veins and 38 for the wiki's glyph page; neither page was read. Progress is account-wide (tooltip), so glyphs picked up by different characters add up.

The glyphs give no flying benefit in Khaz Algar; the mount is their only reward. K'aresh has eight more glyphs with an achievement of their own that is not part of this one.

The time on the spot is the middle of Wowhead's guide's figure for the whole round, 30 minutes to an hour with the locations at hand.

The glyphs, with the guide's coordinates on each zone's map. Warcraft Tavern's figures differ from these by less than a point. A 2025 comment warns that some coordinates in an older comment's table are well off, so the guide's are the ones given.

The Ruptured Lake glyph is tucked in among roots near the cavern's ceiling (2024 Wowhead comment: stand at 25.2, 40.7, face south-east and rise straight up); flying to the very top there throws the character back down.
