How to Unlock Snail Racing in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight
Upon reachingRenown 7 with the Loamm Niffen, players will unlock an all-new activity they can participate inwithin Zaralek Cavern:Snail Racing. Players can pick up a quest called “TICKET: Glimmerrogg Games,” which will lead them to the southern town of Glimmerrogg, where they’ll start their snail racing career.
Here, players will meet the town’s inhabitants, who are cavern drogbar, accompanied by many Niffen revelers participating in various festivities. Players may recall their adventures in Highmountain’s Stonedark Grotto during the Legion expansion, where they first encountered not only the drogbar but their affinity toward snail racing.
In Glimmerogg, players should seek out one drogbar in particular, the snail racing enthusiastBriggul, located atcoordinates (44.2, 80.0). He’ll offer a quest, “Come Snail Away,” to introduce players to the intense world of snail racing and unlock the Glimmerogg Racer faction. While the snail racing activity in Zaralek Caverns is undoubtedly a “don’t miss” attraction, the ultimate reward for achieving maximum reputation with the Glimmerogg Racers is the illustrious and fabulous Big Slick in the City mount.

Earning this gorgeous rock snail ground mount can take nearly a month through completion of the sole daily quest Briggul will offer each day. However, there’s a way to speed up this process and gain a large chunk of reputation through an alternate activity: battle pet training.
It’s quite apparent that Briggul is an ardent admirer of snails, and he is extremely particular about who he entrusts with the reins of his cherished Big Slick. However, apparently, he’s a fan of both racingandfighting using snails. Alongside his daily quest, he also offers players the chance to display their proficiency in snail wrangling by showcasing level 25 snail battle pets they have trained.

Briggul offers a series of fifteen, one-time completion"Snailspiration"quests, each requiring the player to show him a specific level 25 snail battle pet. The pet must be level 25, the maximum for battle pets, or it won’t be considered for quest completion.
