A skiff race is a dynamic event in which players compete against each other, sailing on skiffs through the Event checkpoint (map icon).png checkpoints to be the first to reach the Finish Line.png finish line. A Time Trial adventure is usually available in the same area, allowing players to individually race against the time. Mount races are similar competitions, but, unlike skiff races, can be completed on any mount of even on foot.

Mechanics[edit]

The race can only be completed on a skiff. Before the race starts, players will need to register with the Race Organizer before they can begin the race. Alternatively, entering the starting area, indicated by the blue border, will automatically initiate a conversation with the Race Organizer.

Players that have successfully registered for the race will have the Registered.png Race Registration or Registered.png Registered effect. The race lasts 3 laps, tracked by the effect Comet.png Lap Count.
