Dragonflight: Dragonflight Races Guide – World of Warcraft
In Dragonflight, you have the opportunity to participate in races dedicated to Dragonflight. These are predetermined routes that must be completed within a predetermined period of time. These races allow you to unlock many achievements and rewards that I invite you to discover below.
1. How do I unlock Dragon Ride races?
Races unlock when you get your first mountain in Awakening Shores. The game also introduces you very quickly to your first racing-related mission. Next, you will be taken to the plains of Ohn’arha, then Azure Travée and finally Taldrasus.
There are 4 basic racing missions and 4 advanced racing missions. The four basic races must be validated to unlock the advanced races.
2. Running races
The race consists of connecting the starting line to the finish line as quickly as possible. It’s very simple in theory, but the tracks are not in a straight line and many obstacles can get in your way.
You must pass through crossing points represented by yellow or blue circles. These luminous circles provide direction and time indications for the rest of the race. If you are too slow, the race will be lost and you will have to start it again.
The journey also includes various elements:
- gust of wind : Allows you to increase your speed.
- Green orb : Regeneration of 1 stamina.
- Purple orb : stuns your character for two seconds. Avoid completely, but you can pass through the orb without consequence using Drake’s ability Gusts of Ohn’ahra.
- Flaming Orb : Slows your speed for two seconds. Avoid too, but again you can use Gusts of Ohn’arha to avoid debuff.
Know that races are never long, most are completed in 40 to 60 seconds.
3. The difficulty level of the races
Of course, the basic races are simpler, with more buffs and fewer obstacles. For advanced races, it’s the opposite and you have to avoid many obstacles each time.
Each race, whether basic or advanced, comes in three difficulty levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
- Bronze level simply requires going to the end of the race with no time limit.
- Silver and gold levels have a time limit.
- The gold level is the most difficult to reach, with the lowest timer. So you need to be faster.
It is highly recommended to obtain all Dracogplyhes and unlock all of Dragonflight’s talents before jumping into the races.
You really need Vigor but also some specific abilities to check out in the toughest races. Save yourself the frustration and get all the formats first 😉
4. Achievements and rewards
There are many achievements for racing. Each successful race rewards you with an achievement, whether in bronze, silver or gold, for basic and advanced races. The real rewards come when you complete all the races in an area at its most difficult level, the Gold level. Each time, you will receive a customization of your drake.
