The Seasonal Windrunner Race is a special event that occurs during in-game festivals, adding unique challenges and rewards to the traditional Windrunner Race. Each festival brings its own themed version of the race, complete with 4 distinct maps, mechanics, and exclusive prizes. Here’s an overview of how to participate, what to expect, and which festivals are part of the Seasonal Windrunner Race.
To participate in the Seasonal Windrunner Race, players must access the event through the "Battlefield" section in the game’s main menu. Selecting "Windrunner Race" will place them in a queue, and the race will begin once seven players have joined. The event is time-sensitive, occurring only during specific festivals, so players should take advantage of these limited opportunities to race. You can participate from level 100 once a day.
In the Seasonal Windrunner Race, players are pitted against 8 other competitors, all mounted on horses, with the goal of reaching the finish line first. However, unlike standard races, this event introduces various buffs and debuffs scattered along the track. These elements are designed to either assist or challenge racers as they navigate the course.
Buffs can include temporary speed boosts, stamina regeneration, and abilities that help overcome obstacles, while debuffs might slow players down, drain stamina more quickly, or force them to take longer paths. Successfully managing these elements is key to gaining an edge in the race.
Each in-game festival offers a uniquely themed version of the Seasonal Windrunner Race. These variations feature different maps, each tailored to the specific festival’s atmosphere, along with specialized buffs and rewards.
