Old Moon Grand Prix

Last Edited on : Feb 9, 2023, 12:42 (UTC)
The Old Moon Grand Prix is a horse race in which you can compete against other mounted Adventurers on a variety of racing tracks.
 
 
 
◈ How to Join & Rules

The Old Moon Grand Prix requires a minimum of 5 Adventurers, referred to as riders, to begin, and races are held between 16:00 - 9:00 UTC for NA, and 8:00 - 1:00 UTC for EU. Each race allows up to a maximum of 10 Adventurers to register for participation.

 

Keep in mind that it does not open while node & conquest wars are in session, and it won’t let you enter it from 15 minutes before said wars start, up until they’ve finished.

 

Anyone can freely join the Old Moon Grand Prix by pressing the Race Info icon on the upper right-hand of your screen, to the left of the minimap, or from the (new) main menu (hotkey: Esc) → Life —> Old Moon Grand Prix.

 
 
 

To join the Old Moon Grand Prix, you will need to have registered your race horse at the stable keeper. You can retrieve your registered horse through Miles, the stable keeper within the racing track.

 

You can register up to 5 horses within the stable, and you will have 5 additional stable slots for registering racehorses only.

 

You can purchase a horse emblem for Giorgia Brisa, which is required to register race horses, from Gula, the Stable Keeper NPC at Stonetail Horse Ranch, or Miles, the stable keeper of the Old Moon Grand Prix.

 

As soon as the first participant / rider joins the Old Moon Grand Prix queue, a 3-minute timer will be set, which will see 3 additional minutes added per every additional participant.
This timer will only continue adding minutes up until 5 riders have joined, and if at least 5 participants have not joined when the timer runs out, the race will be canceled and all riders in queue will exit.

 

If 5 or more participants have joined and the timer runs out, or if 10 have joined, then the queue timer will end, as 1 minute of prep time will be given before the race begins.

Using Sweeping Movement requires a certain amount of your acceleration gauge.
You can check your horse’s stamina UI for your acceleration gauge, which will fill up as you use your Drift skill.
Please note that continuously using the Drift skill for short periods of time will greatly reduce your racehorse’s speed.

 

Once the prep timer ends, the Old Moon Grand Prix will automatically begin, and the race ranking will be determined in the order the riders go through all the checkpoints and the finish line.


Tip!
If you take the wrong path during the Old Moon Grand Prix, press the Escape icon on the upper left-hand corner of the screen to return to the track. You can use this ability every 5 seconds.
