The objective is to move through the rings in sequence using mounts. The next ring is shown on the map (Skimmer can be rented from the Mount Trainer [Skimmer Rental] NPC just north of the starting point.
) using an orange flag on a black circle. The adventure ends at the final ring, which takes you across a finish line. AMost of the race takes place over water, where the skimmer has the fastest movement speed. However, there is a portion which covers land, in which case it is useful to swap mounts (to either Raptor or Jackal) to move over more quickly for that small segment, and then swap back to the skimmer when the water portion continues.
