Talk:Mount race

Page name

I'm not sure I like this page. We could easily turn the "Race" page, which is currently a redirect, into a disambig page for both the playable races and links to the various race events(I think they different names), or just turn it into the main page with {{otheruses}} on top with an overview or something. - Do_odleplex 21:32, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm more inclined to believe (based on pure conjecture and no evidence whatsoever) that, when searching for 'race', people will be looking for the PoF races as opposed to playable races. As such, I'm more inclined towards an {{otheruses}} box over a slightly clunkier disambig. -- Traveler (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

No objection to both suggestions, but Traveler's Doodleplex's makes more sense to me. Karra Archflare (talk) 21:47, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

I think this page should be renamed to "Mount race" instead since that's what some of the races are called. The "Race" page should be turned into a disambig instead of a redirect. —Intricity (talk) 22:17, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Intricity's idea is my preferred solution. --Idris (talk) 05:10, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Rahil

Elon Riverlands npc is called Rahil. Located north-west of Palawa's Grace, near the fork in the road. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 118.92.155.124 (talk) at 08:12, 7 October 2017‎ (UTC).

Recommended Mount

For the Halloween race, I wouldn't recommend Skimmer or Griffon because of how easy it is to trigger the random teleport by lifting too high off the ground in certain places. The only merit I can think of for Springer is the increased health pool. I suggest changing the recommended from "any" to "Raptor or Jackal".

For the Wintersday race, Springer and Skimmer are at a big speed disadvantage and their utility isn't needed. I suggest again changing "any" to "Raptor or Jackal", and am wondering if Griffon also deserves being on the list. --- Karob • 21:13, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

The recommended mount isn't there to list the mounts that would win, but to list the mounts that are needed to get past certain obstacles. —Intricity (talk) 21:56, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

In that case, Skimmer (maybe), Jackal, and Griffon should probably be listed for Crystal Oasis, as they work well for the presented obstacles. And I think every mount is fine with the obstacles in Desert Highlands, though I can't remember. --- Karob • 23:37, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

SAB race

This page probably needs to be renamed again if we want to add it in. —Intricity (talk) 21:08, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

You transform into a Bee Dog at one point, so it's kinda sort like being mounted? --Idris (talk) 22:50, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I would call it the SAB event a race, but I wouldn't call it a mount race since being turned into a Bee-Dog is transformation, not a mount. It probably could be linked somewhere on the page as having the same elements of a mount race but doesn't involve mounts. - Do_odleplex 20:55, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Race time

how do you check your time for the race you just finished if it isnt on the daily or lifetime leaderboard? guess? take a screenie and subtract? i feel so duh.... -sleen —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.64.125.234 (talk) at 07:19, 3 November 2020‎ (UTC).

Last race time is displayed in chat. —Kvothe (talk) 11:32, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Rewards?

Maybe it worths listing amount of medalion earn by completing a beetle race event.

That is already listed on the respective race pages. DJemba (talk) 22:21, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I think a small note for the events and adventures wouldn't be bad, I just want to confirm something ingame before adding it here. ~Sime 22:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Lions Arch

Should the Lions Arch underwater skimmer race be included ? Separ (talk) 22:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

That's an adventure, not a mount race. ~Sime 22:49, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

It is an adventure that is a mount race, with timer, rewards and mount rentals exactly like all the other races. It should at least get a cross reference. Separ (talk) 02:05, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

All adventures have timer and rewards, and there is no mount rental. We made this page specificially for dynamic events that are races. ~Sime 02:21, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Looking at this page, it's only about events not adventures (which would bloat like heck once you account for griffon adventures and all the duplicate adventures for event races). Not every event has an adventure counterpart and vice versa, nor do all of either have rentals (rentals only exist in core/festival maps). Either do all adventures or none of them.
