Ok guys. Time to talk about a chocobo race again. I think this will be done on one of the weekly event days since we have the most people online at those times. Sorry I cannot make it for a weekend but the weekends have been very slow lately. Please vote on which day is best for you and we will go from there.
Even though this will be a fun event, I wanted to give out some prizes and with the help of Magbest we will be able to give prizes for the top 5 finishers. Thanks Mag^^
The race course will only be posted a few hours before the start and may involve airships so be prepared. Teleporting or using return will NOT be allowed. Spells and other forms of quick WILL be allowed for when you are running in town or your chocobo gets maimed and you have to run. Getting your chocobo in town will NOT be allowed, you can only call him once you are outside. Artherial gate teleportations are NOT allowed. Changing jobs during Race WILL be allowed.
I think thats about it on the rules. I may change or add some things in the next week or so but we'll see. Im looking at a time frame of 2 weeks from now. That should be plenty of time for the new people to get their chocobos.
Prizes: 1st Place - 1,000,000 Gil - Sentinel Gauntlets 2nd Place - 500,000 Gil - Sentinel Gauntlets 3rd Place - Sentinel Gauntlets 4th Place - 250,000 Gil 5th Place - 100,00 Gil
Im hoping to do it this week but may wait for a few more slackers to get their chocobos… :)
Ok Here is the course we will be adhering to. We will start at the west thanalan shipping docks and head towards Uldah. In Uldah you will run to the airship and take a ride to Limsa. In Limsa you will run and not get your chocobo until you are outside the main gate and head in a counter clockwise direction towards bloodshore and iron lake. From Iron lake you will continue towards skull valley and then back towards Limsa. From there it will be a foot race to the finish on the bridge. I will be the finish line inside the city on the bridge.
Again no teleporting or returning. If you die you are out of the race so if you are a lower level you may want to trail someone else who will get the aggro :)
Meet up at the docks tonight and also it would be cool if you could all get on mumble to chat while we race. Let me know if you have any questions.
Why do we have so many Sentinel Gauntlets? lolRaina
Sorry I was trying to be funny when I posted that from my phone and forgot to come back here and reply correctly. You guys can thank Magbest for those. He was generous enough to donate them for the race. Thanks Mag
