Flag race challenge 

FLAG RACE: A guild vs guild jump quest that takes place in an icy map. Depending on the time, the map will either be red sky or blue sky. Flag race happens 5 times a day, the two earlier times you will get the red map, which the 3 later times you will be in the blue map. Different maps requires different strategies.

TIMES: Flag race happens at the same times each day. PST- 12 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM and 11 PM EST- 3 PM, 10 PM, 12 AM, 1 AM and 2 AM

HOW TO KNOW IF THERE IS A FLAG RACE: At the hours above, you will receive a pop up of an envelope above your characters head. Please make sure you are in major towns or normal monster maps, if you are in a party quest map or a boss map you will not be able to receive, or do the flag race. Once you click the envelope, it will ask if you would like to move to the flag race map. Click “yes”

MAPS:

There are two different jump quest course for flag race, red sky and blue sky. Both are icy, slippery and spawn random skills that can be use for the race. The red map which is the map chosen for the earlier time is a smaller map that allows you to choose if you want to go right or left. The left is shorter, consist of a lot of teleporting portals that shoots you to a certain direction and some jumping. The right side involves more jumping and less teleporting, however more skills drop on the right side for those who likes to use skills. The blue map is a one way map. It’s much longer and relies heavily on skills that spawns around the map.

SKILLS:

There are 6 different skills you will find randomly spawning on the maps. The rule is each person can only loot 1 skill ever 10 sec, once you touch it it counts as you looting it. However, if you have a pet, pets can loot as many skills as they like, no time limit. From left to right, the Shield (A) protects you from attacks like cannon balls (players can activate the cannons on the map and use them to fire cannon balls to knock off other players, and energy balls (F) a skill that allows players to throw an energy ball to knock other players around. Hyper jump (s) allows you to jump straight up into the air. It give good high range, but not anything crazy. Test it out yourself to see how high iy allows you to jump. Dash (D) allows you to dash forwards giving you a little more distance then walking. Energy Ball (F) use it to throw at other people who are not in your guild to knock them off platforms and mess up their game. Now the two most important skills. “G” and “H” both teleporting skills that allows you to teleport to a random guild mate on the map, or them to you. These two skills are very important and knowing how to use them is a game changer, especially for the blue map.  “G” the  “Go to” tele skill, allows you to teleport to a random guild mate in the flag race. This can either benefit you or screw you over depending on which guild mate you are being taken to. To be safe, it is best to use this skill when you are at the very bottom of the map.  “H” the “come Here” tele skill, allows you to summon a random guild mate to your location. This skill should only be used when you are near the finishing portal. Using this anywhere else can cause those who are ahead of you to backtrack, and no one wants that!!

HOW TO WIN: Now! The whole point of flag race is to pass the finishing portal 3 times, the first person to pass the portal 3 times will be placed in the winners box and trigger the time clock to end in 60 sec. Winning flag race, or even finishing flag race requires your guild to have team work and good communication with one another. Not everyone is good at jump quests, those who are good should try to get to the finish portal, while those who are not good should do their best to loot skills to either mess other guilds up, or try to teleport to the end somehow. If you are at the end and have a”H” us it to bring someone else up, if you don’t use it at the top, then you are pretty much wasting it.

POINT SYSTEM: Each person in your guild that enters the race who didn’t finish will gain 10 points for your guild. If someone finishes in first place they will gain 100 points, 2nd place 50 points, 3rd 45 points, 4th and after I believe 20 points. I may be wrong, but i’ll find out. Since no matter who wins the points, it all goes to the guild, everyone should help each other out, and not only think about personal winning.
