How WoW Dragonriding race gameplay works

There are a few key elements to racing that will either help you along the way or slow you down. You can check out Dexerto’s full Dragonriding guide here. However, here’s just a quick breakdown of the two main obstacles you’ll be facing during races.

What to avoid – Stun Orbs and Elemental Orbs: Unfortunately, the races aren’t exactly going to be a clear path for you. When racing, be sure to avoid both Stun Orbs and Elemental orbs. When hit with a stun orb you’ll be stunned momentarily. When passing through an Elemental Orb you’ll be slowed down for two seconds.

What will help – Vigor Orbs and Wind boosts: While some orbs will slow you down, Vigor orbs – which will appear as green in the sky – will restore one Vigor for you as you pass through. The other helpful item in the sky are wind boosts which, as the name suggests, will increase movement speed when you pass through them
