Kalimdor Advanced: Gold

The Un'goro Crater one seems to be the one people are having the most trouble with. For me, the key was to tilt the camera upward briefly when using Skyward Ascent. While the animation of Skyward Ascent is happening, gravity won't slow you down, so by doing this you can get some extra height that can then be turned into downward momentum.

Hey all, I hope you're also having fun with Kalimdor Cup. I love this event.

Oof, I was really struggling with getting gold in Advanced and Reverse on several of these. I will say the two add ons that I am using now have helped a lot. Dragon Rider and Dragonriding Speedrun are super helpful. Video above, also mega helpful.

Everyone of the comments here that mention pacing your vigor out helped me a ton. Dragon Rider has a meter that fills up every time you boost/surge forward. If you keep in nearly full the entire time it helps pace using vigor. I think I was kind of wasting my vigor before that.

Does anyone know how often these dragonriding events will happen? I'm trying to get gold before the event is up this time around, but wow gold advanced/reverse is tough.

Best of luck on the races, all. Cheers.

Best advice I got was to save up vigor. Instead of using it almost on CD, just keep your speed initially above 900, only using when you drop below. When you have 4-5 vigor, start using them, and keep using them so you stay at max speed. This helped me so much.

I had multiple races where I was far from the gold and had spent more than 10 tries, ending up skipping them. When I was told about reserving vigor and changed my tactics, I was one shotting almost all those I skipped, and a few with 2-3 tries.

This is a great example of what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6frHPPapGmE
