Challenge thirteen races across Outland in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges to exchange for rewards with Maztha in Valdrakken. Complete all Outland Cup races on Gold to earn the achievement Outland Racing Completionist: Gold, Outland Racer title, and Ruby Riders of Azeroth tabard. Head to Valdrakken and speak to Lord Andestrasz near the Rostrum of Transformation to pick up the initial quest.



New rewards are available for purchase with Riders of Azeroth Badges: Drake Racer's Scarf, Outlandish Drake Racer's transmog set, new dragon customizations, Valdrakken Accord Insignia, and Manuscript of Endless Possibility that randomizes mount customizations each time you mount up on a customizable mount.

• The introductory quest for the Outland Cup has been changed to require the player to complete all the races.
• Players will now be rewarded with 80 Riders of Azeroth Badges for completing the quest.
• Mount customizations will now be used when racing in the Outland Cup.
• Players will be granted a maxed out Dragonriding Talent Tree when racing in the Outland Cup.
• Players that haven't unlocked dragonriding yet will also be able to fly the race courses using loaned dragonriding mounts.
• The Grotto Netherwing Drake and Flourishing Whimsydrake have been added the the list of available loaned dragonriding mounts.
• Since worldwide dragonriding is now available, you will no longer be dismounted after completing the race if dragonriding is unlocked on that character. If dragonriding hasn't been unlocked, you will be dismounted after completing a race.
