Walkthrough & Notes

This quest is available to players who have purchased the Riders of Rohan legendary expansion. You play as a level 75 War-steed which has special skills, see below. NOTE: You have 3 minutes to complete this session and the timer begins when the session starts, even before talking to the Stallion. To successfully end the race (and the session), you must talk to the Stallion of the Horsefarm and click "Finish Now" before the timer runs out. [21.5S, 51.1W] Remember to use the Galloping Flight skill, it can be used twice during the race if used early on. Avoid the mud holes because they apply Muddy-footed, a -25% or -30% Run Speed debuff for 10 or 20 seconds respectively. The track has 9 gates arranged clock-wise, starting and ending with the Stallion. As you pass through each gate, watch the quest objective arrow to locate the direction to the next gate. If defeated or the time expires you will be returned to the Hengstacer Farm. Warhorse Skills: Buff Skills  Galloping Flight  Free to Trot Melee Skills  Rearing Stomp  Back Kick Note: This material refers to capabilities utilized in Descendant of the Mearas and Discovering the Descendant Session Plays -- created PRIOR to the release of Riders of Rohan. After extensive testing, these experimental efforts were determined to not be practical for general use and therefore were never made available in Mounted Combat in the final release of Riders of Rohan, but continue to be available in the Session Plays. For information about War-steed capabilities made available in the Riders of Rohan expansion see: Mounted Combat.
