• Old Moon Grand Prix has opened wide!
  • Learn more about it on our official Wiki page <Here>.
• Opened the Old Moon Grand Prix hosted by the Stonetail Horse Club.
  • Old Moon Grand Prix is a horse race where 5–10 adventurers compete against each other in a racetrack.
  • Anybody can join the race by using the new race horses. We hope the races are an enjoyable competition for our adventurers.
  • You can participate in the Old Moon Grand Prix anytime between 9:00 AM–2:00 AM (UTC).
  • Old Moon Grand Prix is not held during Node/Conquest Wars.
• Added new race horse "Giorga Brisa."
  • You can purchase "Horse Emblem: Giorga Brisa" for 30,000,000 Silver from Stonetail Horse Ranch NPC Stable Keeper "Gula" and Old Moon Grand Prix NPC Stable Keeper "Miles."
  • You can now keep up to maximum 5 race horses in the stable as it has 5 slots.
  • Race horses begin to gradually pick up speed as they sprint. They will reach their height if you maintain sprint for a certain period of time.
  • Every race horse has their own unique "Power of Wind" and a gauge that will slowly charge as you sprint and drift in the race.
  • Large amounts of "Power of Wind" can be charged while drifting as long as you can. Short drifts will slower down the speed of the horse so use it with care.
  • Once the "Power of Wind" gauge becomes full, "Sweeping Movement" can be activated. When used, it will immediately propel the horse into a fast frontal sprint.
  • Use the "Power of Wind" and "Sweeping Movement" as a strategy to win the race.
  • Race horses are handled differently than normal horses. See below for the controls.

 

Acceleration	W (not pressing W will slow you down)
Turn	A/D (Left/Right)
Quick Stop	S
Sweeping Movement	F
Jump	SPACE
Increase Speed Limit	Q
Drift	A or D + S
Drift Acceleration	W during Drift
Continuous Drift	A or D + Hold S

• Acceleration gauge must be charged up to a certain amount to be able to use Sweeping Movement. Acceleration gauge can be seen at the Stamina UI and it will be charged when using drifts.

 

​

• Added "Balenos: Coastal Cave" as an Old Moon Grand Prix Race Track.
  • Balenos: Velia Coastal Cave has numerous curves and obstacles making the use of drift and obstacle evasion very important to win the race.
