Outland Cup Dragonriding Event Returns With New Rewards

The Outland Cup has returned to World of Warcraft, sending players back to the shattered remnants of Draenor for various dragonriding races and a bunch of new rewards. So, if you enjoy skyriding challenges and quick badge farming, make sure to log in and join the race. The event runs from February 24 to March 9.

During the Outland Cup, you can take part in 13 different races spread across zones like Hellfire Peninsula, Nagrand, Netherstorm, and Shadowmoon Valley. Each course comes in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse versions, which gives you plenty of chances to earn better times.

The event can be started in Valdrakken, Stormwind, or Orgrimmar. And if you do not own a dragonriding mount, the event provides one for you, so everyone can participate.

Outland Cup Rewards

Completing races rewards Riders of Azeroth Badge, which can be exchanged for cosmetic dragon customizations, transmog pieces, and other event items. Finishing every race on Gold also unlocks a special achievement and the Outland Racer title.

If you missed the event last time or still need a few Gold clears, this is a good moment to finish your runs and collect the remaining rewards before Midnight launches.

Full details from Blizzard’s official post are below.
