To see your points in the current season (and its prizes), go to this page.

You are also able to view your season and events history on your profile page, under the Seasons & Events section.

Standard rules for league events apply. Please click this link if this is your first race event.
A guide has been posted here which covers general aspects and strategies of racing.

Dead characters will still receive reward points.

A summary of Alternate Start events:

Unlike regular races, Alternate Start events do not begin in Act 1, Normal. They can begin in any act or difficulty after that. These areas are the same level as they appear in the regular game, and are not scaled down for these events.

To compensate, Alternate Start Events provide pre-levelled characters with unallocated skill trees, who start with basic gear and skill gems appropriate to their level. These race types are also voided.

This event begins in Act 3, Normal, in The Sarn Encampment.

Characters start at Level 22, with 25 unallocated passives. They have allied with Eramir when dealing with the bandits.

A summary of Time based events:

Time based events are designed to create a competitive environment where players compete not by character experience, but by their ability to progress through the game and complete specific objectives, such as killing bosses.

The boss required to be defeated for this race is: Malachai, The Nightmare, located in The Harvest.

  • The time recorded is based from the beginning of the race, not when your character is created.
  • Characters will not appear on the ladder until they have completed the objective.
  • Characters are not required to have completed the time based objective in order to receive points for the other objectives, such as points awarded for reaching certain levels.
  • Characters who die after completing the objective will still be counted for receiving reward points.
  • Points are awarded at the end of the race, do not delete your characters until they have been moved to the permanent leagues.

Boss Kill Prizes:
The following are awarded to all players to complete them, not just the first.
  • Kill Piety in Normal difficulty: 1 Reward Points.
  • Kill Dominus in Normal difficulty: 1 Reward Points.
  • Kill King Kaom in Normal difficulty: 1 Reward Points.
  • Kill Daresso, King of Swords in Normal difficulty: 1 Reward Points.
  • Kill Malachai, The Nightmare in Normal difficulty: 5 Reward Points.

Hype?
The feeling when you know that you must logout, but do not..
(i ran past big pack o ftittybitches, rare with other allies can't die, bluepack and some whites, run past into a deadend and then decided to fight) xD
d:-D*
Rip to volatile mob on the run to Daresso. Love getting deleted like that.
Died to Malachai on his 3rd heart :( would have gotten my first ever top 10 if I hadn't.
This is actually FUKIN HARD!!!*

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Act 4 is amazing, the rest of the game is zZzZzZzZzZz

Although this is pretty much the only race that we get to do act 4, so that might be part of the reason why - I'm not sick of it!





Spoiler
I was feeling totally hipster so I went Blood Magic + Swords LOL

It was real bad, I do not recommend

shit (as were all my other weps)

these 4 were GODLY by my standards

shit



EDIT: ooooh more stories!!! I could not DPS down Barkhul fast enough so the area got REALLY OUT OF HAND. Blues everywhere. 100% would have logged out and reran it if it wasnt a race. Somehow I was able to slowly leap slam + decoy totem the arena back under control and pulled it off. One of the few times I wish I was recording, such was the epicness.



*As melee; scumbag casters and archers need not apply

GG, I took it way too easy.

edit: Piety in Belly is way harder than Malachai. I have no idea how can she dish out so much damage to 2k armour and fortify.
ProjectPT was right.

I find Malachai to be easier than Kaom and Daresso now TBH. Poor guy has been nerfed so many times... still a fun fight that takes a bit of patience, though.

This was the first race season I participated in seriously and I had loads of fun!

Trying to keep my place in the Top 20 is starting to drain me though, you top racer's are machine's! so I think I will call it a day.

Best of luck to all of you still chasing the prizes and position's :)
Rolled so many flasks looking for remove bleeding. Never happened. Didn't matter but it slowed me down a lot in the last half of act 4.
