Editing Snake Isle Dungeon Race (section)

==How to Participate==
The race begins in the afternoon at 12:30 PM and in the evening at 9:30 PM [[Servers|server time]]. However the portals to the race instance open 10 minutes prior to the start of the race and close 5 minutes after the race announcement. It's advisable to get into the race dungeon prior to the start announcement because the dungeon only has a 100 player capacity and most players will have a head start on you if you only port in just as the announcement appears. The portal to the race can be accessed by the [[Adventure Assistant or Khatru Pup]] in any major city.

Once you're in the dungeon head towards the starting line. It will have several clickable flags and a racing judge NPC. This is where you must wait to start your race. There will usually be a large group of people who will come in to do the race but it is usually nowhere near full by the time the portals close.

Once the system announcement appears notifying players that the race has begun you will be able to accept a quest from either the NPC or one of the flags to do the race. Quickly accept the quest and begin the race.

You will be required to complete 3 laps of the island and you must cross each of the 4 check points in consecutive order to complete one lap. The race island itself is fairly small and the course basically takes you around the perimeter of the island. There are pulsing arrows on the ground that show you which direction you should be traveling in. Apart from some water hazards and 2 hilly locations the race is fairly easy to complete.

'''Note:''' It's important to know there is a time restriction on this dungeon. Once you enter the dungeon you will automatically receive a quest called Take the Race. This quest is used to lock you out from participating in the race multiple times and to keep track of the time you have spent in the dungeon. Once it appears you will have 30 minutes to stay in the dungeon before you will be automatically ported out. When you accept the race quest from the start NPC you will also see a timer on it. This timer will also have a 30 minute count down but since you entered the dungeon earlier the Take the Race quest will run out before this one so it will port you out before this timer ever runs out.
