Arkesia Grand Prix

**Arkesia Grand Prix** is an event in Lost Ark. This event was released with the "Hunt for the Guardian Slayer" update on March 10th, 2022.

## Summary

* Looking for a change of pace after intense Abyssal Raids and Competitive Proving Grounds matches? Look no further than the limited-time Arkesia Grand Prix racing event. In this mode, two teams of seven players (7v7) will compete against each other, racing around a course while transformed and attempting to progress toward their goal while preventing the other team from progressing. Progress can be earned by reaching the goal and eating cakes!

## Event details

* Duration:
	+ March 15th, 2023 to May 10th, 2023.
	+ March 10th, 2022 to April 21st, 2022.
* Combat level 50 or above.

## Starting quest

* The introduction roster quest is "A Surprise for Adventurers" and it is given by the Arkesia Grand Prix Manager.

## Racing Event

* An event occurs on even hours (12AM, 2AM, 4AM, 6AM, 8AM, 10AM, 12PM, 2PM, 4PM, 6PM, 8PM, 10PM) in any major city (Rothun, Stern, Luterra Castle, Kalaja, Vern Castle, Great Castle, Nia Village) where a portal can be taken to go to the racing course. It can be entered once per day and requires the daily roster quest "Off to the Races", accepted from the Arkesia Grand Prix Manager NPC.
* Once you have entered the portal you will be transported to a waiting area where you can view the ingame guide. After a short period of time another portal will appear in the waiting area. This portal will transport you to the start of the race course. Once the race begins you will be transformed randomly into either a green Naruni or a pink Naruni. This will be your team colour for the race. Each team has 7 players.

### Naruni Skills

Your skill bar will change to Naruni skill bar at the start of the race.

 Q

### Objective

* The aim is to get to the finish line and eat the cake by using the Naruni skils to assist you in navigating the race course and slowing down the opposing team members. The team that reaches 6 out of 7 first Naruni's that have ate the cake (600 points) at the end of the Grand Prix wins. The progress can be tracked in your quests bar on the right.
