Existe um caminho mais fácil para cumprir essa conquista, conforme dica dada pelo skybow94Eu dos comentários em inglês:

Monte em sua própria montaria, pegue a quest com o NPC, afaste-se um pouco dele e coloque seu personagem pra correr em direção ao início da corrida, e então fale com o NPC para iniciar a corrida (enquanto você está andando!).

A cinemática vai começar, mas você permanecerá em sua própria montaria, então basta coletar os 10 checkpoints e cruzar a linha de chegada.

This achievement is a reference to the 2010 DreamWorks film How to Train Your Dragon, in which there is a dragon race at the end of the film.

Lovely little bit of flavour, always loved the many references in the achievement system. :)

You get an hour-long buff called "1st Place" and, apparently, music that comes with the buff. Nice stuff!

You can use this TomTom macro to show nodes on your maps, but beware that the crazy arrow usually doesn't select the proper "next" checkpoint, so I recommend you turn off automatic tracking or simply ignore it, instead use map or minimap for overview of the race checkpoints.
/run local z,t="Jade Forest",{58.7,46.9,60.4,52.9,61.8,54.6,64,51.1,66.7,51.5,66.1,42.5,66.2,35.9,61.2,25.2,59.7,31.5,60.6,39.4}TomTom.waydb:ResetProfile()TomTom:ReloadWaypoints()for i=1,#t,2 do SlashCmdList(z.." "..t.." "..t)end

It's much easier to the shortcut with a picture. As you can see you mostly save time on the last part, just be sure you get the checkpoint marked before turning and such, it's easy to miss these flags if you rush too much!

You might as well finish with 10 stacks of Ventos de Popa (for Esquadrilha da fumaça) as it's on the way, not hard, just don't deviate too much, there are plenty of cloud rings to fly through! Good luck and practice a round or two if you fail, you are bound to get first place for Como cansar seu dragão within a couple of tries!

If you are having difficulties reaching 1st place, you are able to 'cheese' this by doing the sky race in a group. In a group of two people, you can start the race, and head forward to the 1st checkpoint (Getting credit for 1/10 and 2/10). Next, veer to the RIGHT and collect the 3 checkpoints under the bridges. Finally, you and your friend collect the final checkpoint near the finish line. You should be at 10/10 and first place.

Good luck!

does the buff you win not give you anything when you get first? I feel like this achievement and reward is underwhelming. Also, a lot of these quests were bugged for me, I never could get any quests from my pet. Everything I experienced with this grind was not fantastic.

Whoever is flying Cinder is a filthy cheater.

Got to the finish line 5-10 seconds before him and flew through and still got second place.
Twice in a bloody row.

Comentado por Sygmoral

You can only try this achievement while on the daily quest Corrida Celeste, which is periodically available upon hitting Revered with Ordem da Serpente das Nuvens. It is not up every day, so check back every day and have patience...

You need the daily to be up only once: keep retrying by abandoning and restarting the quest.

Use your auto-run button. I lost to the black one 5 times in a row by moving forward manually - autorun worked like a charm.

Comentado por skybow94Eu

I Found a nice way to do this achievment ( 19/11/2012 ) If you auto run Just before Instructor Windblade does the Cinematic You get teleported away but the Quest is still going you can use your own mount To fly through the checkpoints, The Speed buff from clouds do not affect you on your own mount but if you have 310% flying it i easily done i ended up passing the ( Black serpent Rider who usualy beats me after the first 3rd checkpoint Note i have done this on two characters So abuse it while you can Good luck and Hope you do it Remember just before the cinematic Auto run Gl and happy hunting :)

I got my Azure Could Serpent mount and never once have seen the race day (took me about 2 weeks of dailies to complete like normal). I have also checked back every day for about a week since getting the mount and still no race. Anyone else have this issue on The Venture Co. server?

If you didn't get it the first time, abandon and start again! It seems that the hunter glyph Pathfinder doesn't work here.

Comentado por Neevee

Just did this daily and took ages to finish the race, got lost as it was my first time doing it and had to go back to find missed checkpoints. Still finished in first place - very strange. Still, I'll take the achievement and extra valour points!

Comentado por capnbiff

Ever since Skyshattered, I have been wary of race achievements, so I held off on this one on my main for months. Today, I was sending an alt through on his first race. It's been a while since my main was here, so I forgot part of the course and the NPCs flew far ahead of me and were all out of sight when I finally got to the finish line. For some reason the quest did not register as completed when I flew under the finish line banner. I did a 180 turn and flew under the banner the wrong way, intending to turn around again and re-cross it. However, as I crossed the line going the wrong way, I got the achievement!

Not sure if this was repeatable (hoping it was), I hopped on my main and attempted the autorun strategy mentioned by skybow94eu, but I did not click fast enough and was stuck in the race. I hauled my main out around the course, and the NPCs left me in the dust as before. When I got to the finish line, I flew over it, then turned around and flew under it the wrong way, just as I had done earlier on my alt. DING! Achievement credit again!

I have no more characters presently able to test this method, but I'm pretty sure I did the same exact thing twice in a row and got the Ach both times. Please try it and, if this works for you, uprate the comment so others will see this tactic. It's hard to imagine that we're 5 months into the expansion and no one has stumbled on to this trick yet.

I used the auto-run technique, but I still finished in fourth. I decided to try again with the technique but this time combined it with using the shortcuts in the video posted by Annalisse, and got the achieve no problem!

Comentado por dsbryant

Here's my secret to getting 1st Place.

Climb aboard your favorite flying mount.
Accept the quest when "The Sky Race" is active. I had to make several trips over several days until it popped.
While still mounted, tell Windblade you're ready to begin, but IMMEDIATELY hit your run key.
You will automatically run off the screen a bit and remain out of sight while the rest of the riders assemble.
When the race starts, you'll reappear on YOUR mount, which is much faster than the dragons provided.

Be aware, the cloud ring buffs do not count on your own mount, but you dont' need them.
Fly through all the checkpoints and easily win the race.

If you mess up, for example, you're a bit slow in running once you tell Windblade you're ready and end up on a provided mount, abandon the quest and try again.

Comentado por BLazeddruid

Anyone know, how to tell which day the Sky race is happening.

Comentado por Nueve

- Remember to set your View Distance to High / Ultra in order to see all checkpoints well
- Use the glitch, that skybow94Eu described below (Still working in 5.3) - turn on autorun, while starting the cinematics.
- If you cannot remember the way (like me) ... There is one racer named "Cinder" - He is always the first one, just mark him and stay very close to him - he flies almost the same speed as your 310% mount with lvl 25 guild perk, so make sure you dont lose him. When you are heading to the finish, try to get in front of him - and the achievement is yours.

Happy racing!

Just realized how unfair, and hard this achievement is to get for those who can't run WoW in high graphics...

Comentado por Vindicatr

I finished the daily for the first time a couple months ago & took third place. I've been checking back with Elder Anli (the quest giver) every day since my first attempt. Never been able to do the race again because the daily hasn't been available again. Anyone else having the same problem?

Comentado por slagathor

OK I just finished this achievement How To Strain Your Dragon and In a Trail of Smoke. After some research and trying some of these tips, the thing that worked best for me is Practice. You will come in first place if you don't miss one flag and if you can get 10 stacks of Fleet Winds. Your path and pattern its not real important just that you don't back track and keep the speed buff.

To Practice: You can abandon the quest as many times as you want, I just stopped wherever I messed up then "landed" my serpent on the closest mountain and dismounted. Fly back to the quest giver and abandon then start over.

Comentado por Azrilar

The buff text for winning 1st (typos intended!).

"1st Place
Fiinished in 1st place in the Sky Race! The smell of victory is sweet."

For winning the bag gave me a token for 15 valor points that expired in 2 hours...and I was already at cap and max...

Comentado por Mircioku

I just got confirmation from a GM, if you are wondering why other people get the daily for the achievement and you don't, don't despair, the daily is individual based , not realm based, so just keep up the hunt for it. If you are exalted and you can fly the serpents, you have all the requirement for the daily.

GL hunting it, i`m 2 weeks and counting.

It appears that completing achieve Esquadrilha da fumaça and hitting all the checkpoints, you automatically get Como cansar seu dragão as well. Race day finally came and I first got Como cansar seu dragão on my main, then proceeded to do Ordem da Serpente das Nuvens dailies on my jc for the mounts. On my jc, I figured I'd fart around and get the Esquadrilha da fumaça on her. I just focused on getting the 10 stacks of Ventos de Popa and cross the finish line. I wasn't after the Como cansar seu dragão since I had already just gotten it on my main, so I was fine with getting disoriented between checkpoints 7, 8, & 9 while trying to get through the acceleration cloud rings. I ended up losing a lot of time there. When I finally crossed the finish line, my jc had gotten both achieves. Good luck!

Comentado por 857821

Ventos de Popa seems to have less speed boost after patch 6.0. Fly speed is obviously slower with high stacks than it was. Como cansar seu dragão seems impossible to complete atm.

Any1 else not able to do this in 6.2 ? The checkpoint under the bridge (which is supposed to be the 7th is not working). Submitted bug report and ticket.

HOW TO FINISH AFTER 6.0

As of the state change the race seems bugged, and won't let you get credit for a specific marker ( servers may vary ).

Work around - after accepting the quest, get about halfway through the race and join a custom group to CRZ onto a different server. The other dragon racers will disappear. You will now be able to get credit for all race waypoint.

Not sure why, this was down ranked, but at the time of the submission it was the correct information.

As one of the checkpoints is heavily bugged (atleast for me) I had to do the rather "coward" way. Not because I wouldn't be able to do it otherwise, but because it's frustrating that it simply doesn't work.

How I got the Achievement:

1.) start the race.
2.) find a way to cross-realm (Add-On, friends, w/e).
3.) change the realm and get back to your realm. The NPCs despawned and you can do the race without a time limit. You may ask why would you do that - well,just keep reading.
4.) get to the checkpoint that doesn't work.
5.) cross-realm again. (you shouldn't join a raid ofcourse)
6.) the checkpoint now should work (atleast it worked for me)
7.) finish the race

It's kinda sad I had to do it this way.

Good luck.

Horrible Design. The clouds are 100% RNG positioned.

I would just cheese it with the autorun method because this design is horrible. You can't have NPCs that are already on 100% buff and then have RNG clouds. It would be a great achievement if it had no RNG clouds.

Comentado por Katsunga

Ok, I just found the ultimate way to do this achiwment, it is based on the "auto-run"-glitch which is ongoing here. It means that you while mounted on a flying mount, you start auto-running at the same time as you start the race from the nice pandalady.

But I was not fully aware of the fact that you were supposed to be mounted on your flying mount, so I started auto-running while dismounted. Simple to say, I auto-ran off the cliff while the cinematic was playing and died xD

I then ressed and ran back to my corpse, and not knowing any better, decided to try the race anyways, now on my flying mount.

None of the NPC-riders were in the race, but all the checkpoints were still up. I passed them all on my flying mount and got 1st Place :D

Comentado por Nyter

I found the easiest way to this post 7.1 was the following:

First, do it the normal way to get the 'In a Trail of Smoke' achievement. It doesn't matter what position you end as, just take your time and make sure you end with 10 stacks.

Now, abandon the quest and start it again, using the autorun bug. (Mount up on a flying mount, autorun as you accept the race and fly towards a pillar). You can now complete the race on your flying mount of choice, and this one is much faster (I believe the same speed as a 10-stack jade serpent).

Don't bother with the rings, just go from checkpoint to checkpoint. You should quite easily win with this tactic.

This is completely bugged in 7.2.5. I used my own mount via auto-run glitch - was ahead of black dragon the whole time (others so far back couldn't even see them). I clearly came in miles ahead of the black dragon, who i watch trailing in about 20 seconds after me. It said I finished 6th! I tried again and it said I was 4th! So basically there are some insanely fast invisible dragons ahead of you the whole time... Don't bother with this achievement till they fix it.

Comentado por Erithmael

Just ran this using the autorun bug. It worked perfectly! No issues at all in 7.2.5 as of now.

Comentado por phantom721711

Just completed this and I figured out that to use the Auto-Run feature on this Achievement and to successfully come in first, without it bugging and saying you came in 4th or 6th, when you really did come in first, you must win.......slightly. The achievement bugs if you win by a land slide apparently, but if you reach the finish line, just slightly ahead of the black dragon, then the achievement will pop correctly. All I did was do my normal run through and then pulled my camera back at the 10th check point. Then when I saw the black dragon pass through the 10th checkpoint I swooped in to the finish line, and it worked like a charm.

Ok this is a continuation of what Katsunga said. Go here first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0MDT1a4OL0

This video gives a visual of what you need to do (sorry in advance for his extremely annoying voice). When he says he's pushing down he means forward. I was on my mount when I took the quest, backed up a bit, then WALKED by her as I spoke with her and KEPT walking forward till I had flown off the cliff. I then let go of the forward arrow and then pressed it again. Don't know what this did, but it kept me from flying too far forward, as letting go of forward stopped me and I didn't continue moving when I pushed it again. I kept it held forward the second time as the timer clicked down and started the race. I began exactly where I was, not down in the water like he did (though I was prepared for that). Basically I started ahead of everyone else and had my 310% mount. I still saw the bugged black rider as I flew the course (he stands on air in various spots for me), but I still finished 1st.

I have to say that it's REALLY annoying that this has been bugged since 2012 and the only way we can get it is to basically cheat, rather than the devs just fixing it. Sigh.

Comentado por wicca1987

I am having a problem with this achievement, or rather the quest to start the race that leads to this achievement.

I am revered with the Order of the Cloud Serpent, I can see the serpents next to the quest giver (Instructor Windblade) so I know the daily is suppose to be up, but the quest is not there.
When I go talk to the Race Officiator (Toudu Tigerclaw) he says that I came in 2nd, which is strange because I have not done the race in years. So this seems bugged for me. Anyone else having this issue?

Tried with ticket but gm gave me the most vague reply :(

I just wanted to echo the other folks using the auto-run bug but clarify some things:

1. You CANNOT win in a landslide - you seem to get randomly placed (I got 5th, 4th, 6th, 2nd, etc). WAIT at the last checkpoint until you see the black dragon coming or the game bugs out your win.

2. I used a flying mount that also has a specific walk animation to assist with a good starting place after auto-running off the cliff (rather than flying off of it). A basic Wyvern/Gryphon is ideal IMO. I have no idea how y'all "walk" with a mount, mine always goes 100% on the ground. You can easily say "start the race" and press your middle mouse button to start walking off the cliff.

Still works today as of the day posted (last patch of BFA). Happy Achievement hunting, my friends! <3

I completed this after 3 tries using flight form as a druid. I lifted off and moved forward after talking to the npc and it had my character in the air a bit ahead of everyone else in the start. I don't have the fastest speed for flying, so taking major short cuts (goin up and over mountains and the big the is the last 3..the black dragon rider takes a not so efficient route which helps a lot.
