What the achievement asks
Take part in every Little Scales Daycare whelp race. Ten points, account-wide.
The five
| Race | Whose race |
|---|---|
| Runaway Rusziona | Rusziona |
| Zaleth on the Go | Zalethgos |
| Zhoomsa | Zhusadormu |
| Pole Position Posidriss | Posidriss |
| Blistering Belastrasza | Belastrasza |
Celetiros stands at 13.80 59.00 in Valdrakken and offers whichever race is available that day.
Taking part is enough
The wording is exact: you have to participate, not win. Players who fell apart halfway through Zhoomsa still got the criterion. There is no medal to chase here and no reason to reset a bad run.
That said, do not abandon them. The same five races are five of the sixteen quests in Whelp, There It Is, and that achievement wants them completed. Starting a race and giving up credits this achievement and not the other one, which means running it again later.
Do not be mounted when you accept
This is the bug everyone hits. Accept the race quest on foot. If you are mounted, the game puts you through two or three loading screens and drops you in the ocean off the Dragon Isles, out of bounds, without the quest.
If it happens anyway, the things that have worked for other players are to dismount, disable WeakAuras, and if it still loops, close the game and the launcher completely before trying again.
Why this takes weeks
A whelp's race only becomes available after that whelp's own daily quests unlock, which is day 3 of its four-day cycle in Hey Nanny Nanny. And the races themselves rotate rather than all being offered at once.
Fifteen days to raise five whelps, plus the rotation deciding when each race comes up, puts the worst case at about nineteen days. Players who tracked it found European realms landing on that worst case and American realms a few days better.
Nothing about that is under your control. What is under your control is starting early and never missing a reset.
Where it fits
