Sky Race is a competitive Co-op vs Co-op feature where you earn Race Points by completing Tasks. Race Points earned allow you to collect rewards in week-long Race events! Compete with other Co-ops in the leaderboard using your Race Points to progress in the Leagues.
The Sky Race unlocks at Level 20, and players have to be a Co-op member to participate.
This feature can be accessed by tapping on the hot-air balloon button in the sidebar menu or visiting the blimp located at the far left side of the Farm.
Tasks:
Tasks require you to complete objectives on the Farm in order to earn Co-op Race Points. Some examples of Sky Race tasks are as follows:
- Complete Visitor Orders
- Harvest and Craft
- Win Exotic Animal Quests
- Earn Coins
- Clear Rubble
- Fully Load Boat - To count for the Sky Race goal, all three milestones for the Boat Orders must be achieved.
You can choose one Task to complete at a time from the Sky Race Task Board. There’s a limit to the number of Tasks a Co-op can complete per race, and it varies depending on which League your Co-op is participating in. Choose a Task from the available Tasks list, then tap the Start button.
Accepting and completing Tasks comes with a time limit, so be sure to consider that before taking any Task. The Co-op Race Points you earned for each Task are added towards the milestone rewards and Leaderboard. Completed Tasks also reward you with Tokens to spend in the Sky Race Store.
Scroll down on the Tasks list to see other lists such as the Active Tasks and Task Journal. The Active Tasks shows all Tasks accepted by either you or your Co-op, and currently being worked on. On the other hand, the Task Journal shows a record of all Tasks that were completed, cancelled, or expired.
You can also see your progress on the Task by tapping the Task progress button on the right side of the screen.
You can discard a Task you have accepted by tapping on the trash bin button.
When you cancel a Task, not only that you won’t earn Race Points nor Sky Tokens, but that it will also incur a penalty on your Co-op's total score. A canceled Task will reduce the count of Tasks left as well, so choose your Tasks carefully.
You can also use the pin button to reserve a Task for 12 hours if you plan to take it after another Task.
Your Co-op will also see if you have any pinned Tasks. Make sure to discuss your strategies on pinning Tasks as other members of your Co-op won’t be able to take somebody else’s pinned Task until the reservation expires.
Use the Request button to ask your Co-op for items that you need help with.
Not being able to complete a Task within time will result in a Failed Task. You will be given the option to use Gems to extend the timer as long as there’s still enough time before the race ends.
Sky Race Weekly Pass
Located at the bottom of the screen, during an active race, look for the hot air balloon with a lightning bolt button and get the Sky Race to get 10% or more reduction on all Sky Race Task requirements. This Pass will be active for a week.
Note: The Sky Race Weekly Pass only to the Farmer who purchased it, and does not apply to the entire Co-op. Other Co-op members will need to get the Pass if they would also like to enjoy the Tasks reduction.
Races and Seasons:
Tap the Season tab to view which Sky Race is currently in progress, and when the season will end. Each Season contains 4 Races and each Race lasts one week. There is one off-season Race between Seasons.
Each Season comes with a theme and brings new limited-time or seasonal content into the game. Seasonal content is available for purchase in the Sky Race Store until the start of the next Season.
At the beginning of each race, you need to start a Task in order to participate.
Tap on the Race tab and look for your Co-op’s badge to view your current standing on the leaderboard of your League, indicated by a number in yellow. The Race Points you’ve earned from completing Tasks move your Balloon in the Race.
Race Leaderboard and Milestone Rewards:
As your Balloon progresses in the Race, your Co-op unlocks milestone rewards.
In the Race tab, you will also see the Total Points your Co-op earned in the current Sky Race. Keep completing Tasks to earn more Race Points. Get the most Race Points for your Co-op to reach the top of the Leaderboard!
Scroll down on the Tasks and tap on the Statistics button to see a breakdown of contributions within your Co-op.
Leagues:
At the end of each Race, the top 3 Co-ops in the Leaderboard are promoted to the next higher League while the bottom 3 Co-ops are demoted to the next lower League. Co-ops in 4th-12th place will remain in their current League.
Reach the top of the Leagues to get better rewards for your Co-op.
Season Leaderboard:
Once you have reached the Gold League, your Co-op’s two highest scores for the Sky Races will count towards the Season Leaderboard. Beat all other Co-ops around the world and reach the top of the Leaderboard!
Sky Race Store:
You can use the Tokens you earned from completing Tasks in the Sky Race Store. Tokens earned during the Season can be used until the start of the next Season. New Seasons of the Sky Race will have new rewards in the Sky Race Store.
Note: If you change Co-op while a Sky Race is in progress, you will not be able to contribute to your new Co-op's Sky Race progress until the next week. This is done in order to safeguard the integrity of the game and ensure that Sky Race remains a fun and challenging event for all. If you intend to switch Co-ops, make sure to do it when a given Sky Race week or season has finished.
