Jump Puzzle Racing League
Welcome to the Jump Puzzle Racing League! This is a brand new community activity focused on racing through jump puzzles!
This activity is for everyone! Not just speedrunners!
All jumpers are welcome and are incentivized to participate as there are multiple rewards that are not speed-based. This is a seasonal activity with each season lasting 3 months. At the end of the season, scores and times will be tabulated and rewards will be given out.

How to Get Rewards
By setting times and/or competing in races during a JPRL meet. There will be a set jump puzzle list to set your times on. There will always be 4 tracks per season.
Activity Types
There will be four types of activities that act as avenues to rewards:
Time Attack
This one is simple. Complete the designated jump puzzle as fast as possible. Time attack will require you to record your run to ensure the validity of your times. No splicing your videos/editing your time! This is an immediate removal from the JPRL or JPRL season. All videos will be subject to a peer review and submissions are private! Times for each track will not be shown until the end of the season.
Circuit Race
These races will be held in-game meets that occur once a month. Here you will race against people of varying skill. Do your best. No shortcuts that are not intended. This will lead to a warning first then followed by a disqualification for the month's in-game meet.
Team Race
This activity will be held on in-game meets that occur once a month. Here you will be assigned to a team of racers for a relay race. You will be placed into a team for the in-game meet (balancing will be at the proctor's discretion). As a team you will decide what your team name is and the order of your racers. Your order may change at any time between sets.
Tag
This activity will pit you in an arena where you will run from the racer who is "it" and survive a set duration of time. If your trade window is opened consider yourself tagged. This is an honor system based event.
About Rewards
All racers at the end of the season will be rewarded with a minimum of 2 million gil for their participation regardless of skill level!
So please participate!

More on Rewards
There are many rewards for participating in the JPRL. These rewards are distributed at either in-game monthly meets or at the end of the season.
Typically smaller in scale and mostly monetary
Much larger and can range from large sums of gil to IRL items:
- • A game of your choosing from GoG
- • Commissioned art of your character
- • XIV store cosmetics
- • And more!
Special rewards will be given out to not only the fastest racers but very specific seasonal achievements (think of Mario Party accolades at the end of the game - most coins collected, most mini games won, etc).
