it is a long forgotten sport in the history of the ARKS.

it involves riding on the back of a de malmoth for as long as possible before being knocked off or falling off.

junior leagues use regular malmoths though

i lasted for 2 minutes on my recent attempt:

I can see people cheating by using wire lance/twin dagger to get back on without touching the ground.

There is also a small area by a corner where you can jump to get some elevation to jump on del mamoth.

If your framerate is low enough you the catapult can put you right on it's back

Usually I land right on top of his back but I glitch and fall through him. I managed to stay on top the entire time once though.

Question!
Must you stay standing on his back the entire time? Or can you jump in the air as long as you don't land on the ground?

The best is when I was standing atop the Malmoth's back and someone in my party died.
The Malmoth politely brought me close enough so that I could use a Moon without leaving my perch.

I was able to sit on top of the De Malmoth for about 3 minutes before he crushed me about a minute ago as of the time of post.

I've tried riding De Malmoth before, but always glitched through him/her/it. However, having seen these pics I too shall join the illustrious ranks of the De Malmoth cavalry, for the lulz if nothing else.

To have a qualifiyng attempt:

-you need to not be using any kind of melee weapon(to prevent jump minpulation).

-as long as you stay on the back you may jump.

I'm guessing Twin Mechs would count if one used Bullet Squall (or whatever that airborne downward shot PA is for Twin Mechs).

Because technically those don't count as melee, yet they allow jump manipulation as well.

someone should make a suggestion to segac to include this as an event/eq or code of some kind XD
