You start as Human. Press 4 to see the race. Only one quest can be active, so do not pick up a race while an island unlock is in your quest panel. A race you have finished can be equipped again at its NPC. That re-equip was shown for Azure Dragon Soul.

Order that protects gate fish
- On Desert Island, lock every Legendary. Give White Tiger the ones at 1,000 kg or more. Keep any weight for the three Snow Island unlock fish, which are a separate set.
- Skip Phoenix Soul until you have spare unequipped books. Attaching the only copy of Taiji Hooking Art blocks both this quest and the V2 upgrade plan.
- On Volcanic Island, pay the Fossil Island gate with the heavy Ancient Trihorn Fish, Stormblade Shark, and Lavascale Dragonfish first. Then give Azure Dragon Soul any later Legendary fish. The race does not care about weight. The gate does.
White Tiger is the travel race. Azure Dragon is the luck race for the Mythical fish the Dread Fish Rod asks for. Neither one is an official ranking.
