Argent Tournament Dailies: At the Enemy's Gates

Congratulations, Argent Valiant! You've progressed past the Aspirant rank and proven your chops at mounted combat before your peers. You've even become a representative of your home city in the Argent Tournament.
Well, guess what? Playtime's over.
Remember, the whole point of the Argent Tournament is to train all comers into Scourge-killing badasses, so now that you've proven yourself, it's time to crack some decaying skulls. And this time, you get to do it on horseback.
Find out how after the jump.
Talk to your city rep in your faction's tent. You must have completed the entire Aspirant quest line, including the Aspirant's Challenge, to take part in this quest.

Your rep will inform you that some brave crusaders have set up a camp in the Court of Bones, just outside Icecrown Citadel, and it's your charge to head there and help them out.
The camp is just outside past Corp'rethar, the Horror Gate.

Upon arriving, you'll find a whole bunch of crusaders and a pack of stabled Campaign Warhorses. These are your mounts. The warhorses, not the crusaders.

Mount up and head north. The area is lousy with gargoyles, labeled Boneguard Scouts, who'll be your first target. They're very easy to kill -- simply use your Shield-Breaker ability twice and they'll be dead. Kill ten of these to complete your first objective.

Next up are masses of Boneguard Footmen. They'll come after you in groups, but the good news is that these are incredibly easy to kill. Just trample them with your horse! You don't even need to use a skill, just run them through.

Finally, defeat three mounted Boneguard Lieutenants. These guys start off with one stack of Defend, so pull them with a Shield-Breaker and cut them down. You may get some Footmen along with them, but they pose no threat. And make sure not to pull the Boneguard Commanders with them -- they're a little tough for a Valiant to beat and you don't get any quest credit for them.

When you're done, just outside of Corp'rethar is the The Conflagration, a great area to pick up your Field Training credit (10 Scourge slain) if you haven't gotten it yet.
With those objectives completed, head back to your faction's tent and receive your reward.
Reward: Valiant's Seal x1 and 13g 23s
Transmog yourself into an Avenger!

A good idea. I'll see if I can organize that.

I guess a flight point at the forward camp was too much to ask for. Nothing makes me hotter than pointless inconvenience. Enjoy the ten-minute flight on your slow flyers, folks.
Also, the vehicle interface still sucks ass.

There are still people that don't have epic fliers? Gold is as common as bones in Northrend. Stop spending it on auctionhouse Blues and Purples.

re epic flyers... couldn't afford the 12K gold to get my altstheir fast flappies when they reached 77 (now 80), just my main. The others have to cope with taxi service and slow flying until they've done enough dailies to pay their own way.

Let's remember that we're not all restricted to one toon. Epic flight fine, maybe a second if you've had enough play time and depending when you started, etc. Ok. But for people running a stable, give them a break, huh? I'm running 4 guys through the tournament. 2 (my main and a double gatherer) have epic flight. The other 2 (double crafters) don't. I suffer with the uber slow flying because th0se guys don't NEED to get anywhere quickly, and I'm not dropping 10k on epic mounts because some holier than thou type can't get over himself. So no need to belittle the guy, huh?

I've committed that kind of reading fail too. Quel'Danas, the bombing-the-Dead-Scar quest, going in on foot...

Do you have to be 80 to start the argent tournament?
Thayer Apr 16th 2009 11:20PM
Nope, you don't need to be level 80, just 77 with a flying mount and I'm not even sure if you need the flyer or not. I took my level 77 prot paladin out there today and got some good xp along with my rep. :)

If you have a priest or mage you should be able to get out there at any level. (Although I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get the quests below whatever level Blizzard set up) XD
