Objectives

Strike a Melee Target with Thrust 5 times, use Shield-Breaker on 2 vulnerable Ranged Targets, use Charge on 2 vulnerable Charge Targets and then return to Scout Shalyndria at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

If you lose your lance, you can get another from any of the Lance Racks near the stables or the Silver Covenant Pavilion.

  • Use Thrust on Melee Target (5)
  • Use Shield-Breaker on vulnerable Ranged Target (2)
  • Use Charge on vulnerable Charge Target (2)

Description

Most of the tournament's competitions require competitors to master the command of a mount in battle. In order to familiarize you with mounted combat, we've put up training dummies all over the northern part of the tournament grounds.

Visit the stables on the southern side of the grounds, near the main ring and mount up on the Quel'dorei steed. Familiarize yourself with the tactics available to you and use them to defeat the three different kinds of training dummies.

Rewards

You will receive: 2x [Aspirant's Seal]

Progress

How goes the mounted combat practice?

Completion

Well done, <name>. Mounted combat is often hard to pick up for those accustomed to fighting on foot. I have no doubt you'll continue to improve with practice, which is more than I can say for some warriors.

Notes

The targets all require slightly different tactics to get quest credit.

Melee Target
Close to melee range and use Thrust while maintaining Defend stacks to mitigate the damage from the counterattack.
Charge Target
Use Shield-Breaker until the Charge Target has no remaining Defend stacks, then charge it.
Ranged Target
Simply attack the target using Shield-Breaker until you strike it twice with the attack while it has no Defend stacks.

For the Horde version of this quest, see H [25-30] The Argent Tournament.

The Argent Tournament unlocks the beginning quests for the Argent Tournament. Three daily quests in the Alliance tent are unlocked, as well as the quest chain starting with A [25-30] The Black Knight of Westfall? from Crusader Rhydalla.

Objectives

Speak with Arcanist Taelis at the Argent Tournament grounds to enroll in the tournament.

Description

We have invited you here to test your skill and valor against others who have bravely opposed the Scourge. Many have been our divisions, but the time has come for heroes fighting under all banners to test their blades against one another in preparation for facing our mutual enemy.

Arcanist Taelis is the Silver Covenant's representative to the tournament and he'll enter your name into the rolls and begin your training. Seek him out inside the large Alliance tent in the northeastern part of the grounds.

Completion

I have entered your name in the rolls, <name>. As an aspirant you will train with others who wish to compete in the tournament and hone your mounted combat skills. Once you have proven yourself, you will be allowed to enter the lowest rank of competition on behalf of your capital city.

Rewards

You will receive the achievement Achievement reputation argentcrusader [Argent Aspiration].
