Objectives

Present Arcanist Taelis at the Argent Tournament with 15 Aspirant's Seals to signify you're ready to undergo the aspirant's challenge.

•  [Aspirant's Seal] (15)

Description

When you have mastered the skills of the aspirant, you may choose to take the aspirant's challenge. The challenge will assess your mounted combat skills and assess whether or not you're prepared to become a valiant. Should you pass, you will be able to join your capital city's delegation as a valiant.

When you are ready to begin the challenge, bring me fifteen aspirant's seals.

Progress

Do you wish to take the aspirant's challenge?

Completion

Very well, I will make the arrangements.

Notes

Aspirant's Seals are a reward from completing Argent Tournament daily quests, a few of which are available in order to complete this quest. Completing all of the quests rewards five seals a day, so three days will be required to complete this quest and advance the chain.
