This is a flying mount and although it will not have wings, it will have cool footprint in the sky.

To acquire this mount, first visit Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker. He jokes that back in the day, he helped Paladins with their Class Mount Quests which required them to collect many expensive ingredients. This time you have fewer materials to collect but you do need to get a Stonehide Leather Barding from a Leatherworker. Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker decides this is not strong enough, so he sends you to the Blacksmith in Dalaran. He wants to to collect 50 Leystone Ore and 1 Saber's Eye because he "likes to adorn pieces with something sparkly." Once all the items are fused together, you have an acceptable Plated Barding.

Once there, Lord Grayson reveals that your new mount will be none other than the purified mount of Lord Rivendare in Stratholme, Deathcharger's Reins. For this you will complete the Stirring in the Shadows scenario:

Choose Your Allies
Choose 2 paladins to accompany you through Stratholme. There will a set of six outside the chapel - two for each specialization.
Search the City
Search Stratholme for stashes of holy water and the three missing paladins. Destroy any unholy abominations you come across.
For this stage, you must collect 6 Stratholme Holy Water, defeat Rotmouth, and Pestulon, and free the three paladins who are captured in Ziggurats.
Return to Grayson
Return to Grayson and give him the holy water.
Grayson has set up camp in Elder's Square and thanks you for saving the paladins.
Imbue the Barding
Channel your holy power through your artifact weapon onto the barding.
Ride to Rivendare's Crypt
Find Baron Rivendare's remains in his crypt at the heart of Stratholme.
Baron's remains are not where you think they'll be, someone has stolen it!
Defeat Raemien
Kill Raemien the Soultaker
Raemien the Soultaker has stolen Baron's remains and wants to turn all of the trapped Paladins into Undead to spread the plague.
Speak With Grayson
When you're ready to leave, speak with Grayson and he'll see you returned to Light's Hope Chapel.
The mount is then shackled in holy light and taken back to Light's Hope Chapel. In the final cinematic, you purify the mount in Light's Hope Chapel by placing the Barding on its mane.

I'm just glad this mount doesn't magically sprout wings in order to fly.

Comment by lylarise

This is, imho, by far the worst looking class hall mount. Look at every other classes' mounts. This stays waaaaaay in shadows comparing to the other ones.

Edit 1: Wow, look at this downvotes. Thank you guys, you honor me as a Paladin main!
Edit 2: People asked me "What would make this mount better?" and personally, I don't know(~~more downvotes are incoming)~~ and the reason for that I don't work as a designer at any company nor did I use my graphic tablet in years, I'm not joking, it's been at least 6 years. So in my mind, everything could be better than this. Just look at the other mounts, compare them, then downvote this comment.

Comment by IloveMimiron

So...uhm, i see that this is a paladin mount, it's account wide etc. , but i don't see any class restrictions in the tooltip?

One can dream they'll let us use all class mounts from 7.2 on all classes, but i don't see that happening easily.

Would still be incredible for mount collection achievements.

Comment by Jacobstx

I like how obtaining this mount harkens back to the days of obtaining the original alliance Summon Charger.

Stratholme holy water? check.
Holy barding? check.
Purifying the soul of a Death Knight's mount? CHECK.
Exorbitant amount of money and reagents needed to get it? Thankfully not check.

Seriously, the 350 gold back then would probably equate to a few million in today's economy, and don't even get me started on transmuting Arcanite Bar.

Comment by steob16

For those seeking the colour variations they can be found as individual separate mounts wich you can buy from the dwarf next to the mission table in the class hall, after finishing the Power Ascended achievement for each of the respective weapons.

Paladin's Legionfall Campain Class Mount!

Once you have completed the achievement Breaching the Tomb you can pick up the class mount quest chain which starts with quest Worthy of the Title. This awesome mount can fly and even leaves golden hoof prints while riding or flying!

These are the three other currently available Highlord paladin mounts which can be purchased at Crusader Lord Dalfors for 1000 Order Resources, once you have unlocked all artifact traits:

- Heraldic Reins of the Valorous Charger need to unlock all artifact traits for The Silver Hand
- Harsh Reins of the Vengeful Charger need to unlock all artifact traits for Ashbringer
- Stoic Reins of the Vigilant Charger need to unlock all artifact traits for Truthguard

Comment by Valadicio

Looking like you no longer need a Saber's Eye, but a Suramarian Sapphire you buy with 500 Ancient Mana.

Comment by QuartrDollarKing

I'd thought it would have foldout magic wings like the Hearthsteed and Imperial Quilen since it has rather prominent jewels on the shoulders but it just gallops through the air like the Headless Horseman's Mount.

***CLASS MOUNTS AND ALTS OF THE SAME CLASS***

In case you are wondering... if you have a lower level alt of the same class, you WILL be able to use the class mount across ALL alts of that class.

My level 70 rogue can use the class raven that I earned on my level 110 rogue.

Quest line for the class mount Highlord's Golden Charger starts at Champion Cyssa Dawnrose on Broken Shore after completing Breaching the Tomb with a Paladin.

Worthy of the Title - travel to your order hall
Preparations Underway - buy or craft a Stonehide Leather Barding (by a leatherworker, costs 25 Stonehide Leather)
The Hammer of Dalaran - go to Alard Schmied in Dalaran
A Few Things First - bring him 25 Leystone Ore and 1 Suramarian Sapphire (vendors for the sapphire are Sundries Merchant in Suramar, one is here: /way Suramar 49.29 74.75 Entrance, costs 500 Ancient Mana. Use your Masquerade buff or he won't interact with you)
Leather to Legendary - watch the dialogue, pick up the Plated Barding from the anvil and return to your order hall
Stirring in the Shadows - use your order hall's exit to Eastern Plaguelands and travel to Stratholme. Talk to Defender Sterius to start the scenario and follow its story line.
You can ride inside. Defeat mini bosses (kill the trash mobs in front of the towers to let them spawn) and free the paladins after that.
/way 66.16 24.62 Rotmouth
/way 71.78 46.42 Osseine
/way 58.93 44.57 Pestulon
Return to the entrance, talk to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker and click the Blessed Mount Barding
Run to the end of the instance, enter the chamber and leave it again to start the fight against Raemien the Soultaker (focus on him). Let Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker bring you back to your order hall.

Highlord's Golden Charger will be added to your mount collection automatically after turning in the quest.

Other color schemes are obtainable by full skilled artifact weapons (Power Ascended for each):

Protection: Stoic Reins of the Vigilant Charger (blue/lilac)
Retribution: Harsh Reins of the Vengeful Charger (red/silver)
Holy: Heraldic Reins of the Valorous Charger (lilac/golden)

They are purchasable from Crusader Lord Dalfors for 1000 Order Resources.

Comment by tooltip

This item is not actually available to players. Highlord's Golden Charger is learned directly from Stirring in the Shadows.

Edit: I find all the down-votes amusing. Have you even bothered to notice the lack of a source tab? I did do the quest and I wasn't given a mount item. I was directly taught the spell upon completion.

Comment by slavedheart

So far, my least favorite class mount quest line, but not for the difficulty... just as a heads up, you will need to:

complete suramar quest line far enough to have disguise
hold 500 ancient mana
have access to a leatherworker

Not as long winded as the rogue, but if your doing it on an alt that hasn't gone through the suramar intro yet, you will be... you will be.........

Comment by Waterfuzz

You don't need to be Exalted with the Armies of Legionfall to get your class mount.
I got my quest on the broken shore while being Revered, after finishing Breaching the Tomb and both Pathfinder achievements.

Comment by Freeozy

Small, no wings, disappointed.

Comment by darkethereal

As of patch 8.3 i could still get my class mount for my pally and the 3 others, i have not done balance of power of anything like that, just the pally quests, order hall and broken shore stuff. ( taking into account i already had legion flying)

After you get you pally mount talk to crusader lord Dalfors (he is near the mission board)

costs 1000 order res for each mount.

The glowing reins of golden charger is mount for class paladin

Comment by WildWes

I did the full quest, did everything, and unlocked the mounts on one Paladin. This included the bridle glyph that makes this mount replace your divine steed.

On my alt Paladin, I could use the mounts but not buy the glyph. I went and did the full Paladin campaign and could not buy the glyph. It seems I'm going to need to literally do the full legionfall campaign on the broken shore to unlock the glyph.

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The information below is for those who want to complete this on an alt and already have a character that completed all of Legion's required content on a main character. Note that you don't need to have done any content in Legion for this, but you do need to start the Legion questline to get you to Dalaran and into your Class Hall, which is skippable.
Since I did not find updated information for completing this on an alt easily, here is what I found as of 2023:

Finish A Glorious Campaign achievement (your Class Hall campaign) - it takes roughly a couple of days, depending on your effort, but does have some timed missions you will have to do. Note that you can focus on the CLASS Campaign rather than the ARTIFACT Campaign - check your quest log to see where the quests fall if you are unsure. You will need to do the initial weapon quest and maybe a couple to set up your hall, but you don't have to get any reputation or go to any Legion zones to quest. I'd recommend doing all the artifacts for every spec just to have them and not get confused. Completing this should award you the Class Title at the end. If you did not receive it - you have not finished! If you don't have WQ for quests, see the step below.
Complete Uniting The Isles @ Khadgar in Dalaran - again, it is not required to have any reputation or do any pre-requisites. Go to Violet Citadel, take and turn in the quest instantly. You will need this to get WQs to do for your Class Hall campaign. You can do this at any point once you enter Dalaran.
Start Legionfall Campaign @ Krasus' Landing in Dalaran. You can skip ahead and not do the scenario.
Grab the Champions of Legionfall quest from Maiev - if it is not available, you need to finish your CLASS campaign. You don't need to do any other quests in the zone.
Head to your Class Order Hall.
Take and complete the questline for the new champion offered to you.
Once completed, you might see a quest on the map in your hall, but you can't take it/find it - go to Legionfall in Broken Shore again, submit Maiev's quest, and you should be able to start your mount quest right there. The mount quest is picked up in Legionfall, but it can take a second to load in. If you are not seeing it, try relogging.
Do the quest to obtain your mount. This will unlock all mount options that exist. You should have enough resources even if you started at 0 to buy everything.

Congrats, you are done! Some rewards may require extra effort, but all are available to get after these steps.

Some of paladin's unique Class Hall rewards are:
Highlord (Title)
Golden Charger (Mount)
Valorous Charger (Mount)
Vengeful Charger
Vigilant Charger
