Comment by davidcollantes

Eight comments, and no one has said where the tournament area exactly is. Where is it? Care to elaborate?

Comment by Kagonpeak

Required level is 80 I believe. Went to the tournament today (Level 76) and was disappointed to see I could not take any quest. 80 is not yet confirmed since it could be 77,78,79,80 . I just think 80 is the most logical.

Comment by Kagonpeak

-Confirmed.

To start questing the Argent Tournament , you have to be level 77.

I achieved level 77 a couple of minutes ago and got a invitation to the Argent Tournament by mail. (From Justical Mariel Trueheart)

Have fun everyone .

is this a 24/7 event b/c i cant find it on my calander...

Comment by Praiseworthy

here is the most info i have gathered about the argent tournament so far, more info will be added when i get it

this was added in patch 3.1

it is at the north-east corner of icecrown

the faction for the tournament is called the Sunreavers, but that only for the horde side, i dont know what the alliance faction is called for the argent tournament, cause, well, i am tauren, so if i can, i will try to foind otu the alliance faction for the argent tournament's name

the easiest way to get there for the first time is to go to dalaran, got to the FP, and talk to the guy on the hippo gryph, after u do so, talk to the flight master at the argent tournament grounds, and then u can fly there at any time from any place in northrend

the questing here starts with talking to justicar mariel trueheart in the big argent crusade tent at the argent tournament grounds

there is indeed an innkeeper there, pretty simple to find them, for the horde, in the horde tent, mutual for alliance as well

you must be exalted with a city to buy their mounts, armor, pets, banners, etc

you can get the mounts for 100 champions seals from ur races quartermaster in the horde/alliance tents

starting out in the argent tournament, u will be spending a lot of ur time on a hawkstrider or a horse, which u can fight on, but only dummies or other players that u have challenged to a joust

and yes, i said joust, to even get on a hawkstrider, u must have completed a few quests, and have a lance weapon in hand, which is obtainable from any lance rack that u can easily find around the argent tournament grounds

the level requirement for the argent tournament is level 77 just like any other place in icecrown

there is plenty of dailies there, so u will never leave empty handed

u get the argent gruntling/argent squire by becoming a champion of a race of ur faction, and yes, he does carry the flags of the race u r the champion of

this is a permanent event, it will never end... ever

champions seals are gained from quests at the argent tournament

that all the info i have so far, if there is any other ways to get champions seals, then please say so, or i will add it when i learn how

oh yeah and one more thing

try to ride a cool mount there when your not jousting, i have seen some pretty cool ones just sitting there, from mechano hogs to black proto drakes, so ride a good one, as in a flying mount from an instance such as the bronze drake, a reputation mount like the red drake, or best of all, a PvP mount, like the black war bear if u have one, cause you dont want to look like that one guy in the entire place still riding their racial mount, no offense if ur that guy, lol =)

until then, i hope my comment was useful to u guys :)

Comment by Lartoon

To Turn in this Quest, Magister Edien Sunhollow can be found in the Sunreaver Pavilion of the tournament grounds. The pavilion is in the Southeast Tent close to where you picked up your first dailies. If you fly over the tent you will see a dull "?" quest completion mark.

If you wanna keep an eye out what you're standing are with these guys, you can't look for "The Argent Tournament" or something like that in your reputation tab.
They are called "The Sunreavers" in the rep tab.

Edited for grammar misstake

If you're having trouble with mounted combat, DominateYourServer put up a pretty good tutorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E41T73tR5Pg

They also have a complete guide to the Argent Tournament:

The Argent Tournament

I - The Argent Tournament
Welcome to the Argent Tournament - a gathering of heroes from around Azeroth on the Lich King's doorstep in Icecrown. As the Argent Crusade continues their efforts against the Scourge, they also promote competition through the system of mounted combat. Grab a lance, hop on a mount, and hold on tight.

1) The Argent Tournament (Alliance)
2) The Mastery Quests
--- Mastery of Melee (Alliance)
--- Mastery of the Shield-Breaker (Alliance)
--- Mastery of the Charge (Alliance)

II - Aspirant
Now that you have learned the basics of mounted combat, you must prove yourself further in both mounted combat practice, unmounted Scourge combat, and adventuring to find ancient artifacts from maidens in lakes before you have the right to represent your faction in the Tournament.

3) Up To The Challenge (Alliance) You must complete the following daily quests to gain Aspirant's Seals:
--- i - Training in the Field (Alliance)
--- ii - Learning the Reins
--- iii - One of the following daily blade quests (different every day):
------ A Blade Fit For A Champion (Alliance)
------ A Worthy Weapon (Alliance)
------ The Edge of Winter (Alliance)
4) The Aspirant's Challenge (Alliance) - In this quest, you must defeat your first NPC in mounted combat. Use the attacks that you learned before. When the NPC runs away, use your Charge attack once he's out of range and once you pass him, turn around and throw a Shield Breaker. Try to keep your shield at 3 at all times. When you're not charging or shield breaking your opponent, use the Thrust attack.

III - Valiant
Congratulations! You have passed the Aspirant's Challenge and now may become a Valiant of your faction. As you hone your skills, you must now prove yourself worthy against competitors from all over Azeroth and even fight for the Crusade's cause at the footsteps of Icecrown Citadel.

5) A Valiant of <faction> - The quest giver will now lead you to the representative of your faction so that you may begin the road to Championship. You must complete your faction's quest chain first.

5B) If you have already become a Champion of your faction, you may now choose another faction to become a Champion of. You may only be working towards one faction at once, but can eventually become a Champion of all of the home cities of the Alliance/Horde.

6) The Valiant's Charge Much like Up To The Challenge, you must complete daily quests to gain Valiant's Seals.
--- i - At The Enemy's Gates
--- ii - A Valiant's Field Training
--- iii - One of the three blade daily quests
------ A Blade Fit For A Champion
------ A Worthy Weapon
------ The Edge of Winter

7) The Valiant's Challenge - Once again, you find yourself facing off against an NPC in order to gain a title - but this NPC is stronger and a bit harder than the previous ones. Champion's start off with 3 stacks of shielding and renew it often. In addition to the tactics used against Valiant's, you may also occasionally have to "kite" the Champion by running past it a good bit and shooting one or two shield breakers. In addition, instead of charging it when the NPC runs away, you can try to fit in two shield breakers and get close to him before he can retaliate. Remember to keep your shielding up the whole time.

IV - Champion
Congratulations! Now that you have proven yourself in combat, the Argent Crusade has agreed to recognise you as a Champion of your faction. You may now take part it more rewarding dailies and earn Champion's Seals to purchase mounts, companions, armor, banners, and weapons.

8) A Champion Rises
9) Eadric the Pure (Or, if you are a Death Knight)

Now that you have completed the primary quest chain for the Argent Tournament, you are given an Argent Gruntling. This guy, when summoned, will follow you around like a normal companion. However, you can also speak to him and tell him to carry a banner of any faction of which you are a Champion of. In addition, you will be awared a hefty 10 Champion's Seals (that's two days of dailies) for the first time you complete the chain. You may now do daily quests to get up to 5 Seals a day to purchase rewards. You can purchase rewards from quartermasters of any faction you are a champion of - the weapons and armor are the same for all factions, but the mounts, banners, and companions are different for each home city.

You may now go back to step 5B and choose a different faction to be a champion of.

Champion's Seals Dailies:
Threat From Above (Group) (Ignore the one in Outland) (This quest is only available after you complete the Black Knight quest chain, see below post)
Battle Before The Citadel
Among The Champions
Taking Battle To The Enemy

For every daily quest you complete, you will receive one Champion's Seal (two from the group quest Threat From Above) for a total of 5 per a day. In addition, you will be given the choice between a Champion's Writ, which can be used to purchase reputation boosts for any faction you are a Champion of, or if you don't want reputation, a Champion's Purse containing 10 gold (awarding you a total of 23g for each daily).

The Black Knight

The Black Knight quest chain is a medium-length quest chain that involves mounted combat and regular combat.
A competitor known as the Black Knight has arrived at the Tournament - and everyone who faces him dies. The Argent Crusade's leaders suspect foul play, so they dispatch you to solve the case.

1) The Black Knight of Silverpine/Westfall?
2) The Seer's Crystal
3) The Stories Dead Men Tell
4) There's Something About the Squire
5) The Black Knight's Orders
6) (Requires Championship of a faction) The Black Knight's Fall

Completing this chain grants you the achievement It's Just a Flesh Wound and unlocks the Champion's Seal daily group quest Threat From Above.

Rewards Purchasable with Champion's Seals

Achievements

Argent Aspiration - Easy, simply take the first quest and complete it.
Argent Valor - Complete the quest Up To The Challenge and speak to your faction's leader to become a Valiant.
It's Just a Flesh Wound - Complete the Black Knight quest chain and slay the Black Knight.

Champion of <faction> - Become a champion of <faction>.
Exalted Champion of <faction> - Become a champion of <faction> and gain an exalted reputation with <faction>. Title Reward: <name> of <faction>

(Exalted) Champion of the Horde - (Become exalted with all 5 home cities of the Alliance and) Become a Champion of every Horde Home City.
(Exalted) Champion of the Alliance - (Become exalted with all 5 home cities of the Alliance and) Become a Champion of every Alliance Home City.

Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde - Become exalted with every home city of the Horde, become a champion of every home city of the Horde, and gain exalted reputation with the Argent Crusade. Title Reward: Crusader <name>
Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance - Become exalted with every home city of the Alliance, become a champion of every home city of the Alliance, and gain exalted reputation with the Argent Crusade. Title Reward: Crusader <name>

Tilted! - Defeat another player in a mounted duel. Use the last command on the vehicle toolbar on your Tournament mount to challenge a player. Players can think, though, so they will probably be much harder than NPCs.

Lance a Lot - Defeat a rider of all 10 factions (both Alliance and Horde) in a mounted duel. Players do not count, only the NPC Valiants and Champions. This achievement can be achieved as soon as you become a Valiant, but the Horde and Alliance Valiants are in different rings.

There is currently no Meta-Achievement for the Argent Tournament, likely because the tournament is still progressing and is not yet complete.

Additional Quests

- The Blastbolt Brothers (No quest prerequisites required. Not required to start the next two quests, but it's reccomended as it's only a few steps away)
--- A Chip Off the Ulduar Block - Use the goblin "chisel" to blow up rock slabs in certain areas in the Storm Peaks. I frequently visit the Inventor's Library at (38,43). Step back because the bomb does damage if it explodes near you. Once the rock explodes, any player can collect the bits so I'd round them up fast.
--- Jack Me Some Lumber - Head to the Great Tree in Crystalsong Forest around (14,36) and look for highlightable level 1 oaks nearby. Use axes on them to get 2 logs. An elemental will attack you. You can try to snare/freeze/stun it and run to another tree, chop, and repeat or you can kill it. Whichever way suits you best.

- Contributin' To The Cause - Quest that requires you to donate 10g to the Argent Crusade. Grants 100 reputation with the Argent Crusade. Only really useful if you're not exalted.

On a final note, have fun at the Tournament

Magister Edien Sunhollow is at 76.3, 24.3

Comment by grenced

A pretty sweet glitch that mose people probably know is:
When you jump when you're on 1 of your faction mounts provided by the argents', if you try to dismount while in mid-air u will freeze in mid-air, its pretty neat :P Nevermind apparently i was going though a glitch that only happened to me

Comment by troll30482384

smoke weed all day

Comment by Avamarine

Not sure why, but I can't do any of these quests... They're unavailable to me, is that because I didn't start them at 77?

Comment by Poso

FYI If you dropped the quest at level 77, you won't be able to speak to Edien Sunhollow, unless you first pick it up again from Justicar mariel trueheart at the Pavillion at Argent Tournament.

Comment by CJANF

Do not faction change during the Argent Tournament because all quest, REP., and achievements will be reset.

Comment by sarah686

Has anyone done this clue for the Egg hunt?

Comment by SpakyTwo

Talk to Jean Pierre Poulain in Dalaran to the left of the Cold Weather Flying trainer on the Flight Deck. He will give you a taxi to Dalaran. I thought it was quest (used to be in Wrath).

Comment by DtM2000

If you are completing the dailies this is a very handy macro. It means you only need one button to carry them all out. Making it slightly easier for the long grind ahead.

/use Weighted Net
/use Fresh Chum
/use Mistcaller's Charm
/use Confessor's Prayer Book
/use Light-Blessed Relic
/use Earthshaker Drum
/use Captured Kvaldir Banner
/use Kvaldir War Horn
/cast Flaming Spears

Hope it helps.
