The Argent Tournament

The Argent Tournament is a new world event introduced to the game with Patch 3.1. It takes place at the north of Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown in an area controlled by the Argent Crusade, a new coliseum is being built here and will be complete in a later patch (most likely 3.2).

For the moment, players can only run vehicle-based daily quests and joust with another player on the back of their horses, there are also a few daily quests to help with the rebuilding of the Coliseum but it doesn't seem to be the main focus of the zone right now.

After talking to the NPC in the Argent Crusade you will start the series of daily quests for your own faction/race, most of these quests involve mounted combat using the following skills:

  Spell Description
Thrust A melee attack that inflicts 3250 damage. 6 yd range, Instant, 2 sec cooldown
Shield-Breaker A ranged attack that inflicts 2000 damage and removes one layer of Defend from the opponent. 5-30 yd range, Instant, 2 sec cooldown
Charge A charging attack that inflicts 8500 damage and removes 1 layer of Defend from the opponent. 8-25 yd range, Instant, 6 sec cooldown

Rewards

Quests
Your goal in the Argent Tournament is to become the champion of a race. Only your own race is available when you start questing in the zone and you have to complete enough quests to become its champion. After that, you will be free to quest for any other race of your faction. Every time you become the champion of a race, you unlock the pet / mounts / tabards / banners rewards for it. (You can't talk to other races quartermaster if you haven't started running quests for them yet)
