Valiant Quests

Becoming a Valiant

The First Time

Completing The Aspirant's Challenge makes available one of the following quests (depending on your race) from Magister Edien Sunhollow [76,24] in the Sunreaver Pavilion:

Completing any of these quests gives you an Achievement: Argent Valor.

Completing any of these quests makes you a Valiant of your race's faction and gives you access to Valiant daily quests. (These replace the Aspirant dailies, which are now barred to you.)

Becoming a Valiant Again

Becoming a Champion makes available ("unlocks") any of the following quests except for those factions for which you have already been a Valiant:

Completing any of these quests makes you a Valiant of another faction and gives you renewed access to Valiant daily quests. (The quests are the same as the Valiant dailies you have done before, except that the questgivers are different, and the reputation gains are for the new faction.)

Valiant Quests: Dailies

In a classic example of Blizzard's left hand not knowing what its right hand is doing, Valiant dailies theoretically require a character level of only 78. Currently, however, you cannot *become* a valiant (and thus get any of the quests) until you are level 80.

For Horde players, Valiant daily quests begin in, and return to, the Sunreaver Pavilion [76,24], the Horde tent in the southeast corner of the Argent Tournament Grounds. (See map.) There are five versions of each daily - one for each faction - but only one version is available at a time. Each version is identical except for the questgiver and the faction reputation reward. Any or all of the four available daily quests can be done every day.

The Grand Melee
Jousting quest (example) to defeat any three Valiant NPCs at the Horde Valiants' Ring [75,26] using your skills in mounted combat.

  1. Equip a lance; outside the Horde tent (Sunreaver Pavilion), mount any available stabled mount; and ride a few yards west to the Horde Valiants' Ring.
  2. Remember to click the Defend icon or the 4 key repeatedly until you are surrounded by three green shields. Refresh as needed.
  3. Approach and target any of the Valiant NPCs waiting on the edge of the ring.
  4. Right-click to talk to them, and choose the only available option to challenge them and start your joust.
  5. Use any combination of Thrust (the 1 key), Shield-Breaker (the 2 key), and Charge (the 3 key) to batter your opponent until it surrenders.
  6. Refresh Mount to restore your mount (and you, effectively) to full health before challenging another NPC.
  7. Repeat steps 2-6 to defeat two other NPCs.
    • With the easing of restrictions in patch 3.2, it is now feasible to fight more than one opponent from the same faction. However, once you defeat any NPC, you must wait at least five minutes before challenging another - Champion or Valiant - of that faction.
  8. When you have defeated three Valiants and collected three Marks of the Valiant, return to the questgiver in the Sunreaver Pavilion.
Rewards:

A Valiant's Field Training
Quest (example) to kill 10 Converted Heroes southwest of the Valley of Fallen Heroes. (See map.)

Rewards:

At the Enemy's Gates
Killing quest (example) to the Court of Bones in southern Icecrown.

  1. Go to the camp [49,71] in the Court of Bones, just south of Corp'rethar, the Horror Gate. On the Icecrown map, it's at the bottom of the "E" in "CORP'RETHAR". (See map.)
  2. Dismount, equip a lance, and mount a Stabled Campaign Warhorse.
  3. Use Defend until you are protected by three green shields, and then go hunting.
  4. Boneguard Lieutenants, Boneguard Commanders, and Boneguard Footmen are clustered south [51,78] on the cobblestone path (the southerly gray-brown path on the map), just north of a large staircase [51,79 - 52,83].
  5. Boneguard Scouts are scattered all over the Court of Bones. You can scarcely avoid them.
  6. Using the standard mounted-combat skills, kill your quota of targets:
  7. Return to the questgiver in the Sunreaver Pavilion.

Rewards:

Daily Sword Quest
Each day, at random, one of the following three retrieval quests will be offered. Except for the questgiver and the rewards, all are identical to their Aspirant counterparts.

Rewards:

Valiant Quests: Final Quests

For Horde players, these quests also begin in, and return to, the Sunreaver Pavilion [76,24], the Horde tent in the southeast corner of the Argent Tournament Grounds. (See map.) There are again five versions of each quest - one for each faction - but only one version is available at a time. Each version is identical except for the questgiver and the faction reputation reward.

  1. The Valiant's Charge
    Collection quest (example) for 25 Valiant's Seals acquired by doing the daily quests above.

    Rewards:
    • 250 reputation with The Sunreavers
    • 250 reputation with the appropriate city faction
    • 13g23s (at level 80)

    • Fairly obviously, this is the Valiant equivalent of the Aspirant quest, Up to the Challenge.
    • You can pick up this quest as soon as you become a Valiant, but there seems no advantage to doing so until you have enough seals to complete it.
    • Conversely, complete this quest as soon as you have 25 seals.
    • Until you become Champion of all five city factions, leftover or "extra" Valiant's Seals can be saved and used with your next Valiant faction.

  2. The Valiant's Challenge
    Jousting quest (example) to the Argent Valiants' Ring.

    1. Equip a lance, and mount any available stabled mount outside the Horde tent.
    2. Ride to the Argent Valiants' Ring [69,20] on the far west side of the Argent Tournament Grounds, just north of the Argent Pavilion. (See map.)
    3. Speak to Squire Danny [68,20] on the west side of the ring, between the two banners.
    4. Defeat the (summoned) Argent Champion (another NPC) in a joust. (For detailed instructions, see Jousting.)
    5. Return to the questgiver in the Sunreaver Pavilion.

    Rewards:
    • 250 reputation with The Sunreavers
    • 250 reputation with the appropriate city faction
    • 13g23s (at level 80)

    Becoming Champion

    Completing any version of The Valiant's Challenge makes you a champion of the city faction for which you have been doing Valiant daily quests and gives you a corresponding achievement:

    If you are exalted with the appropriate faction, you will get a second achievement:
