On the purpose of the Argent Tournament itself, [[Highlord Tirion Fordring]] makes the following announcement from the stage to the east of the Ring of Champions at the top of every hour:
 
  +
* Review the [[Alliance]]
  +
* Review the [[Horde]]
  +
* Finish the [[Old Gods' forces]]
  +
** Trim the information to acceptable standards
   
  +
==Character==
:Combatants of the Alliance and Horde! You are welcome under the banner of the Argent Crusade.
 
  +
* Add background to bosses with encounter journal lore
:To the south lies our goal. We will march to the [[Icecrown Citadel|Citadel]] and cut out the heart of the [[Scourge]] where it dwells.
 
  +
** <s>Cata</s>
:But this is no task to be taken lightly.
 
  +
** Wotlk
:A massive attack with every able-bodied man would end in needless slaughter. Every soldier lost would rise as the enemy. [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] would be left defenseless against the undead threat.
 
  +
** Bc
:Instead, we require a small, concentrated strike force for the attack to succeed. For that reason, we have created the Argent Tournament.
 
  +
** Wow
:Within [[Crusaders' Coliseum|these walls]], you will be tested. Your skill in combat will be matched against the fiercest dangers [[Northrend]] has to offer under the watchful eyes of your leaders.
 
  +
** Recheck when finished
:Your prowess, your might, and your cunning will be under close watch. These games will determine the best Azeroth has to offer.
 
  +
* Add RPG tags and categories to [[RPG character]]s {{RPG-inline}}
:The victors will take their rightful place in the assault upon the Citadel. We will stand together in the face of evil, and [[Arthas Menethil|Arthas]] WILL fall!

All rewards use {{loot|common|Champion's Seal|Champion's Seals}} as currency.

==Quests==
 
===Starting the Argent Tournament: Aspirant & Valiant===
 
The quest chain starts in the building to the west of the [[Crusaders' Coliseum]]. [[Justicar Mariel Trueheart]] directs questers to their faction's respective tents on the east side of the keep, where they must undertake a series of tests to join the tournament proper.

{{col-end}}
 
 
Also note that unlike the fishing and cooking daily quests, the 3 blade quests (A Blade Fit of a Champion, The Edge of Winter, A Worthy Weapon) are independent daily quests. Having one of them in your log does not prevent you from accepting the other two, should it be offered that day.
 
 
Completing the four available valiant dailies will reward {{cost|52|92}} and 5x{{loot|common|Valiant's Seal}} each day.
 
 
Over the course of championing all five faction's cities you can expect to gain 9,960 reputation with each capital city. Keep this in mind when considering champion-level quest rewards. The {{loot|Common|Champion's Writ}} can only be used to buy reputation tokens worth 250 reputation with one city at a time. Do not purchase reputation with a faction when you can reasonably expect to reach exalted status while doing the valiant chain for the rest of the cities. The {{loot|Common|Champion's Purse}} is a better alternative for players who already have high reputation with their faction's cities.
 
 
===The Black Knight chain===
 
{{:Quest:The Black Knight of Westfall?}}
 
 
===Goblin dailies===
 
These quests deal with the construction of the [[Crusaders' Coliseum]]. These quests do not reward any reputation, only gold.
 
{{:Quest:The Blastbolt Brothers}}
 
''N.B: The Goblin dailies will no longer be available in [[Patch 3.2.0]], as the Coliseum will be complete.''
 
 
===Champion dailies===
 
{{:Quest:Eadric the Pure}}
 
 
''N.B: {{quest|Threat From Above}} requires the completion of {{quest|The Black Knight's Fall}}. See above for the The Black Knight chain.''
 
 
''Completing these dailies will reward {{cost|52|92}} and up to 4x{{loot|Common|Champion's Writ}} or 4x{{loot|Common|Champion's Purse}} each day.''
 
 
''Also available for players not {{reputation|exalted}} with the Argent Crusade is {{questlong|Neutral|80 Daily|Contributin' To The Cause}}.''
 
 
{{stub/PTR|3.2.0}}
 
 
===Crusader dailies===
 
In order to be eligible for these quests, players are required to have earned the title {{title|[[Crusader (title)|Crusader]]}}. Several daily quests are offered randomly each day, one from each questgiver:
 
 
[[High Crusader Adelard]]
 
{{:High Crusader Adelard}}
 
 
[[Crusader Silverdawn]]
 
{{:Crusader Silverdawn}}
 
 
===Silver Covenant (Alliance) / Sunreavers (Horde) dailies===
 
In order to be eligible for these quests, players are required to have earned the achievement {{achievementlong|A Silver Confidant|faction=}} or {{achievementlong|The Sunreavers (achievement)|faction=}} by being {{reputation|exalted}} with the [[Silver Covenant]]/[[Sunreavers]] and being a [[champion]] of at least one racial faction. Several [[daily quest]]s are offered randomly each day, one from each questgiver.

* New daily quests to construct the great Argent Crusade coliseum for glorious battles to come
 
* All new rewards - new items, titles, banners, tabards, pets, mounts, and more
 
* All new achievements
 
* Many more festivities, and more to come in future content updates!
 
 
Players will find the Argent Tournament in Icecrown. Speaking to any Northrend flight master will get you on track to prove your worth to the Argent Crusade, your faction’s leaders, and all denizens of Azeroth!

== Patch changes ==
 
{{Patched|patch=3.2.0|note=The Argent Tournament Expands

* All new [[Silver Covenant]] and [[Sunreavers|Sunreaver]] daily quests and rewards have been added for players exalted with these factions. Rewards include tabards, new ground and flying mounts, and a new pet.
 
* Just when you thought you had seen the last of the [[The Black Knight|Black Knight]], he makes his astonishing return to the tournament. Wait, didn't you {{quest|The Black Knight's Fall|kill him}}?}}

==Alliance and Horde leadership==
 
At roughly 10-past, [[Thrall]], [[Garrosh Hellscream]], and a few [[Kor'kron Elite]]s arrive:
 
:{{text|yell|'''[[Herald Beluus]] yells:''' The Warchief of the Horde, Thrall, and Overlord Garrosh Hellscream have arrived upon the tournament grounds! Clear the way to the entrance!}}
 
:''Thrall, Garrosh and their escort appear from inside the [[Sunreaver Pavilion]] and walk along the path following the Ring of Champions, stopping near the middle of the ring.''
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' Garrosh, I expect you to control yourself here. I do not want a repeat of the Violet Citadel.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Garrosh Hellscream says:''' Pah! That was a show of strength, worthy of a leader. I only regret I did not kill [[Varian Wrynn|that human]] before [[Rhonin|the mage]] interfered.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' We are guests here, Garrosh, and you will conduct yourself honorably.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Garrosh Hellscream says:''' What honor is there in thrashing about with blunted sticks? This is a waste of time.}}
 
:''The group proceeds to the western entrance of the Coliseum, where [[Tirion Fordring|Highlord Tirion Fordring]] awaits.''
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' Welcome, Warchief Thrall. Overlord Hellscream.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' Thank you for the invitation, Lord Fordring. We look forward to observing these games.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Garrosh Hellscream says:''' Speak for yourself, Thrall.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' I hope you'll see the merit of these events in time, Garrosh. We cannot win against the [[Scourge]] if we continue to war against one another.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' Wise words.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Garrosh Hellscream says:''' Words of a fool, you mean. The Horde will destroy the undead without your aid, human, or that of the pompous king.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' Garrosh, enough!}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' Under my roof, gentlemen, I trust you will behave.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Thrall says:''' Of course, Tirion. I apologize for his outburst. It will not be repeated.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Garrosh Hellscream says:''' Bah.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' If you will follow me, then.}}
 
:''The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside.''
 
 
At roughly 25-past, [[Varian Wrynn]], [[Jaina Proudmoore]], and a few [[Stormwind Royal Guard]]s arrive.
 
:{{text|yell|'''Herald Beluus yells:''' His Majesty, King Varian Wrynn, and Lady Jaina Proudmoore have touched down upon the tournament grounds! Make way!}}
 
:''Varian, Jaina and their escort appear from inside the [[Silver Covenant Pavilion]] and walk west towards the Argent Pavilion.''
 
:{{text|say|'''King Varian Wrynn says:''' Tirion.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' King Varian, Lady Jaina. Welcome to the tournament. Your place in the coliseum is waiting.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Lady Jaina Proudmoore says:''' Thank you. It's the least I can do to support this; we need to stand together.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''King Varian Wrynn says:''' You ask much of me, Tirion, to sit and watch, trusting the savages to keep themselves in check.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Highlord Tirion Fordring says:''' My people are here to ensure they honor the rules of engagement. It will do your subjects well to see you in the stands.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''Lady Jaina Proudmoore says:''' I'm sure Thrall will have his people under control...}}
 
:{{text|say|'''King Varian Wrynn says:''' Perhaps. I doubt the effectiveness of this gambit. We would be better served preparing our armies for the final assault.}}
 
:{{text|say|'''King Varian Wrynn says:''' But if my presence is required in these games to gain your support in the battle, then I will remain. For now.}}
 
:{{text|emote|Highlord Tirion Fordring nods and gestures for his guests to follow.}}
