Objectives

Speak with Squire David to summon your opponent. Once you have defeated the Argent Valiant, return to Magister Edien Sunhollow at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

• Argent Valiant defeated

Description

You have trained hard as an aspirant, <name>, and now the time has come to test your mounted combat skills against an experienced opponent.

Equip your lance, then go to the stables outside the pavilion and mount the Sunreaver hawkstrider.

At the Aspirants' Ring on the northern side of the tournament grounds, you'll find a human child called Squire David. He'll ask if you're ready for the fight and call out your opponent.

Good luck, <name>. May your mount be steady and your aim true.

Rewards

You will receive: 7 40

Completion

Congratulations are in order, <name>. You have bested your challenger and earned the right to advance to the rank of valiant.

Notes

Pick up the steed in the same location as for the mounted daily quest, then run to the opposite side of the keep to the north, just north of the profession trainers. Talk to the Squire, let the summoned combatant come to you, then run away and start the fight. It's fairly easy.
