The Argent Tournament has finally arrived in Northrend, and players in World of Warcraft: Classic can enjoy the new content that includes upgrades to gear, non-combat pets, and a whole new roster of daily quests to finish. Unlike other dailies, however, the point isn't to grind rep but to gain special kinds of currency and rise through the ranks of the tournament.
There are different quest givers depending on a player's current rank, along with a series of introductory quests, some of which are repeatable later and others that are the backstory and lore for the Argent Tournament within the World of Warcraft. It's handy for a future Crusader to have a guide to navigate through all of them.
The Argent Pavilion
This is where players will go first. The Argent Pavilion is a sanctuary where all races are welcome to speak with Justicar Mariel Trueheart and begin their adventures with a quest, The Argent Tournament. She also directs you to the construction site with The Blastbolt Brothers.
The Argent Pavilion is located to the west of the Horde pavilion. This is also where players can find a peaceful chapel and Crusader Rdyalla, the source of the Black Knight quests.
The Black Knight questline introduces players to the Argent Tournament with an adventure that takes them through various points throughout Azeroth, but they aren't daily quests. Certain parts of the chain are only accessible to players of Champion rank or higher.
The Construction Quests
These daily quests only reward gold and will not be available after Phase 2. Presently the goblins are hard at work completing the Coliseum, which means a new dungeon and new raids, and they could use some help.
- A Chip Off the Ulduar Block. Travel to the Storm Peaks and use the special explosive Goblin Chisel to retrieve 15 stones for Bozzle Blastbolt.
- Jack Me Some Lumber. Go to the southern part of Crystalsong Forest and use the Lumberjack's Axe to collect 12 Rough Hewn Planks.
Introductory Dailies
Some of the quests that introduce players to the concept of jousting and the ranking system of the tournament evolve into daily quests as they move up in rank. These are virtually the same for both Horde and Alliance players, but they are picked up at different locations.
Horde players can start in the Sunreaver's Pavilion with the Blood Elf NPCs in the middle, Magister Eiden Sunhollow and his two companions Amriel Sunsworn and Avareth Swiftstrike.
Alliance players can go to the Silver Covenant Pavilion and speak to Arcanist Taelis, who is flanked by fellow quest-givers Scout Shalyndria and Avareth Swiftstrike.
Learning The Reins
This is the introductory quest that evolves into three different daily quests that also involve practicing the abilities related to jousting. All of the following quests require that the character have a lance equipped and be mounted on a charger or hawkstrider.
- Mastery of The Shield Breaker. Use the Sheild Breaker ability on a vulnerable shield target twice.
- Mastery of Melee. Use the Thrust ability 5 times on a vulnerable melee target.
- Mastery of the Charge. Use the Sheild-Breaker ability on a vulnerable ranged target twice.
Completing this quest also opens up the following dailies that players can use to obtain Aspirant's Seals. This is the first type of currency that players can obtain, and after the character reaches the title of Aspirant, it's not used anymore.
The Aspirant Quests
The following quests not only reward Aspirant's Seals but also 250 reputation with either the Sunreavers or the Silver Covenant.

The Valiant Title
Moving up to Valiant opens up more daily quests. The reward for these is reputation along with a new type of currency, Valiant's Seals. These are available from the representatives of the player's faction and race. Other vendors will speak to characters of a different race, but they won't be able to browse their inventory.

The Champion Quests
Once a player has completed the one-off quests to become Champion, they are given the rank of Champion and can now collect yet another type of currency, Champion's Seals. At long last, this is the type of currency that's used to purchase items from vendors.
Return to the Argent Pavilion and chat with Justicar Mariel Trueheart, who will direct the player to either Eadric the Pure or, if they are a Death Knight, The Scourgebane.
The quest givers are different depending on the class. Death Knights will get their Champion-level quests from Crok Scourgebane, Illyrie Nightfall, or Zor'be the Bloodletter. All other classes will speak to representatives of the Argent Crusade; Eadric the Pure, Cellian Daybreak, and Luuri.
The following quests reward Champion's Seals and 250 reputation with the Sunreavers or Silver Covenant and with an equal amount of reputation with the Argent Crusade.
- Among the Champions. Collect four Marks of the Champion.
- Battle Before The Citadel. Travel to Icecrown and kill three Boneguard Protectors.
