Get Argent Warhorse mount
Overview

Argent Warhorse is an epic ground mount added in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion alongside patch 3.2.0 "Call of the Crusade." It is the silver-armored warhorse of the Argent Crusade, available only to those who have completed the full path of the Argent Tournament and earned the title Crusader. The mount is purchased from Dame Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown for 100
Champion's Seals.
The horse is clad in full plate armor bearing the heraldry of the Argent Crusade, its head covered by a chanfron, with silvery-white caparisons flowing along its sides. Speed is maximum: +100% on the ground. Unlike the tournament's flying mounts, this is a purely ground steed, perfectly suited for characters who have not yet unlocked flight and for players who value the classic knightly look.
Why You Want This Mount
- Guaranteed acquisition — the mount is bought with Argent Tournament currency, not obtained by a drop chance. Once you have accumulated 100 Champion's Seals and earned the Crusader title, you are guaranteed to get it.
- Classic knightly look — heavy armor, the heraldry of the Argent Crusade, and white caparisons make the mount one of the most "noble" in the game.
- Available to all races and classes — unlike the
Argent Charger, which is available only to paladins, this mount can be used by any character who has earned the Crusader title. - Suited for achievement collectors — purchasing the mount is closely tied to the meta-achievement Exalted Champion of the Alliance or Exalted Champion of the Horde, which itself grants a title
- Account-wide — after using the item, the mount becomes available to all characters on the account through the mount collection
- An excellent source of account progress — alongside accumulating Champion's Seals, you earn other valuable rewards: pets, heirlooms for young characters, and tabards
How to Obtain
To purchase the mount you must meet two requirements: earn the title Crusader and accumulate 100 Champion's Seals.
- Head to the Argent Tournament Grounds in the northeastern part of Icecrown
- Take the introductory quest from Justicar Mariel Trueheart (Alliance) or from Baine Bloodhoof (Horde) at the Silver Pavilion
- Complete the Aspirant path by doing three daily quests and turning in 15 Aspirant's Marks
- Earn the rank of Valiant at your race's capital by turning in 25 Valiant's Marks
- Successively become Champion of all five capitals of your faction and earn the achievement "Exalted Champion of the Alliance/Horde," which unlocks the title Crusader
- Continue completing Argent Tournament daily quests, accumulating Champion's Seals until you have collected 100
- Go to Dame Evniki Kapsalis in the tent at the Silver Pavilion and purchase the
Argent Warhorse - Use the item from your bag to add the mount to your collection
How to Reach the Tournament Grounds
The Argent Tournament Grounds are located in the northeastern part of Icecrown and form a separate sanctuary zone where the PvP combat system does not apply.
First Visit
- Unlock flying in Northrend if you haven't already
- Fly to Icecrown
- Travel northeast to coordinates ~75, 20 — there you will find the Tournament Grounds with its own flight master
- Alternative: a portal or mage teleport to Dalaran, then any flying mount eastward across Icecrown
Quick Access
After your first visit, bind the Tournament Grounds flight point. You can also use the
Argent Crusader's Tabard — if you purchased it with Champion's Seals, it teleports you straight to the tournament and shortens your daily route.
Vendor Coordinates
Dame Evniki Kapsalis stands inside the large tent of the Silver Pavilion, west of the Argent Coliseum. Near her you will find other Crusader quartermasters and stands displaying sample rewards.
The Path to the Crusader Title
To unlock access to purchasing the mount, you must complete all three tournament ranks and become Champion of all five capitals of your faction.
Aspirant Rank
The first stage of the tournament. You will take three daily quests from the Aspirants' instructor:
- A Blade Fit for a Champion — training on wooden dummies
- Up and Up — collecting flags from poles during a ride
- The Edge of Winter — defeating ordinary Aspirant opponents
For each quest you receive an Aspirant's Mark. By turning in 15 marks (5 days), you earn the rank of Valiant.
Valiant Rank
After earning the rank of Valiant, the quests of your race's capital open up. Two to three quests are completed daily:
- Gjalerbron Captives — racing against a champion
- Their Weapons Will Be Turned Against Them — collecting trophies in the Icecrown zone
- A Valiant of Stormwind — defeating three champions of other races/factions
- Among the Enemy — looting items from mobs in the Forge of Souls or Sercat
By collecting 25 Valiant's Marks, you earn the rank of capital Champion and the long-awaited title "Champion of
Champion Rank and the Capital Cycle
After earning the Champion rank of your first capital, you gain the ability to begin the Valiant path for the next capital. The quests repeat, but now instead of marks you immediately receive Champion's Seals — the main currency for purchasing the mount.
You must become Champion of all five capitals of your faction:
- Alliance: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Exodar, Gnomeregan
- Horde: Orgrimmar, Undercity, Silvermoon, Thunder Bluff, Sen'jin
Each change of capital requires another cycle of 25 Valiant's Marks, so the entire path takes about 30–40 days of real time with daily play.
Earning the Crusader Title
Once you become Champion of all five capitals of your faction, you are automatically credited with the achievement Exalted Champion of the Alliance or Exalted Champion of the Horde. This unlocks:
- The title Crusader
- Two additional daily quests from Crusader Commander Eligor Dawnbringer and Crusader Silverdawn
- Access to Dame Evniki Kapsalis and her full inventory, including the
Argent Warhorse
Accumulating Champion's Seals
After earning the Crusader title, all of the tournament's daily quests become available to you at once. That is roughly 13–17 Champion's Seals per day.
Main Sources
- Crusader daily quests — two new quests unlocked with the Crusader title, each giving 1 seal
- Capital Champion daily quests — each quest yields 1 seal after reaching Champion rank
- Tournament arena quests — mounted jousts against champions of other factions and races
- Heroic "Trial of the Champion" — a dungeon from patch 3.2.0; each of the three encounters on heroic mode rewards 1 seal (3 seals per run, once per day)
- Daily quest in Trial of the Champion — an additional quest taken at the dungeon entrance
How Much Time It Takes
With a full daily tournament run, you collect on average 13–17 seals per day. To buy the mount for 100 seals you will need:
- 6–8 days when completing all quests and Trial of the Champion on heroic daily
- 10–12 days if limiting yourself only to tournament dailies without the dungeon
If you already have the Crusader title, accumulating seals is quick. The bulk of the time goes into earning the title — the path through all five capitals stretches over 5–6 weeks.
Tips
Plan your capital route in advance — the first Valiant → Champion cycle requires 25 Valiant's Marks (about 5 days). The four remaining capitals will each also require 25 marks. Start as early as possible and don't skip days.
Don't spend early seals on cosmetics — until you buy the mount, hold off on purchasing banners, tabards, and consumable items. All seals go toward the
Argent Warhorse.
Run Trial of the Champion on heroic — this is the fastest way to earn an extra 3–4 seals per day without taking part in quests.
Choose the "Champion's Seal" reward when turning in quests — some quests offer a choice between a bag of gold, a loot sample, and a seal. Always take the seal until you buy the mount.
Use group quests as a pair — quests to defeat elite opponents (for example, in the Forge of Souls) are completed faster in a group of two.
Buy an arena lance — special lances are purchased with seals from the tournament armorers and make mounted jousts easier. But remember the rule above — mount first, comfort later.
The mount is account-wide — it is enough to buy it on one character, and it becomes available to all through the mount collection.
Combine with collecting pets — from the same Dame Evniki Kapsalis you can later buy pets and banners from the Argent Crusade collection, so it makes sense to continue the daily quests after buying the mount.
Look for the Argent Tournament banner — while doing quests, use the "Argent Crusade" stand if you have one: it adds a small bonus to daily experience.
