Overview

Exodar Elekk

Game iconExodar Elekk is a ground mount added to World of Warcraft in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion (patch 3.1.0). It is a majestic elekk consecrated by the naaru O'ros — the very naaru who accompanied Velen and his followers on their journey from Draenor to Azeroth. The mount is available only to characters of the Alliance faction and is purchased with the Argent Tournament currency, Champion's Seals.

The Exodar Elekk is part of the Argent Tournament's series of city mounts. Alongside it, you can purchase similar mounts of the other Alliance capitals: Game iconStormwind Steed, Game iconIronforge Ram, Game iconGnomeregan Mechanostrider, and Game iconDarnassian Nightsaber. Each of them costs 100 Champion's Seals and is sold by the corresponding quartermaster.

Why You Want This Mount

  • Unique elekk model — the Exodar Elekk differs from the standard racial draenei elekks with special armor and an appearance characteristic of the Argent Tournament's reward mounts.
  • Collection value — the mount is part of a series of five Alliance city mounts from the Argent Tournament. By collecting all five, you significantly expand your collection and get closer to the achievements for the number of mounts.
  • Account-wide — once learned, the mount is unlocked for all Alliance characters on your account.
  • Guaranteed acquisition — unlike mounts with a percentage drop chance, the Exodar Elekk is bought for a fixed price. You only need to accumulate enough Champion's Seals.
  • Parallel farming — while you save up seals for the elekk, you simultaneously build reputation with the Silver Vanguard and unlock access to the tournament's other rewards: pets, tabards, toys, and the Crusader title.

How to Obtain

The Exodar Elekk is purchased from Irisee — the Exodar quartermaster at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown (Northrend). The mount costs 100 Champion's Seals.

  1. Head to Northrend, to the Argent Tournament Grounds in the northeastern part of Icecrown. The easiest way to get there is through the portal to Dalaran from Stormwind, and from there — north on a flying mount.
  2. Begin the Argent Tournament quest chain by speaking with Justiciar Mariel Trueheart. You will receive the rank of Aspirant and access to the first daily tasks.
  3. Complete Aspirant daily tasks for three days to earn 15 Aspirant's marks. After that, you will be able to pass the trial and become a Valiant of your home city.
  4. At the Valiant stage, complete daily tasks for five days to gather 25 Valiant's marks. Then pass the trial and become a Champion of your home city.
  5. Having earned the rank of Champion of your home city, take the quest "A Valiant of the Exodar" (if your home city is not the Exodar) and repeat the Valiant path now for the Exodar faction. Pass the trial and become a Champion of the Exodar.
  6. As a Champion, you gain access to daily tasks that reward Champion's Seals. Accumulate 100 seals.
  7. Visit Irisee in the Silver Covenant pavilion on the tournament grounds and purchase the Game iconExodar Elekk.

The Argent Tournament — Ranking Up

The Argent Tournament is located in northeastern Icecrown. It is a permanently running event that is not tied to the calendar — you can begin progressing at any time. Progress is divided into three stages, each of which unlocks new daily tasks and rewards.

Stage Requirements Duration
Aspirant Begin the tournament quest chain 3 days (15 Aspirant's marks)
Valiant Pass the Aspirant trial 5 days (25 Valiant's marks)
Champion Pass the Valiant trial Unlocks daily tasks for Champion's Seals

After earning the rank of Champion of your home city, you can take quests to rank up the Valiant for other Alliance cities. Each city requires completing the Valiant stage separately (5 days and 25 marks), after which you become a Champion of that city.

If your character is a draenei, you automatically begin the path with the Exodar faction and will become a Champion of the Exodar first. Characters of other Alliance races will need an additional 5 days to rank up the Valiant of the Exodar.

Champion's Seals — How Many You Can Earn per Day

Champion's Seals are the main reward currency of the Argent Tournament. You begin receiving them after reaching the rank of Champion of at least one city.

Source Seals per Day
Champion daily tasks (combat) 3
Champion daily tasks (mounted) 3
"Among the Champions" task 1
"A Call to Arms" / "Battle Before the Citadel" task 1
Trial of the Champion (heroic mode) 3
Crusader tasks (if you have the title) 3
Total (maximum) up to 14

At maximum efficiency, it will take you approximately 7–8 days to accumulate 100 seals. If you are only just starting Argent Tournament progression from scratch, add another 8–13 days to earn the rank of Champion (3 days Aspirant + 5 days Valiant of your home city + if necessary 5 days Valiant of the Exodar).

How to Reach the Argent Tournament

The Argent Tournament Grounds are located in the northeastern corner of Icecrown, on the continent of Northrend.

  1. Use the portal to Dalaran (Broken Isles or Northrend) from Stormwind. The portals are located in the Mage Tower in the Stormwind quarter
  2. From Dalaran, fly northeast into Icecrown. The grounds are at the very north of the zone
  3. An alternative route is through the Argent Vanguard tavern in Icecrown, which is the nearest flight point

At max level (80 in The War Within), the journey takes a few minutes. The enemies of Icecrown pose no threat.

Other Argent Tournament Mounts

The Argent Tournament offers an extensive collection of mounts divided into several categories. While you farm seals for the Exodar Elekk, it is worth planning the purchase of the remaining mounts — all of them are bought with the same currency.

Alliance City Mounts (100 Seals Each)

Mount Vendor Requirement
Game iconStormwind Steed Marshal McBride Champion of Stormwind
Game iconIronforge Ram Dark Iron dwarf Champion of Ironforge
Game iconGnomeregan Mechanostrider Mekkanik Champion of Gnomeregan
Game iconExodar Elekk Irisee Champion of the Exodar
Game iconDarnassian Nightsaber Dawnchaser Huntress Champion of Darnassus

Special Tournament Mounts

In addition to the city mounts, with Champion's Seals you can purchase upgraded versions of the city mounts (5 seals + 500 gold each), as well as unique mounts of the Silver Covenant and Sunreaver factions — the Game iconSilver Covenant Hippogryph and others.

Tips

1

Begin ranking up all cities simultaneously — after earning the rank of Champion of your home city, you can take Valiant tasks for the other four capitals. This does not speed up earning seals, but it lets you unlock all the quartermasters and the Crusader title faster.

2

Do the heroic Trial of the Champion daily — this dungeon is cleared in a few minutes at max level and gives 3 seals per run. Do not neglect this source.

3

Aim for the Crusader title — to earn this title you need to become a Champion of all five Alliance cities and reach exalted with all five factions. The title unlocks additional daily tasks for Champion's Seals, speeding up the farming of the remaining rewards.

4

Plan your purchases ahead — if you want to collect all five city mounts, you will need 500 seals. At maximum daily output, this will take about 36 days.

5

At level 80 it's all easy — all Argent Tournament daily tasks, including mounted jousts and group quests, are easily completed solo at max level in The War Within. The entire daily quest cycle takes no more than 15–20 minutes.

6

Don't forget about reputation — the daily tasks also grant reputation with the Silver Vanguard. Upon reaching exalted, you gain access to additional rewards and achievements.

7

Use alts — Champion's Seals are bound to the character, but the mount becomes account-wide. If you have several Alliance characters with leveled tournament ranks, you can accumulate seals in parallel and buy different mounts on different characters.
