They changed normal riding to lvl 20. Epic to 40. Flying to 60 :)

This is a new mount, for paladins only, acquired from the Argent Tournament in patch 3.2.

Commento di WowheadPoster

The model for this is the mount that the Argent Champion rides when you've completed a factions valiant training; essentially it's a far more realistic and "gritty" version of our charger. I can't wait honestly. I love the gold and blue, but... be nice to have a change.

Costs, as of right now on PTR, 100 seals.

It also requires that you have the "Crusader" title; essentially 5 home cities at exalted, champion of all five, exalted with the AC, exalted with the SC (for Alliance), etc. It really is a giant bow from Blizzard to the Paladins, as well as a nod to our historical real world basis as crusaders and members of the Holy Roman Emperor's court.

Plus it's just plain cool.

UPDATE:

For all the nerd ragers out there, Blizzard has added something special for us all; Argent Warhorse. It looks the same as the horses we ride for the dailies.

Cost: 100 seals.
Usable: Horde and Alliance
Speed: Epic Land
Rep Req: Same as the Charger; Crusader title and exalted with the horde/alliance specific faction for the tournament.

Its a mount. That has class requirements. Get over it.

Commento di 334168

In order to get the "Crusader Title" that is required for this Mount, you will need:

Exalted with Silvermoon
Exalted with The Undercity
Exalted with Orgrimmar
Exalted with Sen'jin
and
Exalted with Thunderbluff

As well as:

Champion of Silvermoon
Champion of The Undercity
Champion of Orgrimmar
Champion of Sen'jin
and
Champion of Thunderbluff

You will also need:

Exalted Argent Dawn, *and* Argent Crusade Rep for this.

This will give you the titles of: "of Silvermoon", "of The Undercity", "of Orgrimmar", "of Sen'jin", "of Thunderbluff", "Ambassador", and last but certainly not least: "Crusader"

*edited to reflect that you don't get 'Of The Horde" thanks to WowheadPoster for clarifying that for me*

Tbh, all you guys need to quit whining and shut up.

Pallies are kind of "special", ya, sure, w/e. If you're SOOOO pent up about it, and SOOOO jealous, and you just HAVE to have the awesome mount, why don't you, as another person said, GO AND LEVEL A PALADIN? It's not like it's something that's impossible for you to do. Sure, you may not like the class, you may HATE leveling a paladin, you may HATE how the paladin works, but if you DON'T play a paladin, you WON'T get your ~~shiny~~ gritty warhorse. If you don't have the patience, determination, and effort to go and do it, then you obviously do not deserve an awesome horse.

And hey, quit screaming about how paladins "get all the cool stuff" will ya? We don't get giant T-Rexes to bite people's heads off. We don't get to transform into a FRICKIN' AWESOME demon which can act as a back-up tank (for 30 seconds, anyways). We don't get to summon two cool, ghostly wolves to rip apart everyone in our path. We don't get to summon water elementals or several versions of ourselves to reek havoc on enemies.

The only thing I feel that isn't exactly "special" like that is priests...and even then, I don't think Avenger's Wrath compares to just plain basking in the glory and power of the Shadow.

Anyways though, Jayla, as the other person said, you'll get your awesome mount when the time comes. I honestly cannot see why you really expect to get a new flaming doomsteed of flaming death from hell from a tournament that was called forth by an Organization that was organized by paladins and priests.

As for the rest of you who come here to complain and whine like @#$%^es because it's "unfair"...remember what I've said here before commenting.

Commento di 266285

Heck, these days I'm not even sure why everyone goes into a whole cry-fest over mounts. Why do mounts in the game have to be such a BIG DEAL? All they do is increase your speed, and in the case of flying mounts, increase your flying speed, and maybe make you look a bit cooler. Nothing more. It's not like paladins getting this horse is going to turn them into the most OP class in the game.

It's just a damn horse people. There's little difference between it and Rivendare's Deathcharger, or the White Hawkstrider. Heck, to be blatantly honest, if I wasn't RPing as part of the Argent Crusade on my server, I probably wouldn't even bother to get this because the Thalassian Charger (in my opinion) looks just as good, if not better, then this horse. I don't care if this could be seen as a status symbol or anything like that, the looks are obviously much more important, if your constant QQ has anything to say about it (I'll let you decide whether or not I'm being sarcastic).

I honestly doubt I'll be seeing very much of this horse anyways. I barely, if ever, see anyone in Dalaran with any of the Argent Tournament mounts except for the white skelly-horse, so unless those paladins are truely dedicated, I doubt I'll see this horse very often.

Sold by Dame Evniki Kapsalis in the tent where you get the old champion dailies (Chillmaw, etc.); must be an Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde/Alliance.

I think its worth the grind, got mine last night so I'm a happy pally now :D

Commento di 437619

well said man, paladins kick ass :) I am a BLood elf pally, but I still help any pallys I see in trouble, and its always fun to fight other pallys in bgs lol

Commento di 256123

Just as with the original charger, this can also proc things such as Insightful Earthsiege Diamonds.

Commento di Baelof

Quick question: Can Paladins choose this mount AND the "regular" Warhorse from the Argent Tournament or do they only get to choose the Charger and not the Warhorse?

Commento di 425384

Imho, this is definitely one of the coolest ground mounts in the game. Not only does it look really great, but its also new and rare enough to actually be cool.

I mean, seriously, I can't think of any mount other than a heavily armored war horse which suits a knightly looking plate wearer, especially a paladin charging into combat. And this baby actually looks much cooler than the normal charger, and its not owned by every single pally out there. I'd keep mine over even a spectral tiger any day ;)

Oh and for those who are wondering, the casting animation is like that of the standard charger, so you'll still be shooting yellow lights while summoning this, not just wiggle your hands like you do when summoning any other mount.

Commento di ariochiv

Since this is Paladin-only, does it use the Paladin charger summoning spell animation? Or a more normal mount summoning animation?

Commento di Theodicus

Here's a macro for paladins who want to sport your Argent Tournament mounts:

#showtooltip Argent Hippogryph
/cast !Crusader Aura
/cast Argent Hippogryph
/cast Argent Charger
/cast !Devotion Aura
/dismount

When you want to mount; this macro will cast Crusader Aura first, then mount the Argent Hippogryph in flyable areas (including Kraus Landing and Wintergrasp (during noncombat)). The modifier key {Ctrl} will mount up the Argent Charger if you hold the key down and click the macro button. And lastly, one more click will dismount you and cast the Devotion Aura.

* You can change the auras and mounts to your liking. Beware that some mounts are on global cool downs and may not work with the auras.

Commento di 448162

Blizzard favors pally's with this, where's all our racial mounts, the other horse is fugly :/

Commento di 332502

yeah, giving pally's another mount was kind of stupid. what? they cant just get the warhorse like the rest of us? dude, one of these days, u pallys are gonna get like uber nerfed to the extent where even ur bubble wont be able to save u. so go ahead, ride ur unicorn with pride... for now O.o

but in all seriousness folks... why did they give pallys an extra one?

and Leuca, all the things u just listed are COMPLETELY different than giving a class another basically free mount

Commento di 348634

Another reason for me to roll a pally >.>
Really is no reason why the NPA (non paladin association) can ride the warhorse but not the charger : /
Just seems another kick in the balls for all other classes tbh. I mean.... bliz freaked out about the horde/alliance mount balance... so freak out about Class mount balance maybe?

Im not raging particularly... certainly non of my toons i would want to get this mount (spacegoat and undead just look silly :p )

But it is a kick in the ballz for every achievement hunter and stylist!

Id quite like some info on why this is tbh. Give a mount for every class in the AT would be quite interesting! unrealistic maybe but would bring in this odd feeling called fairness >.>

In conclusion to my rant!
Why do paladins now have 3 class mounts
When bliz had such a smackdown on alliance/horde mount ratio
Are they simply asuming paladin is the most played class therefore they only have to waste time on small little accessories for paladins and ignore all other classes?

Commento di 462366

Nice looking mount for sure ^^
I don't play DnD much but i'm pretty sure at a certain lvl a paladin can obtain his own mount, i assume this is why blizz gave pallys their own charger? makes sense to me.
And pally's get the argent crusader mount because the argent crusade is mostly made up of pallys and priest... Also makes sense to me.
Dk's got they're own flying mount right? Now when blizz makes a zone like the argent tournament but instead organized by any of the other classes, then i'll expect a mount reserved for them

Paladins are getting placed in the light (no pun intended) lately because paladins generally combat undead more than say, a rogue or warlock. It's sorta thier thing. So in this expansion it would make sense that when combating Arthus (who is the lich king now) that a huge group of paladins come to combat the schourge. Therefore we have the Argent crusade and their awesome mount that i can obtain and you cant. :P (directed to non-pallys)

Commento di 350632

anyone having trouble with this showing up as credit towards the mount achievements? >.> i had 87 mounts, then bought this and used the item, and still showing 87

Commento di pwerkso

Heh, when I looked for the picture of the mount on this page, there was an AD for a Honda Accord. Of course, the picture of the actual mount was next to it and took me a few minutes to realize this. But my first thought was "Wow, they're really going for realistic graphics on this one, huh?".

Commento di 414537

Anyone else notice that the Argent Crusade symbols on the charger are upside down?

Commento di 493968

This mount only fits to paladins, i couldn't imagine a warlock, nor a warrior on this one. As for the kids who say we are blizzard's favorite class: Roll a paladin, lvl it to 80, have fun.

Commento di 181446

Just what paladins need a THIRD class specific mount. Now they even hang over Warlocks and Deathknights when it comes to mount favoring on blizzards part.

With achievements out for rediculus goals like 100 mounts the difference of one comparatively easy, hand-out, sure thing mount makes the difference between getting it while simply doing daily activities and mind numbing run after run for only a small chance at getting a mount.

lets see 10 days of less-than an hour simple quests or up to hundreds of hours to try and grind out a dropped mount with the possibility of being ninja'd from you. hmmm...

Most people wern't informed when choosing a class the difference blizzards favoring might make, This is mostly true for anyone (meaning a large group of the wow playing community) who started a main before the achievement system was implemented.

It makes it infuriating that in order to more easily get 100 mounts that it could factor that you should change your main and level up a character 80 levels just because blizzard decides to favor their favorite class with a THIRD easy mount

It didn't bother me so much before, i realized it was a unique trait and even then Warlocks had something simular but now instead of possibly giveng another class some light they decided to further reward paladins with one more mount than anyone else. Are paladins born with horses? Is it a pre-requisite to have a love affiar with them? Why was it so important that they get a THIRD one whereas God forbid shamans don't get a connection with some nature spirit for a ride, or the creature loving hunters ever decide "Hey I love creatures, Creatures love me, I wonder if they can help me travel?", Antonidas rode a horse in WCIII why can't other mages get a horse special to them?

Well, DK start at lvl 55 and get there mount and extremely op gear when they start (all for free, i might add) while Warlocks.......... as someone said before, the Argent Crusade is fighting AGAINST unholy things so they cant exactly set one of there dead horses on fire and give it to you. You will probably get one at some point. Who knows.

And to everyone ells... you can get a mount that looks almost exactly the same... so whats the problem?

Commento di 425812

There's a lot of whining over pallies and their "special" status and blizzard favoring. Well, tbh since WotLK came out that's pretty much what has happened the whole time.

Now let us get a retrospective view of paladins, and why people are whining so much.

First, the historical status of paladins. As you all know (we have all created characters and read the paladin description when you click the yellow hammer) paladins are CHAMPIONS of the LIGHT, devoted to noble causes, doing good, fighting evil. Ok, you can fight evil with a rogue, or a warrior, or whatever, but warriors usually dont care if they tear off someone's ribs and rogues dont really play fair, with all those poisons and stuff. Priests? Sure, unless ofc, they pay a visit to the dark side of their minds and decide to spam SW: Pain on everyone. Druids? you mean the NATURE dudes who protect nature but really couldnt care less about the mundane causes unless they affect them? Don't think so. So that leaves us what? shamies, hunters? not quite...
So, this horse can be purchased in an environment called the Argent Tournament. So, who are these guys that put up this tournament thing? oh wait, of course! PALADINS! so, i guess they all walked there? no, they had their paladin mounts, their CHAMPION OF THE LIGHT mounts. Not rogue "i'm such a badass going around invi and cheap shotting people" mounts. I hope i made my point here.

Ok next point: paladins overpowerness.
I could bet over 80% of the people that posted here whining have no clue what paladin was before WotLK. Let me tell you: horrific. Retribution was probably the worst spec of all, and levelling was pure pain. you didnt have imba instant exorcisms or ubber divine storms, no, you had Judgement, Crusader Strike (and yeah, only from lvl50+) and er... nothing else? So if you didnt want to level a pally because it was a heck of an epic quest, so bad for you. Level your imba rogues, warriors, hunters or shamans, who dont even stop for MB, or your warlocks who burn their hp for mana while their pet tanks... just PLEASE dont say pallies are OP. They are not now and have never been.

Oh, and as a final note: if you're considering levelling a paladin, please pay attention to the paladin quests you get throughout your levelling. They WILL help you a lot in understanding the true essence of being a Paladin.

This is a great addiction to Paladins, since now they have 2 class mounts instead of one.

Recolored version of a Paladin's Charger.

Commento di MattimusPrime

Well, the "have never been " isn't quite true. A lot of people are still incredibly bitter over Patch 3.0, when Paladins could use Divine Shield and Avenging Wrath at once, and were basically overpowered as hell.

Going back further, during Vanilla Paladins had a brief moment of OPness when Seal of the Crusader was bugged (Tooltip: Increases attack speed, lowers damage on hit, but in actuality it increased attack speed and attack power, making us basically like Patchwerk), but SotC got fixed and we basically went the rest of Vanilla being completely laughable except as buff-bots. You go Holy for heal/cleanse/buffing, and one Paladin is allowed to be Retribution for Blessing of Kings.

Burning Crusade rolled along and fixed Holy right off the bat, and the majority of Paladins either rerolled or went Holy. Some fine-tuning was done throughout Burning Crusade, and Protection was actually a viable off-tank spec, and there were even rumors and whispers of Prot Pallies being the MT. At some point, Retribution even became somewhat viable, though still pretty "lolret".

Patch 3.0 drops one day, and suddenly Paladins are pretty much fixed, if ridiculously overpowered as Retribution. Fight mechanics are a little more interesting, especially at 80; we're no longer chained to auto-attacking, though Crusader Strike definitely needs improvement. However, as I mentioned, 3.0 immediately made Paladins basically Gods of the game, being invincible and doing boosted damage at once, with incredible burst that crushed everyone.

Since then, Paladins have definitely been balanced, but unfortunately we're still stuck with the stigma of Patch 3.0 until at least 4.0 rolls out. People remember those weeks with no small amount of bitterness.

However, just as Warlocks dominated the forums and whining by a large margin during Burning Crusade, and Rogues before them in Vanilla, so too will Paladins fade as patch 4.0 raises a new class to the Overpowered Pedestal. What will it be? Shamans? Druids? Who knows? Only time will tell.

Commento di 558249

ZOMG PALADIN ONLY QQ.
This is almost as bad as thottbot here people.
Its for paladins only and besides every DK complaing that we only get one mount go back to ebon hold and look at something.Maybe you'll see the vendor selling a DK only mount. And besides are you really crying about a meaningless object in a game that has absolutely no meaning on real life?Its like crying about some person being able to get a special toaster while i have a sucky one.IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF ITS FOR PALADINS ONLY.

Commento di 561835

This doesn't seem fair, it is an aditional third paladin mount, it was fine when they got just the two, but this is a little much.

Commento di 558249

Its a ground mount. A 100% ground mount.Anytime you are in NR you arent gonna be using ground mount except in dal. Druids get a free flying mount. They are gonna get use out of that. Besides this is pretty hard to get so you are not gonna see many pallys with it anyways.

Commento di 612451

I love this mount. I mean the gold and blue stands out making you look like the rescue knight in shinning armor is awesome, but the darken color makes the paladin look so much meaner.

One of my favorite times with the Argent Charger mount. Running a raid and some other paladin was standing next to me constantly re-casting their Charger spell. Then he/she whispered me saying "I think my graphics card is messed up, cause my Charger looks normal and yours is dark? What the F?"
I told him you might be right about your graphics card. My Charger looks normal to me. Poor paladin....

Commento di Dimonslayer

I recently rolled a 2nd Paladin to kick off things on my new server, leveling is going great, and i honestly cant wait until 80 to get this mount, I mean, I understand that Paladins are Champions of the Light, but the new colors to this mount makes the Paladin class seem more dangerous and not so Holy and Righteous (Not that I have anything against that, I love the concept of Paladins)

And feel free to downrate this if you think its stupid or if your one of the people that thinks Blizz favors Paladins more than the other classes.

Commento di Morgaledh

They decided to further reward paladins with one more mount than anyone else. Are paladins born with horses? Is it a pre-requisite to have a love affair with them?

Yes, actually, it is a prerequisite, of a sort. It is sad when people don't know their history. Allow me to quote from the AD&D 1st ed. (is there any other?) Player's Handbook, p.22:

"At 4th level - or any time thereafter - the paladin may call for his warhorse; this creature is an intelligent heavy warhorse of 5+5 hit dice (5d8+5 hit points), AC 5 and the speed of a medium warhorse (18"); it will magically appear, but only one such animal is available every ten years, so that if the first is lost the paladin must wait until the end of the period for another."

Bliz doesn't have a love affair with paladins - the original inspiration for the class is what gave them the idea of a magical warhorse. They didn't invent it, after all. Where do you think all this paladin stuff comes from? True, Gygax et.al. didn't invent the word itself (that goes back to the Authurian romances and the Chanson de Roland), but the fact that the WoW paladin has a natural affinity with a magical warhorse is pure AD&D goodness. And of course, we know that the folks at Bliz are and have always been fans of the great game (they dedicated the Sunwell expansion to Gary Gygax's memory, after all). So just be glad that WoW paladins can't call their warhorses at level 4. Yet....

Commento di Engerz

So can any Draenei Paladin in the beta confirm that we still keep this? and not have it changed to an Argent Elekk?

Commento di 390038

Yeah, guys, stop whining.

Everyone knows that pallies are the most commonly played class, EVER.
Especially by the blizzard devs.

So...we have the 'omglolmoarpallymounts' thanks to them.
I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a FLYING charger.

That doesn't make it any less effing retarded, of course.
x3 Classes with their own mounts are not worth whining over.
Classes that have their own mounts plus its own IDENTICAL mount that can be obtained by farming AT dailies...

That, however, is.
Why?
Because it is THAT stupid, and THAT pointless.

It'd be like:

-Druids having flight form, swift flight form, and a SHINY ALLIANCE COLORED PURCHASEABLE FLIGHT FORM <3
-Warlocks having Felsteed, Dreadsteed, and a COOLER LOOKING GLOWING GREEN FELDREADLOLSTEED THAT'S PURCHASEABLE FOR LOLSEALZ.

...Does it make sense now?
It's the 'extra onez lol in case i luze mine somehow? lolol1elevenorsomething.'
That's kind of on the 'wtf, man?' side.

Commento di 548617

Do I keep this mount and the Crusader tittle after I change faction?

Commento di camarouge

To those concerned with the "classism" behind this item, there is some storyline details behind it. Remember, the Argent Crusade is a combined force of the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand. The Knights were an order of paladins, so it makes sense that they would work to specialize the chargers that they have ridden into battle since the Second War, when the order was created.

Commento di 495427

Draenei will still get access to this mount once title Crusader <Name> obatined.

For the people who are complaining that paladins get an unfair advantage towards the 100 mount achievement they are plan wrong. Class mounts (this also includes Locks and DK's) no longer count towards the mount achievement.

Commento di Cendrin

Class mounts (this also includes Locks and DK's) no longer count towards the mount achievement.

This specific one does, at least as of patch 4.0.6. My Paladin just received the 25 mount achievement from learning it. However, you are correct that the two class-specific mounts that Paladins learn from their trainers do not count, as if you counted those this would actually have been his 27th mount.

Truly an awesome mount especially for a Tauren paladin. The only other live horse mount available for them is the one from the Tribute to Immortality achievement. Making this mount truly unique for the horde. Will update with pick of my Tauren on one of these.

Commento di childofnewlight

Jayla, at least you have class-unique mounts. Mages have never had anything unique to their class.

Well, except for...

Free food and water whenever and where ever they want it.
~~Cheaper than dirt~~ Free instant transportation with no significant cooldown to any major capital in the game.
~~Cheaper than dirt~~ Free instant transportation capable of transporting a 40-man raid with one regent to any major capital in the game.
Blink.
Frost Nova (aoe root)
A cheap spammable CC in or out of combat.
The ability to turn completely invisible.
The ability to DISPEL and STEAL most magic buffs in the game -- Spellsteal.
Don't even get me started on PvP...
