I'd assume they would make it both ways, there's no reason why little Timothy can't take an item if he's going there in the first place. (I've named my squire Timothy...)

Kommentar von Toldry

This is the first item in the game that refers to actual ponies.

Let the Richard quotes commence.

Players' cries of "I want a pony!" have been answered!

Important Note:

Unlike MOLL-E or Repair Bots, only the person whom the squire belongs to is able to access its services.

This is the first instance of being able to access your bank remotely, and is quite possibly the in-game implementation of the Pack Mule and Faithful Mule spells that popped up a couple of PTR's ago.

I can see the biggest use of this being in Raids, particularly for classes with many different gear sets (Druids/Paladins), or for people who don't want to have to fill their bags with resistance/situational gear

Can it repair?

Kommentar von 23168

It would be nice if it accesses guild banks as well.

Kommentar von 24010

You will have to achieve Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde or Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance and spend 150 Champion's Seal in order to obtain this feature.

Kommentar von 400357

I was originally intending to save up for my hippogryph for the achievement but then I found out about this. I have to say I find that it is nice to have a squire that does something more than follow you around with a flag strapped to his back.

Kommentar von 389119

beginning to wonder if the 20k for the vendor mount is worth it...was planning on buy the tundra, but may just skimp for 10k on the hodir mount and use the squire. :)

now, if i could only save up and buy both, my main could be a total WoW hermit. :)

Kommentar von 428858

LOL PONY UP! Thats from SMU Texas.

Kommentar von wallix

If you have this and the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth you will have a portable bank, mailbox, vendor, and repair. Not to mention a multi-person taxi? Sounds like going from level 80-90 might be a little more enjoyable.

Kommentar von Prolix

Sold by Dame Evniki Kapsalis in the tent where you get the old champion dailies (Chillmaw, etc.).

Kommentar von 437312

This item is great for emptying your bags and your party members' bags (through trades) while raiding. He will act as a vendor selling foods and reagents, and buying items. Unfortunately for me, and any other casters out there, the squire does NOT offer any drinks to restore mana. If I had known this from the start, I wouldn't have spent my champion seals on this item right away.

Come on Blizz, a true trader/vendor offers food, reagents, AND drinks!

Kommentar von 266190

Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold!

Kommentar von 363649

So, the pony only lasts for 3 minutes? What if you just want your squire to ride on the pony the entire time you have him summoned?

Kommentar von 165360

Any way possible for someone to find out exactly what all this 'Trader' option sells then (and the amount).

EDIT: Thanks to person below.

Here's some more details.

It takes 150 Champion's Seals to buy it and you have to be eligible, I believe it's Ehrfurchtgebietender Argentumchampion der Allianz/Ehrfurchtgebietender Argentumchampion der Horde that's required? Anyway.

You get Zügel des Argentumponys, a consumable, and you use it, and it disappears, giving you Aufsitzen!. You retain the original Argentumknappe/Argentumgrunzling pet spell you had before, however additional options become available when you talk with your Squire/Gruntling; to bank, vendor, or mailbox. Should you actually use any of these options, he gets a 3 minute buff before running off. It's then 4 hours before the options appear again even if you resummon him in the meantime.

If, like me, all you want to do is just see him ride his little pony, just have him out while YOU'RE mounted. He'll follow on his pony.

While activating this mode for your Squire/Gruntling unlocks an achievement of its own, it will not count towards any other achievements for mounts or pets.

Kommentar von Lucero

I cannot overstate the usefulness of the vendors on the mammoth. They have no cooldown. I made 5k gold of my 16k purchase back in the first week of owning my mammoth. I have purchased a squire as well, solely for the purpose of portable mailbox every four hours. here I come.

Kommentar von 163514

so why couldnt blizz make the buff last longer than 3 minutes if it has a 4 hour CD. 10 or 15 minutes would be perfect.

Kommentar von 125477

Just a quick note, This guy doesn't sell any water of any kind. He sells all of the Northrend vendor foods but no water al all what so ever. :(

Kommentar von Omniwolph

The pony adds help for the Insane title (for those who does not have an Engineer profession, or has no one around with a Engineer profession) since you might need a portable mailbox to speed things up a bit. This will not be the first option they will choose, but still.

This is being downrated why?

Kommentar von Gharik

he does however sell the two foods used to make Kungaloosh

Kommentar von Sunwind

I used the bridle and summoned my squire, he was not riding a pony. :( why not? He has the options available just no visual on the pony.

Kommentar von silversol

I sure hope you got the "Lassie" pet for when Timmy gets caught in a bear trap... after falling in a well.

Kommentar von 448162

FOR PONY! ..

Kommentar von Varicelle

Also note that if he disappears (say you summoned another minipet), the bank / mailbox / vendor will still be available if the 3 minutes are not up when you resummon him. Good boy.

Kommentar von 271278

Does this count as a mount? (for the mount achievements)

Kommentar von 395903

The Argent Grunting should have Argent Worg Pup instead.

Kommentar von AlicanC

Your Argent Gruntling (Horde) or Squire (Alliance) will only have the pony when you are mounted.

Don't panic like I did when you spawn it and don't see the pony :)

Kommentar von 438885

Does the bank have a cooldown on it?
My wife bought it, she has the pony but she opened bank once then it went away and hasn't come back.
I saw someone mention 4 hours, is it a 4 hour CD?

Kommentar von 332502

Hey guys, just got some useful tips for ya here.

1) If you use one of the pet's services, u can use that service for 3 minutes after u activate it, after the time is up, he will ride off into the sunset, but don't worry, you can always resummon him back. You can dismiss the pet and then resummon it during those three minutes and still use the service. After those three minutes are up, then you cannot use any of the three services provided by the pet for four hours. The pet's mount will only appear when you are mounted, so don't worry if you don't see it when you first summon him. He sells food, ammo, two throwing weapons, rogue posions, and tons of reagants. He does not repair your gear.

2) I noticed a lot of you guys were talking about leveling from 80-90. Just to confirm, in the Cataclysm expansion, the cap level will still only be level 85, not 90.

3) Alot of people were comparing this to the vendor mammoth and engineer repair bots. First of all, the pet still cannot repair gear, like i said earlier, so the mammoth and engineers are still extremely useful. And they don't have a four hour cooldown. But the chances of deperately having to use a mailbox, reagant/poison/food vendor, access a bank, or buy some crappy freaking throwing weapons before the cooldown is up, is very, very slim. Now buying ammo, maybe. But even then, hearthstone is only a thirty minute cooldown now, so it shouldnt be that much trouble to go back to Dalaran and get some more, seeing as how all but one instance in Northrend has a summoning stone. So only hunters will ever possibly have a reason to worry about the cooldown of this thing.

4) You must be an exalted champion of the Horde/Alliance and be exalted with the Argent Crusade to buy this. It is consumed when used. Once you use it, it's gone from your bags, and your gruntling/squire will now have a cool little pony mount. This costs 150 champion seals to buy. It is sold by Dame Evniki Kapsalis in the Argent Crusade tent at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown.

4) The reason Horde can only get a tiny pony like the Alliance, and not a wolf like Lizard14 suggested is becuase the pony is supplied by the Argent Crusade, not the Horde or Alliance. And since the Argent Crusade is made up of mostly paladins, which are currenlty humans, dreani, dwarves and blood elves. So 3/4 of the races that can be paladins are Alliance, so making a horse the main mount of the Argent Crusade was only logical. Although in the Cataclysm expansion, taurens will actually be able to be paladins too. So i don't know, instead of tiny ponys, maybe a mix between a kodo and a hawkstrider? Just an idea.

5) I named my gruntling Carlos, obviously refering to Don Carlos in Old Hillsbrad Foothills.

Well, thats all I got for now guys, enjoy.

P.S. - Don't mess with Carlos, or you'll be riding a one way ticket to the Maelstorm. Kapeesh?

Kommentar von 448526

I wonder how much faster this makes him. My squire is already insanely fast on foot...keeping up with me on my 280% mount.

Kommentar von 462366

this is an awesome item, as a pally i find it hard not to start roleplaying with a squire standing next to me XD

Kommentar von weezel

By LucidTaint on 08/05/2009 (Patch 3.2.0)
Just because your guild trusts you to access their bank doesn't mean they trust your squire. If you ask me, those little gruntlings look rather shifty.....

This is the best comment i've seen so far. But that aside, im saving for this one after having bought the teleport tabard. will be quite nice to get vendor/bank/mailbox access. although i feel the 4h cooldown is a bit steep, id like to see that brought inline with other things

Kommentar von 481159

A quick note: You can reset the 4hours cooldown by simply paying a visit to arena, skirmish or rated.

Kommentar von Omduel

As stated above, I just wanted to bump in the note that he DOES in fact sell something for restoring mana, Tundra Berries Savory Snowplum are sold by him that can be made into Kungaloosh, with cooking. And now that the pilgrim world even you all shall have no excuses as to why your cooking isn't high enough.

Kommentar von 173187

The size of the pony seems to keep changing. A few patches ago, the size increased but the latest patch seems to have shrunk the pony back to its original size.

Kommentar von Hazeling

Just wondering, since the tooltip does not show the ''Already known'' red tag if you have bought/used it, what happens if you use it again? Most likely nothing but im not ready yet to potentially wasate 150 seals :P

Kommentar von forever86d

Wish they'd make an epic version that could access Guild Vault

Kommentar von todorespeto

that icon looks far too much like goatse for my taste

Kommentar von 105232

Small point, most of the elves who are a part of the argent crusade are NOT blood elves. They are high elves, who are most easily distinguished by their eyes which are not green. Blood Elves have green eyes which are a result of the fel magics they had previously been using. High Elves never used said fel magics and so never developed the physical traits that come along with them. Case and point, the green skin of the orcs is a mutation brought on my fel magic. The orcs who never used it, the mag'har, are still brown. Even though Blood Elves have stopped using fel magic and are once again in the light, they physical alterations remain, and lorewise it appears that such alterations are permanent.

Cool Tip to all Paladin

you can reset it whit or
i don't know if other chars can reset it
Paladin can give other in party and then it will reset on him that's get the buff.

but for me i can go in bank or mail each 5 minuter
pretty cool.

I believe all the races' paladins use horses, regardless of whether they are Horde or Alliance. That being the case, you could stop your argument with "the Argent Crusade is made up of mostly paladins". Period. It doesn't matter what races they are. They're paladins. They ride horses. 'nuf said.

This may change in Cataclysm, of course. I can't imagine the Blood Knights giving up their horses, but I have a hard time picturing the tauren picking up horses as their chargers.

Kommentar von 259645

I cringe every time I see that damn icon.

Kommentar von 570569

hey guys, how do you get your argent squire a mount to ride? cuz ive seen one from the horde and the argent kid was riding a horse. I have an argent squire pet but he doesn't have a horse, only flags from 4 different cities.

It is changing in Cataclysm, because each order of Paladins is going to have their own mount (yes, order, NOT race. No special rams for Dwarves.). Draenei Paladins, whose order is the Hand of Argus, are getting special elekk mounts. Tauren Paladins, who will belong to the new order called Sunwalkers, are getting special kodos. The Blood Knights are keeping their Thalassian Chargers, and the Humans and Dwarves of the Silver Hand are keeping their current Chargers. All of this has been confirmed by Blues on the official forums.

Kommentar von ShakeNBake

Goblins will be getting racial remote bank access. Will that and the squire/gruntling abillity share a cooldown?
