Quest #13625 Level 80 Icecrown Alliance only Daily no runs yet

Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Strike a Melee Target with Thrust 5 times, use Shield-Breaker on 2 vulnerable Ranged Targets, use Charge on 2 vulnerable Charge Targets and then return to Scout Shalyndria at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

If you lose your lance, you can get another from any of the Lance Racks near the stables or the Silver Covenant Pavilion.

Objective by objective

The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.

The quest giver's words

Most of the tournament's competitions require competitors to master the command of a mount in battle. In order to familiarize you with mounted combat, we've put up training dummies all over the northern part of the tournament grounds.

Visit the stables outside the pavilion, equip your lance, and mount up on the Quel'dorei steed. Familiarize yourself with the tactics available to you and use them to defeat the three different kinds of training dummies.

Progress

How goes the mounted combat practice?

Completion

Well done, <name>. Mounted combat is often hard to pick up for those accustomed to fighting on foot. I have no doubt that you'll continue to improve with practice, which is more than I can say for some warriors.

What you need

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

The reward

The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.

What players recorded

Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.

Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.

  • Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route

An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Icecrown), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
