Details on Argent Tourney updates revealed

The Coliseum is probably the highlight of the upcoming patch 3.2 but that’s not the only new thing coming associated with the Argent Tournament. We already knew that the devs were going to add a few more things that will give players more reason to visit the tournament grounds in the upcoming major patch but it’s only now that we really know why. Blizzard released details about what they are adding to the Argent Tournament and it does look kinda fun.

First of all there will be two new quest hubs involving a new camp of the Cult of the Damned and a former Tuskarr village located in an island to the north where the sea vrykul have gathered for battle against the Silver Covenant and the Sunreavers. As expected these are progressions in the story, being a new patch and all, so these aren’t just new quests and new dailies but a thickening of the plot. Speaking of the plot thickening, they also announced the return of the Black Knight! Hopefully they make him a bit more of a challenge since he’s currently a lot easier than those champions you joust.

Argent Tournament will also offer new rewards like Sunreaver and Silver Covenant tabards and even a new Argent Crusade tabard that can teleport the player to the tournament grounds. Players will also be able to get new heirlooms (bind to account items) to give to alts, also an Argent Crusade banner and even a new Shimmering Wyrmling pet. Players will also be able to get new mounts in the form of the Quel’dorei Steed and Silver Covenant Hippogryph for the Alliance and the Sunreaver Hawkstrider and Sunreaver Dragonhawk for the Horde. And since the Argent Crusade is a paladin group, obviously paladins are favored with a new Charger mount they can buy. Probably the most interesting of these items is the upgrades squire who has a mount and can be called on every 8 hours for 3 minutes to perform bank, mailbox and vendor duties.

Phew. After seeing all those things that you can get, it’s definitely a lot of reason to visit the tournament grounds more often and participate!
