This is an easy quest when you get hold of it.

The Argent crusade camp is located south of the Corp'rethar gate.

The commanders are just like fighting a NPC valiant or player at the Argent tournament grounds. Keep up Defend. Take down his shield with Shield break. Charge and thrust! Rinse and repeat. Tip: take the one with the weakest defence around him (3 red shields)

The gargoyle scouts are easy but annoying. Hit them 2 times with shield break and they die, but they have a fast spawn rate.

The Boneguard footmen: There is alot of them, they look scary, the spawn fast, and still they're not a problem. As the quests says:"Do not fear the masses of boneguard footmen, <name>, for they can easily be trampled under your horse's hooves" You simple have to ride into them and you get the kills.

The catapults can be taken down from range with Shield break. They cant attack themselves and they wont agro anything else when they get hit so just spam shield break.

Ehm, does anyone know if these mobs count for the Valiants Training?

80 Holy Priest: Finally figured out how to solo this quest.

- stack 3 defends
- clear scouts out of way enroute to LT.
- hit defend after each cd
- target an LT (on horse), shield break, then thrust repeatedly. when you take him down, you'll take a few footmen
- hit defend after each cd
- shield-break then thrust to kill remaining footmen in that cluster

- regain health for your steed

- rinse repeat.

you can do this in 3 pretty quick ventures out of the alliance camp.

Protection Warriors: Just a tip. Switch out of Def Stance and use Berzerker. The Damage reduction from being in Def translates into your lance. I discovered today that Scouts go down in 2 hits instead of 3. Presumably this applies to all damage done with the lance

Just discovered that if you're not on the quest, you won't be able to see the camp or the mobs and thus, unable to assist anyone who is on the quest. The entire thing is phased for the quest, it seems.

I just got this quest today and I didn't find the info here that helpful. The Footman (skeletal warrior looking dudes) are nonelites but the Scouts (gargoyles) and Lieutenants are elite. The Footman stand in formation around the Lieutenants and an unrelated but similar looking mob called a Commander. The Lieutenant and the Commander look quite alike, both are big dudes on a horse ready to joust you. But don't confuse them. The Lieutenants are easy to kill, the Commanders... not so much. If you look at them side by side you'll notice the Lieutenants only have up one shield and the Commanders have three. And unfortunately the Commanders and the Lieutenants stand pretty close to each other just south of the Argent horses. The gargoyles are very easy. Just a couple of melee strikes and they're down. The hardest part is trying to get close enough to them but not behind them.

Doing this quest today for the first time, the Commanders killed me each time I ended up fighting them. Try to avoid them or just run away. If you just ignore the Footmen and focus on the Lieutenants you'll get plenty of Footmen... I believe 4-6 surround each of the Lieutenants and the Commanders. Don't waste your time trying to pull a Footman off the other mobs because I think it's a waste of time, you'll just end up pulling the whole party over.

Someone said, warriors, do this in Berzerker since you need DPS... similarly, as a hunter try using Aspect of the Dragonhawk. :P The fights will be much quicker and the armor comes from your horse. I forgot to aspect after death once and it was a slow fight.

how do you get him to give you the quests?

Comment by fanficbug

Note to self: getting off the horse before safely away from all mobs is a bad idea.

Some tips I would have liked to get before doing this quest.. because first view to battlefield packed with elites was kind of wtf?:
1) you do not have to ride all the way to the camp on the valiant mount -- fly there and you will find a camp practically in the middle of battlefield with horses.
2) by far the easiest method to kill gargoyles is to use shieldbreaker -- two hits will take them down easily
3) footmen are pushovers, just target any of those and charge in. Usually you will kill 2-3 with one charge, keep circling and charging to get reminder 1-2 that you pull.
4) dont be too afraid of big groups or commanders/lieutenants etc -- they either dont aggro at all or the range is small enough to pick out one lieutenant+his footmen from the whole army.
5) for lieutenant, start as far as the shieldbreaker allows, throw it and charge as soon as CD allows. If lucky, you will take out all footmen with charge as well.
--
All-in-all, quite easy quest.

This quest can glitch on you and stop counting kills, did it to me at 1/3 of the Lieutenant, spent about 15 minutes killing them and only the first one counted. Some said stay in the battlefield when they died others just fell to the ground and disappeared without counting towards the quest. All in all I find argent tournament to be a big pain in my ass.

At The Enemy's Gates

Captain Joseph Holley at the Argent Tournament Grounds wants you to kill 15 Boneguard Footmen, 10 Boneguard Scouts, and 3 Boneguard Lieutenants.

	Boneguard Footman slain (15)

Description

Even as we ready for the tournament, Argent Crusade forces prepare the way for an assault on the enemy's stronghold of Icecrown Citadel.

In the Court of Bones in southwestern Icecrown, a few brave crusaders have set up a forward camp on the southern side of Corp'rethar. Equip your lance and mount the stabled campaign charger at the camp, then destroy the Lich King's minions.

Do not fear the masses of boneguard footmen, <name>, for they can easily be trampled under your horse's hooves.
