The Argent Tournament has finally arrived in Northrend, and players ofWorld of Warcraft: Classiccan explore some unique new content that includes gear, mounts, pets, and other fun goodies. Every faction has the incentive of powerful upgrades for those that spend time grinding rep, and the Argent Tournament has its own quartermaster as well as Champions that represent both Horde and Alliance races.

Vendors only accept the Champion’s Seal currency, which is obtainable from daily quests or acts of heroism in the Colesium. Some items are only available to certain classes and factions while others can be purchased by anyWorld of Warcraft: Classicplayer. There are a lot of new additions, but the best items from the Argent Tournament are in a league of their own.
8Argent Hippogryph
One of the few rewards that’s available in the same form to both classes, every factionhas an epic mountand the one for the Argent Tournament is the Argent Hippogryph. Either faction and any class can buy this mount from any one of their faction vendors.
The catch is that players will have to be able to afford the steep cost of 150 Champion Seals. That makes the Argent Hippogryph one of the most expensive items on any vendor’s list by a wide margin.
7Sash Of Shattering Hearts
An item available to Alliance players, the Sash of Shattering Hearts has a blue socket and improves both hit rating and spell power. It’s a more than decent item for those that are also building a raid set or anyone who is planning to visit heroic dungeons in the future.

The Horde equivalent is the Sash of Trumpted Pride, which has virtually the same stats, so players on the other faction don’t feel left out. If a character changes factions at some point and they have this item, it changes to the Horde equivalent.
6Blade Of The Keening Banshee
As the name suggests, the Blade of the Keening Banshee is available for Horde players and can be purchasedfrom the Undercity Quartermaster. It’s a sword as opposed to a dagger, so the character doesn’t need to be a spellcaster class to wield it.
The dagger improves hit rating, critical strike rating, and spell power, so equally good for a Retribution Paladin or Elemental Shaman as a Warlock or a Mage. When it comes to weapons, this is one of the best items available from the Argent Tournament Quartermasters.
5Great Red Elekk
In case a player wants to browse through the faction mounts before they buy one, examples of every mount available can be found competing in the fairgrounds. The Great Red Elekk, the mount which is used by the Draenei of the Exodar faction, is one of the most imposing.

The Elekk itself isn’t exactly red. It has purplish-grey skin as most Elekks do. The red part comes from the extensive armor that covers the massive beast, making it even more intimidating in any kind of battle, never mind a one-on-one joust.
4Shimmering Wyrmling
A small, benign animal usually connected to Blood Elves and their home territory, Wyrmlings tend to appear in other areas. Hunters aren’t interested in their limited abilities andin the Blood Elf starting area, they’re usually culled as a source of mana, but they can also make attractive non-combat pets.
This pet is available to either faction. Alliance players can buy it from the Silver Covenant, and those on the Horde side can get it from the Sunreaver’s Quartermaster. The Mana Wyrmling that players can find in Outland isn’t the same thing, but if a player doesn’t want to spend 40 Champion’s Seals, it might be a better option.
3Dagger Of Lunar Purity
The Dagger of Lunar Purity may sound like a Night Elf blade, but any of the Alliance quartermasters will sell it to a player for 25 Champion’s Seals. It’s a decent price for a sweet purple dagger that gives generous buffs to Spirit, Intellect, and Stamina along with improving Haste rating and spell power.

It’s a spellcasting dagger above all else, with Mages and Warlocks at the front of the line with Shadow Priests in the queue as well. Horde players that are looking for something similar can invest in the Scalpel of the Royal Apothecary instead.
2Enchanted Broom
The Enchanted Broom is fun but also a totally superfluous magical item that only a Blood Elf would have around. It’s only available from the Silvermoon Quartermaster, which is a Horde faction.
The Enchanted Broom is something different, which is why it’s a popular item, and like all combat pets, it costs a mere 40 Champion’s Seals. That’s more than most weapons and other gear, but this is one of the most unique companion pets in all ofWarcraft.
1Gauntlets Of Shattered Pride
These Alliance gauntlets are plate and coupled with the healing powers and buffs to spell power and intellect, they are builtand designed for a Paladin. They might be the only bit of gear that’s so obviously intended for one class without it being specified, and with a low price of only 10 seals, these are ideal for the class regardless of whether players heal, tank, or focus on damage.
Other than buffing Stamina and Intellect, these gauntlets also improve spell power and critical strike rating. Horde players who want a pair just like it can invest in the Gauntlets of Mending Touch.
