“In your training as a valiant, you’ll have the chance to test your skills against valiants representing other cities. Although a valiant’s battles are not a formal part of the competition, you will learn valuable lessons about the fighting styles and weaknesses of your opponents. The valiants are a spirited lot, competing amongst themselves for honor and notoriety.
Train as a valiant until you are confident of your ability to best all who face you, then bring me the seals you have earned.”
-Jaelyne Evensong
Bring 25 Valiant’s Seals to Jaelyne Evensong at the Argent Tournament Grounds.
You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
You will receive:
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
Quest Giver: Your city’s grand champion delegate. For Darnassus: Jaelyne Evensong. Each Alliance/Horde city has its own version.
Objective: Collect 25 Valiant’s Seals by completing Valiant daily quests. Return with the seals to prove you’re ready for the Valiant’s Challenge.
Quick Facts
Walkthrough
Same structure as the Aspirant phase, but with more dailies and a higher seal requirement. You accept this quest and spend 5 days doing Valiant dailies to accumulate 25 seals. Once you have them, turn in and proceed to the Valiant’s Challenge jousting duel.
| Daily Quest | Seals | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| One rotating weapon quest (A Blade Fit for a Champion/A Worthy Weapon/The Edge of Winter) | 2 | Same three weapon quests from the Aspirant phase. Now award Valiant’s Seals instead of Aspirant’s Seals. |
| A Valiant’s Field Training | 1 | Kill 10 Converted Heroes at the Conflagration, west of the tournament grounds in Icecrown. Slightly harder than the Aspirant version (10 kills instead of 8, specific mob type). |
| The Grand Melee | 1 | Jousting duel against 3 Valiants from other faction cities at the Valiants’ Ring. Uses standard jousting mechanics. Good practice for the Valiant’s Challenge. |
| At the Enemy’s Gates | 1 | Mount a special siege vehicle and assault Scourge forces near the gates of Icecrown Citadel. Kill 15 Boneguard Footmen, 10 Boneguard Scouts, and 3 Boneguard Lieutenants. |

Not a formal part of the competition. So for five days I fought Stormwind and Ironforge and Gnomeregan and the Exodar in bouts that went into nobody’s ledger, and the object of the exercise, as she put it, was to learn the weaknesses of my opponents.
Every man who has kept me alive in this country came out of one of those four cities. I did the exercise anyway. I know now where a gnome valiant’s guard drops when his arm gets tired, and where a draenei carries his weight coming out of a turn.
Twenty-five seals by the fifth evening.
“Are you ready to demonstrate your mastery of the valiant’s skills?”
I gave them to her.
“Impressive, valiant. I will make the arrangements for your test immediately.”
Honor and notoriety. Down the hill from those grounds there is a fortress full of things that compete for neither.
Five days of fights that counted for nothing come due the moment Jaelyne makes the arrangements, and the one that counts is The Valiant’s Challenge.
