Paladin Charger: the level 60 epic mount chain (Classic Era baseline)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

In Classic, Alliance paladins earn the spell Summon Charger (100% speed, level 60) instead of buying an epic horse. The chain runs through Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker in Stormwind's Cathedral District. It takes you to an Ironforge priest for a censer, to Terrordale in Eastern Plaguelands to drive out spirits, and to a Stormwind smith for horse armour. Then come a ghost horse in Dire Maul West and a death knight in Scholomance's Great Ossuary. Every quest is Alliance-only and paladin-only, and each needs level 60. Blizzard has confirmed that Forsaken paladins get their own Forever mount quest, but it hasn't said whether the Alliance chain below is unchanged, so treat it as the Classic Era version.

Quick facts

Steps

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

XP is the listed Classic Era baseline value. The chain into three series: steps 2–4, steps 5–6, and steps 8, 10, 11 and 12. Step 7 follows step 6, and step 9 is a side quest you need for step 8. Blizzard's beta notes say Forever cuts dungeon quest bonus XP by 50%, which affects steps 6, 8 and 12.

Part 1: the censer and Terrordale

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Getting started. Two Alliance paladin NPCs offer the opening quest:

Both quests send you to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker, a level 60 Stormwind NPC th places at about 37.6, 32.6 in the Cathedral District. Grayson gives almost every later step, so you'll return to him often.

The censer (Ironforge). High Priest Rohan is a level 60 Ironforge NPC ths at several points in the Mystic Ward, around 23.6, 7.0. He takes the first 150g and gives you Rohan's Exorcism Censer to carry back to Grayson. Grayson then hands you the usable Exorcism Censer, a paladin-only quest item. Its tooltip says it reveals the spirits that haunt the ruins of Terrordale (30 sec cooldown).

Terrordale (Eastern Plaguelands). Terrordale is the ruined town in the far west of Eastern Plaguelands. Terrordale Spirits are level 59–60 undead, and the listed map puts their spawns between roughly 14, 31 and 22, 38. You can't see them until you use the censer. Players have reported that to use it inside the glowing green circles in the ruins, where one to three spirits appear each time, and that a paladin can solo the 25 kills in about half an hour. That timing is a player report, not a Blizzard figure.

Part 2: the Arcanite Barding

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Grimand Elmore is a level 50 NPC in Stormwind's Dwarven District (: 51.6, 12.2). The Work of Grimand Elmore only opens after Exorcising Terrordale. Collection of Goods is the expensive step:

Players have reported that Grimand walks to the forge in the middle of the Dwarven District to make the barding, then walks back to his spot before you can talk to him again. Grimand's Finest Work then has you carry the Arcanite Barding to Grayson.

Part 3: the horse feed and Dire Maul West

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Grayson's Ancient Equine Spirit quest needs the Manna-Enriched Horse Feed, which comes from a side quest that only appears while Ancient Equine Spirit is in your log. So take Ancient Equine Spirit first, then go to Southshore.

Enriched Manna Biscuits. The Enriched Manna Biscuit needs Argent Dawn Friendly and level 45. There are three Argent Dawn quartermasters who sell it for roughly 63s to 68s each:

If you aren't Friendly yet, our Argent Dawn reputation guide covers the fastest routes. Take the 20 biscuits and 50g to Merideth Carlson, a level 32 NPC at the Southshore stables in Hillsbrad Foothills (: 52.0, 55.6).

Dire Maul West. With the feed and the Arcanite Barding in your bags, go to Dire Maul West and kill Tendris Warpwood (level 60 elite). The listed quest text says killing him frees the Ancient Equine Spirit. Feed it, give it the barding, and it hands back the Blessed Arcanite Barding. Commenters note that the spirit wanders off quickly, so catch it straight away. Take the barding back to Grayson.

Part 4: Judgment and Redemption in Scholomance

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The diamonds. The Divination Scryer needs two gems, both tradeable: - The Azerothian Diamond comes mostly from Gray Sack of Gems and Solid Chests. - The Pristine Black Diamond has a low drop rate from a long list of high-level enemies (about 200), including Scarlet Cavaliers in Western Plaguelands.

Grayson then gives you Lord Grayson's Satchel. Its tooltip says your Divination Scryer and Blessed Arcanite Barding are inside.

The finale, as the listed quest text and commenters describe it: 1. Enter Scholomance with a group and go down to the Great Ossuary's basement. Commenters say this is Rattlegore's room, so kill him and clear it first. 2. Use the Divination Scryer in the middle of the room. Its tooltip says to plant it in the heart of the Great Ossuary's basement. 3. Four waves of spirits attack: Banal, Malicious, Corrupted and Shadowed. Each wave ends with an Aspect (for example the Aspect of Banality), a level 60 elite. Commenters say each type is weak to one judgement: Wisdom on Banal, Justice on Malicious, Righteousness on Corrupted and Light on Shadowed. Several paladins in the group make this easier. 4. After the last Aspect, Death Knight Darkreaver (level 62 elite undead) appears. Kill him and loot Charger's Lost Soul. 5. Use the Lost Soul on Darkreaver's Fallen Charger to get Charger's Redeemed Soul. Then talk to the charger to complete Judgment and Redemption and learn Summon Charger.

Commenters also report that a wipe can leave the basement door locked, and that abandoning the quest and taking it again from Grayson gives you a new satchel. That is a Classic Era player report.

No pins for Stratholme, Dire Maul or Scholomance, because those steps happen inside instances.

Reward (Classic Era baseline)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The reward is the spell Summon Charger, not an item. The listed tooltip says it requires level 60 and the Paladin class, costs 150 mana, has a 3 second cast, can only be used outdoors and summons a Charger that increases your speed by 100%. It replaces the level 40 Summon Warhorse. Forever gives you a mount when you learn riding (Blizzard Deep Dive recap), but Blizzard hasn't said how warlock and paladin class mounts fit in.

Forsaken paladins in Forever

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Forever adds Undead (Forsaken) paladins on the Horde side, and they can't take this Alliance chain. Blizzard's Found Photos panel recap says Forsaken paladins get their own epic mount quest at level 60. Alliance paladins claim their charger "in the name of Redemption", and the Forsaken ride "in the name of Retribution". 's news post calls the mount the Forsaken Charger. Blizzard hasn't published the quest name, NPCs, cost or steps, so we don't list any yet.
