So, something I didn't get into yesterday that is pretty big news and looks amazingly fun to me is the new Argent Tournament. It seems to be being billed as a persistent world event where we help the Argent Crusade build a big ol' arena in which we will engage in mounted combat against . . . foes unknown as of yet. The coliseum itself will be instanced and will not be PvP based, but the building itself will not be coming in 3.1, it will come in a later patch. There seems to be a collection of daily quests already, both focusing on construction of the arena and learning to battle which are already up on the PTR. Makea over at Murloc Queen already has a multi-part walkthrough for the current quests and is updating them very nicely for the new builds as they come out. She has maps and pictures and everything, so I recommend checking that out and being way ahead of the game.

MMO-champion also released some of the new rewards that have been added as of the latest build for the Argent Tournament which are apparently purchased with "Champion's Seals." No word yet on how the Seals are obtained, but it is likely related to the dailies in some way. You can buy tabards, banners, the mounts and pets I mentioned yesterday, some epic weapons, and some rare armor. There are only a few pieces of interest to Enhancers:



Nothing to write home about, mostly for folks leveling up I would guess. Even the epic mace is nothing to write home about. It's not really going to dislodge any raiding maces probably. You may also be able to buy commendation badges to up your rep with the major cities of your faction. Fortunately, as Ambassador Drillpress, I'll get to save mine for mounts.

I'll keep freaking out like a fanboy as more cool stuff comes out.
