In this Wrath of the Lich King Classic Argent Crusade reputation guide, you’ll learn:
- Where to find the Argent Crusade
- How to efficiently farm reputation
- What rewards are available and for whom they are suitable
The Argent Crusade – Genesis
The Argent Crusade reputation evolved from a faction you’ve seen in Vanilla Classic: the Argent Dawn . The faction consists of Paladins, Priests and other characters from all races who aim to heal the Plaguelands in the north of the Eastern Kingdoms and fight the Scourge.
However, they are attacked and almost defeated by the Scourge Death Knights (questline in the Death Knight class starting area). Only through Tirion Fordring and the legendary sword “Aschenbringer” can the Argent Dawn be saved from destruction. Fordring then swears vengeance on the Lich King , founds the Argent Crusade, and heads to Northrend to put an end to Arthas.
Where can I find the Argent Crusade?
Dragonblight
The Argent Crusade meets you for the first time in the Dragonblight. In Wintergarde Castle you will receive a short quest line from the NPC “Zelig, the Visionary” , which will give you reputation with the Argent Crusade. However, this questline is only available to Alliance players, which is a shame. It revolves around an event from Warcraft 3 that you experience in a completely different way. You can accept the following quests:
- traces of the past
- Orik Trueheart and the Forgotten Beach
- The Dark Grass Elixir
- The Forgotten Story
- May the truth set us free
- thoughts of farewell
- man secrets
- Frostmourne Caverns
You also get two follow-up quests from Tilda Darathan . This is right next to Orik:
- The Call of the Crusade
- The Purge of Jintha’kalar
Zul’Drak
In Zul’Drak you get a whole bunch of quests during your leveling phase that grant you reputation for the Argent Crusade. These can be found in the two Crusade locations: Light’s Breach and Argent Stand .
light breach
- Wanted: Rachmane’s Fin
- The very latest: fire still hot!
- Looking for answers
- Orders from Drakuru
- Crusader camp
- That’s what friends are for …
- Make something out of nothing
- The light denies me my revenge
- A big storm is approaching
- Gymer’s rescue
- Our only hope
- The Storm King’s Revenge
Argent Guard
This crusade base is where you will be directed after visiting the Black Watch and accepting the quest “Show Your Color” . However, you can get to the base without this quest and still get all the reputation quests, since “Show Your Color” only leads you to the Argent Guard and does not grant any reputation.

- Parachutes for the Argent Crusade
- The Blessing of Zim’Abwa
- Trouble at the Altar of Sseratus
- New orders for Sergeant Stackhammer

icecrown
In Icecrown, home of the Lich King, you will receive additional quests that will increase your reputation with the Argent Crusade. The first quest line can be found in the Argent Vanguard. There you must defend the camp and attack the Scourge camp, Scourgeholme. Meanwhile, you’ll unlock the next quest hub: the Crusader Tower.
Important : In Icecrown, the Argent Crusade reputation quests are often intertwined with other quest lines. For example, during the quests related to the Vault of Shadows, you will also get various quests that grant you reputation with the Crusade. So you should try to dust off as many quests as possible in Icecrown if you want to get maximum reputation with the Argent Crusade.

Daily Quests
troll patrol
This daily mission is based on the quest “Pa’trolling” from the quest line above and sends you to different corners of Zul’Drak in several tasks .
Dependent on the saronite
Here you only have to free 10 saronite mine slaves . You get the quest on your faction’s airship.
Can I farm Argent Crusade reputation in dungeons?
Just like the Wyrmrest Pact or the Knights of the Ebon Blade, you can purchase a tabard from the Argent Crusade Quartermaster at Friendly reputation . After that, you’ll visit heroic dungeons and gain some reputation for each enemy knocked down. It is best to do the two daily dungeon quests per day in order to slowly develop the awesome reputation.
Argent Crusade Rewards
The rewards that the Crusaders grant you are especially great for tanks, as you can find the best head enchantments for your class in the Argent Crusade.
Enchantments
The two Argent Crusade enchantments are helmet enchantments and offer strong stats for tanks – Valiant Protector’s Arcanum is actually the best enchantment for the tanking classes .
