Grimand's Finest Work

Take the Arcanite Barding to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker in Stormwind's Cathedral District for his inspection.
Arcanite Barding
Provided Item:
Arcanite Barding

Description

<Grimand wipes sweat from his brow, beaming with a sense of pride.>

There you are, my friend. This is some of my finest work - as good as the barding I personally made for Lord Shadowbreaker when he went for his own charger. I thank you for your trust in me to provide for you the best.

No doubt Grayson will want to see the work for himself as well. Take your barding to him, and give him my thanks for his honorable business.

Upon completing this quest and giving the Arcanite Barding to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker, please be aware that he will keep this quest item until you have completed the quest chain starting with Emphasis on Sacrifice. After that 3-part quest line has been completed, speak to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker and he will give you the next quest in the chain, Ancient Equine Spirit, and return the Arcanite Barding as a quest item.

If you have already completed the other quest chain, upon completing this quest in Lord Grayson will immediately offer you the next quest chain.

Guys, you really need to read the quest somthimes. Grayson has to take the Barding away it just belongs to the quest. You have to do Emphasis of Sacrifice, then you'l get a follow up.

Charger is the most beautiful mount ever! I like all Epics to be honest, but Charger is simply Charger:) But I agree with Dwarf Pala they should be able to get quest for Epic Pala Ram...

Can somebody tell me what quests I have to do, and what order I do them in?

I'm pretty sure I have all the items that I need for the quests, even the horse feed and I'm working on the holy vials.

Um...with the pristine diamond cost, the 350 gold out of pocket, the 6 arcane crystals, the transmutes for them, and the azerothian diamond this quest EASILY breaks 900 g's.&nbsp Kind of lame.&nbsp I thought the quest was fair with the feed, the arcanite bars, and the monesy costs because arcanite isnt that easy to come by.&nbsp take and azer on there and i am fine with that.&nbsp but a diamond that barely anyone ever sees...i mean i have seen the epic carapace drop but never one of these.

yep, it is very cool. i saw it in the auction house. it looks kinda like the other one except there arent any "rips" in the blue cloth at the bottom part an a lot of the armor is golden and the horse has golden horns poking out of its forehead. man, wish i could give u guys all a pic of it but the guy went away before i had the chance. :(

If you have problem with Arcanite Boarding that you havent recive after turning quest just abandon Ancient Equine Spirit quest and re take it. It should solve your problem.

Ok kids. for those of you who are confused and sad and dejected by this whole sordid affair, here's how being a paladin in this mans alliance works.

the quest to get your awesome charger of glowingness is a BILINEAL TWO PART CHAIN.

For those of you who do not know what that means I have prepared this simple diagram.

(check formatted link at the bottom, Allak eats my ascii.)

what this means in laymans terms is there are actually TWO start quests here. go get the censure from dwarfgar mcpriestly and then go on a convoluted journey to feed a ghost horse some cookie crumbs.

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR

The dwarf who makes your barding? HE TAKES YOUR CRAP AND LEAVES THE SHOP. he goes over to the FORGE and FORGES your FORGED PLATE BARDING. (it's a forgery.)

He then books back, hauls ass really, back to his shop. no little happy arrow shows up on his head, you just gotta be like "Yo nub where's my horsemail?"

When you get your bland chargerplate from him, lord blinky the paladin king sends you on a quest to get oats from southshore. ghost oats. for a ghost horse. You remember how arthas kept his horse in WC3? well apparently the NOBLE HORSE SPIRIT gets corrupted with the deathknight. or something. your whole adventure revolves around befriending casper the friendly horse.

HOW YOU DO THIS AND WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

Once you grind friendly with the argent dawn (not hard, pansies.) you buy 20 cookies and give the wench in southshore 50g. she gets all redeemed on your case but keeps your money. she gives you a bag of oats and sends you off to feed a spectral horse who's apparently been stuck inside of a tree for 10 000 years, rotting in the ruins of the Highborn Diremaul. When you go find the tree (instance west side of the main courtyard. needs a crescent key. if you don't have that, get someone to die inside and ghost through the door/open it from within. alternately all go flag pvp in the conveniently located ogre arena and kill eachother at no armor cost.ghost into the instance like that.) the tree is in the far west end in a big pit in the floor.

Rotenknots McWoodenface sucks. he's a L.60 elite, but that's not so bad. just when you hit him he calls all his homie trees to come beat your ass down. he also hits like a warmule. so clean house upstairs before engaging.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-
Beating him down awards you with the opportunity to put your shiny metal baldric on the ghosthorse after you feed him some oats. make sure you have the damned thing with you. don't bank it, don't drop it, don't destroy it, and -=- don't -=- forget -=- it -=- with -=- the -=- dwarf.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-

from here on it's pretty straight forward. You have a blessed metal horsemail thingajobber and have to go to Scholomanse with a thinger you made from a pristine black diamond and an azerothan diamond with glitters, lord of the paladins. In a basement room beside a musty old pile of paintcans and some forgotten fluorescent lightbulbs (or something) you have to summon a death knight, kick him in the junk and steal his horse.

YOU GET
PALADIN CHARGER
RIDE 150
CREDIT CARD DEBT

This boss sucks, you don't get to steal his weapon to use against dr. wiley.

and that, as far as I remember, is that.

in the words of me:

"The Originally Formatted Version Is At http://www.bitdcomics.com/charger In Case Autoformat Ruins This One."

The dwarf in stormwind gave me the arcanit barding with the words: No doubt Grayson will want to see the work for himself as well.
And so i went over to the Kathedral of Stormwind and grayson sad to me something like:,,...best work...now get some mana enriched food for the horse."
Done like he sad but now where are the Baridngs
For the next quest i need both items but i only have the food.
When will i get my bardings back from grayson ore is it a buged quest?
any paldin that did the quest, please say me if something is going wrong with my quest.

there is nothing wrong with the quest, after u turn in the items to grimand elmore he makes the arcanite barding. he is not supposed to say anything else. go to grayson and do the quest he gives you and move on and move on. there is nothing wrong with grimand its just that u completed the grimand elmore part of the quest. so dont cry
