Summoning the Charger quest chain Summoning the Charger is a quest chain wherein an alliance paladin earns a summonable very fast ( epic ) land mount . This quest was effectively removed from the game with as Lord Grayson no longer offers the Divination Scryer which is required to summon Darkreaver . Summoning the charger . Prelude . You ' ve heard rumors of them . You may even know someone who has one . And Light help you , you are even envious . The Charger . A mount par excellence , inferior to none . Brandur Ironhammer , your mentor in Ironforge directs you to Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker , the premier paladin in Stormwind City . Lord Shadowbreaker , Brandur says , will guide you through the process of getting a charger of your own . You venture forth , with an eagerness you haven ' t felt since you were newly recruited . In the Cathedral of Light , Grayson Shadowbreaker confirms it . He warns you , though , that the trials you will undergo are not for education - you are beyond the need for that - but to save your future companion from that same evil you have been fighting for so long . Exorcising Terrordale . Your first task is to secure High Priest Rohan ' s Exorcism Censor . Your need is worthy , but so is the High Lord ' s . Leaving him bereft is unjust , so you are prompted to make a donation to cover the costs of a replacement . You are more than willing to sacrifice , donating a great deal of gold . More , in fact , than is strictly required for the replacement of the Censer . Your sacrifice does not go unrewarded . High Priest Rohan gives you the Censer and his blessings for your donation . Rohan directs you to return to Lord Shadowbreaker , to learn how you are to put this Censer to use . The area of the Eastern Plaguelands known as Terrordale quakes under the assault of tormented spirits . Shadowbreaker wants you to travel there , and render judgement upon the spirits , lifting the seige , at least in part . In Terrordale you find areas where the land itself shows the strain of the spirits ' assault . You wield the Censer , forcing spirits to appear before you . You render the judgement of the Light upon them , and dissipate a great many of them . Returning to Stormwind to report back to Grayson Shadowbreaker , you are told that you will soon be facing none other than the Death Knight , Darkreaver . The Blessed Barding . Your mount will require armor , given your line of work . And not just any armor , either . . . Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker sends you to Grimand Elmore , in the Dwarven District of Stormwind City . His work is among the finest in the world , and won ' t be cheap or easy . Grimand confirms your fears . . . Not only will you have to bring to him many exotic items for the construction of the barding , but his fee is not small either . To fill his needs , you need not only to employ the services of an herbalist , a miner , and an alchemist , but you find need to venture into the heart of Stratholme , seeking out unlooted ( and unsullied ) stores of holy water . On the plus side , you also get a saddle and stirrups for free . . . Returning to Shadowbreaker , you are directed to find a spirit suitable to bless Elmore ' s work . One such spirit resides in Dire Maul , you are told , a prisoner of a corrupt Treant , Tendris Warpwood . Freeing the spirit is not enough , though . You are told you will need to soothe it as well . And for that , you need to speak with Merideth Carlson in Southshore . Speak with her you do , a conversation you will remember for a long time . Meredith , it seems , has been thought crazy for so long that she ' s gone a little around the bend , as it were . Enriched Manna Biscuit s , sold by the Argent Dawn quartermasters , are key to the manna - enriched horse feed she makes . But she wants the Silver Hand pay . . . PAY , I say . . . and since you ' re asking for this , it ' s you who hands over yet more gold . Spirit - horse chow in hand , you then venture into the depths of Dire Maul . You battle your way through Tendris ' servants , and face the rotter itself , in all its mouldering terror . It is unequal to the might of you and your companions , though , and is soon felled . Returning to the park you ' d seen a short time ago , you find the Ancient Equine Spirit waiting . It accepts your offer of the feed , and after a bit indicates that you should put the barding on its back . You place the barding on the back of the spirit . It glows slightly , and you can sense magic at work . Then , the barding is once again stowed away . The spirit has blessed it . You return to Grayson Shadowbreaker with the now - blessed barding . He tells you that there is but one last item to be prepared before you face your final challenge . Soul of a Charger . The Censer you used earlier is to form the base of a scryer . In fact , the scryer is almost complete . There are two items still needed for it , though : an Azerothian Diamond , and a Pristine Black Diamond . Both hard to find . Sacrifice is seldom easy , but you do this eagerly . Returning with the opposed diamonds , Shadowbreaker tells you of your final goal as he completes the Scryer . The Death Knight Darkreaver rides the soul of a once - noble charger . Your task is to defeat Darkreaver , freeing his mount ' s soul . In the once great citadel of Caer Darrow lies the dungeon that is the Scholomance . You brave the specters and revenants inhabiting the place , and arrive at the Great Ossuary . Defeating Rattlegore is simply a prelude to the much more difficult challenge facing you . You set up the scryer , and summon forth and dispatch many , many accursed spirits before finally winkling Darkreaver out of hiding . The battle is epic , the conclusion glorious . You separate the charger ' s soul from the remains of Darkreaver , and return it to the beast , judging the charger redeemed . It willingly submits to your placing the blessed barding upon its back , lifting the burdens of its past from it . Rewards . You will learn : Along the way , you will have directly earned : and the corresponding ' spillover ' increase in other alliance factions ( including the Stormwind and Ironforge ones ) .
