So, you're finally level 60 and probably completely fed up with your warhorse. Why don't we change that, eh?
Non-paladins often think, that since paladin get warhorse for free, so is it with charger - nothing more wrong. Getting yourself a charger is a very hard work, and a very expensive one. The questchain involves getting some very nasty reagents, paying a lot of money and visiting some instance dungeons. But first things first.

First thing you should do after reaching 60, is going to paladin master Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker, residing at Stormwind Cathedral. From him you can get two quests - The work of Grimand Elmore and Emphasis on sacrifice. These start two separate quest lines, but be better done simultaneously.
The work of Grimand Elmore sends you to Dwarven district of Stormwind, where you need to speak with one of the finest craftsman in Azeroth, Grimand Elmore, so he can make you an arcanite barding for your charger. Now the harder part. Grimand Elmore sends you out with quest Collection of goods. To get your arcanite barding, you need to get the following:
- 150g. Not cheap, but no worries - it's less than half of what you'll have to gather next
- 40 runecloth. You should have no problems with that. Either farm humanoids a bit, do some Strat or Scholo runs or buy it in AH
- 10 Arthas' Tears. It's a herb. Usually not very common in Auction house, but fairly easy to get for skilled herbalist. Just ask any of your herbalist friends - gathering 10 tears is a matter of 15 minutes spent in Plaguelands
- 5 bottles of Stratholme holy water. Easiest to get. Just gather ir from supply crates all over Stratholme.
And, last but not least:
- 6 Arcanite bars. Now, after TBC, prices of arcanite dropped rapidly because of reducing transmutation cooldown to 24 hours. If you have access to very well rewarded Hellfire Peninsula quests, you could as well just buy all of them in AH. Of course if you're an alchemist or have an alchemist friend, this can prove to be even cheaper (arcane crystals and thorium bars still prove to be less expensive that arcanite bars)
After you gather all these, just get them all back to Grimand Elmore and you'll receive shiny new arcanite barding.

Now the other quest:
Emphasis on sacrifice is technically much simpler than Collection of goods - all you have to do is bring 150g to High Priest Rohan in Ironforge. After doing so, you'll receive exorcism cencer - needed for future quests.

The next step is first one involving some pure action. Return to Shadowbreaker with exorcism cencer and he'll send you to Eastern Plaguelands with quest called Exorcising Terrordale. Terrordale is located south-west from Stratholme. You'd better get there through Plaguewood. Before 1.11 patch, Terrorweb Tunnel was completely empty, but now it's infested with crypt fiends plus nerubian overseer (lvl 60 elite). Your goal in Terrordale is to destroy 25 spirits. Scattered through Terrordale are green spots on the ground (fairly easy to notice). Stand on one of the spots and use the cencer. This will summon one to three spirits (lvl 59 or 60). Better make sure there ain't any other hostile mobs around beforehead. This quest is doable solo, but you better supply yourself with food and water - every fight will be very exhausting. Also, you'd be better to make sure your Divine Shield is ready. Is you feel this task is too hard for you, you can always bring a friend to help. After killing 25 spirits, get back to Shadowbreaker.
(Continuing in next post)

The next step requires you to complete both Collection of goods and Exorcising Terrordale. The quest is called Ancient Equine Spirit. Your goal is to get your arcanite barding blessed. This will have to take place in Dire Maul, but before that, you'll have to speak with Merideth Carlson - horse breeder in Southshore, to acquire Manna-enriched horse feed. Merideth will set you out with a quest Manna-enriched horse feed. You need to get 20 Enriched manna biscuits. They can be bought off Argent Dawn quartermaster in Chillwind camp or Light's hope chapel (required friendly reputation) for a price of 60s per 5 biscuits. Along with the buscuits, you'll have to bring Merideth a fee of 50g. After doing so, you'll be happy owner of Manna-enriched horse feed, needed for the next step of the quest, which is a bit tricky.
Your target is in western part of Dire Maul instance. To enter you'll need either crescent key (optainable in eastern Dire Maul) or a rogue with high lockpicking skill. Your target is Tendris Warpwood - treant boss, located in second room in western Dire Maul. First thing you'll need to do is clear the area of treant patrolls (no need to kill stationary mobs - they can be avoided). It's very important, because Warpwood will summon all of them when you attack him. Boss himself is fairly easy to kill - you'll have no trouble at all with decent group. After his death, ancient equine spirit will appear. All you need to do is talk to him, having the manna-enriched horse feed and an arcanite barding with you. The spirit will bless your barding and you may go back to Shadowbreaker.

The Divination scryer
You're getting close! Lord Grayson wants you to bring him Pristine black diamond and Azerothian diamond. The first one is a very rare drop in high lvl instances. Hos prices on different servers differ very much, going from 10 to even 70g. Azerothian diamond drops sometimes from thorium veins and is cheaper than Pristine black in AH. Deliver these two things to Shadowbreaker and prepare for last trial.

Judgement and Redemption
This is it - the big one. By starting this quest you'll receive a bag, in which you'll find your blessed arcanite barding and divination scryer. The last part of the chain takes place in Scholomance. The divination scryer must be placed in the heart of Great Ossuary's basement (where Rattlegore is). This will summon waves of spirits you'll need to kill. Eventually a death knight will appear. Killing him will release a fallen charger spirit needed to complete the quest. This was theory.
The most important thing here is gathering a decent group. The ideal group would consist of 3 paladins, a priest and a mage or warlock. Why 3 paladins? Because certain paladin judgements have a special effect on the spirits in the event. Using correct judgement will deal heavy AoE damage and stun the enemies. Now how exactly this works:
After clearing the Ossuary basement, the team should stay in the right corner of the room (after entering the room, go straight right). Paladin must place the scryer in the middle of the room (no matter where exactly - spirits will spawn regardless of scryer's position) and quickly join the rest od the group. Spirits will appear in chaotic groups - prepare for heavy fighting, however your group won't be in range of aggro of most of the spirits, since you'll be standing in the corner - that gains you the upper hand and enables to have a few mana breaks, before pulling next mobs. After few dozens of non-elite mobs, an elite mini-boss will appear. After killing him, the next wave starts. As I said before, paladins should use certain judgements agains the spirits in following way:
Wave 1 - Judgement of Wisdom
Wave 2 - Judgement of Justice
Wave 3 - Judgement of Righteousness
Wave 4 - Judgement of Light
Assure, that all paladins have these seals at maximum rank, or they won't work. After killing wave 4 mini boss, a death knight will spawn. This is hard fight - he uses nasty abbilities and is generally pain in the ass. There ain't any special tactics you could use - just hit him as hard as you can, use your paladin spells (remember you have 3 Lay on Hands in team! Isn't that terrific?) and help priest in healing when it's necessary. Eventually, he will die, and Fallen charger spirit will appear. There are few last steps you need to make here. First, loot the knight to find Fallen Charger Soul (among some other very nice drops), closed in some kind of orb. Use the orb in the middle of the room to redeem the charger's spirit. Then, talk to the charger spirit, give him redeemed soul and blessed arcanite barding. After clicking "Complete quest" button, you'll learn Summon Charger spell. Congratulations! Now just don't forget to supply your teammates with huge thanks and hugs, because they've earned it!

I hope this guide will help my fellow brothers and sisters in their quests
Good luck, Light be with you

thanks, but i dont have any alchemist friends how much are the arcanite bars on your sever on mine they are 40g, should i buy them?

Well, *cough* on my server they go for approx. 25g and it's considered expensive, so...
You can always buy yourself a transmute. The prices here may vary too and it mainly depends on server's age. You need to watch AH and trade channels carefully (Auctionner Addon ftw!). Observe, what is the usual price for arcane crystals, arcanite and how many alchemists want for transmutes. Make some calculations and use the way, which will be the cheapest.

yeh got myself a normal epic pony

questing for a week @ 60 VS doing all of that T_T

did the quest in scholo with my shaman, hate it :p

good guide i recently did this quest the guy in scholo is easy i didn't even know i had 2 judge them i was the only pally in the grp. my grp was ex gm warrior and priest, rank13 priest and a rank 11 mage (i'm in a pvp guild) the coolest mount in the game pitty it cost 150 mana 2 summon

Q u o t e:
did the quest in scholo with my shaman, hate it :p

Not to nit pick, but how on earth did you do the Scholo part (or indeed, any of it) with a shammy?

thanks for all the information Ilathud, it has helped me loads

good info, sticky please!

EDIT: cheers, i got it stickied :)

when i did this quest like a year ago it was tough. getting the money was a pain enough getting those arcanite bars was tough they costed alot more then they do now :P current price for pristine black diamond is about 2g on shadowmoon when i bought it the drop chance was still extremly low so it cost me 140g :P overall it cost me as much as a normal epic mount :P

its made alot easier since then :)

Paladin epic mount is too easy to get to be honest, costed me about ~480Gold and beats almost every other mount^^

Is there any way to cut the cost, like warlocks can get other warlocks to summon the even for them ?

Very true , imo the coolest epic mount ever is the charger , and you get it for 540 g discount , what are you waiting for! i even loved the quests also :) and especially as a human ...who the hell wants an ugly pony :-/

Paladin epic charger is nice.. but trynig to do the bit with the Death Knight is a pain in the behind. Trying to get a scholomance group is pretty hard and cranking out enough DPS after trashing all the minibosses to finish the Knight is really hard. To be honest if I had the choice/Money again I would probably just buy the BG mount, Ram or the Rank Mount.

Very nice guide, but you might want to add the names of the undeads in each wave, so our dear new paladins can easily know which wave is which for easier judgements ;)

I'd post the names here, but it's been so long since i did the quest that i dont remember anymore (Heh, i did the quest when scholo was hard with a 10 man group, diamonds cost 600g and virgins differed from madonna in every way imaginable ;))

you bought yourself an epic rather than do the quest cos its more effort? I'd say doing a very easy set of quests and spening around 500g, is alot easier than grinding the 800-1000g needed for a normal epic mount. Unless ofc you;ve been grinding up the pvp ladder in which case 70g mount ftw ^^

Great post. Only thing i would add is to bring greater shadow pots for the deathknight. Hate to get all the way there and wipe for lack of em.

Also. I did with priest, mage, warrior and 2 x pally. Warrior did a nice job of tanking the Death Knight
