Introduction
The Argent Crusade is a faction created from the union of the Argent Dawn and the Order of the Silver Hand. It was formed shortly after the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel. He assumed a leadership position over the Argent Dawn and united the two factions in order to take the fight against the Lich King to Northrend.

Reputation
The Argent Crusade has something in store for everyone, but just like all the other factions, you need a significant amount of reputation to receive the ability to get access to them. In this section are all possible ways described to gain reputation with the Argent Crusade.
Championing
Once you are friendly or higher with the Argent Crusade, you can buy their tabard at the Argent Crusade Quartermaster. When you wear it, all reputation gained while killing mobs in a 5-man dungeon or heroic, will go to your standing with the Argent Crusade.

Daily Quests
There are only 2 daily quests for the Argent Crusade. I guess this compensates the massive amount of normal quests you can do. The daily quests are:
- [80] Slaves to Saronite (+250 rep)
- [76] Pa’troll (+350 rep)
Pa’trol requires you to a task for 4 different memebers of the Argent Crusade. And you get 500 extra reputation if you succeed in completing it under 20 minutes.
A big help when trying to get it done under 20 minutes is this addon It shows the ingredients you need for Dr' Finklestein's Task. Which can normally be a pain to find.
Instead of describing in words how to do these quests, here is a great video on how to do them.

Rewards
Argent Crusade rewards can be bought from the Quartermaster in Icecrown:
The rewards at the following reputation levels are:
Friendly
- Tabard of the Argent Crusade – 1g - The Tabard you need to champion the cause of the Argent Crusade
Honored
- Arcanum of the Fleeing Shadow - 50g - Mediocore enchant, woudn't recommend it.
- Cloak of Holy Extermination - 21g 9s 13c - Nice physical DPS cloak, not worth grinding rep for, but good to pick up if you're working towards Revered/Exalted
- Standard Issue Legguards - 46g 18s 42c - Very solid Holy Pala leggings, would advice you to pick it up as paladins are going to grind this faction anyway.
- Special Issue Legplates - 46g 36s 29c - Solid Tanking leggings, can't find much better outside Heroics. Unless you're not def capped yet.
Revered
- Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector - 150g - A must have for every self-respecting tank.
- Argent Skeleton Crusher - 89g 56s 27c - One of the best Pre-Naxx 2H DPS weapons you can get.
- Battle-Mender's Helm - 32g 72s 90c - A great Elemental/Restoration head piece if you're a shaman. Note that it lacks Hit Rating and Mp5
- Design: Guardian's Twilight Opal - 4g - Pattern to a great Tanking gem, not the best though.
- Fang-Deflecting Faceguard - 37g 96s 85c - Don't be fooled by the name, it is a DPS helm, and a very good one. Not the best though.
- Purifying Torch - 52g 35s 6c - Solid wand, can't say much more/
- Zombie Sweeper Shotgun - 53g 94s 17c - A pretty good pre-naxx gun for Hunters, not the best though, but worth picking up besides the Hauberk
Exalted
- Boots of the Neverending Path - 35g 83s 98c - The best Pre-Naxx Rogue/Hunter boots you'll find.
- Helm of Purified Thoughts - 53g 67s 12c - A great Holy Paladin head piece, it's even better than the titansteel one.
- Pattern: Brilliant Spellthread - 5g - Recipe for a good healing enchant, consider this as a bonus, not something to be worth grinding for.
- Polished Regimental Hauberk - 61g 23s 79c - The best Pre-Naxx Hunter chest. Can't go wrong with this one.
- Signet of Hopeful Light - 28g 49s 83c - A very good caster ring, for healers and DPS alike, this will serve you well in Naxxramas
