Charger


 * The mighty charger serves as the steed for all those who serve the Light.



The Charger is an epic version of the Warhorse mount only available to paladins. It is trainable at level 40 and up until Patch 4.0.1 was a reward for completing a lengthy quest series. Completing the lengthy chain awarded a Feat of Strength achievement and also rewarded Journeyman Riding. Training this ability at level 40 requires 150 riding skill and the Warhorse ability learned.

Differences between Alliance and Horde
Blood elf paladins receive a different but similar ability, Summon Charger, by the same means. Humans, dwarves, and draenei receive a Charger with blue livery and golden-plated armor, and which exudes a light golden aura. However, the blood elf Charger has red livery, with what appears to be brass armor, and exudes a reddish aura. The blood elf quest also awards a blood knight tabard.
