Description
Should we wish to make this barding worthy of the steed who will bear it, we'll need to upgrade it. Right now it's just good for not getting you kicked off your mount. Speak with Alard Schmied in Dalaran. He's a fine smith and will know how to modify this barding into something more befitting our needs.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Preparations Underway
As you may or may not recall, I once helped young paladins obtain their first armored mount. It was a tedious task that involved months of obtaining materials and sending them all over Azeroth. Thankfully, times have changed and we now have most of those materials at hand.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Few Things First
Lately I've been working with the ore of this land, leystone it's called. I've found its qualities to hold remarkable strength and durability. We'll need a lot of it for this. There is felslate, but that's probably too tainted for what you're looking to do with this barding.
