Squire Danny is on the absolute far west side of the tournament, at the back of the ring.

The Champion is much more difficult to beat then the previous Valiant opponents. While I could easily beat the Valiant's with 90% HP remaining, it took a couple of attempts to beat the Champion.
What worked for me was primarily staying in melee range. I'd go to minimum range for the shield breaker, then immediately back in to melee. The goal was to prevent the Champion from removing my shield charges. Spend too much time at range and he will shield break -> charge, and chances are if he pulls that of you will lose.
Once I could get him down to 1 shield charge I'd get at minimum distance to charge him, then melee, and rinse repeat until dead.

How to beat every mounted duel (against NPCs): 1) Before starting, stack your shield to 3 stacks. 2) When the fight begins, immediately move out to range while they opponent backs away from you. 3) Shield Breaker. 4) Charge immediately, being sure to hit 1 (Thrust, the melee attack off the GCD) as you pass through melee range on your target. 5) Immediately following Charge, add another stack of your Shield (as soon as the GCD for Charge finishes). 6) Repeat steps 3-5 as needed until your opponent is dust. Things to note- be sure you are fully healed before each fight. Don't make the mista

  • A Blade Fit For A ChampionLevel 25-30

    I've heard that the Alliance champions are seeking after ancient blades for their warriors. We can't afford to let them have that kind of advantage. There's an old legend from Grizzly Hills about a maiden cursed with a frog's form to protect the blade she has long guarded.

  • A Worthy WeaponLevel 25-30

    Of all the times to have such rotten luck! My tournament blade has gone missing. I've heard the bards telling tales of travelers offering winter hyacinths to a lonely maiden in return for gifts.
