World of Warcraft: Midnight - How to Get the Relinquished Scarlet Charger Mount
World of Warcraft: Midnight - How to Get the Relinquished Scarlet Charger Mount is a straight quest reward guide. Relinquished Scarlet Charger is not a drop and not a vendor mount. You earn it by completing the quest "Relinquishing Relics" during Arator's Journey campaign path, specifically within "The Path of Light" questline, and the mount is granted when that quest completes.
The main trap is doing unrelated content. This mount is tied to Arator's Journey and a specific quest name, so your progress comes from staying on that campaign path and advancing the story until you reach the named quest. Treat the quest title as your anchor: if you are not progressing Arator's Journey, you are not moving toward this mount.
The Relinquished Scarlet Charger
Relinquished Scarlet Charger is awarded by the quest "Relinquishing Relics" in Midnight. Warcraft Mounts lists the mount source as that quest and notes it is part of "The Path of Light" questline within the Arator's Journey campaign in Midnight, and Blizzard's Arator campaign preview says you can claim the mount when you complete the "Relinquishing Relics" quest during that journey. That means there is no RNG layer: your progress is purely story progression to that quest and finishing its objectives. Note that preview information and quest placement can still change before launch or via hotfixes, but the current listed source is the quest name above.
If you are chasing this mount for a non-paladin character, the key nuance is that you do not need to be a paladin to use it once it is added to your collection. Icy Veins summarizes the same source framing: the mount is rewarded from the "Relinquishing Relics" quest and is presented as a normal Mount Journal unlock earned through Midnight questing, not as a class-only Divine Steed replacement.
The path that stays on track
You get this mount by advancing the Arator campaign path until you reach the quest "Relinquishing Relics", then completing that quest. Blizzard describes Arator's Journey as a continent-spanning questline you undertake alongside Arator at the request of Alonsus Faol, traveling to familiar locations like Light's Hope Chapel and Scarlet Monastery as part of that storyline. Your goal is not to free-roam those locations, it is to follow the Arator quest chain in order until it naturally leads you to the mount quest.
Step-by-step checklist
| Step | What to do | How to confirm you are on track |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Select and follow the Arator's Journey campaign path during Midnight | Your active quest chain is explicitly tied to Arator and the "The Path of Light" storyline |
| 2 | Continue the Arator chain without switching away to unrelated questlines | You keep receiving sequential Arator story quests rather than moving into other campaign threads |
| 3 | Reach the quest named "Relinquishing Relics" | The quest title matches exactly, and it appears in your quest log as the next Arator step |
| 4 | Complete "Relinquishing Relics" | The mount is awarded on quest completion as the quest reward |
| 5 | Open your Mount Journal and confirm the unlock | Relinquished Scarlet Charger appears in Mount Journal and can be used normally |
Common mistakes that waste time
The most common mistake is farming the wrong content because the mount name sounds like an event reward. This mount is tied to the Arator campaign and a specific quest name, so unrelated grinding will not move you closer to it. Another frequent mistake is losing the campaign thread by bouncing between story paths and then forgetting which chain you were progressing; the fix is simple: open your quest log and keep pushing the Arator chain until you see the quest title "Relinquishing Relics".
If you complete the quest but do not see the mount immediately, do not panic and do not redo content. Check your Mount Journal for "Relinquished Scarlet Charger" and make sure it is present in your collection. If you still do not see it, re-check that the quest you completed was exactly "Relinquishing Relics" and not a similarly named step in a different chain.
Conclusion
Relinquished Scarlet Charger is a guaranteed quest reward in WoW Midnight, awarded by completing the quest "Relinquishing Relics" in Arator's Journey, within "The Path of Light" storyline. The fastest way to get it is to treat it like a campaign checkpoint: pick the Arator path, follow it without switching away, and push quests until the named quest appears. You are not farming a drop, so efficiency comes from staying on the correct chain rather than optimizing kills or currency. Blizzard highlights the mount as a reward tied to that quest, and Warcraft Mounts lists the same quest as the mount source.
If you want to finish with minimal friction, keep one rule: if the quest is not part of Arator's Journey, it is not moving you toward this mount. Use the quest name as your anchor, because it is the only requirement that matters. Once you complete "Relinquishing Relics", the mount is granted as the quest reward and should appear in your collection. At that point you are done, with no vendor steps and no RNG cleanup.
