Daily quests (popularly nicknamed dailies) are repeatable quests first introduced in patch 2.1. These quests have significantly better rewards than normal repeatable quests. Patch 2.2.0 saw the introduction of more daily quests for seasonal events. In Patch 2.3, new daily quests were introduced for instances, battlegrounds, fishing and cooking.

Restrictions

You may complete up to 25 daily quests per day per character. The exact reset hour depends on the realm, but it never changes, is chosen to be in the early AM, and will not coincide with the instance reset. You can double-check by mousing over the daily quests completed out of 25 in the upper-right corner of your quest log. Prior to Patch 2.4 there was a limit of 10 daily quests per day, but was increased to the current limit to accommodate the large number of Shattered Sun Offensive daily quests.

Often, a quest chain needs to be completed first to unlock the quest. All daily Skyguard, Ogri'la, and Netherwing quests require level 70 and require a flying mount. Netherwing daily quests require the artisan (epic flying) riding skill, although not an epic mount. The Cooking and Fishing dailies require level 70 to obtain, but only a few require that you be able to get to places which require flying.

There are a maximum of 45 daily quests available to a player at any one time (when all have been unlocked). This does not count seasonal events.

Below is a list of all daily quests ordered by faction and location.

Battleground Quests

Quest givers can be found in any capital city near the Battleground Masters. The quest objective is to win a specific battleground. They give honor, gold and XP; the reward varies by level (11 99  and 419  at level 70). Only one daily is available per day and is randomly chosen from the list. The available daily quest varies between servers.

•  [70P] Call to Arms: Eye of the Storm

Cooking Quests

Daily cooking quests are handed out by The Rokk in Shattrath City. The quest is random each day (although will be the same for everyone on the same server) and requires 275 Cooking and a level 70 character. Each quest involves travel across Outland to different locations, two are only accessible with a flying mount. The four possible quests are:

•  [70] Manalicious (Netherstorm)

The reward for each of these quests is a choice between [Barrel of Fish] or [Crate of Meat], and 7 59 .

Note that although the minimum skill level to obtain the cooking quests is 275, all of the foods needed for the quests require a minimum cooking skill of 325 to make (except the foods for Super Hot Stew, which require 335). Thus, if you want to complete the quests without levelling up your cooking that far, you'll have to get the foods either from a friend/guildmate, through trade with someone else, or from the Auction House.
