When do World Quests reset in WoW Dragonflight?

Whenever players log into World of Warcraft, they can always find something to do on the map. From World Quests to dungeons, players rack up hundreds of hours in playtime each expansion. But with the launch of Dragonflight, Blizzard made slight changes to World Quests surrounding their uptimes and rotations.

Dragonflight takes inspiration from the Legion expansion in terms of style but follows a different route regarding availability. World Quests are no longer daily, however, since they don’t reset every 24 hours. Now, players will be able to revisit certain World Quests throughout the week, with the schedule being refreshed twice every seven days.

What time do World Quests reset in WoW Dragonflight?

World Quests in WoW Dragonflight reset with the corresponding weekly reset time on Tuesdays at 10am CT and Fridays at 10pm CT. Some World Quests last seven days, giving them a weekly reset schedule on Tuesdays when the servers reset. 

Other Dragonflight World Quests—including some in Zaralek Cavern and the Emerald Dream—do not follow this schedule, and instead spawn outside of these set times, but still usually last on the map for the same duration as standard World Quests. This staggered spawn rate ensures players who do play the game to its fullest every day have something to do in the open world when they log on.

The main reason why dailies were turned into bi-weekly World Quests was Blizzard’s desire to avoid making the challenges feel mandatory. A bi-weekly reset schedule allows players to complete the World Quests at their own pace without any rush. In previous expansions, a new set of World Quests would spawn every day, making them feel like a mandatory grind that you’d have to complete to keep up with the gearing curve—especially in the early stages of expansions like Battle for Azeroth.

Considering World Quests are currently a hot topic within the community, the system can be subject to more changes in the future. Based on feedback, Blizzard may continue tinkering with the system to find the perfect formula for all kinds of players.

Given the different types of players playing WoW, it can take time to develop a questing system that fulfills the needs of all parties actively playing the game. While the most hardcore players can favor a daily system since they’ll have the time to complete all the challenges, players with less time on the live servers will appreciate the more laid-back approach of the bi-weekly challenges.
