Zaishen Challenge Quest

Every day, we challenge you with different objectives, all over the world, running the gamut from missions to bounties to PvP. Take our daily challenges and get big rewards, including Zaishen Coins! Both challenge quests and Zaishen Coins were introduced in our Fourth Anniversary Update.

The Zaishen post their challenges each day at Noon (Eastern Time) (16:00 UTC) on signs in the Great Temple of Balthazar. Click the signs to read the quest details and accept the challenge. Please note that, although you can finish them whenever you like, your Quest Log can only hold up to three of each type of Zaishen Challenge Quests.

Three quest types are offered each day
 * Zaishen Mission:  Finish missions deemed high priority by the Zaishen. These are replays of campaign missions.
 * Zaishen Bounty: Eliminate bosses targeted by the Zaishen. These take you to various dungeons, veteran missions, and explorable areas.
 * Zaishen Combat: Triumph over other players or teams in various types of PvP combat.

All of the Zaishen Mission quest pages have already been created. All that remains is to link to and edit the appropriate page as the mission comes up. Similarly, all of the Zaishen Combat quest pages are already in place, so rather than creating a new page, please link to the appropriate one and edit the date.

Rewards
Each quest has one Base Objective, which is required to complete the quest. The rewards for completing a quest include:
 * Experience
 * Faction
 * Gold
 * Title points
 * Zaishen Coins

Quests also have one or more optional Bonus Objectives, which reward extra Zaishen Coins.
 * Prophecies missions have two bonuses, one for completing the mission in Hard Mode and one for completing the Bonus.
 * Factions and Nightfall missions have two bonuses, one for completing the mission in Hard Mode and one for achieving a Master's ranking.
 * Eye of the North missions have one bonus, completing the mission in Hard Mode.
 * The bounties have one bonus, killing the target in Hard Mode.
 * The PvP have two bonuses, requiring an increased number of victories and potentially entry into more difficult variants of the base objective.

Zaishen Coins
These come in copper, silver, and gold denominations, and are only available for completing Zaishen Challenge Quests. Exchange your coins for a variety of items at
