Zaishen Challenge Quest

Zaishen Challenge Quests are daily quests offered by the Zaishen Order designed to encourage players to re-experience different parts of the Guild Wars game world.

Description

There are four types of Zaishen Challenges, each of which is obtained from a signpost of the same name in the Great Temple of Balthazar. Only one quest of each type is offered each day.

• Zaishen Bounty quests require players to seek out and slay specific bosses or boss-like foes.
• Zaishen Combat quests challenge players to compete in different PvP modes.
• Zaishen Mission quests ask players to complete Cooperative Missions.
• Zaishen Vanquish quests ask players to vanquish various areas.

The quests offered change daily at 16:00 UTC. Even though the quests are only available for 24 hours, completed quests can be turned in at any time, allowing you to keep the quest active as long as you need to complete it. You can keep up to 3 quests of each type in your Quest Log at a time.

Schedule

Each type of Zaishen Challenge Quest has a fixed, repeating schedule. The tables below list the quests that were or will be available within 7 days.

Game updates have altered these schedules in the past. It is possible that this may happen again in the future, in which case the schedules below will be unable to predict future quests until the new schedule has completed a full cycle.

Rewards

The rewards for completing Zaishen Challenges include experience, faction or reputation points, gold, and Copper Zaishen Coins. Each quest has a base objective, the fulfillment of which will complete the quest. The quests also have bonus objectives (except for the Vanquish quests), which reward additional Copper Zaishen Coins if completed. The exact rewards and objectives vary depending on the quest type and the relative difficulty of the quest.

Zaishen Coins

Zaishen Coins come in copper, silver, and gold denominations. There are three NPCs in the Great Temple of Balthazar who will trade the coins for various rewards and can also convert coins to a higher denomination.

• Tesla [Zaishen Copper Rewards]
• Pokhe [Zaishen Silver Rewards]
• Jessie Llam [Zaishen Gold Rewards]

Notes

Bug! If you log out with a character immediately after turning in a completed Zaishen quest, and do not log back in until that same quest becomes available again, you will not be able to take the new quest with that character. This can be avoided by zoning before you log out after turning in the completed quest.

Historical note: Zaishen Challenge Quests were introduced as part of the Fourth Anniversary update; at this time only Bounty, Mission, and Combat quests were available. Zaishen Vanquish quests were added in the 2011 Feature Build.

Trivia

• The highest possible daily Zcoin reward (on a single character, without repeating the Zaishen Combat quest) is 960 .
