Monthly quest

Monthly quests are repeatable once per calendar month, and reset early in the morning on the first of every month.

Consortium membership benefits
Before Patch 4.3, there was only one such monthly quest in the game: Membership Benefits from the Consortium faction in Nagrand on the Outland. Players are internally offered a different quest based on their reputation standing with the Consortium, with higher standings awarding greater amounts of gems.

Darkmoon Faire
With the update of Darkmoon Faire on Darkmoon Island, several quests are only available once a month when the Faire is active.

Kill quest
Players are offered one kill-counting quest each month: Test Your Strength. Players must have the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in their inventory for the (experience- or honor-granting) kills to count and must obtain the kills during the duration of the faire.

Profession quests

Each month, players with a minimum skill level of 75 in up to six professions may complete once-monthly quests in exchange for tickets. Several quests require items that must be imported from outside the faire.

Drop quests

 * Main article: Darkmoon Despoiler section of Darkmoon Faire

Players must have the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in their inventory for the quest-starting items to drop, but can collect items all month long, even while the faire is not active. The items are also tradeable and can be bought and sold on the Auction House.
