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: [15-30] 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: [1-70] 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[]
