The Importance of Dailies, A Guide for World of Warcraft

If you are not taking advantage of the daily quests on World of Warcraft, then you’re certainly missing out on accumulating a lot of important bonuses, gear, and enchantments.

Many WoW players believe that they should stop doing quests altogether the moment they reach level 80. The truth is that level 80 should be the point where you really begin to focus on doing daily quests to earn gold and reputation with various factions.

Of course you’ll always need gold to purchase crafted gear, gems, and enchanting materials from others so you can gear up to run Icecrown Citadel. WoW dailies provide you with a steady source of income, which is important for those players who just don’t understand how to use the auction house system very well.

The deceptively simple act of running WoW dailies can earn you an average of 300 gold for doing all of your daily quests. Do the math. Since each character can run 25 quests per day, and many of them pay an average of 13 gold per quest, it's a great way to enhance resources.

The Importance of Reputation

Another thing that’s often overlooked on World of Warcraft is reputation.

It may seem to some as though reputation just isn’t worth their time, but there are factions that offer rewards which make it very helpful to have an exalted status with them. It may be true that reputation isn’t too important while you’re leveling, but once you reach level 80, you’re going to need to purchase special enchantments from certain factions.

Everyone, even enchanters, will want to work on their reputation with these factions because the enchantments offered as rewards cannot be handed out by enchanters.

One of the first reputations you should work on through WoW dailies is with the Sons of Hodir. These daily quests are located in the Storm Peaks area. In fact, you may even have completed some of them while you were leveling your character.

The Sons of Hodir offer enchantments for pretty much every class, in addition to special gem designs for jewel crafters, rare and epic mounts, and the tailoring pattern for the 22-slot glacial bag.

To purchase any of the rewards from the Sons of Hodir, just visit the quartermaster in the Storm Peaks area.

Tips About Planning Your Route

Since you’re able to do 25 daily quests per day, you might be wondering just how quickly you can get them done. After all, you probably don’t want to spend all day playing World of Warcraft, no matter how much you enjoy the game.

Or not...

However, if you DO have a life outside of World of Warcraft (watch The Guild for a laugh), you can actually get your WoW dailies done in two hours or less...if you plan your route carefully. To stay in control, you don't want to waste any time traveling between daily quests, so you’ve got to do as many of them in one area at the same time as you possibly can.

To help with your planning, it’s really not a bad idea to check out a good WoW dailies guide like Dugi’s Dailies and Events Guide. Getting started with a regular daily quest routine can be overwhelming to the newbie, but a good WoW dailies guide can really help you order your thoughts and figure out how to create a speed gold run.
