{{Quotation|[https://web.archive.org/web/20090719015426/http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/the_world/activities/zaishen_challenges.php 4th anniversary content update]|
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 Coin]]s! Both challenge quests and Zaishen Coins were introduced in our [[Fourth Anniversary content update|Fourth Anniversary Update]].

The [[Zaishen]] post their challenges each day 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|Mission completion]]. Finish certain missions that the Zaishen deem high priority.
* [[Zaishen Bounty|Bounties]]. Protect the innocent and kill those evil bosses!
* [[Zaishen Combat|Combat]]. Battle it out in different arenas and triumph over other players.

{{Quotation|[https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Developer_updates/20110303 Destination: Embark Beach]|In [[Embark Beach]], a new signpost for daily quests allows you to take on [[Zaishen Vanquish]]es. Each day a new area will offer a quest, providing extra incentives and rewards for vanquishing that map. You can hold up to three vanquish quests in your log, and all zones that can be vanquished are part of the quest rotation.}}

[[Zaishen Challenge Quest]]s are [[quest]]s that are given out daily at 16:00 UTC ({{North American daylight saving time|9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time|8:00 AM Pacific Standard Time}}) at [[Embark Beach]] or [[Great Temple of Balthazar]]. There are four different types of quests available: [[Zaishen Mission|Mission]], [[Zaishen Bounty|Bounty]], [[Zaishen Vanquish|Vanquish]], and [[Zaishen Combat|Combat]]; and all quests give rewards that include [[Zaishen Coin]]s, [[Experience]], [[Gold]], and [[Faction rewards]].

== Notes ==
* The different objectives in all quests can be fulfilled separately and in any frame of time. That means, for example:
** You can complete the [[Zaishen Mission]] quest itself in [[Hard mode]] and fulfill the bonus objectives in [[Normal mode]].
** You can take as much time and as many rounds as you need to complete the bonus objectives of the [[Zaishen Combat]] quests.
* Each [[character]] is limited to 3 active quests per challenge type.
* The Zaishen Challenge Quests are available for one day according to a set rotation: Mission quests repeat [[Zaishen Mission/cycles|every 69 days]], Bounty quests every [[Zaishen Bounty/cycles|66 days]], Vanquish quests every [[Zaishen Vanquish/cycles|136 days]], and Combat quests follow a [[Zaishen Combat/cycles|28-day]] rotation.
* You can keep any quest for as long as you want before doing it, but you will not be able to take it again until completing it.
** If you keep a Zaishen Mission, Bounty or Vanquish quest for the whole rotation and complete it on the day it repeats, it will not be offered again on that day.
** Zaishen Combat quests can be [[Quest#Traits|repeated]] on the same day.
* You will get the expected benefits for turning in Zaishen Mission, Bounty, and Vanquish quests during certain [[weekly bonuses]]: double [[Sunspear rank|Sunspear]] and [[Lightbringer rank|Lightbringer]] points during ''Elonian Support'' and double Eye of the North [[reputation]] points during ''Northern Support''.
* Consider completing Zaishen Mission, Bounty, and Vanquish quests before their corresponding double [[Copper Zaishen Coin]]s weekly bonus and waiting until that week to turn them in.

{{bug|A [[character]] will lose the opportunity to take a quest the next time it appears in the rotation if after accepting the quest reward and before the next time that quest appears in the rotation that character does not change [[district]]s, [[zone]]. This bug does not affect Zaishen Combat quests.}}
{{bug|Unlike other quests:
*Zaishen Challenge Quests with all objectives completed are not indicated with a ''"(Completed)"'' beside the quest name in the [[Quest Log]].
*The [[chat window]] does not display the usual ''"You receive <number> [[gold]]."'' message after accepting the reward for a Zaishen Challenge Quest.}}
{{bug|Trying to [[Movement controls|auto-run]] to one of the three signposts may cause you to run between them until you change direction. There's a small bit of space marked as pathable, but which is too small to actually move through.}}
