How do daily missions and the question of the day work?
Three short missions a day: how you start, complete and claim them, how the question of the day works and what the weekly goal brings.
Published
Every day there are three short missions in fixed slots. They earn you XP for your level and, while a season is running, Season Points. Only real actions confirmed by the server are rewarded.
How a day works
Open Daily missions and select Start missions. You do this again every day, and progress only counts from then on.
Complete the missions. Each one shows what to do and how far you have got.
Claim each completed mission with Claim reward. Before that, you see how many XP will still be credited.
A new day starts at 00:00 UTC, which is 1 am in Central Europe, or 2 am in summer. Claim your rewards before then: after that there are new missions, and the previous day's can no longer be claimed.
The three slots
Check-in: one deliberate click on Check in now when you're here.
Discover: open a published WANTED SIX article you haven't marked yet. After a short reading time it's marked as read, or you mark it yourself.
Take part: a real community task, such as registering for an open challenge or the question of the day.
If there is no mission for a slot that you can complete today, the slot stays empty. If a suitable one turns up later, you fetch it with Get a new mission.
The question of the day
The question of the day is a knowledge question about published content, with three or four answers. You get one try, and the server checks your answer. Afterwards you see the correct answer, a short explanation and the source. If your answer is right, the mission is done. If it's wrong, there's a new question the next day.
The weekly goal
If you claim enough daily missions on several different days in a week, you reach the weekly goal and claim the weekly reward once. Your missions page shows how many missions and days are needed. A week starts on Monday at 00:00 UTC. There can also be rare weekly goals, and you can claim at most one of them per week.
Good to know
Ordinary daily missions don't earn Wanted Tokens.
XP from daily missions are capped per day, and all XP together per week. Anything above a cap isn't saved up.
An active XP boost adds 10 percent to ordinary daily and weekly XP.
Page views, likes, follows, comments and messages don't count.
Under “History” on the missions page you see your past missions and what was credited.
The public daily missions page also shows the current missions, rewards and caps.
