Starting with the simplest tasks like delivering goods to the local blacksmith and ending with the most complicated tasks, for instance, dealing with the members of the Cult of the Dark Strand or finding UBRS key, quests will be the constant source of danger as well as reward. Besides it is a great way to help gamers spread all over the world instead of huddling together in a single cave.

How to find a quest?
Usually all you need to do is talk to Non-Player Character (NPC) when you see exclamation mark above their head. Exclamation mark means that a character has an assignment for you. Question mark will help you find the same NPC who has given you a task to get a reward. World of Warcraft offers many other ways for gamers to get assignments, yet gamers have to find quests themselves.

Since there are countless quests in the game, it is highly recommended to consult with your quest log. The details of every quest will include the most important information: quest requirements, the NPC, who gave you an assignment, and, finally, promised reward. Moreover, quests in your quest log are classified according to zones, so that gamers could see what quest to complete at the moment.
